Mishi's adventures!

I ate enough to fill T2's truck this past week, so Mish, let's you and me make Friday GO DAY for new beginnings, shall we? We are going to take this all the way.
 
A quick Sunday check in because of NEW LOW!!!

Hi guys! so omg omg omg omg omg:) I am officially at a new low today: 160.0!! I have offcially met my goal on my ticker!!!!!! I have been at 160 for two days I will offcially change my ticker today for the last 15lbs!! It has been an interesting weekend. Friday was crazy and I didn't really get on here at all except for once in the morning to report my weight for the weigh in. I got a lot done on Friday and though I couldn't move my classroom to the new school yet I have everything ready to go. A lot of kids came to help me and even signed up to help me move stuff to the new classroom when I am ready! I cried when I saw the list full of names. I am going to miss that school so much. So now it is summer and we went swimming yesterday to celebrate! I love the water! I am excited this week for the water aerobics classes I will be going to this week. It has been a haul. I feel calmer now and not so crazy. I started the new BC today so we will see where that gets me. It has been an emotional month and I am glad to be able to rest and start to recharge for next year.
Mal I hope you are having a wonderful weekend too!! I haven't been the only one stressing! Yay for the much needed break!!!
Thanks Tammy! I have been doing well off and on. Getting ready to focus next week. I joined the 2lbs/week challenge for June and am wanting to surpass it!!! It is on!!!!
Hi MJ! The bits kill me and I have the best blackberry jam in the fride which is scrumptous on toasted french bread:drooling: oh god... just thinking about it lol. I went overboard yesterday too but I have been more active too so hopefully it balances!
Anna I am right there with you! I am ready to kick the last of my weight off and try on a bikini this summer!!! So enough with this crazy eating and focus on the goal! WE can totally do it!
 
WooHOO on 160 girl - sometimes we need to crazy binge or eat badly and indulge lots and it worked in your benefit - you go girl !!!
 
Howdy Mish,
I am so proud of ya girl!!! 160 is awesome and that
will keep ya focused towards your new goal!!I am so proud on how

I own 3 pair bikinis and sort of fit into them last Christmas when I was in Mexico ... sort of. he he he You should go out and buy a bikini that's a little too small and then you'll have it to remind you that you'll fit into it soon. You deserve it after getting to 160. I've been with you through the 160s and despite a lot of stress at work, you DID it!!
 
Hi Mishi! I've seen you around the forum and thought I would stop by and say Good Morning! Hope you have a terrific week! :)

It's Go Time!!!

So today marks the first day of back on. I was at 160.8 this morning but yesterday I was at 159.6!!!! I am excited that tommorow or the next day I will be securly in the 150's if I can stop the excess calories in the evening. I am going to have to be careful because I am on break now from school and I have three months of almost pure laziness in front of me!!!:eek2: Laziness can lead to snacking! I need to keep myself occupied. So my plan is Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri I will be doing water aerobics in the am. Friday I am going to also be doing my weight training aerobics class in the pm. Weekends are off with family and most likely swimming:D The rest of the weeks I really want to get into a running routine in the morning. I just don't want to leave my son alone to long when I do it. He sleeps until pretty late but I always worry if I am gone he will wake up and get scared when I am not here. My boyfriend is here in the am until he goes to work so if I can get up early enough (6am) then I can go running. However that is hard because I like the morning time with him cuddling. So I will need to figure it out. I need to go out and get to running no matter what and going to the gym doesn't appeal as much when it is beautiful outside and I know the dog is dying for a walk!! That's what owning a chihuahua gets me. Damn hyper-active dog!!! lol
So I am focused and working out the kinks but I think my basic plan is good. I am also going to keep my calorie goal a bit up: previous goal: 1200, new goal: 1300-1600. I have been able to eat more and still lose and ultimatly I don't want to eat 1200 calories so while I am exercising I need to get my body back to eating "normally". If this doesn't work then I will cut it back down and see which place is right for me. What seems to be doing well right now is several low days 1200-1300 followed by some high days 1600-1700. I figure that is ok as long as it all balances out. We shall see. I am excited and even am thinking of making June's goal to get to my goal of 145! That would be 15lbs in a month... not sure if that is doable. 2lbs a week x 4 weeks is 8lbs. So lets aim to get to 150 and see if I can beat that! I am also wondering if I get to my goal (145) if maybe I should just keep going and get to what is ultimatly a healthy weight for me (135) I think?? I don't even know. I have never been here before. I am very excited. Water aerobics kicked my booty this morning. The lady on Tuesdays and Thursdays is great and really works you out!! The other ones are a bit more relaxed but if I run or do something else then it won't be too bad. Lots of toning in the water!
cinderelly- I am so glad you found your way to my diary! It is nice to hear from you! thank you for the support!
Tammy- Thank you as well for your support!! I look forward to your diary and your posts and they really help when I am feeling like nobody knows what I am going through!! I know you have worked so hard and you are so good at focusing when you get serious about what you want to do. I am expecting us all to be in a great place by the end of the summer!!! I look forward to doing this with you all:)
Anna- I did go and look at bikinis and tried a few one. This one black halter top looked great but when you get down past the boobs everything just looks squishy and yucky lol. I need to firm up that skin if I can hope to look decent in a bikini. I may go to the store this week and see what I can find! Maybe in a size 8 as that is really a good goal size for me:)
Speaking of sizes I went to the store yesterday (god if I don't stop spending money I will be in debt up to my eyeballs!!!) to look at shorts (bought picture frames too:rolleyes: ) and I was trying a variety of sizes and guess which size was the one that consistantly fit!!! Size 10. I am so happy to say that my big ass fits into a size 10 short:D I am very happy about that. It is a relief to be able to shop at "normal" stores now. I love Lane Bryant and I will miss shopping there but now I have the wide world of Macy's, Old Navy, and cutie cloths at Walmart and Target to pick through!! I am so happy as fitting into cute cloths was one of my main reasons for doing this!!!!
Ok so now and issue to make this post a bit longer;)
My boyfriend is overweight... by a lot and he has been understandably down about it. When we first met he had lost 50lbs and was on his way to getting back down to his high school weight but when we got together we got comfortable and we both started gaining weight. He gained back all 50lbs and I had gained about 15. In January I started this process and went gung ho with my diet, writting everything down and putting it into my computer, measuring myself, weighing myself everyday and posting it on a calender that is right next to the bathroom and I have had great success. The way he lost weight the first time is by going to the gym in the morning and then again in the evening. Now that is harder to do because he has us here and he wants to get home to the family after work. I totally understand as I feel the same way. So he has found it hard to get back into the groove and has become very frusturated. He will let it hamper the things he would like to do like swimming. If there is too many people he will be uncomfortable and not want to go out. His cloths don't fit well and after getting to buy smaller sizes he is back up into his bigger cloths. He is frusturated and it is hard to talk to him about it because he is so closed off. He is happy for my success but I think a bit bitter. In the beginning he told me I was doing things wrong and wasn't being healthy about it. I have done well though and now that he has been proven wrong he seems to feel even worse. I know that I can't be the one to get him going. It is from the inside that this desire has to come. I have tried to be supportive but he doesn't want to mention it at all. I am not sure if there is something else I can be doing. I don't want to be "mom" and pull the coke out of his hand but I hate seeing him so miserable!!! There may be nothing I can do and I just have to wait until he is ready to do what he needs to do. Anyone been in this same situation??? What helped? sigh. I am so happy and I want him to be happy with me... whatever his weight is!
Ok thanks for bearing with me. I would love any suggestions as this weighs on my head and I hate to see him so unhappy! I know what it feels like to not fit into your cloths!
Alright enough I am going to go take a shower and go look for bikini's;) I hope you all have a good day. I am officially starting my summer break today!!! yippeeeeee!!!!:jump:
 
You go girl!!! You've got one foot in the 150s!!!! I'm so happy for you! Whoo hoo for Mishi!!! Work it girl, work it.

I can't wait to get to change my ticker again.

This is your week!!! Say goodbye to the 160s!
 
Good going with your weight-loss!
I see why this situation with your boyfriend bothers you. I think in similar situation I would just try to bring out the positive effects of weight-loss in my own life and let the man make his own conclusions of that. Men usually like to [think they] figure everything out themselves.. :eek:
Or maybe find one or a few good posts here on the subject "How weight-loss has changed my life for the better" and leave them on the table "by mistake"? If you've already tried talking about this with him and it didn't work, maybe he needs some time to accept your help.
You said:
I am so happy and I want him to be happy with me... whatever his weight is!

I'd think that's the best encouragement for him to stay fit and healthy for the rest of your lives. :)

Way to get into a 10!! you are almost in the single digits! Go girl!!! I love shopping for "smaller" clothes. hehe

How is your day?
 
not even noon and I am batting 1000!

Ha ha but not in a good way. Went to the doctor this morning for a scoping of my bladder. TMI I know but I feel like sharing :hug2: ;) lol. I was so nervous I almost cried and it hurt!! I think it was my tenseness that made it hurt but I don't care it didn't feel good. I was very good and stopped by the gym on the way home, got my son into daycare and went to change... where I realized I forgot my sports bra. I was so disgruntled that I just got my son and went home. Now I am tired and grumpy and eating my way to a funk. It is 11:32 and I have already had 1000 calories:( sigh. I will try to be good for the rest of the day but I do need to get the work out in. Maybe if I take a nap I will feel better??
sigh
Bruce- Hi ya! Thank you for the good morning! It was in fact a great day! Glad to see you around:)
Julie- Thank you for the encouragement. I think he will find his own way as I did. We watch Biggest Loser every year and he knows what the effect will be. I just have to wait for him to find his way:)
MJ- Good morning. My morning isn't great so far but if I can get a workout in I will be doing better I am sure! Just have to hold strong for the rest of the day!!!
Hope you all have a good one too!!!! Today will get better dammit!:boxing:
 
Howdy Mish,
Wow sorry about the doctor's office.I get the heebeegeebees
when I have to go for something specially good ole paps smears BLAH....!
I hope everything turns out good which I am sure it will!
You amaze me more and more I happened to read the little writing by your ticker and saw you had started from ":240:" wow I thought your heaviest was
205 so that really inspires me even more because that is close to what I started out at and look at you now in the 150's!!
As far as your calories being at 1000 already you may have just been a lil hungrier now but won't be as hungry later,I did that matter of fact I kind of did today,instead of having my 100 cal snack I had the baked potatoe(healthy loaded with FF stuff)now and the lower cal snack later.
Well Mish keep up the good work! By the way I am checking into the "YMCA" to see if they have water areobic programs if not they still have a ton of exersice things to do and I will qualify for the scholarship for low income and it waves the $156 joining fee and it will leave me with a $56 yeary membership w/ free daycare.Well I will talk at ya later.:jump:
 
Today is a good day.... didn't have to use my Ak lol

Yes it has been a nice relaxing day. It was nice to have something to do today. I went to the career fair to look for a teacher who might want to take the part time art position at the highschool I am leaving. I was there for 4 hours and there was only 4 people who were mildly interested. None of them wanted the part time position but there may not be anything else available. It was a bit discouraging. Not that I should care because I won't be there next year but I am attached to that school and I want them and our department to do well! I went to the gym right after the job fair. I had to stop by the store real quick to get a headband because I had forgotten mine and they had southbeach protein bars on sale so I stocked up on those. Came home from the gym with my Wendy's salad and had just finished putting on all the good stuff like craizens and roasted almonds and I hit it with my elbow and it flew off the table and all over me and the floor. I must of been pretty emo at that point with the calorie deficit and I broke down crying:( My wonderful boyfriend jumped up and ran off to get me a new salad as I tried to put my poor salad back into the container. It was so sad then but pretty funny now lol:rotflmao: I feel much better after eating! So far my calories are 863. I am not hungry and I burned 500 cals at the gym on the treadmil (20 minutes running at 5.0- 12 minute mile) and interval training on the elipitical machine for 20 minutes. I felt great after working out!! I feel good now! It is a good day. Tommorow starts June and a new goal with new measurements and a new challenge (2lbs a week challenge). I am excited for the new goal. I started May off at 162 and am now down to 159.4. Not a big loss for the month but due to stress and overeating I had gone up to 165 (not a lot I know but it was hard to watch the scale go up non the less!) so I did manage to work my way down from there. I did maintain well and that gives me some comfort knowing that I know where to start when I get to that level. I am thinking about changing my ultimate goal to 135 just to try to be at a healthy weight but I am going to get to 145 first and see how that feels. I just want to take it slow and be able to maintain when I get there. No sense in losing all this just to shoot back up! That is what I keep telling myself!
Nia- Thank you! Everything did turn out well and I am feeling fine. No scary after effects! One of my kidneys is out of whack and doesn't do it's job as efficiently as it should be doing but it is not severe enough to warrent anything being done. So I am done with that part until something changes for the worse! yay!
Yeah I was at 240. It was so hard to be at the weight though I swear I had a different image of myself in my head. I only saw reality in pictures or if I tried on clothing. My highest size was 24!! I started to lose weight in 2003, after my divorce, when I started waking up earlier and jogging for 20 minutes at the park near my house. After just 3 months of just that I lost 36lbs! It seriously doesn't take a lot in the beginning! It's just getting out there that is hard! I stopped when I got to my first goal of 196 (pre-pregnancy weight) and maintained for years. Last summer I started going overboard with food when I started dating my boyfriend and my weight went up to 205. I freaked out and tried going to the gym in the fall but I didn't lose any weight. I did get more defined though. In January it hit me that I was sick of bitching about losing weight all the time and if I wanted it I just needed to do it. Lol not sure if y'all needed a summation but I felt like sharing lol. I am really proud that I have lost 80lbs!!! It is something that looked so duanting in the beginning!! Just small steps and lazy ass changes (as I am a lazy person and hate dieting;) lol). It is amazing to be this close to a goal and I want to see how far it takes me. Almost like a challenge now to see how well I can do!!
That's how I know you can do it too!! You have stayed strong and commited even though you haven't been "perfect" everyday!! I relate to you and several others because of how close are starting weights were but also because we are all so determined!!! :)
That's awsome about the Y! They have such good programs for kids too:) and water aerobics is so fun!! If your ever in Albuquerque I will have to take you to a class;) lol. Seriously... who in there right mind would come to Alb.??:rotflmao: he he he. I hope you all have a wonderful day and as June approaches I am getting geared up for some serious weight loss and maybe to get to my goal:D!!!!!!! Y'all with me right!!!:jump: I am definatly in a goofy mood now:)
 
Howdy Mish,
Wow your boyfriend sounds super nice!
Hitting your elbow would make any1 cry.I love your attitude.
Your doing good and I can't wait to see you at your ultimate
goal whatever that may be?Hope you have nice night,Tammy
 
I am disgruntled today:(

I am disgruntled with my way of eating. I hesitate to say "diet" because that denotes something that I can't maintain forever. I tried really hard to pick a way of eating that I could maintain and work with. An eating plan that would allow ice cream and candy if I had the desire. Recently it has been hard. With the summer break I have too much time on my hands and I don't use it constructivly. I am at a loss without a daily schedule. It is hard to keep to my eating schedule as well. I am stressing about stressing over every bite I put into my mouth. I am sick of worrying about it! I wish it was more automatic but everytime I just let go and don't worry I over-do it. This is the first month I have really gone for a goal. A goal of 8 lbs in a month (2lbs a week). It's like it's my undoing. As soon as I put the stress on I start to self sabatouge. This weekend has been terrible for eating... or should I say wonderful? Lol. No really it has been terrible!! I eat until I am physically sick!!! Luckily a few days won't hurt me too much but I am losing my control and I can't figure out how to get it back. I want to be happy with the weight I am now but I also want to see how far I can go! I miss not having to worry all the time about food and just being able to eat what I felt like. I think I could do that again if I worked out all the time but I don't want to spend that sort of time working out. Modifying my diet is the only other way to do it then. I just don't know where to go next. It is very stressful and not a new story. How did other people handle it?
 
Howdy Mish,
I know exactly how you feel.I recently have done
rather good and all the sudden here comes the craving's.I have to
add to my diary that once again I had a tyson chicken breast patty
with chedder cheese and mayo and a pk of ramen noodles geeesh WHY
O WHY the sad thing is I ate this not even an hour after dinner like I was
starving and I had a nice healthy dinner.There are just some days we
just feel we can't get full.But the good thing is we know what the problem
is and we can pick right back up where ya left off at.
Look at that ticker it is "FARRRRRRRRRRR"away from 240!!!I am praying that
June is the month I finally hit 160's I know latenight chicken patties won't help lol.Ok your doing great a bad day/weekend happends your strong
you'll meet your goal,Tammy:beerchug:
 
Anti-social behavior

Hi folks. I have been a bit anti-social recently and I think I will continue the trend for a little bit. I am busy today and working to get on track. I was at the gym this morning for and hour of water aerobics and 25 minutes of running and another 10 minutes of streching. I did well and I have only had a protien bar as I am still full from all the food I had yesterday. I am determined to complete my new challenge and I am focusing really hard on what I want to get done. I have had a hard time managing my diet because I am used to the schedule I have at school and now I have no schedule. So I am putting myself on a routine by writting a to do list every day. I am halfway through my list for today and I feel great!!! I am off to take a shower and get ready to finish the rest of my list and then take the little one swimming. When I have a bit more time I will visit diaries but for now I am going to stick to just posting in mine.
Howdy to all my friends!!! Thank you Tammy for your continued support!!! I need it right now!! It's hard to push through to the end!! but I will get there and dang it I am determined:D lol We will definatly meet our goal!!! :hug2:
 
There's no doubt in my mind you will meet goal, Mish. Just keep on keepin' on. You are very conscientuous. I hear you on the lack of schedule, now that school's out, but the other side of the coin is now you have time for some killer workouts. I find the more I get myself to the gym, the less I want to overeat. Part of you probably wants to relaaaaax after the hectic school schedule. Nothing wrong with that. Treat yourself to a pedicure or a soak in bubble bath, or a massage, you deserve it!!
 
Update

So today has been perfect. I went to the gym and did 55 minutes of water aerobics, then my son wanted to go to the little kids workout class so I did another 25 minutes of running on the treadmill while I waited for him. When I got home from all my errands later I went swimming for 45 minutes with my b/f and son. My calories are at 1231 for the day. If you want to check out the fitday page:
I am glad to have such a great day. Now if I can just keep it going!!!
Anna- yeeesssss relaxing is such a nice thing but I feel very stressed if I don't have anything to do. It's weird. And sleeping in with a little one just doesn't happen so I need to fill my day! You are right about hitting the gym. I was having a more difficult time last week as my boyfriend worked from home and I usually like to be here when he is. However it is back to normal this week. I think I could be ok:D Just want to see the 156 on Friday!
