about that website,anyway enjoy your weekend,Tammy
 
getting control

Hi all,
Anna all I can say is wow. what a wonderful post you left me!!!! Tammy, Ashley and Debbie thank you as well:) I would not be where I am if it wasn't your wonderful support! I am having a good weekend. I forced myself to enjoy eating all the sushi I wanted for date night and even followed it up is 1/2 cup of fat free sugar free ice cream with an oreo cookie. My cals were up over 2000 but I didn't sweat it. Yesterday I vowed to eat well and I did it. 1300 calories for the day. Today I am hungry but it is 2:30 and all I have had is cereal today so when I am done with this I am going to get something to eat. The scale this morning said 165.2 and then when I jumped on after my shower it said 164.0:) It makes me feel better that even though I mess up if I don't let it take control then I can come out ok.
I have had a lot of time with the boyfriend this weekend without my little one which I love but I miss my little one at the same time. I am not sure my boyfriend understands how I can be disapointed my son isn't here... sigh. Anna mentioned time to myself and I am not sure how much time I have to myself. Everytime I have a free minute I am thinking I should call a friend so I can spend some time with them. It is hard to carve out things for myself to do. I think I need a break. It would be nice when my son is away to do things on my own too but then I want to spend that time with my boyfriend and friends too... not that I get much time Armando free. It's hard and I feel like I am rambling. The summer is coming soon and if I can just hang on for one more month I will have more time to relax and do things. I can't wait:)
Oh and Tammy myspace is apperantly full of errors in their coding... that's what my b/f says at least lol. He is still surprised that site is running at all. Thanks for the thought though:)
x's and o's to you all!
 
Hey Mishi,
It's hard when we're torn in so many directions at one time!

And good for you for washing 1.2 pounds of dirt off with that shower ;)
 
LMAO!! Oh M you are too funny.... I am thinking all the lotion I put on in the morning is making things stick to me when the wind blows;) however my boyfriend is shaking his head... maybe I am just a dirty girl:D
 
OMG - I can just picture you all greased up with leaves, twigs and dirt stuck all over you ;)
 
Cruisen' on a Tuesday Afternoon... la la la

Ha ha. I am in such a silly mood today:) and the thought of me covered in twigs and dirt from my morning lotion. God my skin has been sooooo dry!!! I hate it! Always when the weather changes.
So I have been doing very well the last several days. I am proud and I feel in control. Yesterday I was around 1450 calories and I had been at the gym and burned 250 calories. So it evens out well. I had trouble on the scale this morning and got several weights but the one that happened more than once was 165.4. I am not sure what was affecting it.
I went to the gym yesterday and am on track to go today. I ran 20 minutes at 4.0 which I know isn't fast but I have to start somewhere. I am going to try to up it today to 4.5 for 20 minutes.
I really want to make working out part of my routine and lifting weights needs to come in eventually. I really want to work on that wierd flabby skin that is left over from the weight loss. I can see my hipbones when I stand up which is amazing but right between them there is a weird belly roll. It would be nice to be tight all the way accross:D
Not a lot to talk about today but thought I would post my fitday address as I have been so good for the last 4 months about posting everyday:)
Hope you all are doing well!!!
 
Howdy Mish,
Silly days are great I usually have a great day when I am in a rare silly mood lol.Wow congrats on sugar free ice cream and "A" oreo geeesh I would have killed a 1/2 pk easily,thanks for your support and have a wonderful day Tammy
 
Hi Mish-Mash, how are you? I'm glad our posts helped you through the blahs. I get them too. Weight loss is beginning to feel more and more like my RRSPs (Registered Retirement Savings Plan). Gains/losses over the long-term.
 
hungry Mishi

So the scale seems to have stalled for me. I know I am working out a bit more and my calories are higher... 1500's but I haven't had this stability in my weight. Normally I jump within 3 lbs or so and eventually go down but this week I have stayed pretty consistantly at 165. I am semi worried it is a plateau and that i will have to work out with some regularity now:p I know it isn't something I should dread but I have never been good sticking at something for longer than 3 months! This 3 day a week thing isn't so bad though. Small steps right?
Before I freak out I will give it a few weeks. My weight has been plunging this month and it's normal for it to even out eventually. I am still one pound down from last week. So we will see what Friday's weigh in is.
M- thank you I enjoyed my silly day:D lol goofy mood is gone and stress and tiredness has taken over.. however no worries as that is par for the course at the end of the year. Only one more month!!!
Nia- thank you:) It was hard to stick to the single oreo but I did eat 30 pieces of sushi and that extra oreo would have popped me!! lol
2skinny- mish-mash huh??;) lol actually the pronounciation of Mishi is Mee-she. Mish rhymes with leash. he he he. I have a best friend named Elishia and we call her Lish.... said like leash so it is Mish and lish. lol boy we are retarded!! lmao and seriously I think as we get closer to our goal the focus really needs to be there!! YOu have been doing great with the exercise and calories!
Hope you all have a fan-tabulous day. he he he... apparently silly mood came back mid-post:D
 
Check in

So today has been a good day for me. I was able to keep my calories low:) FitDay.com - Diet and Fitness journal for acanthusbloom I went to the gym and ran for 20 minutes at 4.5 and then pushed it up to 6.0 the last few minutes. I am feeling really good right now and it is nice to have the lower calories to balance all the really high days I had. So I am going to do some work tonight and be productive. Have a great night!!!
Nia- thank you:) I needed an updated pic:) and just went to the dentist;) lol

blah blah blah

So today is a blah day. I am feeling really disappointed for some stupid reason. I was down a pound and 1/2 from last week and yet that isn't satisfying me. Yesterday I was at 164 and today back up to 165. I don't know why I got so frusturated this time but I didn't even have ice cream last night and was right at 1300 calories for the day. I guess I was expecting more on the scale. As I am getting closer to my final goal I just want that scale to move!! I am worried because I know as people get closer it tends to get harder to lose that last 10, 15, 20lbs. I am thinking about picking up a weight lifting class on Fridays. Todays has been cancelled but I think I will sign up to go next week. We shall see. I used to do that class last winter and I was doing pushups and situps in the am. When I stopped doing the morning pushups and situps I went to the class and there was a noticable difference. This lady kicks your booty into shape!!! I need some weight lifting to help with all this saggyness. sigh. It's Friday and I am so happy it's the weekend. There is so much laundry to do but at least I can relax a bit. Hope you all have a great weekend!!!
 
Howdy Mish,
I feel your "blahness"I gained 2lbs but I have a reason and it's a
bad 1 lol"APLEBEES" yesterday I guess the foods I ate had lots of sodium and other bad things init because I still managed under 2000 cals but I didn't walk either.Anyway you are so close to that 160 mark your doing great,I would kill to be looking at 160's now instead I am staring at the 179-180 mark which I done said goodbye to 180's.I hope you have a fun weekend and the blahness passes,Tammy
 
Feelin' Good

Good morning all!!!
Today I am feeling great and I know some of it has to do with the scale this morning! 162.0! I am very excited and also I am feeling better after being sick yesterday. I am going to try not to overdo it because I can feel the cold still in the back of my throat but it's nice to be conscous. This weekend has been bad food wise. Friday was a high day with a butter sauce rice dish- 1700 cals for the day. Saturday was bad food-wise because I was painting and cleaning all day (7 hours!!) and all there was was pizza. I was good and only had 2 slices but then I was hungry for dinner, even though I was at my cals and ate huge amounts of sushi (2100 cals). Yesterday I was sick and though I only had about 1000 cals... 90% of those calories came from bowls of ice cream:rolleyes:. So here it is Monday and the end of the month and I want to push it and burn lots of cals but if I get sicker it will suck and I don't have any more days off! So I need to take care of myself. Today is the last day in April and for every new month I look at how I did over the last month and make my goals for the next. I don't have my goals pinned down for May yet but I am figuring the course I am on is a good one. I want to regain some of my lost control and add some weight training into my exercise. I would like to get comfortably into the 150's! For April I have done well. I have had some food setbacks but I have done well going to the gym most weeks and my running time has increased:) I have lost 10lbs this month and that is very decent considering my goal was to maintain while I healed. It is crazy I am still losing at this rate and I am not sure what makes it so. Do I really burn so many calories in my day that even with the high days I even out with a loss?? It is very confusing when I felt that I could have done better and then the scale says I am doing fine. It's a good thing but as I get closer to my goal and then the start of maintanace I really want to figure it out. I have no idea of what my next step is. I know once I get to 145 I will want to maintain but I don't know how to do that. Mal was talking about 10 cals for ever 1lb of body weight. Is that a maintanance level? should I just keep where I am on calories and get down to a 135? I have no idea what I should do but I am hoping as I get there I will see the light. I don't think I will ever be one of those girls that busts my butt 7 days a week at the gym. My family needs my time. However I don't want to eat like a rabbit forever and I want something to balance the occaisional banana split I will have. In the back of my head I hear the 90% of dieters gain it back and I don't want to be one of those. It is a scary percentage. Some of me knows that I have done this well and if I can just keep hold of what I am doing I will be fine. I feel comfortable with what I eat unless I am PMS'ing. Sometimes the cravings get the best of me but most of the time they don't. I just have to keep on that track. It is crazy being here. This weight is something I haven't been in over a decade! I look different. I feel different. I have lots of skin to take care of but otherwise I can see the little body I was meant to be peeking out at me. It is an amazing experience! thank you all for being there for me! Without y'alls support I don't think I would be where I am:) Hope you all have a great Monday!!!!
And Nia come summer we will both be sporting bikini's and lookin' great! :D
 
Howdy Mish
I am glad your feeling better I wish mine would go away as well! I am taking a "Z" pack that my mother N law gave me it is a 5 day strong antibiotic so I am hoping it will kill whatever I have.Even with your eating over the weekend 2100 cals isn't horrible,lol I think I had that in 1 sitting yesterday.Congrats on 162 and losing 10lbs this month I am so proud of ya and I love coming here to read for some motivation! Have a great Monday Tammy

I can totally relate to that Mee-shee (now I get it :eek: ), I can get down if I don't see the results I hope for. My scale at home seems to be addicted to the number 155, so I've decided my scale is a masochistic sociopath. Now I just weigh myself at the university gym scale. But it's not about the weight loss in the long run...it's about being in control, developing good habits, and all that good stuff. You will win out in the end. Because you are telling your body what's WHAT! Go Meeeeeesh!!!
 
weight is weird

So I have been stuck at 162.2 for two days and this just isn't like me. I usually bounce around within 3 lbs or so. I have been really steady the last two weeks (165 last week and 162 this week) and I am not sure what it means. Is that what happens when your weight gets lower? Am I heading for a stall? I have no idea but because school is so close to being out I am consumed with stress so there isn't much time to worry about this. Just curious...
Thanks Nia:) It is wonderful being here and knowing how far I have come:)
Anna- You are right but yet the scale is still my ultimate motivator. I know once I get closer to the goal I will have to be satisfied with staying there and then I shouldn't focus on the scale but maintaining. I just feel the scale is such a good indicator of how I am doing and though I also take measurements those are so slow. The scale gives me results everyday. However I am telling my body whats what.... lol. lol well there is leash.... and squeash ;) and a whole bunch of non-words it rhymes with he he he.
Hope you all have a great day!
