Week 3 progress updates!

Well week 3 is in the books, great! I will say honestly I haven't been as good this week, but, that's just due to some rough stuff we're going through, all will be ok and I am back on track today with counting calories and working out. I did get a run in on Monday which was great,I will also do a workout today!  I weighed myself this morning just to see how I was doing, I was not expecting any type of loss ( I weighed in on Sunday and I did in fact lose 2 pound last week). Well I lost .8 oz! I am SO close to being where I was when I weighed in last! I'm not expecting a big loss this week for my own personal reasons, but, it would be nice to lose .2 more pounds and be back where I was a few weeks ago!  We will see! I had to get dressed up yesterday (I work from home so most days my "dressed up" is my LLR leggings and a tank top) and I hadn't worn my "Dressy" clothes in awhile and man it was difficult to find something that fit, everything was too big! My skirts had a lot of space and my button up shirts were hanging off of me. These are clothes that would have barely fit me without some type of contraption to help them on and now they are too big. It's pretty great, I think. I am sure that working from home has helped me in this process, I do get a bit more freedom in when I can do my workouts etc. 

So all in all, everything is going well in this aspect.

I've been nervous to share this with such a broad audience, but I feel like those that read my blog and know my progress are interested in it (maybe?) so I'm going to share my progress photos on here :). This was last week as I haven't taken any this week yet, but there certainly is a noticeable difference.  The picture on the left is a few weeks ago when I first started and the picture on the right was last week.

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
