Mishi's adventures!

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!


WOW MISH WAY TO KICK BUTT AT THE GYM!I checked out FITDAY and you burned over 600 cals that is so awesome,I heard you can burn 1oo cals per mile and if thats true I burned 400 plus I did the squats girly pushups and belly dancing lol myway.We are so doing good and going to make our goals I feel it.Goodluck with 156 Friday you can do it girl,Tammy
 
Happy Tuesday Mish,
I hope your day is going gr8. I will drop by later
when you update with your daily kickbutt activities.Tammy
 
Hey Mishi!! You are on a roll sister. Look at your melting away, and 158!!! You go girl!!! How's the beta?? hehe Moved some of the swordtails into the large tank, they are in heaven, and I think one smiled at me today. lol

Have a great day and keep up the good work. You're doing it!!
 
day on, day off

I swear I wish I could keep it together the whole time! I am having issues with night time hunger. Something about the summer day makes me less hungry in the am and then hungry for dinner around 4pm which is a freaking long time until bedtime. It is hard to hold it together. Yesterday I didn't eat until like 6 then I went over board with 3 bowls of cereal and a bowl of ice cream. My cals weren't terrible at 1900 and I went to the gym in the morning but my class wasn't as kick booty as it usually is. So my cals burned were low. No worries though. Today I tried a new cardio dance class and it was awsome. I swear I burned like 400+ calories. My heartrate was way up and even though I was very uncoordinated it was fun!!! I can't wait to go back next Wednesday. I think in order to have a day like monday workout wise I will need to do a second workout in the day... either right after the water aerobics or make a time later to do something. I would love to wake up early and go for a run but it is hard and I have been going to bed late. Today's food has been right on so far. Instead of breakfest I just had a protien bar. When I got home I had a piece of wheat bread with a tbspn of chunky lowfat peanut butter and a banana for "breakfest". I think steering away from the breakfest, lunch, dinner idea may help me. If I eat every 2-3 hours I feel pretty good. I just have to keep that up because if I don't I get sort of crazy and eat oodles of food!!!
I feel good today though. I feel strong and I can see my ribcage now when I stand which is freaking amazing!!! I can see some ab definition too!! I have to look really closly but it's there;)
bmo- nice to see you!!
Tammy- yeah Monday was amazing! Just have to keep up that momentum:) I am losing hope for the 156 but if I can just keep it together and do well everyday that will be a win for me.:)
Anna- thank you! I did have a good day yesterday! We rented movies and I saw "The Messengers" and "Blood Diamond". Both were great movies though I have to say "Blood Diamond" was really good!!!! Highly reccomended!
Hi MJ- lol I feel sort of "melty";) he he he. Beta is still alive! I tell you he is a trooper! Water needs to be changed but at least I am remembering to feed him on a regular basis. I tell you I am bad!!! That is cute your fish smile at you:) Mine sigh in resignation and float... I think it's an attention ploy! poor fish! My fish karma is definatly low! I have a terantula too. I named it spot. My b/f is terrified of it so I moved it into my sons room. Terantulas are the pet for me. You can go months without feeding them and they really require nothing. It's great! Her name is "Spot". I have had her for 10 years now!!!! A flirty guy at the pet store gave her to me along with a cage and some instructions. :D
Hope you all have a good day! I am going to work hard against those nightly cravings!!!
 
Goodafternoon Mish,
Lol uncordinated and fun lol sounds like me.
I tried taeboe once before and I swear I kicked everything over
in my livingroom as well as fell over myself lol not a pretty sight.
Your doing great and 156 will be here in no time,Have a gr8 day
T :jump: A :jump: M :jump: M Y
 
WHAT?!?!?!?! a tarantula as a pet? lol. I'm horrified of them. I can't wait until i can see ab definition in my stomach. Good for you. Keep up the good work. Great job with exercise too!
 
Goodafternoon Mish,
I hope your having a wonderful day!
I used to have a trantula as a pet when I a teen
it was either that or a scorpion lol anyhoot I fed it
crickets by the dozen lol they said 1 per week but this
1 would web it ASAP I finally got rid of it when it came time
to change the cage the thought of it getting out gave me the HBGB'S.
So i bought me a couple pet rats they were great pets ate everything
let me hold and pet them and didn't once bite me..
Well I hope you have a nice day,Tammy
 
A good morning with pics!!! lol

Alright guys! I am on it today. I am going to have a perfect day gosh darn it!!! I ate oatmeal for breakfest hoping it will keep me satisfied longer. I really have to work on my recipie as it was awful!!! I nuked water and oatmeal (unsweetened) in the microwave and then stirred in some splenda and some raspberries. Oh god it was awful. I just don't think splenda can cut it with sugar for oatmeal. Any suggestions??
So I am wearing my size 11 jeans which were loose but I washed them and now they fit just right so I decided to take some pics. I realized that all my pics I have been taking I haven't labeled the date or the weight I am at! So I went back and cropped a few to show you and guessed that I was around the 180 mark. It was before I cut my hair but I have no idea when that was lol! I guess I could look through my diary and find it but I am a lazy person;) he he he.
So here is a pic from I am thinking around Feb/March and I should be around 180lbs:

3-07180lbs.jpg



Now here is one from April or May and I am in the mid 160's:):
Me5-07163lbs.jpg

5-07163lbs.jpg



And (drum roll) this is me from this morning!!! I am at 157 today!!:
Me6-7-07158lbs.jpg

158lbs6-7-07.jpg




I look a bit like a drowned rat but the gist is there. I hope the photos aren't too big. I didn't really modify them so they may be. I am feeling pretty computer illiterate these days:rolleyes: I wish I could get the pics into my diary like Tammy does but really I need a manual and some intensive training!! So I am going to kick ass today. Already been to the gym and burned almost 600 calories. I am going to go swimming soon with the b/f so that number should go up a bit. I am going to do well on food and aim for 1500 calories or less:) I am hoping to see the 156 tommorow. I am close: 157 today. Just keeping my fingers crossed:)
Hi Nia!! I like taebo but I tend to kick stuff over too and I have a small apt so it's better not tried:) I totally had a nightmare about my terantula where it was caught in my hand and I couldn't get it off without squishing it or getting bit and it scared the crap out of me. So I don't touch it. I just feed it and water it every once and awhile. I want to get my son a hamster or a rat but I am allergic to rats and can't hold them without swelling up with all the scratches they give me:( So the trantula will have to do for now. We just look at it and his little friends are all impressed.:)
Bmo- thank you I am working on it. I am hoping to get the guts soon to post an ab pic but there is so much flab that y'all may not be able to see what I see lol. I am working to define that up a bit then I will post... maybe I will get a pic on by July:)
I hope you all have a good day and good luck to those who are on the two lbs a week challenge. I am pretty nervous but any loss is good so I will have to calm down a bit:)

Hey girl I swear we sound alike except I totally go OVERBOARD when I chow down.I bought "BREYERS"100 calorie cups of cookies and cream ice cream,taste like the real deal perfect!Here is the soup recipie it's from the
SH-SACRED HEART DIET"But the diet is one of the FAD diets like the rest but this soup is very healthy and you won't feel bad eating it anytime of day or night.Tammy
 
Nice pics! You look so happy! And you've definitely shrunk. You were pretty to start with, but I see a difference in your attitude. :D
About oatmeal: I do it with water in the microwave too, but I do just a bit of salt instead of sugar. Like it was bread, not cereal. Raspberries do fine even with salt. We Finnish children have a saying: you can eat anything but oatmeal porridge without salt. ;) For sweetness, have you tried raisins? They're nice and sweet and not too bad for you.. :)

Thank you Juli! I will try the raisons and salt tommorow:) Has to be better than what I made today lol!!
Tammy that's a good idea with the 100 cals Breyers. I am planning to go to the store to stock up on stuff like that. Just have to wait for payday tommorow:p
 
Wow Mish Great pictures.You have lost alot! I hope I look as good as
you in the 150's!Yeah my payday is tomorrow to.Tammy
 
the difference in your face, arms, and tummy are incredible :) and the addition of some sass in the after pics are even better :)

way to go!!
 
Friday, payday! what could be better?

So glad it is payday. I was scrapping the barrel and we are on our last roll of toilet paper!!! lol.
So I am satisfied but still a bit let down that I just lost a pound from last week. I am only dissappointed because I know where I didn't do well and it is so hard to stay on track these days! I am not sure if I am just hungrier because I have been working out more or if it is the weird summer schedule. I just don't have the will power I need to say no to extra cereal servings or ice cream or in the case of last night. I went to my mom's to do some yardwork for her and she bought pizza for me and my boyfriend because we were helping her. I brought a salad because I was already at 1100 calories but she had bought so much I guess she didn't hear about my salad and I felt obligated to have a piece... but then I had to have another. I burned almost 900 calories yesterday with the gym and the yardwork but it would have done much better if I could've just had one piece or better yet no pieces. I am frusturated that I cave and afterwards I think about how easy it would be to just say no and yet I folded. I am frusturated. I like the willpower. I like the feeling of control it gives me. I am usually good all day and it tends to fall apart by 4. I have even been breaking things up into smaller pieces so that I eat every few hours and don't get really hungry. But right around 4 or 5 I get famished and eat too much of whatever I choose to have. I know I will get past this but it is just something that bothers me right now.
I am excited for the weekend. Not sure why lol but I am going tommorow to help my b/f pull weeds at his house. It will be good exercise:) I have lots to do today and i have to get to the store and get bills paid etc. So I am off to do that. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! and I am a pound down so I will be happy:)
Thank you Tammy, Mal and Bmo:) It is neat to see the pics side by side. Really shows me where I have been and how far I have come. For those of you with myspace I posted a slideshow on my myspace that is neat to see. A nice way to show off:) lol

I completely understand about how you just cave. Cuz i am doing the same thing. I think maybe if we keep telling ourselves that its not worth it... and maybe just 1 time try to avoid them. No matter how hard it is.... and then realize it is possible not to cave. Even if its something small like not having icecream...just 1 night.
 
Howdy Mish,
I went to the store to buy diapers and wipes and I also threw in the cart oreos and french bread pizza,what was I thinking I didn't eat them yet lol I am going to try to nibble on the bad stuff beacuse I can't fihure out how to handle TOM yet.
Also congrats on losing a lb I lost 1lb to this week,was really hoping for 2 lbs because I pushed xtra hard trhis week.Mish your doing great did you check out the soup?I swear it doesn't taste bad at all and you get your greens in to and can eat anytime.Hope you have a nice weekend!!!Tammy

Hey Mishi! I know what you mean about the late evening hunger, it's vicious!! I had to drink three glasses of water to calm the tiger in my belly last night.

I love it that you have a spider!!! How scarey cute!! My fish give me what my sister and I call "the stink eye" when they are hungry. It's too funny. They always run up to the tank when I come by it and give me the stink eye. They'd eat all day if I let them.

Anyhow, I see you are down another pound since my last visit. You are doing it sister!!! Way to go and show us how it's done.
