Mishi's adventures!

i agree about being in a funk and kind of staying there for a little while.

I was doing so well, then after my chocolate slip-up yesterday i feel like i gained 20 lbs and feel so yukky.

Great job on your home workout though, sounds like it was good. Keep your chin up girl and keep smiling

Working together

Last night me and the fiancee had some friction. He mentioned last week about working out together and I asked him what he had in mind and he said he didn't know. So I left it for then thinking he would come back to me and let me know when he wanted to talk about it. Meanwhile I have been trying to get myself into a routine that I will stick too as I sadly see all my progress from this summer slip away:( So last night I go for a run and then I mention that I wanted to run this morning and he got upset. He is upset because I am off doing my own thing again and he wanted to do stuff together. We talked about it for a bit and it is upsetting that we are in different places. It seems impossible to get something done together. We both also have very different ideas of how weight loss should be done. I need a more strict schedule and he needs one that is more flexible. So I came up with a solution: We will each plan out our own workout schedule for the week but for now we will make it a point to have a workout with eachother at least once a week. I figure we can slid slowly into it and then when we are closer to eachother we can really work together more often. I hope it works. It stresses me out to think that we can't work together. Espeically if we are going to get married!
So I am excited for that:)
I didn't get to workout this morning but I am going to do something tonight. I am having some stress in my personal life but I also remedied some stress that was bothering me so it's balancing out I guess:rolleyes:
Faye- sounds like you just messed up one day! God chocolate is just good for the soul! I hope you feel better:) I understand the yucky feeling all too well and yet it still doesn't stop me from stuffing my face!
Tammy- so glad to hear you had a better day! These darn ups and downs:flame: eventually we will get it though. It's such a process. I was running last night and just chanting to myself that my weight is the one thing I have control over. If I am fat it is only my fault and there is something I can do about it. Really helped me do well:) Think it will be my mantra for awhile:D
 
Howdy Mishi,
YAY what a nice ideal for you and soon to be hubby
working out together that should be motivating fun and to have company at the same time,I used to ask hubby to go for walks with me and he replied why I am not the one who wants to lose weight grrrr he acts a lil different now about it but still never walks with me then again we have 4 kids that would have to walk and complain about it hahaha!Hopefully we can put those bad very bad eating days behind uf!Have a gr8 night and NO MORE FRICTION lol Tammy
 
Friction keeps you real!

lol. Future hubby and I had a talk about honesty and not only honesty between us but also with the outside world. We have known several "perfect" marriages that have been a lie and just fallen apart and we think that it is better for people to see the honest relationship rather than the fairy tale one... keeps things real. I am so glad I have found him! :beating:
I have been kicking booty and have worked out every night this week so far. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am going to workout and do strength training. Just the norm stuff without weights for now. I am going to see if I can work my way up to doing more pushups.. not girl pushups!. I am also doing the same for sit ups. Real situps. So I did 2 sets of: 10 sit ups, 10 side to sides for obliques, 4 pushups and 6 girlie push ups, 10 crunches, 15 second planks, &10 chair dips. Befoer all that I ran 20 minutes, walked 10 and did stretches. I feel really good today and there is just mild soreness. My food wasn't as great calorie wise but it was all very healthy so that is a plus. I was just at 2000 calories. Not terrilbe but not in the wieght loss category.
Yeah Tammy 4 kids would be crazy! I don't usually take my son because when I run he can't keep up! lol like my dog. Lazy dang dog;) he he he
I generally like to run alone but I need to get some more famliy oriented workouts;)
I hope you all have a wonderful day! I can't wait until I can jump on the scale!!
 
wow you do so awesome on your home exercise.

girlie push-ups? how do they differ from regular push-ups.. you saying us girls don't work it as hard as men? lol... I have to admit though i do a few regular and mine probably turn into girlie push-ups.... hehe

Looking forward to Saturday weigh in? i know i am !
 
lol Faye. I don't know if they have other names but you do regular push ups but instead of being on your feet your on your knees:) lol I call them girly because yes I am a wimp;) lol
Exercising has felt awsome! I even ran last night a minute faster than the night before! I am excited!
 
OHHH those kinds of push ups hehe, i know what u mean now :p

i normally do push ups on my exercise ball, i think it helps my balance more :)
 
I haven't done those yet. My balance on the ball isn't that great. I really want to get myself up to doing those crazy military one handed pushups! That is my goal:) We shall see:D I can do only 3 or 4 regular pushups as it is! Figure with more consistancy I will get it!
 
What a weekend

This weekend was draining in every way possible. We are continuing to do work every weekend at the house we are going to move into. I wasnt' sure when I would be able to give my notice to my apartments because the kitchen cabinets were a mess. The one where the sink was had gotten water damage and we couldn't just go out and buy a new one and plunk it in. The cabinet was a custom 42" and if you want one of those you have to special order it and it takes over a month to come in. That just didn't work with me moving in November 1st. So after 2 weeks of going to Lowe's and Home Depot and some other cabinet places we finally came up with a workable idea of a 36" with 3" spacers on each side to make it fit. Still have to match the color which used to be "natural oak" back in it's hey day but it's yellowed and lightened with time. Matching it took 2 stains and a polyurathane stain and lots of testers. Finally got that done this weekend. My job was to refinish the other cabinets which is a 6 step process. I am not sanding or anything but scrubbing years of grime and then oiling and oiling again. I finished yesterday. They look really good. The new cabinet stained a bit darker than we thought it would and the spacers stained a much darker color. It will blend because the other cabinets have color variations too but as it is my project I am sort of pissy. However, now that we have gotten that done the countertop can be put in and the sinks and then we can lay the flooring in the house!! After that just tile in one bathroom, trim, tile backsplash and doors. sigh. So much to do still but the move in date looks good. Going to be busy every weekend from now on though. It's a good kind of busy though. Burns lots of calories;)
Had a huge emotional shakeup yesterday. I laid some emotional baggage on the table that I had between me and my best friend. I have been harboring these negative feelings for so long and I finally laid them out because if our friendship is going to conitinue I need to get them off my chest and move on. However, she has a quick temper and the reason I have held off so long is I am afraid she will end our friendship... which she has threatened to do several times. I always try to make peace and come back but this has been a four year process and I just can't take this non-friendship friendship. We should be able to air our grievances with eachother without worrying if the other is just going to give up and move on. That is a friendship. We both have grievances and I by no means am saintly but this is a first step. Several days have gone by since I sent her the email (sadly our communications have been via email because talking at this point is really tough) and she never responds back. However in her blog yesterday (which she knows I read) she talks about wanting to move away and how she is in a fight with all her friends and even family members and how even her best friend doesn't konw her. sigh. I just don't konw what to do. She seems to be opting to run away and that breaks my heart. It is like losing a family member and she is supposed to be my maid of honor. I am pretty sure I could offer another olive branch but I don't want to settle back into the non-communicative and very uncoforatable, judging space that we have been in. This needs to change and it is now up to her. I am not sure how to handle it. I will have to wait but the maid of honor thing needs to be figured out. I don't know how much time to give her. sigh. But more than that I am sick and shaking over the fact that our friendship may end. Besides all of this she has been a good loyal friend. We shall see. I know this isn't diet related but eh.
Off track a little bit this weekend but back on for the week. I have enjoyed running at night and I want to keep up with it.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, and your project going wrong. But keeping busy... i'm sure you'll see the results on the scale come weigh in time. Good job!
 
Howdy Mishi,
Awww I am sorry about your friend you are a gr8 person and easy person to talk to I don't see whay she can't confied in you and talk over problems instead of running away from her problems.Sorry about your project to me and my hubby doesn't know how to do any household fixing up and we need alot done I can paint lol thats about it haha.I hope you have a gr8 day regardless and it gets better for ya,saty strong girl your kicking butt!I restarted my strict mode again so I can get close to 160's by Oct 27th than I can I am thing no way I can get to 165 but MAYBE just MAYBE 169.5 lol!
Tammy:hug2:
 
sigh

Quitting right now seems so nice. I am in the challenge and yet I have no motivation. TOM visits me every 2 weeks and it is a bitch to ignore those cravings!:( I just keep falling. It is not fair to the team and I feel bad because I am usually the one that can stick to my guns and help motivate others. I have been stuck at this weight so long and I jsut don't have motivation to go down. I want to start running every morning but with all the work everyday of the week I am just exhausted and when I wake up or when I go to bed I am so tired! I just need to kick my butt and do it.
The situation with my friend is at a middle ground right now. We have talked a lot of stuff over and hopefully we can mend our relationship. Just a lot of damage has been done. She is still my maid of honor for now:)
This is killer and I don't feel well. I think I am actually getting sick. I would love to rest but my dad is coming over to visit because he is in town and I thought it would be cool if he came over for dinner... of course that means a flash cleaning and then cooking real food;) lol I just want to go home and go to bed. I hope I can get some rest this weekend and refreash for Monday. I just want to get in the groove and I really want to run everyday. I love it. It's just hard to get my butt out the door!
 
hey sweetie

im sorry your feeling bad. don't worry about the team too much yes its a group challenge and were all supposed to be losing but its more important after all the weight you have lost to maintain your current weight i believe.
Sometimes life is tough and usual exercise and weight loss routines can sometimes take a back seat. As long as your are eating well an can maintain 158 ish i think that's awesome.
Maybe when life slows down and TOM stop being a poohead you will be able to resume the journey to your goal weight easier.

stay smiling mishi :)
 
I know exactly how you feel about being unmotivated. Its understandable. I think you should just suck it up 1 day at a time. And why does your TOM come so often?!?
 
Last Post

ha ha Brandy... because God hates me;) lol there can be no other reason for 2 periods a month! lol j/k. I am trying a new BC and hopefully after my body gets used to it I will get the one a month that is supposed to happen. I have been struggling to find a pill that will balance them out. We shall see if this new one works.
It's been a long time since I posted. A long time and many many calories. I am stuck and I actually gained 6lbs because i just ate crap last week. Had a terrible binge night on Saturday and ate so much crap. i was sick all the next day and I am not sure what did it but it was nasty and awful! Teaches me to go crazy. If it was sugary and bad for me I ate it. So I am starting anew. It is October and I was thinking I would make a new diary. I am tired of this one. There is so much in it and I have really come a long way! HOwever the last 15lbs seems to be whole journey in itself. So I figure it needs it's own diary.
I will edit this post later with the link. I hope you all are doing well and thank you for your continued support. We all need someone to lean on sometimes and this time is definatly now for me!

It's later lol and here's the link: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/weight-loss-diary/15740-mishis-last-fifteen.html#post329334
good bye old diary!
