Fail to plan plan to fail

I haven't been doing great the last few weeks at planning and you know what, it's shown. I've been off the rails again. Ugh. So this week, I planned my meals already, did my grocery shopping and I have my plan ready to set up on Sunday. I only need to grab some mason jars and we should be good to go! 

I'm going to share my meal plan so you can all see what I'm aiming for.
Monday: Chicken Zoodle Caprese
Tuesday: Taco stuffed peppers with side salad
Wednesday: Turkey burgers with sweet potato fries (for me) Regular fries (for the guys) and a side salad
Thursday: Filet Mignon with baked potato (Sweet for me) and Asparagus (possibly bacon wrapped)
Friday: Steak Kabobs with peppers/onions/mushrooms (For me) and zucchini "fries" 
Saturday: we're having family over so I'll do a big meal
Sunday: Pizza skillet with a side salad 

For breakfast I'm going to make overnight oats for myself, smoothies for my guys (and a veggie one for me for a snack). Lunch for me will be a sweet potato black bean burrito.

 The best part about all of this is that it gives me lots and lots of veggies in my daily intake and nothing processed! All real food! For snacks I have some celery, carrots, popcorn, fruit etc. to keep me on track. I also got some of that Halo Top ice cream, that is actually really good! 

My big goal is to get up early and get to the gym every morning. I have zero excuses now other than I'm being lazy. I'm tempted to sign up for a 10k in a few months just to stay motivated. 

Anywayyy.. I'll keep updating and get myself back on track. :)

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
