Weigh in day..

Today was my official weigh in day, I had weighed myself on Friday but wanted to wait till it was "official" to actually log it. So this morning I weighed myself and I've lost 2.8lbs since last week around this time. This is great progress! I mean, I had visions last night of being at least another pound lower and this morning started giving myself a hard time (why did I have that cupcake and glass of wine last night?) but, then I realized that this is not a sprint, it's a marathon. I know that these results will not be typical every week and some weeks I'll lose this much and some weeks not as much, so I just have to give myself a break. I did GREAT this weekend, I kept reminding myself "I have weigh in Monday" and that kept me away from the treats and the binges that I normally will do on weekends. If I didn't have a treat every now and then.. I'd go crazy.

It's now been two weeks since I decided to cut the gluten down from my diet, it's definitely been a more positive experience. Some days are easier than others, but I continue to press on. I've made sure to stock my cabinets with healthy gluten free treats for days I feel like I REALLY need to break. I've been searching and making healthier GF recipes for dinner as well, so some days are completely gluten free. I really feel like this is going to help my thyroid and for the first time I'm hopeful about maybe going off of the medication at some point again (I was off for a few years because my thyroid was normal and then pregnancy happened). I've been drinking TONS of water lately too, I'm always trying to make sure I have water near me because I've noticed if I go to long without drinking it I get dehydrated (quicker than I thought!).

This morning I worked out for the first time in a long time, I did a group fitness class called Grit. The name was appropriate. It was a lot of fun, I wish I could do it on a regular basis but the location of the gym just wouldn't work out for me on days I have to head into the office. I went and checked out the "fancy" gym that is closer to my office over the weekend and fell in love with it. They had just about everything you could possibly want and or need in a gym. Too bad it was way out of my price range..I know I should think of it differently, but I just can't justify spending $150 a month on a gym. Ugh I wish I could. It really was fantastic, the yoga studio was so peaceful and warm. Ah well, I'll figure something out! Either way the class this morning was great (and painful).

So progress! I am back to have lost 25.8 lbs and I'm continuing on!

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
