Mishi's adventures!

Good Friday

It's a great Friday!!! I am at 169 as of this morning:) I have been really careful with calories the last few days after I noticed I was getting several days of high numbers. It seems to be working. I even ate out last night and oredered a shrimp salad!! The dressing and stuff killed me but I ordered as much as I could on the side and added it myself. Still rounded out to 1288 calories for the day. It was a great day! Today I have off of work (I love being a teacher:) ) so I am going to take my son shopping. He keeps wearing holes in the knees of his pants and he had a recent growth spurt so all of them are rather high-water on him:rolleyes: . So it's off to shop. I am wanting to shop for me too but I have to wait until I heal... I can't wait to wear jeans again. The last 2 weeks has been in elastic sports pants from Target. They are awsomely comfortable and look pretty sporty but it's nice to dress in different things lol.
It's going to be a good weekend. I don't have huge eating plans for easter so I am not terribly worried about Sunday. We have to shopping for easter stuff tonight and maybe dying eggs depending on how long my mom will babysit... thank god for my mom btw;)
M2M- thank you I am feeling so much better. I feel almost back to normal and I didn't need a pain pill last night. That is a good sign to me:)
mickeytoni- thank you. It is getting much better:)
nia- thank you I did finally get rid of my headache. I think I am getting them from my sunglasses too tight!! crazy.
 
Margarita Ville

So Friday my boyfriend and I had some time to ourselves without the wee one... So we have a nice dinner and afterwards I feel like such a loser going home on our night of freedom, so I talk him into getting drinks with me at a resturant right down the street. Applebee's has the best margarita's ever and they are huge!!! I haven't had one in soooo long.. .and I had a really good doctor's appt! I can now lift up to 20lbs:) and they took the tape off my scar.. which scared the crap out of me:eek: and everything is looking perfect! So I was in the mood to celebrate. I hadn't had dinner and I had about 400 calories left for the day so I figured I would drink them :rolleyes: . I had two of the perfect margarita's and had a happy spinning time talking and relaxing with my boyfriend and we get home and I dutifully put my margarita's into fitday and WHAM!!! 840 calories!!! and that might still be a bit low!!! Mixed drinks are crazy!! I remember Kai on the last season of Biggest Loser and how her drinking had to stop and I didn't realize the full effect until now!!! Crazy! So my calories were right under 1600 for the day:( However this morning I was still safely at 169.4. So live and learn... Wine or Jack and diet's from now on!!!
Happy Easter all!
 
And just because I can here is a pic of me and the boyfriend from December:) A little outdated but the love is there lol!

 
Mishi I came in here to tell you how much I love the avatar with you and your little guy - and now I need to tell you how CUTE you and your boyfriend look together!! Great pictures - BOTH of them :D

And yes...jack definitely knocks the socks off of those mixed drinks ANY day...trust me ;)

Have a good Sunday, and I'm glad to hear you're mending nicely!
 
Normallicy Rocks!!

So yesterday I was over on my calories... how much over I have no idea right now but I am thinking right around 2,000 calories. I will update when I put it all into fitday. I had some computer connecting issues so I wasn't able to update yesterday! I am really hungry today:( but I am holding back. I am going to workout today for the first time since before the surgery today. I was going to take my doggie for a walk but it's raining! Weather man didn't predict this:mad: lol Weight today is at 168.2:) I am a daily weigher.. I am happier that way. Sure I obsess more but I also can keep close track of how my calories, TOM, stress, etc affects my weight on a daily basis. It is nice when I am losing and sucks when I am gaining and I am ok with that. It is nice to know:) Had a good weekend. 3 day weekends should happen more often:D Just realized my poor dog is on the balcony in the rain!! I am going to go real quick and let her in!!! poor thing!

Hi M:) trying the quote function... we'll see if I get it right lol. I think you started a trend of parent/child avatars:D and thank you me and my boyfriend have been so happy! He has recently had weight issues and gained back 50lbs he lost:( He has been struggling and my success (while he is supportive) has been hard for him. He doesn't do it like me and doesn't like talking about it which is hard because i am a talker! It is the only really rough part in our relationship but hopefully our wedding pic will show two fit people... in hawaii lol.
So the doggie is in and warm:)
I put all my food in from yesterday and damn was I off! 1550 for the day with 47% of that being fat:eek: not bad though considering that I was sure I was at least at 1800. Breakfest was huge and was around 800 calories. I tried to do better the rest of the day and apparently I did pretty good. I am glad. I was thinking on a normal day I would have easily eaten 5,000 calories. I hate watching what I eat so closly but there are 3 things that are keeping me going: 1) clothin options- there are so many things I want to try wearing! 2) if I can add exercise then I won't need to stay at 1200 cal's/day when I get to maintanace, 3) I won't be giving up all this hard work anytime soon-I am getting better at entering my foods and keeping track of what I eat. I am doing really well and I don't want to mess it up!!! I can't wait to join a challenge. My doctor said no ab work which is anything that affects the abs... which is like everything in the gym!!! So as soon as I can I want to do a challenge! Can't wait to start training for the marathon in January! Hope you all have a great Monday:)
 
Pleasant surprises

Yesterday I cooked a nice meal and jello dessert for me and my boyfriend for our child free night:) It was good and calorific!! lol However I only maxed out at 1500 calories. This morning the scale said 167.2 which makes me happy and pleasently surprised considering what I had yesterday. I feel like my body is changing... not sure in what way but I am feeling really good and even though my calories have been closer to 1500 recently as opposed to 1200 I am still losing. I did ok at the gym yesterday: walk/jogged for 30 minutes. I was really tired and it was hard and that is the only surgery related drawback. I will just have to build up again.
My friend is trying to get back in the game and is so frusturated with herself because she can't stop snacking. In her journal she was saying she was mad that I could eat ice cream every night. She is doing low carb dieting and I am starting to wonder if maybe she needs to switch things up a bit in her diet. However she mentions that she feels alone right now. She feels like there is no one who know how she feels with her diet, goals, and issues... It is an interesting thought. I feel alone sometimes too. This is something that is so personal and it is tailored to me and works for me and I haven't really met anyone else who is exactly where I am. It does make it a bit lonely but then again I am doing this for myself. I just wish she could get herself to a place where she is happy. She has had phenominal success and is currently 95lbs under her starting weight. She has done well but the last 30 pounds has been killing her. I feel like I should be doing something for her but I just don't know what to say. I know I am a motivating influence but I don't know what she is going through and I don't want to rub anything in!!
Things are amazing right now. I am feeling really good. It is warm here:) I am getting my son enrolled for his first year of kindergarden and just really getting things done. It is a good feeling:)

Oh precious, Mishi. I remember kindergarten for my sons and what a wonderful memory it is. The little darlings. You sound so much happier now you're through the worst with recuperation. Soon you'll be jogging 60 minutes with no problem. Thanks for sharing the sunshine!
 
Yikes!!!

So I don't know what is with me but I am having some sympathy cravings. My friend who is trying to get back on track blogs about not doing so great and I swear I am letting it sabatoge me a little bit. I have been worried all week about being over and then last night I take the family out to dinner and I HAD TO HAVE a apple pie a la mode dessert! Had to. I was on a rampage! I shared it with the table but I still ate the bulk. My cals were at 1900 for the first time since Feb.! And as we all should know from doing this if you increase your calories your weight will increase... so back up to 168.8 today:( I am not super upset. I knew what I was doing. I just need to resist temtation but sometimes it is very overwhelming!!! Especially when I have been doing well for so long. So my wiegh day is Friday and I will be going to the gym today and maybe tommorow and eating well so hopefully it should go back down. It's amazing how in balance your body can be so that you can see the direct effect of what you put into it!!
I am stil a happy shiny person these days though:D It got cold and windy here for some stupid reason and I am a bit bitter as I enjoy the warmer weather but we will just wait it out. Our desert highs will come soon enough and then when I am sweating it out in the summer I will think about spring and how I miss the mild weather;) lol
Hope you all are having a great day!!!
 
Hi Mishi,
Don't worry about that apple pie ala mode - seriously a day of going over (over in your mind, not necessarily truly over) is not going to jeapordize those 38 lost pounds!

And really think about it - if a pound is 3500 calories - and you consumed 1900 you really didn't GAIN actual weight. It's just part of the daily fluctuations.

You're doing fine :D
 
Hey there, I am a "newb". :)
First of all, you are doing a great job! You've made a great stride from your beginning weight to your current weight.
Don't feel too bad that you had a little fun.
Its good to be naughty every now and then, and it taught you to see a direct relationship between your calories and your weight. I think thats what a lot of people have a hard time with is seeing that relationship. :).
And you have also learned what it means to have the occasional sweet, which is also hard for people to learn. My past definition of an occasional sweet was every other day! I have a huge sweet tooth. So.. In spite of your "setback" you actually made some progress from my point of view.
:)
 
You're in the 160s!!!! I'm so jealous! :)

You're doing incredibly Mishi - and making it from Feb without a day over 1900 calories?!? Maybe that's why you're losing so much faster than I am - that is just incredible. You've done great.
 
Mish,
Good afternoon, first off you didn't do bad at all 1900
cals way to go,lol I did that in one sitting at CHEDDERS over the weekend!
Your doing really good,I do know abut the weather blues it was warm 1 week then cold now it is trying to warm into the 60's BUT LOTS OF NON STOP RAIN until Sunday BLAH..........! Hope you have a nice day Tammy
 
Howdy TOM

Well it's that time of month again... aparently. I am super grumpy and down on myself and the scale is going up. 169 this morning. Now that I am out of the 170's I want to stay that way!!!! Tommorow's the weigh in and I am hoping I at least stay the same if not lower. If it is back up to 170 I will cry:( I hate it when I am so grumpy. I keep trying to remind myself of happy things. One thing that hit me last night as I was looking over the page that I record my measurements on is that I am now the same size and 3 lbs away from the same weight I was when I graduated highschool!! That's cool but I don't feel that small. Back then I was uber confident and wore all kinds of different tight cloths. I have been wanting to pull up some old pics so I can compare. It's crazy! If I get down to my goal of 145 then I will be smaller than I was in high school and maybe middle school. I don't remember what I was in middle school. Weight was an obsession but it wasn't about the scale until highschool. Wierd.
Hope you all have a good day:)
 
Hey Mishi,
Don't let those daily fluctuations get you down.

You have made amazing progress! And you will continue to make amazing progress - it's just one day at a time!

I so hear you about those high school scale numbers...I know in the 8th grade, I wore a size 12. I don't remember how old we are in the 8th grade - but it boggles my mind that it's taken me all these years to get back to where I was then LOL!

Don't lose sight of your starting weight my dear - you have come a LONG way :)
 
Howdy MISH,
Well well well that mean OLE friend has visiting me as well and I hate that friends so much I feel like BLAH..... I am glad I am not the only one who gets the yucky bloating and cravings ect.I wouldn't let the scale getcha down,you know your doing good and the TEMP weight gain is only water and and will be gone just as quick as "IT" arrived.Hope you have a nice day well atleast try lol Tammy
 
Yikes I forgot to respond to y'all:
M2M- You would think that the high day wouldn't hurt me but I have gained 3 lbs over the last 2 days. I am hoping it is PMS but it's a week early so I am not sure:(
Ashy- Thank you and welcome to the forum! I am so super strict on myself and sometimes I am too hard when I "slip"... just part of the process:)
Llama- Thank you:) You will get here soon too:) Especially since I am going up and down so much!! It's crazy the fluctuations!
Nia- yeah I hate this cold weather!!!! It is windy and there is supposed to be snow this weekend!! It is terrible!!!!
 
Mishi, It's been happening to me too - even AFTER my cycle ended. Have you paid any attention to your sodium lately?
