Mishi's adventures!

Lowest weight in like 10 years!!!

Ok I know I was goingt to hold strong and not weigh myself until Friday but curiosity got the best of me and I couldn't help but take the scale out and jump on it this morning. 188!!!! I am in the 180's!!!!!! I got to 189 last year with working out for 3 months but not following a diet but not lower than that and it was really not that long at that weight. What's funny is my cloths fit better then because I was getting muscles but now since I am not working out I am still chubby in the thighs but my rolls on my sides are diminishing!! I am so excited!
Thank you for the late b-day Tammy:) My dog takes a million breaks too but i am lucky she runs off the leash and stays with me... unless I run more than 1.75 miles... then I have to drag her along or she'll just stop and go back to the car:p Its funny.
I am still amazed about the concept of smaller size... and that those brain dead cloths distributers consider size 12 a plus size. I am between 16 and 14 now and I would love to be in a 12 too! I hate going to the mall and going to the plus size store. They have cute cloths sometimes but most of the time I feel like I am just being covered up by the bigger cloths and I want something skin tight and slutty!
The first conditioning meeting is today for the softball team. I am excited to be a coach (assistant- I didn't think I was qualified enough to be the coach). We are doing sprints today and weight lifting. I am not sure how much I will be participating or if I will be instructing but eitherway I am putting on my workout cloths for the first time in 2 months! It should be fun.
Thank you all for comments! I am trying so hard to bust ass and reach my 2 month goal of 20lbs- getting to 180 by February 1st! Because of the holidays I didn't think I would get there but I have new hope! Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
 
Heya's Mish!!
Just popped in to say howdy.I have been in the 13-14
size for a while now and can't wait to fit into a size 12!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 2 pair of dress pants that are 12's and fit but no jeans or
my army looking pants won't come near to a zip and a button!
Wow I realized I over do the !!!!!!'s lol.
Have a nice day and keep up the gr8 work,Tammy:)
 
yay!!

It has been a good day. I am riding on the high of this morning and am excited for Fridays weigh in . Today was the first day of softball practice and if I didn't mention I am the assistant coach. The only thing is I have no idea what I am supposed to do and I felt very uncomfortable. I am assuming that will go away as I get used to it but it was nice meeting the girls and we stretched and did wall sits... where you sit against a wall.. lol. I was great for the first 30 seconds then "WHAM" I was going to die and couldn't hold it. I am thinking I want to practice these until I can do it for awhile. Maybe a little bit each day:rolleyes:
we will see. there is practice now everyday until the end of the season so I am worried about the time commited to this site but I will make an effort to post and I enjoy reading diary's. I will have to schedule some time for catch ups:)
Also nia I over-use !!!!!!'s too:) especially in comments lol. Thanks M2M. I am working hard and I am glad to be seeing something happen:) Hope you all have a wonderful night!
 
i always wished i played softball as a kid. its so much fun i was always jealous of the girls on the team!
 
Welcome to the 180s!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! Yay!

And congrats on the coaching too - what a great thing to get involved in!

And, just because we are talking about overusing !!!s, I have to post this video:
 
Softball Day 2

I am excited to do softball conditioning today. I am taking it easy because of my umbelical hernea. It's funny I have been going around for years with this and now I am afraid because I know about it. I just don't want to hurt myself and the doctor said something about the abdominal wall is weak, etc. It was scary. I may have to have surgery:( We will see. So not overextending myself in softball:D I will post later and let you know how I do.
I am doing great food-wise and had 1356 calories yesterday. I am at 660 right now:) yay!
 
great job mishi! i am so glad you found a fun way to excersize...this will keep you motivated to do the work!
 
Up and down

Yesterday was a down day for me. It was Friday and was my weigh in day. I was excited but worried because I had been doing some muscle building exercises in softball practice. When the scale said 188... again... after 3 days I was so upset. My little mind said "see... see what exercise does!" All day I lamented about it and when practice came around I wimped out on most things. I am frusturated with myself! This is not a healthy thing: to fear exercise because in the past I have not lost weight while I was weight training. I know muscle burns calories and overall I will fit better in my cloths and be healthier but even though I know all that I am so dead determined to get that scale to go down I would rather skip exercise until I reach my first plateau. sigh.
Also I have been struggling because it is now hard for me to stay above 1400 calories... some days it is hard to stay above 1000 calories and I have to eat extra things to get there. That is great and all but I want to stay in the range my doctor told me about and I have noticed on days that I go under that range I don't meet my nutritional requirements. I mean I want to be in shape but I don't want osteoperosis because my calcium intake was too low! So yesterday I made a asian chicken stir fry recipie that I found in Fitness magazine. I also added brown rice because like you said Ashley I feel that my meal needs a starch (rice, pasta, etc), a meat and a veggie. The food was so good and I had a bit extra because I needed more calories. Oh god I love chinese/japanese/anything with rice/sushi...I could go on and on:) And then I ended dinner with a skinny cow ice cream sandwich.
Total calories for the day was 1571. I feel better after that for several reasons: 1) It was in the range my doctor reccomended, 2) I felt satisfied and in control, 3) It was full of heathy things and besides calcium I met all my nutrition goals, and 4) I relaxed a little bit about my calories. I was worried that I would go lower and lower on my amount and I don't want any bad health things to happen to me. My friend who did Atkins also did low cal and she is now having some severe health problems: blacking out. She was staying around 1000 calories most days. I don't know for sure if that is the issue but it makes me worry.
So today I have been up so far. Not only am I still satisfied from yesterday I weighed myself today and the scale dropped by 1lb! So I am at 187:) I won't change my ticker until my weigh day on Monday but it was a relief to see that my workouts are not hurting me as I was upset they might.
My goal I set several months ago was that I would get to 180 by February 1st. As the months went by and I didn't really do anything I lost hope. Then December I picked up a bit but due to holidays I didn't lose much and I figured even though I started losing weight in January I couldn't lose that much in a month and would most likely not get down to the 180 I had hoped for. Now 10lbs later I am seeing a glimmer on the horizon. So my hope is renewed and I am gunning for the 180 mark on Feb. 1st. Wish me luck:)
 
wooo hooo I am a "junior member" lol I was wondering when that would change... wonder if I get star;)
Today has gone well so far. Had a taco bell taco for lunch when I came home to put it in the computer I was shocked! 10 g of fat!! It doesn't even look like it would have that much fat! But it was good and now I need to make dinner. I have only had 773 calories so far today and they have been pretty healthy. I have been trying to add more dairy so I am trying to drink some soy milk every morning and today for lunch I had yogurt:) Looking forward to the weigh day on Monday:) My son is watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang behind me... it is cracking me up:)
 
It's Sunday

Ha ha. I didn't really have a title... it is just Sunday but a good day. I weighed myself this morning and I am down to 185!! I changed my ticker even though my weigh day isn't until tommorow. I am just getting prepared:rolleyes: he he he. I am so happy with how this month is going! I am so happy to only be 5lbs away from my first goal... Then I get to make a new ticker! I don't fit in my jeans yet (the ones hanging in my closet I bought last summer) but my weight is lower then it was back then and I am shrinking all over. If I started working out I think it would go faster but that is still a hurdle I need to overcome. So it is a good day. Tommorow is Martin Luther King day and a day off for me:D but today is the commemorative walk for him. So I will be going with one of my students and my son... and maybe my dog to walk like 2 miles or so each way up and down Martin Luther King Drive. It will be good exercise but since I woke up late I will need to eat a bit more than I have. I have had a bowl of cereal but I want a cup of soy milk and a yogurt before I go. Tonight is a stressing meeting with me, my ex and my mom, his dad and his god mother to discuss the fact he is almost $4,000 behind on child support and I am trying to take him to court for it. I know they support me because he needs to own up to his responsibilities but I don't know how this will go. Will be a stressful day for me:( but I hope it will turn out ok in the end:) Have a good/ healthy day y'all!
 
It does sound like a stressful meeting - but you'll get through it and YES, you are doing FANTASTIC this month :)

Good Job!
 
my parents always go to court over child support. i hate it. i hate that they fight so much about me. take it easy. try to stay calm, and dont let it stop you from reaching your goal tomorrow!
 
Hope you had a great Sunday..Sorry to post and
run but trying to say hi to everyone so I can hook my phone
back up,hubby has my pc rigged up so I can be on here for a few
lol! Tammy
 
Mishi!

Congrats! You're doing wonderfully!!! Even despite all the stress!

All money issues suck and they suck even more when you have to get it from someone who isn't paying up. Let us know how it goes. Hopefully with all the other people there he will do what he knows he should.

You are doing so well! 185 is incredible!!
 
Truckin' along:)

So the meeting went ok last night. I have part of his family's support but his dad jumped all over my case and tried to convince me to lower the already low payment that isn't being made anyway because his son couldn't afford it. They think they can go to the state and get the changed but it is in the divorce decree so they would have a hard time and would have to invest in a lawyer. It bugs me because it is like I am being penalized for getting a degree and a good paying job. At one point his dad told me "You are making enough to do it by yourself." God that made me angry! But his godmother (the lawyer) is behind me and has the leverage to kick his ass and the will as well. It was nice to get a place where I could stand up for myself. I know this isn't weight loss related but just venting a bit.
my parents always go to court over child support. i hate it. i hate that they fight so much about me.

My parents always fought over me and my brother too and they would drag us into it. I am not going to do that to my little one and if I can avoid going to court I will but he needs to pay and the state has better leverage than me!
Sigh so thank you all for the support! It is one of the realities of divorce:(and a stressor that before could break any diet- as it was I had a 1/2 cup of ice cream last night and ate a bit more then normal. Calories ended up at 1,600.
So this morning for the official weigh in the scale jumped to 187! I can't believe that it is from the 1/2 cup of ice cream I had yesterday! I am so frusturated because I had been so excited to see the 185. I am not going to change my ticker until I check tommorow and if it is still at 187 then I will move it up:( I am hoping it won't be. I am still proud of the over all work and I remind myself of the same things I write on other peoples comments but it is hard to see the scale go up when you have worked hard. But today is another day and eating is right on track:)
 
*big hug* I am waiting to change my ticker too. Hey, even if there is a gain or not a loss, there is still next week.

I am sorry to hear about your family situation. I agree. It really doesn't matter how much you make. The child is his, too.

My parents are still together, so I've never had to deal with divorce. It must be hard to avoid the emotional eating. Heck, I'll eat 1/2 cup of icecream because it's Sunday.

At least, you didn't grab the carton from the freezer and dig in. You kept yourself to a reasonable portion. Thanks for posting on my journal. I'm pretty bummed about my little weight gain.
 
It sounds like you are being sensible about the divorce - and i'm sure it helps having been through one.

Don't be discouraged about the scale jumping up a little. I bet it will come off again in no time!
 
Where the adventure sours:(

So my time to post has grown short and with softball and everything else it is hard to come here as much as I used to.
My weight has stalled. I had gone down to 185 on sunday and then it went to 187 on Monday, 186 on Tuesday and 187 today. So maybe I have hit a plateau. I didn't think it would happen so fast! I need to add exercise now but because of softball my schedule is so crazy that I don't have a lot of time to fit it in. I need to look for the videos and really get on the ball about doing them at home.
I am frusturated and when my boyfriend bought me chips and salsa last night as a surprise I almost cried. I was ready to eat the whole bag! I held myself back and filled a bowl full of chips and stayed with those but I am frusturated. The stress is triggering my wanting to drown my sorrows in food. I can feel it! I am frusturated by the scale stall and I am frusturated by what is happening with my ex. The stress feels like it is pinning me down and I just want to quit sometimes. I won't but this is so hard!!! (whine). I know these are important issues I am stressed about but I also feel like I am whining and i need to suck it up and be strong and keep going. but sometimes it feels like too much.
I am managing to stay within my calories and I am still eating right so hopefully this will blow past and I will regroup. HOpe you all are doing well. I will try to post as much as I can!
