Mishi's adventures!

weight is still wierd

The scale is still at 162.2. It has been 4 days at that weight. I am not sure if it is a stall because everytime I think that it moves eventually. If it is a stall I am worried I won't be able to pull out of it without drastic action. So I will keep on what I am doing and see what it is next Friday before I freak out. I am so hoping to get into the 150's by the end of May. I have given myself lots of time but if I stall and then gain with weightlifting then I feel I may not get down. This is the lowest weight I have been and when I was in college I was working out all the time and eating more than I am now but still I never got below 164. I am worried about that now. As I have gotten closer the 145 goal seems like a reality and it would just suck to not be able to get to it... through my own laziness of course but still... So I am getting nervous for that and for what I will do when I maintain. I don't know how to do that! Sigh. Just can't wait for school to be over. This stress is terrible and I am also having to pack everything up to move to a school that doesn't even have a building yet. Just so much to do and only 4 weeks to do it in!!! sigh
Last night I did well. I had 1468 calories and was on the treadmill for 25 minutes and on the eliptical for 20. I did a program on the eliptical called "cross country" and it kicked my booty!! I burned about 400 calories yesterday which was nice:) Felt weak after my workout and I had only had 645 cals so far that day so I figured I was running low. No gym today and going tommorow for my first weight class:D
 
Good afternoon Mish,
I wouldn't worry about it because look at your progress,
also I am telling you 1 day it says a # and then a couple days later down
2 lbs I am going to be amazed this weigh in I peaked this morning and it is
going to be a GOOD 1 finally,I guess hard work and disapline does pay off!
Same with you,your doing everything right just it may not show up on a daily
basis so maybe wait until your official weigh in to check it out?
Ok do share what is "CROSS COUNTRY" on the eliptical?
I have an eliptical in my bedroom I just get bored on it and rather bike,but I am sure the eliptical kicks way more butt than a stationary bike?
Well you have a nice day and don't freak out it will drop!!!
TAMMY:D
 
The cross country program was under the programs and I could set my weight, my time and go and it would switch up my resistance and incline as I ran. It would go really high for a few minutes and then there would be rest periods and then it would tell me to pedal backwards... it really kicked my butt. I was so sweaty lol!! I can't wait to see what your weigh in is tommorow!!!! I looked at my last week's weight and I am down 3 lbs so I shouldn't be too crazy about it. It is just weird that I am the same weight when I used to bounce around so much. Maybe that is just the way it is as I get to lower weights or maybe my body has adapted to what I am doing?
And for me the bike kicks my butt too. I am so not comfortable on a stationary bike. I think the eliptical is more effective but I am not sure. Either way they are both good!
 
Thank you Mish for the info lol I tried peddaling backwards
for a few secs 1 time geeesh I felt so handicapped? I may
try it again tho I know it does wonders for your legs and booty!
My bike has the big cushioned seat and it sits low with the peddlals
way out in front of you very comfy actually to comfy thats why I
assumed it wasn't nearly effective as the eliptical. Tammy
 
You are stressed Mishi, with school and the move. Don't be hard on yourself. You stayed within caloric range and exercised last night despite that stress...that choice says a lot about YOU and your prognosis for success. Don't be scared you won't get to 145 or that you won't maintain...it's not a matter of whether you will succeed. You ARE succeeding. I like to hearken to Steve's slogan the Journey not the Destination. You are doing GREAT, believe it.
 
Howdy Mish
I think Anna said that well,your doing great
and you really haven't had any major plateaus and your getting there
you are so close looky how close 145 is to you than me lol :rolleyes: .
Anyhoot I wanted to wish ya a wonderful weekend,Tammy
 
Good Morning Mishi,
I had to come by and tell you how much I like your new avatar!! You my dear, are absolutley adorable!!

But then, I knew that :D
 
Tgif!!!

Oh god I am so glad it is Friday. I can relax for two days and besides a night out with my friends and b/f I have the weekend free:) Just have to figure out where I can dig a hole to fire some pottery in:D did I mention I am an art teacher:D lol. So I am being a bit pissy this morning and I know I have no reason. I have lost 2 lbs from last Friday but I was at 162 all week then when I got to the weigh day today and I was really hoping for a 161 but no it was 163. grrrr. I was very good and students brought me chocolate cake, chocolate raspberry cake (yes two kinds), small quiches, a pecan bar, and strawberries and whipped cream. because this morning was a weigh day I did very well and packed it all up for a treat today. With the scale this morning I have decided to have a bite or two but I am going to give most of it to some students. I am proud that the frusturation isn't making me what to say "f" it and scarf down the plates. So I am doing well and I know this but the pissyness lingers. However it will all be washed away tonight:D I am going to go to the weight lifting class with my friend and I am nervous and excited. Nervous because I remember it kicking my butt back when I was doing girly pushups and situps everymorning. I haven't been doing anything recently so I am wondering how I am going to do:) Also I am going out for sushi and I am going to eat moderatly unstead of crazy like I usually do with sushi:) I am so excited! and tonight my mom is watching my son so I get some free time with my boyfriend:) yay!!!
And Deb, Tammy and Anna- y'all are so sweet and wonderful! Your comments lift my mood and make me smile. thank you!!
And this is a journey.... just get impatient sometimes:rolleyes: ok well all the time lol.
 
3 weeks left

So this weekend was wonderful! We didn't schedule anything except for Friday and had a wonderful time spent together the whole weekend:) Loved it. My calories were over on Friday by a lot and my weight was up to 164 on Saturday so I worked hard to eat less on Saturday and Sunday to balance everything out. It worked out really well and I am ready to start strong this week. My weight lifting class kicked my butt on Friday and my legs are still sore from all those squats!! It's amazing and I am seeing some definition after only one class. So I will be going every Friday and I am excited. Weight today is 163. Just about to dig into lunch: a cup of yogurt and a turkey sandwich with swiss:) yum Salmon tonight too with cranberries, oranges, and walnuts:) I am very excited. I am going to try to grill it which i have never done before. I love cooking fish though so I have high hopes:)
 
Hi Mishi, I'm so glad you had some "me" time with the bf this weekend. You really deserved it. I love fish too. Have you ever tried pineapple and salsa over fish? Wow, it's yummy.
 
Oh dear

Today is not a good day. My son woke up at 3am and threw up all over his bed and all the way to the bathroom. Poor thing. He is still sick this morning and can't even keep water down:( So of course I am home from school today and calling in some favors so that my pay doesn't get docked. It is so hard to miss school during the last weeks. Today is one of my seniors last days and I may not be able to be there to see him off:( But my son of course comes first and I need to figure out what can keep him hydrated. I am not sure if I can get to the store this morning:(
Food-wise I am disappointed with myself. I did so good on Saturday and Sunday to balance my high day on Friday and most of last week but yesterday I came home and inhaled so much food. We bought these freshly baked rolls from the store and they are huge rolls and I ate 2 at a whopping 715 calories!!! Plus I ate sushi (415 cals) and a whole bunch of other things and ended up with 1977 cals for the day plus no workout because I wasn't feeling good. Sigh. So of course the scale was up to 165 today. I know the one day doesn't hurt me but it has been more than one day and I am really upset about slipping. It has been hard to hold my resolve together recently and after months of doing well with that I am not sure how to cope. I will be back on track today and even though I am home I am going to try to do a workout video or maybe a quick walk around the complex. Cleaning will also burn some calories and is desperately needed in my house!!! I have dust bunnies in the bathroom:rolleyes: !! lol
 
Howdy Mish,
Wow I hope your little guy gets to feeling better,mine is still
under the weather to with his ear infection and pink eye lol I feel like I am
torturing him I have to put drops in his ears then drops in his eyes then 1 teaspoon of antibiotic geeesh.
Well I had a bad day or days Fri-Mon i pigged out,yersterday I started out healthy then crashed and ate bad stuff.BUT to day is a new day and back on track again we can do it.Your ticker has gone down so far just looking at that 162 I would kill to see that so I am pulling a double today I already walked the floodwall 3 miles in 40 minutes planning on working out later as well.Have a nice day Tammy
 
That bread was callin' my name!!

So I was sort of on track yesterday and I looked at one of the last two of those yummy rolls we had bought and I had to devour it!! Damn rolls. The good news is the rolls are gone lol. I was such a slacker yesterday and I was so disappointed in myself!! Here it was 7pm and I hadn't done anything that resembled exercise!!! However my b/f made a coffee date with his friend which gave me and hour and I did my video:) Wasn't the hardest workout but it was 45 minutes of jumping around and I was sweaty by the end:) So I am pretty proud of myself. I know its a small accomplishment but it really made the difference in my mood! So my weight has been bouncing around and I am feeling fat... I am thinking TOM is coming for a visit... always around the most stressful part of the year. There is only 2.5 weeks left of school. I can hear the angels singing!! I am so excited to be done and I have big fitness plans for summer which include a water aerobics class in the mornings:)
I was reevaluating my diet yesterday and asked Steve for help in figuring out if I was eating right. I always say that my goal calories are 1200. Usually I am over by a few hundred and 1200 seems so low anyway. I don't want to eat like that forever! Apparently I am on the right track so I feel like relaxing with my food a bit. Just a little bit and won't be eating bad things but I want to not stress over every morsel that goes in my mouth and if I don't hit that 1200 mark I don't want to stress it. I want to get to the point where I can have 2000 calories a day and saftly maintain my weight (when I get to my goal of course:) ) My son is better today. He is really tired and worn out which is wierd because he was laying down all day but he is definatly on the mend:)
Nia- poor kid!! I hate putting drops in my son's eyes... he hates it more than I do;) Sounds like you had an excellent day yesterday and your ticker has gone down a lot recently!! Just hold steady and you will see those 10lbs gone in no time!!!

So here's a joke for y'all. It's a bit graphic and I got it from one of my students but it cracked me up:
Procrastination is just like masturbation, they are both great for awhile until you realize your just f**king yourself... words to live by lol.;)
Hope you all have a great day!!!
 
Howdy Mish,
HAHA that was cuite!! I get some graphic funnies that a friend emails me all the time,I love funnies.Yay for the rolls being gone and Yay for my son's b-day cake being gone as well :rolleyes: ,I did so good again yesterday until 7 PM I fixed a cheese quesadilla and 1 piece of b-day cake BAD again but the quesadilla shells are gone and the cake to so I won't be tempted no more.
I hear ya about not wanting to eat l;ike that forever I want to get to the point where I don't have to count calories I can just eat and know when I have had enough and also I would like to enjoy some good foods occationally and know with the exersices I do I won't gain it back but maintain my weight.Thats my goal!
Your doing great Mish I still can't belive when I see your ticker how far you have come and that helps me stay on track.I know you have got to feel good being in the lower 160's I would love that for now.I love swimming so I am planning to lose some more when my sis N law openes her pool up when they get back from Floriday In June.It is an above ground OVAL shaped but what we do is jog around it several times and use the spaghetti looking floaty things for arm exersice and we usually lose weight that way and you don't overheat either!
Well I hope you get the answers you need from Steve,he helped me out to I have to basically lose weight before working on certain areas that need help lol.Have a nice day Tammy
PS I HOPE YOUR LIL 1 FEELS BETTER.
 
Mishi!

Glad you're doing better. Trust me, I know how frustrating it is to see your resolve slip when you've been doing so great for so long. It will come back, trust me!

Hooray for summer plans! Good luck on your last couple of weeks.
 
Here Is A Funny For Ya

Butt Measurement...

A man and his wife were working in their garden one day and the man looks over at his wife and says, "Your butt is getting really
big, I mean really big. I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue grill." With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the
grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife's bottom.

"Yes, I was right; your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue grill!!!"

The woman chose to ignore her husband. Later that night in bed, the husband is feeling frisky. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off. "What's wrong?" he asks. She answers, "Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little weenie
 
OMG yesterday was friggen' awsome!!

How weird: I see there is new smilies to use:jump: He he he. So yesterday I was perfect with my food. I didn't even put the last several in until later and I was 1368 calories. Just perfect!! For my workout I finally got my lazy booty to the gym and I did so well!!!! First I warmed up on the treadmill and then did some interval training. Looked like this: walking 3.5 for 3 minutes at a 6% incline, running for 2 minutes with 0% incline and at 5, then for 1 minute running at a 7 or a 9 (almost killed myself at the 9!) and then back to the beginning. I did this for 20 minutes and then switched to the eliptical to do the same thing. I love interval because it burns so many calories and conditions your body better. At the end of 45 minutes I had burned around 450 calories!! I am so proud of myself:D :beating: So this morning when I jumped on the scale it was at 161.6!!! I am so changing my ticker. The scale actually hit 160 on Sunday but until it's there a bit more consistantly I won't be changing my ticker. I will need a new ticker soon and I am just through the roof:) All the grumpiness and the cravings and weight gain were all TOM related. Glad that is going back down. I notice I always stress a lot right around that time but I never realize it's that time until the period actually hits me. Makes me crazy!!
Thank you Ashley and Nia for your encouragement!!:hug2: I am feeling better. Just have to keep the course!! I am liking these new smilies :beerchug:
