May be keeping my blog

OK found a little box to check in the settings that may fix my spam issues. If so then I will keep my blog because I really want to start writing again, I just don’t want to waste my time writing a blog i’m going to delete. So i’ll give it another 24hours and see if the spam stops finally, because 6-10 comments a day is ridiculous.

Giving up

Not on my weight loss but on this site. In the past two days I’ve received nothing but spam and it gets annoying to have to come on here hoping for a legit comment with words of encouragement to only find generic ones with a link to a site that has nothing to do with weight loss. By all means if you are a fellow blogger and want me to check out your blog please leave your link, I love reading about other peoples journey and triumphs. So this may be my last post. I’ll decide over the next few days after seeing if I get a ton more spam.

It’s been awhile

So this past month and a half I’ve basically maintained my weight. I gained about 5lbs back, but I’ve been so depressed lately. Even working out isn’t lifting my mood, but I’m still determined. I’ve set new goals for myself and I won’t let them pass me by this time. I want to be out of the obese category (as far as my BMI is concerned) by the end of September. That’s about 3.3lbs a week, then by the end of November I want to be in the healthy category. That’s about 3.1lbs a week. I’d be skinny by Christmas! It would be so nice to not only spend a Christmas eating what I want without people looking at me like I shouldn’t be doing it, but to also start the new year off without making the same old resolution. New years eve is my favorite holiday and I could actually wear a cute cocktail dress and feel confident. So I started watching Jillian Michaels’ new show and what a wake up call. It was just what I needed to get my butt back up and moving again. I went to the gym and made sure that I would feel what I was doing today. I need to work on the whole eating thing though….. bye bye sweets at work.

outside!

So I ran outside today and I ran the fastest mile I’ve ever run! 12:45! I wasn’t running as long as I’m use to but I blame that on no treadmill to keep pace for me, so I’m probably running a lot faster than I’m use to, making it hard to run as long. But I still ran a fast mile. Well fast for me anyway. And I have really been slacking on my workouts and eating healthy due to PMS. Why don’t guys have to go through this? I am very happy with myself right now though I just can’t wait to be rid of the weight forever!

So tired

I am really really tired suddenly. But I got my butt to the gym once again and ran today. Up to 7 minute intervals. I probably could have kept it up longer but my legs started to hurt a bit. Tomorrow is the new dance class at the gym though, so I’ll see how much I like it, after I’ll go to yoga, then Zumba Tuesday and maybe a day off on weds? we’ll see how it goes. I have to get through 2 more early shifts at work first, blah. I am soo hungry now and whatever is being cooked in the kitchen smells soooo good but it is taking far too long. but so far so good, lets see if I can keep it up for another week.

UHHH

It’s been a rough few days. My poor heart has been thrown in shredder lately. I think I find someone and then something happens to mess it all up. This one I must say is pretty low. I have someone who I have know for four years tell me he wants to be with me, tell me he wants to get his life together first and then we will be together. I agreed, and I was looking forward to starting something with him. Then two days later after ignored texts and lots of one word answers, his Myspace says he is now in a relationship. With a girl he met less than a week ago. Guess he didn’t want me after all. So I took out my frustrations in Zumba then went to yoga to calm down. I’m still pretty upset about the whole thing but I’m not gonna slow down. I let myself go the last month after getting done with the whole vegan thing and gain 4lbs back. No bueno. So now that I have my gym membership it’s back to hitting it hard. So far I have met all of my goals. My next goal was to feel good in a bathing suit or even just shorts. I will be there by my birthday. I am determined! So I just need to put the stupid guy stuff behind me and move on. Because I’ll be skinny and all the jerks will be sorry.

I am my own worst enemy

I finally signed up for my gym membership yay! Haven’t been able to use it much though. I signed up on Friday, had to go shopping for a dress for the wedding I went to. Saturday had to drive to Monterey for that wedding. Came back that night and went to a birthday party. Pulled and all nighter went to work and then came home exhausted. Had to work super early again Monday and was still tired from all the lack of sleep. But by Tuesday I was ready to workout. I went to Zumba, had a blast. I had every intention of going back the next morning but I woke up sick… oh boy. So I’m hoping I’ll feel better by tomorrow so that I can start my training again, but I need to feel 100% before doing that. It’s not good to train when you’re sick. I am just so happy that when I look in the mirror and look at new pictures I don’t hate what I see anymore :)

Wahoo!

So yesterday feels so long. I had to work at 5:30am, I hate and love those early days. Hate because I have to wake up, love because there is so much I can do with my day. Poor Caitlin had a minor breakdown about her bridesmaid dress. It doesn’t fit. It came from Ebay and said it was a size 4… which is the same size she had tired on in the store… but this dress is not a 4. So she needed some serious cheering up. We went in search of a dress the same color. Found one but it was not a cute dress. To make her feel better I tried on dresses with her. And to my surprise I fit into a 13 in juniors. Wow. I looked at my 8th grade graduation dress and even that was a size 16. So I honestly don’t even know when the last time was I was this small. It feels good. Also I met someone… or well reconnected with someone. I swore we would always only be friends, and I am still sticking with us being just friends, but with benefits. Does that ever really work? I am finding myself falling for him, but I can’t tell you if it’s what I really want. For the first time I am with someone who tells me I am beautiful just the way I am. Makes me feel amazing about myself, takes me dancing, and sits under the stars with me. He is perfect for me in so many ways and here I am saying, I don’t want a relationship from him… just a fling. My best friend is giving us 4 weeks before we start dating. I say no way. We’ll see in 4 weeks who is right.

“You lift my feet off the ground, spin me round, you make me crazier.”

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I had a great Easter for once. My work decided they didn’t need me for the day due to the rain so I was home with the family all day. I got to sleep in, to a nice long shower and got to eat regular food again. Though my stomach didn’t like that much. The only bad thing is I have a horrible sinus headache I can not get rid of. I even took a long nap but it didn’t help. But back to regular life tomorrow and my mom goes back to work on Tuesday! I like my alone time and I want it back. I exercise more when no one is home. My family judges me a lot and when I work out I don’t want to be judged. So hope everyone had a great day, Happy Easter!

Slaying the beast!

It is freezing! This wind and rain came out of no where! I have been shopping like crazy though. It’s so much more fun now that I am in some normal sizes. I have to stop picking things up off the rack and just buying them because I get them home and realize they are too big. Earth to Krista you lost 45lbs you are not the same size you were a few months ago. The mental part is the hardest of the whole weight loss thing. But I’m getting there. I think I will try running on my treadmill tonight. It may be evil, and it may be trying to kill me, but I will show it who’s boss! That and I told my friends if I die on that thing to let the police know it was no accident, that the treadmill did it on purpose. Don’t know if I have mentioned anything about this particular machine before, if I have I’m going to repeat it. It tries to kill me, it has it out for me. It’s starts off playing nice, going at the speed I tell it to go, but just when my guard is down (usually when I start to jog) it kicks it into high gear. The speed will jump from 4.5 to 7.8! Yeah I can’t run that fast. My poor legs are doing all they can to get me off safely. And you may say “Oh Krista it’s probably just on a program.” But no it’s not! I put it on the manual setting and yet it still does it. But I will win this battle… I hope. We’ll see how it goes tonight. Now if only I could find my Ipod.
