Mishi's adventures!

Toss the scales out the window. . . .

I'm sure this will blow over. . .my weight is coming off v--e--r--y slowly! One day I will weigh myself and it says 194 and another it says 192 or 193 but the thing I noticed is this.

Once upon a time in the daily weighing, 197 was a number that would pop up . not anymore. . now it's 192 or 193 or 194 . .197 is gone gone gone. . (NEVER TO BE HEARD FROM AGAIN!)

And in a few weeks, the numbers will be 189, 190 , & 191. . the dreaded 194 will be a thing of the past.

So you are bouncing around between 185 - 187 . . .keep doing what you are doing and in a few weeks, 187 will be a faint memory. . . .
 
Into every diet a little rain must fall

So yesterday I mentioned the stress and how I wanted to eat. So danger! We went to an Italian buffet for dinner. I knew what I was doing and I knew what would happen... and it did. Two plates later ( I did load up on salad and veggies with the small amount of pizza and pasta... and meatballs, and alfredo sauce:rolleyes: ) I was into my ice cream and telling myself I would not be guilty about this. My last cheat day was on January 5th and I have been good. But with the challenges it is hard not to feel like a failure for the day. I am sure it will affect my weight. I was not so excited to jump on the scale today because I didn't want to see what I was. I have been hovering around 185, 186 and 187. Jojochku3 you are right about the weight jumping around. Last month I was hovering around 205 and I am not there again even with the pasta I ate last night. So my new task is to make exercise a part of my life and get into a regular schedule. The stress is still with me but I am staying strong and this I am sure will pass. Hope you all are doing well!
Oh yeah final calories for yesterday: 1880:eek:
 
Mishi, I doubt that 2 pounds (from 185-187) was from that half a cup of icecream sunday night. Stress, especially extreme amounts, will make you retain water and such. So, like Joni said, it'll be gone in no time.

Hope you get things straightened out with the court thing.
 
thank you guys! tx, I had not heard that about weight gain with stress, but my weight gain coincided (spelling?) with the stress. Hmmmm. That gives me some hope. Thank you. I just figure that things aren't rosey all the time! Thank you for for the kind comments everybody!
 
Howdy, Mish,
Sorry to hear about your plateau and the italian
food(my weekness)I haven't had pizza in a while.My hubby did the same
thing lastnight asked me if I wanted wendys have a cheatnight it took everything I had to say no and hopped in the shower and chewed gum lol!
I have been 190's since OCT thats my fault for having those bad days I get to like 188 then if I have a bad day I am back to 191 -192 :rolleyes: so I need to have less cheat days and work a lil harder I so want to be healthy and sexy this summer I would do anything!

SOrry abiut the parent situation it will get better for ya girl,
stay strong and don't give up Have a nice day,Tammy:)
 
The calm

I have come up with a proposal for the ex so he can avoid license suspension and jail time. I will present it to him tommorow or Monday. It involves me taking full custody of my son which is something I would like.
So I am starting to calm down- I like a plan being there even if we aren't acting on it yet. It calms my nerves.
And stress does do evil things to you. I remember my mom got so stressed out once she lost all her hair on the back of her head. To this day that spot is pretty bare:( My poor mom. And I don't want to follow in her footsteps.
I have been afraid to step on the scale because I don't want to be disapointed. Today, however, is a weigh day and I had to do it. Not too bad: 186. Yeserday I had a little over 1300 calories and I am back in control. I am feeling a bit better but worried about the "calm before the storm". I need to relax.
I also need to do some exercise soon. I just need to get into the habit and I know my weight would move again. If it was warmer I would go for more walks but it is in the teens most nights and my feet haven't thawed in 3 days!
So things are moving. I am looking more towards the long term goal of being at my goal weight: 145, by next year. It is the lowest I will have weighed since high school or maybe even before! I am focusing on that and hoping all this will pass soon.
Thank you all for the support. I feel like a whiner and I hate feeling that way but when I hit low point I really hit them! Glad you all put up with it long enough to comment;) he he he
Hope you have a great Friday and I will hopfully get time to comment on your diary's this weekend:eek:
 
I know what you mean.

Little things keep coming at us. My husband's aunt has offered for us to move into her old farmhouse when she moves out in the spring. The whole deal would be great, but there are all kinds of details to hash out. The place needs tons of work. We'd hate to foot the bill and then not really own the house.

And my husband has been interviewing for jobs. He has one that pays decent but we'd really like something that would cover my part time income too.

So, to make a long story short! Yes, stress can be very distracting. The good thing is you haven't lost sight of your goal. You haven't pitched in the towel or said "Tomorrow, I will start".

And certainly, you are not whining. . not anymore than the rest of us. Your posts have really given me some encouragement and we are happy to do the same.

Have a good weekend!
 
Howdy Mish,
I hear ya with the cold weather at night
thats about what the temp has been around here also!
I try to walk before hubby goes to work but today I napped
so I did 40 mins indoor exerscies.Your doing a gr8 job Have
a nice weekend,Tammy:)
 
Damn calories! Damn sickness!

So I have the flu or something. I feel terrible and it sucks because I really wanted to get into the exercise this week to shake up my weight loss. I have been stalled for a week now. I am still eating ok. I have been wanting some gatorade or something to keep me hydrated while I am sick but it has so many calories! So today I am going to stop by the store and pick up some crystal light or something that is no cal but may hydrate me better than water. On Saturday I had a major water day. I drank like 6 16oz bottles! I was also more relaxed on my diet this weekend. I even had some M&M's at the movies on Saturday night. I just ate half of the bag though and it was only like 210 calories. It is amazing how much that adds up. So at work for one more hour then can go home and sleep. I hate feeling this way and my throat is killing me. I am hoping to get better and back on track soon. Calories haven't gone over 1500 so still doing ok but when I am sick I just want some comfort food! sigh Hope you are all doing well.
 
The Blah's

Still under the weather but hoping things pick up soon. I haven't had a lot of time to surf around here and I swear if you miss a day you are so behind on these super posters! There is like 10 posts every hour;) he he he. At least I can try to keep up with mine! So my weight is still hovering. It is frusturating but also it is reasonable as I am not doing anything besides diet now. I am full of excses and they are bothering me but it is so hard to get my butt in gear. I don't want to wear myself to a frazzle and then just give up in a month or two or three:p . So I am at a plateau and just coasting along right now. As long as I don't gain right? It would be nice to hit my February 1st goal. It is only 5 lbs away but the motivation is just not there. I was reading in one of my challenges and this girl just up and quit! I don't know what her reasons were but it astonished me! Quit?? how could you quit something like this? something that is "good" for you? Something you struggle so hard for and that is something you stress about and want so badly? It was an amazing concept to me that she could just quit. I am sure she had good reason but I would be so upset to quit. This forum keeps me going like that.
My obsession with food has been relaxing a bit and I am starting to add some cheating things in... like chips and salsa. Yummy! Salsa is wonderful for low cal but chips... alas:( are not. They are so tasty and I have been rationing myself but it is so hard. I just want to dig in and chow down. I haven been keeping my calories between 1,400 and 1,600 and it has been going ok. Like I said my weight isn't moving and is hovering between 185-187. I am looking forward to giving it that extra push with exercise. Where are you motivation!!!!
 
Hi Mishi,
Glad to hear you're recovering!

Never worry about trying to catch up around here - it can be a zoon! Just pop in where and when you can!
 
Health on the Horizon!

I am finally feeling better today. I rested yesterday. My son has been sick too:( So we are both recouping together. Tonight is a girls night that was planned a week or so ago. I was thinking I wouldn't be able to go but it turns out that I am feeling ok. I am going to try hard not to over do it so I don't relapse but I am looking forward to it too much to cancel:) Today was a weigh in for a challenge. I am getting better and better about not weighing myself everyday and I think it is because I am not losing right now. I am disapointed when I get to the scale so there is less reason for me to get to it more often. But today was good news as I was on the low side of my teeter totter: 185.:) I have been struggling with relaxing on my diet and not being too relaxed. My calories threatened to go up and I was good about keeping them under 1,600 but I am trying to keep them closer to 1,400 and also trying to not think so hard about what I eat. It is a hard thing to balance and so far I have been semi-successful. On my way to making this just a normal habit for the day! Bought a DVD for exercise. I am wondering if I will use it. I have the tae-bo series and a jane fonda video but I haven't used them in so many years. The new one looks interesting but since I have been under the weather I am taking it a bit easy. Maybe I will just watch today to see what I am in for. :D
 
Howdy Mish,
Wow glad your feeling better!! I have had this runny nose head exploding feeling since Saturday.It's getting a tad better.My son (my lil guy) he is all froggy and very congested when he breaths in he is only 9 1/2 months so this worries me beczuse they can't say Hey my throat hurts my tummy hurts ect he just cries his temp was 100.5 so I caught it before it got real outta control.
Well girl the plateau should pass soon your calories are awesome and exersices so just hang in there your doing awesome!I was in the 190's since Oct this is the 1st month I have managed to stay in 180's.Have a nice day and goodluck with the Feb 1st challange,Tammy
