Mishi's adventures!

Hi Carlitta! Thanks for dropping by. My exercise during the summer was pretty often. I had water aerobics on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and most Fridays. On some Mondays and most Fridays I had an hour weight lifting class that mixes cardio and weight lifting to burn more calories while you build muscle. I love that class. Now I am on a different schedule for school and on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I am going to do 30 minutes of running and 45 minutes of a weight lifting routine a trainer designed for me and that I have revamped. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am going to try to run for at least a half an hour. We will see how it works. It's hard getting into a new schedule!
I hope that is what you were looking for:)
Miss Tammy!!! I am so excited! It is sinking in that I am engaged (he really surprised me!!) and I have been in tears all day lol. It is so wonderful. We will have a website soon and I can show off pics and what not... and I get to go get my dress today!!! he he he. Diet is the last thing on my mind for now but I will keep it in check lol. yipieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
 
Wedding website

We have started a website so that family and friends can come and check out pictures and stories.

Cloud Nine

It has been so hard to stick to any kind of diet. Celebrations always involve food for my family and I really feel like just letting go and enjoying this weekend. I am doing ok so far today but because my internet is so touchy (disappeared all day today) I haven't been able to regularly enter my food. I know I was way over the last few days but damn it was good and I just felt like eating happy food! lol. I will get back on track on Monday and I have a year. A weekend won't kill me but motivation is hard to get back if you go too long. I am just so happy.... that is until I think about planning the wedding. I am so excited to be married and to be able to call him my husband but I planned my first wedding and it sucked... the wedding itself was awsome but putting all that together was really stressful and during the wedding I was so worried about the details that I couldn't really focus totally on the wedding itself. Paul is excited about helping plan the wedding and I am worried about how we will work out the details as we both have different ideas. lol I guess it will be good practice for the marriage. I love him so much!! I am so giddy. The website is coming along. It is neat that we will have that for our kids to read. He is in the middle of writing his version of the proposal. I can't wait to read it. So much good going on right now! I am so blessed! I have a year to get into the best shape I can and I am sure I can do it. I want to look fabulous in my dress!!

Ok today

I was dreading going to work! My job is rough right now. Having to teach all these subjects I don't know anything about with supplies that I don't have yet. It is so rough! So I really didn't want to go today. However it went well today. I am still getting used to the 2 hour classes but it is nice I only have one class every day and the others are every other day so that isn't too bad. I am going to have to get creative quick though. There is only so much I can do introducing rules and things. I have to figure out how to get them started on their subjects without the supplies. I just don't know when they are coming in!
Anywho I did well eating today. Not having internet has been fixed with a long cable so hopefully I can put my food in more regularly. Because of all the happy events August got screwed. I will see the month out but am going to start again die hard in September. I don't know why I need to wait until then but it just seems easier to start at the beginning of the month. However I am not going to splurge anymore! I am feeling flabby from lack of working out. I really wanted to work out today somehow but with my little one sick and we are sharing a car while mine was at the shop... finding time was really hard. I have no idea how other mom's do it! I would love to invest in a home exercise contraption but there is no room in my tiny apt. I am hoping when we move to the house it will be better! The sad thing is Paul can't live with me at the house because his mom owns it and has put her foot down:( However it will be nice to save money and live in what will be our home when we get married:beating:
I am struggling against the total desire to slack! It is so hard once you give yourself an inch!! I know I will be fine. I have plenty of time until my December goal and definatly have a whole year to look fabulous in my dress! I can't wait!
Thank you Mal, MJ and Tammy!!! Have a wonderful night!!!
 
Enough of this constant celebration!

Alright guys it's time to pull it back together. I know I said some sort of something about September in my last post but screw that. I need to get on it now or else I will have lost what I have acomplished! I am sort of mortified that the scale said 158 this morning... only because I know it's because I haven't been working out and am losing my muscle:( I know I haven't stayed here because of my hard work recently. I am glad I am moving away from scale happy and just wanting to be in shape. I am seeing some flab come back and I am not happy. Getting into the new routine of school is hard and with my son sick and my car at the shop yesterday it was hard to find time to work out. I felt obligated to come right home because my financee had stayed home with my son all day. So I will try to get out for at least a walk today! I will have to give up my ring tommorow to have it resized:( Apparently I have skinny fingers lol!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
 
Good job sticking with it! It is a slippery slope when you allow yourself to slack, I know that oh to well! You are doing amazing, you'll be even smaller in Sept! Work those skinny fingers!! You can do it!
 
Lost weight in my fingers!

We went yesterday to get my finger measured and get the ring resized. I miss having it on my finger:( HOwever it will be a relief when it fits right! My ring size was 6 when I last got married and that's what it was when I got pregnant and afterwards as well. Well apparently my finger has shrunk. It measured at a 5 and 1/2. Ring fitting is weird. I have this fat knuckle that makes the ring tight but then it spins when it gets down to the bottom of my finger. I figure 5 and 1/2 will be ok. I am mainly worried about when I work out and when I get pregnant but if I am going to lose more weight before the wedding that will give me some room to grow later. It is stressful picking a ring size! What if it changes? What if it doesn't fit so well? What if my finger swells and they have to cut it off!!! lol I guess it should be good motivation to keep me skinny! lol. Yesterday I didn't do to badly. The only extras I had was a childs cone from Dairy Queen (150 cals) and a handful of ranch Doritos (200 cals). So I was most likely around 1600 cals. I havne't had the time to do fitday. It just takes so long to post! But I have found I can actually eat well as long as I stick to the things I am used to eating. My weight is at 157.8 today:) I am glad I didn't ruin my progress with all the celebrating. I am thinking of hiring a personal trainer for a "bridal bootcamp" sort of thing. I just am not sure when I should do that. 4 months before?? 3?? I just don't know. Today will be a good day and tommorow is my Friday! I like 4 day weeks but planning for 2 hour classes sucks!!
Hope you all have a good day and thank you MJ!! It's nice to see you around again!!
 
Howdy Mish,
Woohooo atleast you have a skinny body part I don't have any
lol even my earlobes are fat haha.:rotflmao: Anyway you have done sunch a great job that any goal you set for yourself I am sure you ca do!
Hope you have a gr8 day and way to go on a childs cone,Tammy
 
Bad Girl

I can't stop eating ice cream. I guess I should do the whole "Dangerous Minds" bit and say I "won't" stop eating ice cream. Sigh lol. That slow churned french vanilla is soooooooooo tasty and because I like melty ice cream I have been putting it in the microwave for 30 seconds and then stir it up and it's like a milkshake in a bowl:drooling: <- I don't know why that thing says "drooling"... it looks like it's sleeping! lol. So today I am down a half pound. I am not sure what is accounting for the weight loss but I am still thinking I am losing muscle. Some of me is ok with that;) ha ha. I have been going for walks the last several days at work during lunch. Today I am officially starting a walking club with anyone who wants to join me. I have 2 that I know of tommorow. Some of me is worried about walking in a group. I like listening to my ipod and just walking where I want to walk. However, I really want to get involved with my students and co-workers so this could be a way:) I am hoping that accounts for some of the weight loss! I am going to my muscle hour class tommorow so that should help as well. At least once a week for now. I need to get my butt in gear on Mondays and Wednesdays though. I am just not sure how to break this plateau. Losing muscle is not the best way to lose weight. I am really thinking of a trainer sooner. I like what Lukewarm is doing with Leigh. I just don't have money now:( We shall see!
Ha ha Nia... hardly!! lol You look great and those earlobes don't look fat to me!!!:rotflmao: Thanks for the encouragement! That childs cone was unfortunatly trumped by the 3 bowls of ice cream I had last night:drooling: oh god it was good though. I need to do something else. Maybe sparkpeople instead of fitday for a change??? I just don't know!
I had a personal trainer too but she disapointed me. I really want advice all over for nutrition and exercise!
Hope you all have a wonderful day! Today is my Friday and thank god I get paid tommorow... which is funny I say that because I still won't have any money. It all goes to rent and bills and health insurance... sigh but the first check in September should be great!!! lol Just have to hold out 2 more weeks!! hate money... hate not having money... need to win the lottery!!! lol
 
No ice cream is safe in this house. I had to quit buying it because I couldn't stick to one portion. I'd eat it till it was gone. It was so wack!!. lol

When does the wedding challenge start for you? How exciting!!
 
Howdy Mish,
Honestly ice cream specially plain vanilla can't be as horrible as greesy chips or brownies candy ect I see it as a dairy with a lil sugar,and also the heat doesn't help I bought the breyers slow churn on a stick crunch 150 a piece but I used to eat a whole lil container of ben and jerrys cookie doough which was 260 per serv x 4 :eek2: ............:eek: so it is a better choice :) don't sweat it you still lost!!Heck yeah I will jin the walking challnage do you wanna do the HALLOWEEN challange I am working on you only really have to check in a few times a week I know your 1 busy mama but I am closing the sighn up this Saturday I have 37 peeps so far and it's a team challange could get interesting...:rotflmao:
Have a gr8 day and don't blow your whole payday like I do haha Tammy
 
Howdy Mishi,
TY for stopping by the halloween challange and sighning
up it's going to be fun!Hope you have a gr8 weekend Tammy
 
Once you fall hard it sucks to get back up!

I am struggling again with wanting to eat healthy. I also don't feel good which doesn't help. I was supposed to go and pull weeds at our future house today but my throat was hurting so bad and my head is not feeling too great either. So we took a rest day. I am antsy though because I want to go to the gym or get out and go for a walk but I also want to rest and make sure if I have something it doesn't get worse! It is so hard to be home and get my butt up to go workout. There is so much at home for me with my son and my fiance. I have all these exercises in my head and things I want to do but doing them at home with everyone here feels sort of weird. Definatly something I will have to get over!! My official start date is September 1st. Same idea as last time with a few cheat days and 5 days of exercise. I just need to commit and do it. I have it in me to lose the last 13lbs. I just have to go for it and fully commit. No more of this backsliding!!
Hi Tammy and MJ! Hope you all are having a restful weekend!!
 
It is SUPER HARD to get back up once you fall down. i agree. i got down to 192, and then I had a few bad days... stopped exercising, and went RIGHT back up to 210. What a sad feeling. You have come SOO far, don't let a bad day knock you off the horse.
 
Sweatin'

I am proud of myself. I woke up at 5:40am to go and workout. I did a cardio video I had. I can't leave the house because I want to make sure if my boyfriend wants to work out he has the chance and daycare for the gym isn't open until 8am. So I needed something I could do inside. I tried to be quiet but the light woke my son up half way through. Poor kids going to be scarred because he woke up to his mom in her undies and sports bra kicking it up in the living room;) lol. He just layed on the couch and watched me jump around and breathe hard. Finacee I should say was laying in bed and I was trying to keep the cooler on so I didn't make too much noise:) I hope it worked! After I did 4 regular pushups... I am planning to build that number:p and then I did 30 tricep dips on the chair. My shoulders are burning from that. During lunch I will take my 20 minute walk and I will eat well. That should jump start me. My weihgt was 159 yesterday and 160 the day before. If I just stay strong it will go down. I am excited for this challenge and hope I can get down the last 14 or so pounds. I really want to start working on a new goal. I am thinking 135 will be a good weight for my wedding dress!
