It's not easy, but it's worth it.

Yesterday started my day of really cracking down and not using any excuses. I had a good day, I was up at 4:05 (yes, AM) and was at the gym by 5:15. I did the treadmill for a half an hour, I felt really good! I did some interval training to start getting back on track, I can really feel the weight on me when I run so it's become a bit more difficult. Ate great the entire day, came home and had dinner (which was really good as well!) and did the 21 day fix total body cardio fix. I was in a pretty bad mood after that, just being tired and hangry (nope not a typo) all got to me. So I went to bed early and got up this morning to start all over again. 

Today was a bit tougher, I wasn't as bright and perky when I woke up. I'm pretty sure I did not actually wake up until I had been on the treadmill for about 10 minutes. I did NOT want to run/jog or anything this morning, I really just wanted to lay on the mat after I finished stretching and stay there. I did my interval training again this morning though and I finished. This will be hard and I will have days when I just.. can't do it, but I will have to anyways. I won't give up on myself. To help with some motivation, I took pictures this morning with just my sports bra and shorts on. It was..shocking to say the least. I realized I've looked at myself but I haven't really been seeing myself. Well if I ever needed anything to push me, that is definitely something to use.

Today should go a bit smoother with my eating than yesterday, yesterday I didn't give myself much to eat at all. See, I'm doing the 21 day fix combined with Shakeology. I know, I've talked in the past about how I couldn't see myself doing this stuff again, but, my body really needed that extra push. I've got a friend that's helping me with it and I'm in a couple groups to help (including a Biggest Loser Challenge!). So with the 21 day fix, I'm really trying to follow the plan, but yesterday I didn't give myself enough food. One of the reasons I was probably so tired and not in a great mood even after a work out. So today, I brought way more in and am going to trust in the plan that it DOES work.

Motivation, Inspiration and realizations.

Last night while on the treadmill I had a realization as to why I have never been able to stick to losing weight or "dieting". I realized that I was always doing it for someone else, my mother, my husband, my friends.. but not myself. I have never done it so that I can feel good. This has been why I have failed every single other time I have tried it, it's a cycle. I feel embarrassed about the way I look because I'm afraid of what other people will think of me, so I say "I'M GOING TO START A DIET! AND I'M GOING TO LOSE 50 POUNDS AND BE 100 POUNDS!" (sorry for the shouty caps so early in the morning it's for emphasis)I then go crazy with the first week of the diet, maybe even the first month. I work out like crazy. I restrict myself to certain foods because they are not "in the diet"  so after the first month, I start to get depressed that it's not happening faster and that I haven't lost all 50 pounds. I then start slowly eatin

Krystale VS. Evil weight loss monitor thingymajig

So, we all know the thingymajig that I am talking about. That little thing with the handles that they use at the gym to tell your BMI and body fat percentage. It.is.evil. Pure evil. I had bought one awhile back (before I started with MFP) thinking "This will be so great! I will be able to see my BMI go way down! woohoo!"  Yeah. A month into I started getting depressed. Two months into it I could barely look at that thing without wanting to throw it out the window. Hard. I know that it was my fault (I wasn't counting calories and I wasn't putting the effort into my weight loss ), I expected magic results just because I bought this little contraption.  It wasn't happening and I was getting so discouraged, I threw the thing in a drawer and forgot about it. I was always on the "high-very high" side.  This morning as I was getting ready for work I noticed it in the drawer and I thought "hm. It has been awhile, let's see what it is now.." Mind

It's a new week!

I haven't really been writing lately, I'm finding it hard to stay in the groove.  I write when I'm doing well because of course I have good things to write about. I try to write when I'm not doing so well and usually end up deleting the post 4 times before just quitting all together. Here is my struggle: I cannot for the life of me stay with this running thing. I am having the hardest time staying motivated to go out and run! It's beautiful out in the morning, I can get up at 5am and have my run done by 6, get home and get my day started. I just have such a hard time actually getting up and getting out there.  I know it's a matter of having that push, I just, I'm not even really sure why I can't. Then if I don't get up, I think that I'll be able to get out and go for a run during the day, well with my new workload, that doesn't happen either.  I've been trying to do a lot of workouts I found on Pinterest because those can be done quickl
