Mishi's Last Fifteen

Well...

So the pills didn't work out so well. I started breaking out really bad and the vain one in me couldn't handle that. So I stopped after only a few days. It really helped to have them because they helped with the cravings but oh well. So I am back to being on my own:p lol. This weekend I didn't do so well and on Friday I worked out so hard I hurt myself and was laid up all the next day. So Sunday I ran instead of weight lifted and I feel so much better. My weight was up to 167 on Sunday but this morning it is back down to 163! THank god. Must have been the eating pizza and ice cream and we made cookies for the wedding and I just couldn't stop snacking on them! sigh. So yesterday I did well food wise (1600 cals) and exercise. I just hope to keep that going . I am going to cut my plan down to 2 days of weight lifting instead of 3 and up my cardio to 60 minutes instead of 30. Just have to be consistant. My fiancee has said that we will go to the gym together so that will be nice. It's just finding the time. He wanted to go early in the am forgetting that there is no daycare at the gym that early so I wouldn't be able to go. He isn't free until 5:30 at night and that runs into problems with dinner and bedtime and whatnot but we will make it work. There is only 3.5 weeks left. I am resigned. If I could only get down to what I was this summer (157). We shall see. I am a bit stressed today. there is so much to do! Still have to make the bridemaids presents and get the house cleaned! There is so much in the garage and there is a lot of construction stuff. sigh. whine :nopity:
There is a bag of candy I have to give away right now or I will dip into it!
HOpe you all are doing well. Good luck to us all this week!
 
Doing well just can't screw up!

So yesterday was a good day. I ate well and I went to the gym. I felt a bit sick last night and couldn't finish dinner but came in with a respectable 1260 cals. A bit low but that gives me some leeway today to up my calories. Today is weight lifting. My weight has come back down thank god. It is down to 162.4 as of this morning. I just have to stay strong. I get a few good days and then I relax and let go and fold to cravings. It goes so well at the beginning of the week to. I only have 4 weeks. I can do that! Just have to stay motivated. If I could lose and inch in my waist that would be phenomenal but anything would be good. even if it is just toning. Tommorow is my fiancee's birthday so I am assuming tommorow won't be a gym day and there might be some temptation. I am in a good mood today. It is nice to see efforts pay off on the scale. :party: I was a bit freaked to see the 167. So close to the 170's that I left so long ago! I couldn't stand going back up! I have worked too hard. It seems like it is really a consitant struggle. If I let myself relax I slip very easily back into bad habits. I am wondering how long it will feel like a struggle. It is definatly easier than it was 8 months ago but I figured I would have it in the bag by now.
sigh:banghead:
4 more weeks! I am excited:) Lots to do and I am having bad dreams about the wedding just from stress. Just wish I had more time in the week. Really until Friday there is no time.
Hope you all are having a good week. lol y'all in my empty diary. sigh just gotta show love to get it and I just have no time! After January things should calm down! I promise I will visit more then!!!:ack2: If I don't keel over;) lol
 
Hey there...I couldn't even imagine the stress of planning a wedding - let alone as fast as yours...I just wish I could find someone...Ive been single this time around for 3 yrs - well even longer...since before I had my youngest and prior to that I raised my oldest alone for like 7 or 8 yrs...put raisin the kids and workin seem to be all I really have time for or the desire to do ... it is enough for now...

Those dresses are beautiful - and the price isnt bad at all...Im glad to hear about your weight...sucky abt the gym and such and it not working out for both of you to go together...

Im sure you can rehit your 157 by the wedding:):):)

Sorry I havent been doing diaries - Ive just been stinkin busy with work and when I get the odd day off it is packed with everyhtign else I need to get done...
 
:grouphug: "MISHI,
You are always my #1 diary that I stop by,but I have been so dealing with crap and being stressed to where I would hop on mine and not check any other's.Anyway Yay for the scale heading back down,your still doing gr8 even with all the planning,buying,thinking,working,mothering,geeeesh the list can keep going on and on lol.How is everything coming together?I am sure it is going to look beautiful,I can't wait to see you in your dress!
Oh yeah,I will being sending xmas cards out this weekend when I get paid.
Well have a gr8 night and you can do it girl!:party:
 
stay strong stay strong!

I did well yesterday. 1500 calories and I went to my workout class. After watching BL I am a bit more conscious of my salt intake and because yesterday was on the run there was takeout food. I thought I did well with my grilled chicken sandwich which is only 320 calories but the sodium is 900mg! + I had a grilled snack wrap to get me energy for my workout! 850mgs! It's crazy! There is so much to be aware of when you are trying to watch what you are eating. However it is all paying off. I am down to 161.4 as of this morning which is the lowest I have been all month!!!:coolgleamA: I actually match my ticker!! for the first time in a month!
So tonight is a testing night. It's my fiance's birthday and he wants Ragin Shrimp which is cajun with lots of butter and bread to temp me with. I will have to modify the amount I eat! They serve brown rice which is good. I just have to be careful of the sauce!
Tammy no worries! You have enough on your plate. Though I love to see your shining face in my diary I know your first priority has to be you! I look forward to the xmas cards. I think I found mine in the garage:p I just have to get some time to look through the box!!
cinderelly- Hi! I am glad you had some time to visit! It is so hard for me to get to diaries! There is so much to do and usually work is just too busy for me to jump on the computer and I totally understand! 2 kiddos and work is so much! I just have one kiddo and he takes up so much of my time with just him! Thank you for your support! I am working hard! Hope your having a good week and don't forget to take time for yourself... Tammy that goes to you too!
I have to get back to work. I hope you all have a good day and with me luck for tonight. My willpower has not been to good when faced with choice!!
 
the amount of sodium in foods is astounding sometimes -and it never ceases to amaze me that people also reach for the salt cellar as well... more habit than taste i suppose... :)

way to go for ticker matching :) yay for you :D
 
I did it!!!

lol I stayed strong last night! Even when hubby went out for eggnog as his birthday treat and had cookies and I was so craving SOMETHING to tied em over but I was good!!:party: I just picked a pack of sugar free gum:) So cals were in the 1200 range which was a bit low but I have leeway to eat a bit more today which will be good:)
So this morning I was rewarded with a 160.2 on the scale! Almost to the 150's (again) lol. I am very excited. My goal of fitting comfortably in my dress seems possible now:) I am going tommorow to buy tummy squeezy things and some fun stuff for the night:beating: and then going to the alterations place to get the dress fitted! I am very excited:) Lots to do! I finished the bridesmaids presents. I was worried because I am poor but I ended up getting really pretty fake diamond necklace and earring sets from Avon for $10 each. To disguise their cheapness I am going to present them in handmade cards. They are pretty and don't look cheap for sure! I hope it works!
Thank you Mal. I don't really salt my food... unless it's like a baked potatoe and then only a pinch! I hate salty foods... but yet one of my favorite snacks is tortilla chips and salsa but if I eat too much salt I get sick! So that keeps me on the straight and narrow.... except for the hidden sodium in fast foods!!!:banghead: lol
Hope you all have a good weekend if I don't get back here:) Wish me luck! Maybe by Monday I will be in the 150's again! :D
 
Nice bridesmaid gift -and a practical one too - and thoughful too -one they'll get a lot of use out of...

I still have the fake diamond earrings from a wedding I was in over 15 years ago - the fake diamonds actually lasted longer than the marriage did :D

150s would be very cool :) you 'll get there...
 
Hey you - good job on tha tcontrol - you did awesome - usually when I am on a roll I can resist:D:D:D

That is sweet abt the bridesmaid gifts...it isnt abt the money it is abt the thought...the kids and i haven't had money to spare for years...and im not exaggerating...we always make xmas giftys for those closest to us and who need appreciating and we always get great reviews...

I will check in soon - good job with your weight!!!
 
Hello Mishi,
Your doing so awesome and way to go on that
self control lastnight!ALSO CONGRATS on "160"....
I did something simalar I bought all my bridesmaids a gift from claires
to match there dresses,it was a tear drop necklace w/earings for like
about $8-10 they loved it. I had a bunch of squeezy thingys on my wedding
day and I felt like I was going to pop lol I was trying to hide 255 lbs hmmmm
didn't work haha.Anyway your going to look so beautiful,and you don't need any squeezy things lol.Have a wonderful night Tammy
 
Omg:(

So yesterdays search for squeezy things just went awry. One of the bridesmaids didn't receive her dress and so we had to go pick it up at this place in the middle of nowhere that they couldn't give us directions to without the tracking number and the message we had the tracking number on was so fast that it was really hard to understand!! It took us an hour and 1/2 to find the place!!! by then most of the day had slipped by somehow. So we decided to get my dress and take both dresses to the seamstress (I was slightly happy at this point because I get to try on my dress:) ). So we get there and I am loving my dress and get that all taken care of and then the measurements for my friend in Amsterdam taken care of and the only bad news is the company had sent my friend a size 0 instead of a size 6!!! So we rush back to the store and thankfully find the lady who works with the celebrations line and does measurements so we were just going to order a 6. She urged my friend to try on some dresses to make sure what we ordered would fit. So we did and my friend is only like 4 foot something and these dresses don't come in petite. She tried on dresses all the way up to a 10 until they fit!!! It was awful! She was almost in tears and just called herself fat and beat on herself. I was frantic. This girl is wearing a size 5 jean. She just carries all her weight in her tummy and the dresses cling badly to rolly skin! I was so upset that she was upset! So we order the 10 and the seamstress will make it fit right but the whole thing was just an awful experiance and took 5 hours!!
So I didn't get any shopping done. I think to console myself I bought a necklace that I had hoped would go with my snowflake earrings but it doesn't. So I will return it but some of me is thinking that I won't wear my earrings and I will buy this other really pretty pearl necklace with earrings. My future hubby really liked the pearls.
So when I got home we went out to eat and I tried really hard to resist the craving to cave and have something awful for me. I had a huge dinner but I had only had 500 calories for the whole day and would have eaten my booth cushion by then! So the grand total for the day was 1640 calories. Which is good. I needed a higher day to offset the 1200 days. I want to bounce my calories around and have 1 to 2 higher days a week. However I was rewarded yesterday with a 158 on the scale!! That is only 1 lb away for what I will be happy with for the wedding. The dress was still a bit tight but didn't look like I was going to bust the seams. I am just happy to see the hard work pay off because watching what you eat is really hard work!!!! THere is so much that goes into it! I am glad I have been able to stay strong. I will really need to stick to my guns for the next few weeks. My prize for being good is Christmas feasting and going to Chili's and getting this white chocolate cake with gooey white chocolate baked into it. Oh god it looks so good!!! but you know what I find a lot of the time is that the thing looks so good but then tastes just sort of blah... but I still end up eating all of it! Very strange.
:seeya: Howdy cinderelly and nia! I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!
Only 3 weeks left!!!
 
2 weeks 5 days....

lol. So all my titles from now on will be countdowns;) he he he. I am very excited. Though there is so much to do I am in my last 2 weeks of work before I get off to plan and get the wedding together. There is a lot to do this week but I am ready and getting organized. This weekend was tough on the weight and I am back up to 163. However when i splurge like that (cake testing this wekend) I usually go down pretty fast when I get back on it. So I am hoping to be in the 150's this week again. sigh. Just like a yo yo!
However I did get to do some shopping this weekend and was able to get a corset that takes an inch off my waist!!! So if worst comes to worst I can squeeze myself in... or just go as I am now. I am pretty relaxed about the whole thing. I will still go to the gym this week and next and I am gong to watch my food. I wll be fine though.With all the other stress it's hard for me to really stress about this. Had fun shopping for wedding night things:) Got some pretty thigh high tights and they are size small!!!! The lady at the store looked at the package and asked how tall I was. I said 5'3" and she asked "are you 125 lbs?" HA!!!! lol yeah right. So I told her no 160 but she had me try the small on anyway and lo and behold they fit. I am truly shocked and rather happy.
So it goes. My dress will be ready on the 14th. I need to get the rings cleaned, the roses ordered, and the house cleaned.... sure I think that's it but I am sure there is more!
We shall see.
I am very excited though!
Have a good week all!
 
Howdy Mishi,
OMG sounds like my kind of cake lol!Have you ever had the BLONDIE from applebees omg it is to die for,it is this square italian cake with ice cream and walnuts and then you pour over it hot maple butter sauce I swear best ever!OK NOW LOOK :drool5: HAHAHA.
WOW what a NICE comment 125 that is awesome I would have kissed her feet for that 1,but then again you are looking fraking skinny these days.Hope you have a wonderful day Tammy
 
Busy tired and bitchy

sigh. I am sucking on eating the right things. No exercise can be done this week because we are getting the house ready for inspection. I stayed up all night waiting for a bridesmaids dress to be delivered that never was. I am back up to 165:(. Things just suck suck suck right now.... I will have to restart next week and just hope for the best. It is amazing how one can be so up one week and so down the next!:ack2:
 
:party: Woooohhhhh almaost time to for "HERE COMES THE BRIDE ALL DRESSED IN WHITE LOOKING BEAUTIFUL AS EVER!!!!!!!
Like mal said HAPPY THOUGHTS you need to put the calorie counting on the back burner for now and get ready for YOUR big day,you have done so awesomely gr8 and you look awesome,as long as your dress fits,there are no worries!HAVE A GR8 WEEKEND TAMMY:grouphug:
 
1 week 6 days

There is so little time left! I am very excited but also stressed and what is my favorite thing to do when stressing??? EAT!! OMG I am still not back in the house and we have been eating out every night! I haven't been able to control myself at all. It is getting bad:( I get so full that my incision from the surgery I had last Martch is hurting from being stretched. Sigh. I feel very out of control and though I should just breathe and take it easy it is hard. I am up to 165 right now and I don't fit well in my dress:(. I am going to try to be good at least for the next 13 days! There is so much to do and next week is finals week. I have one done and there are 5 more to do! Lots of work. Also we are taking classes for getting married so we have a book to go through and 3 meetings with the pastor. We are excited to do that but more stuff just getting piled on. Sigh. At least I am off after this week! :party:
Thank you Mal and NIa:) I will have this in the bag soon and the wedding is shaping up to be wonderful! Paul's mom is going crazy buying stuff for the wedding and decorating her house. We fianlly agreed on where to have the pictures done and have figured out the order of the ceremony. We need to get the flowers ordered and figure out the rest of it lol. I feel that there are details I can't remember.
So I am off to get things done. Wish me luck! ONLY 13 DAYS TO GO!
 
1 week 4 days

I am very excited! I had a bad bad weekend food wise but OMG it was sooooo gooood! I finally had one of those white chocolate things from Chili's and even though I said there is some foods that look so good but when you actually eat them they aren't as good as they look.... this was better!!!:drool5: omg it was fabulous! I am very happy:D lol
So this week is starting off rocky. The ex informed me on Saturday that he had been unemployed for the last 6 weeks and he was moving to Denver in 3 weeks to live with his mom because the job market here sucked. He says he wants to spend more time with his son but during this whole time he never asked for more time with him when he was sitting on his ass!:cuss: I am so mad! so I filed the paper work with the state yesterday to get him to pay child support. It is just a mess and really bad timing. However my wonderful husband to be has said that we can use the money we got from his mom and the wedding to get a lawyer to take him to court. I want full custody and to make sure he can't take my son. sigh. It is just a mess:(
HOwever, I am trying not to worry about it until after the wedding. Just have to keep moving along. I got sick yesterday so I am just trying to take it easy. No gym this week. I don't want to over extend myself and I want to get better before next week! So lots of tea and rest for me.... at work lol.
My sweetie knew how stressed I was and bought me a gift certificate for a massage:) I made my appointment on Friday. I am very excited for some relaxation!
So on and on. Even after my horrible weekend I am at 163.4. I was shocked. Just a few days left!! 11 to be exact. Yipppeeeee! :)
 
What a sweet heart of a man you're going to marry and good luck with with the custody... :D

11 days to go - how wonderfully exciting... :D
