Mishi's adventures!

i'm sorry to hear that yesterday was so bad. I have nightmares sometimes too. But they are mostly about people dying, and me having to go back in time and stop it from happening. weird or what?

I just got a chance to look at your pictures. I think you are so pretty.
 
Better day

Thank you guys for you good thoughts. bomo that is wierd!! lol I went home an hour early and took a nap... got woken up but still got a good 1.5 hour nap. I felt so much better after!! here Bomo I tell you to take it easy and I am wearing myself to a frazzle!
thank god I got some rest. I was feeling majorly like I would snap at any moment and I had weird irrational moments where I would get really mad for no reason. I am a very bad person to be around if I haven't slept. I think I am closer to homicide at those times more than any other. So I took it easy yesterday and stayed away from WoW and tried to go to bed earlier. Today I had to be up at 5 and be at work at 6 to set up for the Fine Arts Assembly which we do every year to showcase the Fine Arts Department. It is a big production and is known for SNAFU's but this year went off without a hitch! It was amazing!
So it is Friday and I am feeling much better and my weigh in was a good one. At first the scale said 173 but being in disbelief I moved it to my normal weigh spot and then did it again: 171.6! So I am down two pounds for the week. March is a good month with 4 lbs lost so far and one more until my goal! If I could get down to 169 by the surgery I will be really happy. I am not sure how the surgery will slow me down but I am expecting a gain and so I don't get frusturated I am going to prepare myself to be up in the 180's post surgery... I am not sure what I will actually gain but if I aim high I figure I won't be too depressed when I see the numbers... who knows... maybe I will lose a little. They are giving me a new belly button;) Too bad they can't take the belly with it right?? lol
Hope you all have a great weekend. We have scheduled some time for family tonight and are going to buy a board game tonight.
So I am not sure if I told y'all about the guy I am dating... maybe I have but it is worth repeating. After many a bad relationship and a failed marriage I have been through the gammit of boyfriends and somehow fate brought me to this guy: Paul. I love him so much and he has been so good for me and Armando. He is the epitomy of responsibility, kindness, support, love and sweetness. I can not sing his praises enough. Our one year anniversary was Feb. 23 and everyday I am happier and happier. Now people, I want to marry this guy and he seems to feel the same about me. I am hoping to announce an engagment this year and nothing would make me happier!!!!! With him I feel capapble of everything and he is so supportive. My recent weighloss and my new job and the good things that are happening in my life right now I attribute to being with him and him being the great guy he is. He is my stable platform I can jump off and do ANYTHING! He is the first boyfriend I have actually been able to lose weight with because there is no pressure to eat bad foods. He is happy that I even cook for him and likes whatever so that I can stay on track. Just to let you all know I am in love:) I am excited for what this will bring!!
 
Nothing like being in love, that's for sure. I ought to know, I've been in love with my wife for 33 years now!

Wow, 4 lbs. in March so far -- I would think I'd died and gone to heaven with results like that. You ought to be very proud of your achievement.

Sometimes, when you get your life back on track, you just seem to meet the right person, almost as if by magic. karma, I guess.
 
Your right Tomo.. everything just seems to fall into place:) and thank you. I am very proud. It has been hard work! but this is something I have never done before and I am determined to be a success!!!
 
7 days to go

As always I am ebbing through different levels of stress today. Next Monday is when my surgery is scheduled and the nervousness that I knew would come is starting... Also in my week before TOM I am sad to see the scale move up... 172.8 today... I only have until Friday to make my March goal and I would be so excited if the scale was at 170 at least just once! My calories this weekend were always right around 1200 which I was very proud of because I went to a party on Saturday night with lots of snacky food and drinks. I stuck to my 3 glasses of wine and I stopped eating when I felt full .... even though there was ribs calling my name i only had 3 bites and then key lime pie and coconut cake for dessert... of which I had both but tiny servings and I didn't even eat the whole slice of key lime. Even with all that I still was around 1200! It was a great weekend. Today I was going to exercise with my friend but I just realized last night the day is full of doctors appt's starting right after work. So I am not going to be able to meet her. sigh. I am hoping I will be able to get out for at least a walk today. I will try to move around a lot at work too. This week will be a busy week of getting things ready and cleaned so I won't have anything to worry about next week....
 
Mish,
Howdy girl your doing so well I wouldn't worry over the less than a lb gain it's problally water weight and that will disapear soon.I had a Sunday party and stayed away from those eveil deserts and there was Bar B que and pizza!What is the surgery you are going in for?I am sure everything will go great it's normal to get the gitters right before.Have a nice day and congrats on your progress so far you are kicking butt,Tammy
 
P M S- pissy mishi sucks! :p

sigh so yesterday was a gammit of doctor's apointments including the pre-op visit. It was terrible. I feel like I am falling apart and am in pain after being poked and prodded yesterday:( I am bloated and my weight is up (174) even though my calories have been right on and I am still making an effort to move around. Just miserable today:( I have been crying since yesterday and the pms mixed with the nervousness of my surgery and the new illness's they have discoverd is making me crazy!!! I guess the only good thing is I won't be PMS'ing during the week of my surgery... the bright side.
Calories were good yesterday. Had to struggle to get to 1,000 and I was very low fat and high protein which doesn't happen very often:)
M2M- thank you:) I will keep you guys posted.
Llama- glad you are excited again:) welcome back in a different way:D
Nia- you did great at your party!! I am very impressed! I am having surgery to repair a umbelical hernia... and they are going to take the skin out from my old piercing and give me a new belly button... very strange... too bad they couldn't take the belly too:p
hope you all are having a great week. Next week is spring break and that will be so nice. Even if I am recovering!
 
Mishi - you take it easy and take care of yourself right now. This is a stressful time and you don't need to be so focused on weight. It's the downward, long term progression we need to focus on not the day to day struggles and certainly not with all else you have on your plate!

Hugs to you,
 
You are right of course M2M but it is so hard when you have a goal coming up and I was within a pound! It's hard to have forward momentum and making the mental switch to be ok with a setback... even if it isn't your fault is always hard. trying to keep my head up!
 
Woooohooo Wondewoman,look at that ticker 2 lbs away
from the 160's that is awesome work Mish!!! Hope you have
a wonderful day Tammy
 
Hey Mishi-

I'm new to your thread. Just wanted to wish you good luck with your surgery and lend a small piece of advice. Do not weigh yourself too soon after surgery. They tend to pump you full of saline before, during, and after surgery...which leads to at least a few days of water retention. Resist the scale if you can!

Chin up

It is hard being so moody and b#$@hy. I hate the PMS moodiness. I am feeling really snacky and it is harder not to give in to cravings. This morning I was supposed to be at the hospital at 6:30am for x-rays and it was early and I wasn't thinking and had a bowl of cereal. Well I wasn't supposed to eat! So I have to reschedule and do it again tommorow! sigh. The scale went down again today to 172.8 which helps too.
So I am trying to prepare as much as I can for next week. I want to clean the house and make sure all the laundry is done so that I won't have anything to worry about. lol I realized yesterday all I have is my size 14 jeans and that after surgery the will be tight so I will need to invest in some elastic pants!! I threw all my big cloths away not thinking I would ever need them..he he he
Gwal- so I know what you say is the truth but honestly it's like a science experiement... I want to see what I weigh the day after:rolleyes: . I am crazy I know;)
Thank you all for your support!

alot! Tammy:)
 
ding dong the *itch is dead!! ;)

So today finally I am feeling better and not like I am going to snap at any second and take someone out! Weight is going back down and is back to 171.. I am still hoping for 170 before Monday so I have my fingers crossed. My surgery is scheduled for 10:30 on Monday which is really nice.. not to late and not to early. I am still a little nervous but the xrays yesterday calmed me down a little bit. It helps not to think about it too. So I am going to enjoy my weekend! Tonight is me and my bf's 1 year and 1 month anniversary:p so I am thinking of getting a babysitter and having a night to ourselves. Food wise I have been really good. My mom's birthday was Wednesday and she wanted to go Santa Fe and eat at this really nice Italian resturant! Yikes Italian! There was a salad on the menu and I should have been good but I ordered the chicken with the melted cheese on top with a wine sauce:p OMG sooo good but I did well. I shared 1/2 with my little one and I ended up packing up the rest. For dessert with the 3 bite rule in my head, I ordered an apple tart pastry thing with whipped cream. I tried to take 3 bites but it was so good and I ended up with 4 bites lol. So maybe I will call it the 4 bite rule;) So the calories for the day were up to like 1450. not too bad if I do say so myself. Yesterday's calories were only like 900 so I made up a bit for the 1450. It all evens out. I am going to be good this weekend but after the surgery I am going to treat myself to something big and ice creamy;) lol
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I will measure and weigh myself right before surgery to get my 1st quarter totals and post them. Then everything is out the window for at least a few weeks!
Nia- I am totally going to ask the doctor if he can tuck my tummy a bit... you never know! lol have a great weekend!
 
I hope everything goes well! You be sure to let us know!

I'm still buring with jealousy over your numbers <grin> Maybe your week of recovery will give me a chance to start to catch up!
 
Last post before surgery

So I made my goal today:) 170! I was very glad to see it and am starting to relax. I want to be rested and in top shape for Monday. I even let go last night and ate almost a whole banana fosters cheesecake dessert from Bennigen's!:eek: which is something I have been very good about. If I go over my calories it is usually something with sushi... or alcohol. but I let go a little. It didn't hurt me too bad because the weight still went down this morning! I haven't added in those calories yet. Just feel like I am getting ready for hibernation or something... Thank god it is spring break and I don't have to worry about work for a week!
You all have a great weekend and I will let you know how things went as soon as I get to feeling a bit better:)
Ashley- thank you for the well wishes and don't worry.. after Monday you are going to kick my booty;) ... I am looking forward to catching up with you again:p I am so proud of you anyway:)
 
Mish,
I am so proud of you and congrats on meeting your 1st goal!
My prayers are with ya and everything will be fine,Hurry back and have a good SundAY Tammy:)
