Have a nice day Tammy:rotflmao:
 
Like a rubber ball folks

So last night was the annual Black Student Union dinner with my students (I am the sponsor for that club). We went out for sushi and I had all the good intentions to be good and only eat a bit because I do go off on sushi... however my boyfriend (yes I will blame it all on him!!! Gunpoint I tell you!!!:rolleyes: ) ordered our combo which is a huge amount of sushi to begin with and then I had to have this other roll (rolls are 8 pieces) and two pieces of tobiko that has been soaked in wasabi for weeks. OMG sooo good and I ate it all!! I was so full! So of course the scale was up today... 164:( I know it shouldn't be up 3lbs in one day so I am assuming it is another TOM related fluctuation. It puts a damper on my mood only because it's a weigh day and I haven't posted a gain in a long time...I even thought about weighing tommorow instead and posting that but honesty right?? lol So I will get over it. I had fun last night and y'all know I love me some sushi:D I won't be going to my class tonight. As much as I want to this weekend is jam packed with crap to do. Mothers day is sort of depressing because it is all about what our moms and stepmoms are doing and it's part of my day too... but everything is scheduled around them and we have gifts and all that for them and there has been a lot of worry and scheduling issues and it bothers me a little bit. I am hoping there will be a minute or two for some quiet for me. I feel whiny but dammit it's my day too!!! Just got grades done for my seniors. They are no longer in school which is sad but nice at the same time. Now to focus on the rest of them and get them finished up. So much to do so little time. I will be a big ol' bucket of super stress for the next 2 weeks!! However their art projects are coming out great. I will have to post pics of some of the tables my ceramics is doing. It is my favorite project where they design and build their own tiles from scratch, they build and paint a table and I teach them how to grout their tiles onto their tables and they have their own to take home. They are really nice and some kids took the tables home to build and they are beautiful!!! I will post pics:D
Welcome back MJB!!! It's been awhile but I am glad to see you!!
Llama- thank you:) feeling not as good today with sleep deprivation but we all have our good and bad days:)
Nia- The 150's seem so out of reach. I have been bouncing around the low 60's for 2 weeks!! I am determined to do it by the end of the month though!!!! lol
HOpe you all have a great weekend and for all you wonderful mothers: Happy mothers day!!! I hope you all get your slice of sanity this weekend!!:hug2: :beating:
 
Oh Mishi - don't even worry about the fluctuation - that will pass quickly!!

It sounds like such a hectic time! And YES Mother's Day is YOUR day too - so make sure you take time to enjoy it :D

I look forward to seeing the ceramics pictures - they sound fantastic!
 
Hi Mishi; you've been doing great, exercising even when you don't feel like it. The video and interval work at the gym. That's awesome. I too am looking forward to pictures of the kiddies' ceramic tile tables. Very posh art project!
My weigh-in day was less than impressive but it could be muscle and so what...in the long term we are going to kick _ss!
btw, I loved your joke about procrastination and masturbation...ha ha ha, I'll have a few people I'll want to tell that one to, including my boss.
Happy Mother's day!!!
 
Just a quick update

lol this weekend is crazy food-wise. Between birthday parties (thought I was safe but I was wrong!!!) and grad parties and then the mother's day snackfest tommorow it will be interesting. So far I am doing well and have stayed around 1600 calories per day. No exercise though yet... however me and my boyfriend went to Walmart to pick up some tennis racquets and we are going to play tommorow morning. Plus somehow I talked everyone into going to the zoo for mothers day:D so I am going to get some sneaky walking in there. Some neat news about that is there is a camel ride and my son has never been on it because I have always been over the weight limit of 175... It broke my heart to say no all the time but I didn't want to break the poor camel!! So I can take him on the ride tommorow and that will be so awsome!!!:beating: so again have a good one and I will do a longer post when I get some more time:)
 
Howdy Mish I t is 2 AM lol and I couldn't take any more painting lol!
I started at 4 pm and it was just me painting plus taking care of 4 kids
geeeesh never again! aNYWAY your eating looks better than mine have been:rolleyes: and have fun playing tennis tomorrw I always wanted to try that.Happy mother's day enjoy and I will post more sunday night! Tammy:)
 
more to follow

So yesterday being good with food just went out the window. After trying to make good choices all weekend I broke at breakfest and then again at dinner. I don't know what the damage is yet but I am suspecting around 3,000 cals at the highest?? I will have to put my food in and see. Some of me doesn't want to put my food in!!! However we did play tennis (or tried;) ) and we did go to the zoo so I am hoping that balances. The scale was up to 164 today but I am going to work hard this week and bring it down. It is sort of depressing I am over the weight I was at the beginning of the month. Eh my choices. I will post more and hopefully with pictures later:D
 
Getting in that extra exercise always helps! Walking is the best, and the zoo is usually a good place to put in some miles. Have a great week.
 
Tester pics

Alright guys I have pics but not sure how to get them on so I am going to play with this one. This is a project my art students worked on. It's Finding Nemo and I love what they do but this was the best of the best:)

Ok I am computer retarded

Nia I so want to put the pics in my diary like you do and I got it resized but it never comes up as a picture!! just code:( So I will just give you the codes. *sigh*
Ok so first few images are the tables my ceramics kids made. Each kid made tiles based on a design they came up with, then they built and painted a table, attached their tiles and grouted them. These are really cool this year!!

This is the crowning picture of me and my son on the camel at the zoo. I tell you guys I broke down crying after this. It is a really big thing that I have never been able to do this with my son because the weight limit was 175!
P1050315.jpg


This is me and my boyfriend at the zoo. He hates taking pics so I am glad to have this:)

Alright so that is all the pics. Ha ha. Just felt like sharing today. I am going to try to kick butt today but there is so much going on with graduation and the end of the year so if I can get to the gym I will count that as lucky. I would like to be able to get there today but I have to pick up so much stuff for the seniors and I have a dr's appt and I have to go shopping for veggies for dinner so if I don't get there I am giving myself a free pass for the next two weeks!! Food-wise I am going to stick to my guns for sure!!!! No more high days!!!
Thanks MJ and y'all have a great week too!!!

Howdy Mish,

Your students are so talented I love the tables and NEMO (which is my fave movie and monsters inc lol).I use photo bucket and after you resize to either message board size or email size then you right click and you see "save as" then you lable your picture then when you come here and hit manage attachments and browse then pull up the name you named your photo and hit upload i just did that with my paint job.

Sorry you had a bad day but it beats bad 8 days I had and I have been eating so uncontrolable.I feel I have a handle on things today tho.
Your still losing and thats good news,your so close to your goals.
Have a nice day Tammy:rotflmao:
 
busy busy and a sour note

So yesterday was interesting. I went to go visit a lady I used to student teach for. She took one look at me, looked me in the face and said, "You look different. I liked you the other way. There is something wrong with your face and you don't look healthy." I was taken aback. I am used to compliments and I usually turn to a tomatoe but I am not used to this. I kept thinking that it might be because I have some loose skin from losing the weight around my face, I have been tired and stressed the last few weeks, I haven't been taking my vitamens like I should be, I was under floruesent lighting and DAMMIT I DON'T LOOK SICK!!! She is someone I look up to and she has recently gained back a lot of weight back after losing around 150 lbs. Maybe she is bitter?? God it was terrible though. So I am feeling a bit neurotic today wondering if I am hurting myself somehow but my weight loss has been a solid 1.5-2lbs a week and I am not under 1200 calories and normally I am around 1400 a day. Sigh. But otherwise doing ok. Got to dress up today for the Honor's assembly to celebrate the senior achievements. I am wearing a black skirt, hoseiry (never wear the stuff and can't spell it lol), an asian inspired black shirt with white paisly type designs on it and it's tied up high on the waist, and my cutie, most comfortable high heel shoes... which have already been replaced with my sketchers. Yeah right... high heels at work!!! I would kill myself!! lol
So today going to have another good calorie day. I didn't get to the gym yesterday. With all the errands I was running I was going crazy and didn't get home until after 6. We ended up getting take-out because I was so late. I got a salad and a jr. frosty:) They are perfect and only 150 cals+ 90 cals for a few french fries dipped in said frosty:D so good. So tonight I want to cook a squash and zucchini, corn on the cob, and teriyaki chicken with maybe a salad if I am not vegged out. Of course I will be having some low cal ice cream:D lol. And I will try to go to the gym. I won't get to the gym tommorow, Thursday and most likly not Friday due to meetings and graduation and open studio in my classroom. Next week should be better but I am going 3+ days a week in two weeks and I want to keep that up for most of the summer! I can't wait to go swimming!!! Our pool opens on memorial day:) Hope you guys all have a good day!!!

Tune that nonsense from that lady out! You look fabulous! You know you're doing the right things for yourself, that you're being healthy, and that you are taking care of yourself! You should be so proud of your accomplishments and you should feel great. That person is so obviously coming from a not good place - don't let her bring you there too! You rock!
 
Graduation Day

So my seniors are graduating and today is a dress up day. I like dress up days because I don't get to do it that often but I hate them because I am an art teacher... espeically ceramics and my classroom is covered in art suppies and dust:p So I am sitting primly at my desk and hoping I don't get dirty when I have to mix grout for my ceramics kids lol. I am so tired. I didn't go to the gym. I went home and did 10 loads of laundry. I had lots of sheets and whatnot and I live upstairs and I carried all 10 loads up and down like 10 times. I folded and put everything away, did the dishes and managed to make dinner somewhere in there. I was good yesterday food-wise until I inhaled some lowfat ice cream... low fat ice cream is great unless you eat 4 bowls of it:doh: I was so craving that ice cream. It hurt my calories though and I was right under 2000. Oh well it was just one day and I will do well today:) My weight was at 162 so it's not that bad. I have the period that will never end.. . almost two weeks now and I am grumpy as hell because of stress and lack of sleep. Only a week and 1/2 left of school then I can dive into water aerobics lol and into my summer mode. I am excited to take some time for me and concentrate on working out to firm up this loose skin!!! It's so funny that I have ass wrinkles!!! he he he.
Slimmom thank you for your comment. I am moving on from that negative comment... and maybe using some more wrinkle cream;) Going to focus on what's good... like the fact I need to clean another round of clothes out of my closet because they are too big!! That's a nice feeling. The size 12 skirt I bought a few months ago is sagging around my hips:D yesterday I showed my boyfriend the before pic of me in jeans that I posted a few posts back and he asked if that was before I knew him.... I laughed and told him that was in Jan/Dec. It is amazing that I have been able to make that noticable of a difference in just 5 months!!! I am very happy where I am and I would like to get to 145 but I also want to move to not stressing so much about what I eat. I am pretty much at my second mini goal and am very excited. Last time I got to a mini goal I maintained for 2.5 years. I am hoping to do the same here. I NEED to get into a routine of exercise that I can maintain. At least 3 days a week!!!! I am such a slacker this week!! However I am going to ditch my meeting on Friday and go with my friend to the weight lifting cardio class:D Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!!
 
Howdy Mish,
Looks like you have a great plan!! I need a good solid
plan to stick to and 1 is going to be my walking and 2 is going to be my
swimming.They are finally building that GOLD'S GYM like 5 blocks from my house and I am praying they have a swimming pool!!
LOL @ ass wrinkles I have saggy skin everywhere myself and the insides of my thighs looks like BLAHHHHH....Keep up the hard ass work you do and 145 will be here before you know it,Tammy
 
(((Mishi))) you are beautiful. I love the pictures. The seahorse picture is exquisite. And the tables! Some of them look like they are professional done by adults, let alone kids! You are such a good teacher. The pic of the camel took me by surprise. LOL Adorable. And the pic of you with your husband is priceless. What a natural beauty you are.

Congrats on the graduation of your seniors! You should be so proud. I have the deepest respect for teachers. Both in my life and in the lives of my sons...they have had a great impact and I'll never forget them.

I too received a few negative comments a couple years ago when I lost 40 pounds. And I think it was jealousy, but I think the people did it at a subconscious level, not realizing how negative it was. You are beautiful and there is no way you look unwell.

Whoo hoo to saggy size 12 skirts!
 
Going Down!

For the second time I am down to 161.6 today. I am hoping to see a 160 or a 159 even. It would be wonderful to finally be down into the 150's! I saw a 160 a few weeks ago but won't change my ticker until it's here more consistantly... at least 2 days:D Then it will be time for a new summer themed ticker!!! I am excited. I was on it for food yesterday and tried to walk around campus while my student teacher was here to get in some exercise. Graduation was last night and I was able to keep it together and not cry... however in retrospect I should have just let go. I gave myself a headache trying to hold it all in:rolleyes: So my seniors are now off into the real world and going to live their lives and we sit back and hope we have given them the tools to succeed and be happy. Sort of like our own children. I am happy and a bit envious. I would love to be at the point again where you just feel invinciable and you have the world open before you!! What is that quote? "Youth is wasted on the young". I see the reasoning behind that as I get older. So I live vicarously through my students;)
So I am doing well eating and I think if I can' hold it together for a week I will be in the 150's.... that's a big IF though;)
Nia- that's awsome they are building a gym. I love the gym in that if you can get your butt in the door you are there to workout and there is usually nothing to take that focus away;) I can't wait to swim this summer. I am almost jumping out of my skin in anticipation of our pool opening!!!!
Anna- thank you for all the lovely comments. again I couldn't be prouder of my seniors. This year we had 57 seniors who had a GPA of 4.0 or better!!! Honestly in high school I never knew you could get above a 4.0 lol. :eek:
I am chalking the comment up to negativity because she told me she was in a very bad place right now. I am trying not to let it affect me:) I am doing well and I am proud of how I have done. I was wearing a skirt yesterday which used to be tight when I first bought it 8 years ago!!!! I haven't been this size since high school and honestly I don't think I have ever been this weight at this height!! I look at pics of me from highschool and college and I have never looked like this. I am so happy and can't imagine what i would look like at my goal... and maybe a little bit under!!!!:eek2: like a whole different person!!
*happy sigh*
I hope you all are doing well!!! It is Thursday (oops I wished someone a happy Wednesday!! lol they are going to think I am smoking crack!! lol) and there is only 2 more actual school days before the finals!!! then summer vacation here I come!!!!! wooooooooo hooooooooo!!!
