Mishi's Still Kicking

Hey im still here to chicky:)

I realized I drop by and read alot but never post so how are you even supposta know im visitin - LOL...geeesh...

Yup givin up not an option:)The idea of eatin what you want when you want as much as you want is a nice though however we know what happens when we do that:)

Just keep on going and eventually your reclickin and refocusing and remotivation will pick uyou up and put you in the fast lane...till then one day one meal one snacka dn one work out at a time:)

Oh andwhy not join a challenge ? I joined Bikinbounds Biggest loser Challenege and it totally got me on track and ya know what she is very good at those challeneges and comes up with great idea and bonuses and exercise is on going - It totally got me moving as much as possible again:)
 
I said, be good! :flame:

If what you have isn't working, let's talk about it and figure out something else. A lifestyle change needs to be sustainable. :)
 
At least you can recover

I am feeling much better today. Yesterday was crazy busy! The end of the grading period is coming up so everything is winding down but it's still just nuts! I have done well on my cals though. I read Mals sticky in one of the other sections here and it just broke down all the Fats, Carbs, and Protein info. It was really helpful... I may need to read it again though it was long!! lol I also read about calories and again calculated what I should be eating to maintain and lose. I know that 1200 calories is just too low for me.... but it gets results so fast!! According to the calculations I did I need 2334 calories to maintain the weight I want to be (150) and to lose I cut 30% and that brings me to 1634 which means I am eating way under my calories. So I am trying to work my way up. I am already back down to 168 as of this morning ( I had gone up to 172!) and yesterday I had a respectable 1434 calories. I have been trying to eat more during the day and stay away from bad stuff at night. I am certainly chewing lots of gum to try to stay away from snacking!!! So I will figure it out. I may not win the Body Transformation Challenge but this is a mind transformation and if I get that then I will win anyway:D lol
Thanks Brandy! I hope it won't take 5 years but if I think about it I have been on this road for almost 4 years!! That is when I first started to lose weight and I have come so far! I will stay strong:) btw I thought it was cool to see what you look like finally with your before pics:) I love being able to put faces to names! Hope your doing well!
Hi Cinderelly! I am glad that even with the bitching and moaning you still come around;) lol I did join the Body Transformation challenge but for some reason, even though I am a competitive person I just deflate for challenges. They put a lot of pressure on me and though that is good sometimes to be challenged when pressure from the rest of my life builds up it just creates a lot of stress and unhealthy habits.... however I have completed almost every challenge I have been in!! Maybe not successfully but certainly saw it through!! lol Maybe in the summer when I have more time I will join something else but I think for now one is good:D
[Focus]- glad to see you:) I know you said to be good but your allllll the way over there--------> and over here there was ice cream!!!:eek: lol and we should all know by now what I do with that! :banghead: he he he. You are spot on though. I need something that is sustainable. I can do great and lose so much with a low cal diet but it just can't be maintained for me and I will eventually gain it back. So I am trying to keep my cals up which is a lot harder when your not cheating! My goal is 1,600 a day and to keep up with walking for now. As my car is in the shop I have had a hard time getting to the gym but when it comes back I will commit to the gym a few times a week:)
Thank you all and hope my commenting readers as well as the non-commenting ones have a fabulous day!!!!

P.S.- for those of you who pray please give me a shout out for my car!! I am hoping it is something relatively inexpensive and quick to fix! Thanks:D
 
The total body challenge one. I haven't seen the pic in your diary.... I usually check those at work and the pics don't show because they are blocked:p
 
I hate those pics you saw. THey make me miserable just looking at them! I know my body looks that bad...but I like to think I have a decent looking face...and my face does NOT look the way it did on those pics. Check out the one in my diary from when I was like 155lbs.
 
i hate looking at the pictures i posted of myself, too (((((((((hugs)))))))))
 
Brandy I remember when you had your face on your avatar and you are beautiful! I know my pics looked awful too and I don't look like that but you have to take it with a grain of salt and know that not all pics are flattering and as before pics these work really well. You look fine!! It's just your critical eye... I have one too;) Posting pics is hard and I am impressed with all of us who posted them in public for that challenge! You will do great and those pics will be a thing of the past!!! :hug2:
 
First off Mishi and Brandy you are both beautiful gals and congrats
and congrats on sighning up for the big challange may the best gal win
and we all be winners at losing lol if that makes since!Mishi you are dipping
back down in those 160's again and pretty soon 150's will be beating down your door
again.Have a happy thursday Tammy:party:
 
Success!

Ok well it's only the first day but I had to do an experiment. I have really been wanting to up my calories but still lose weight. I just can't do the 1200 cals a day. Not for long anyway. So yesterday I had a pretty substantial dinner and it knocked my calories up to 1600. I resisted the urge to go overboard because I figured I had screwed myself. So I decided to see what my weight was the next morning. I expected to gain but to my surprise I went from 168.8 to 167.4! More than a pound! I am shocked and a bit happy. It has been hard for me to eat more when I am trying to go hard core! :party: So hopefully this trend keeps going. I had 1400 calories tonight and some darn good cheesy chicken and broccoli at soup! lol I love this meal planning thing! So we shall see how it goes. I am just keeping my fingers crossed because I need something that works! On a side note I think this meal had some high sodium but I am not sure. I think I calculated over 2,000mg for the whole thing but I had like 4 servings.....but I just don't know. Not used to that much sodium! lol Ok then hope you all have a good night!
Thank you Tammy:) You are a good friend as always. I still stick by my word that nobody can pick apart your flaws better than you.
Brandy you ARE beautiful and ok I sort of think I am good looking;) lol but either way we will feel better as we lose this weight!!!
As always keep on keepin' on! :)
 
I'm happy that you can eat more and still lose weight. Congratulations! Chicken and broccoli soup sounds AWESOME. My favorite soups are Progresso Hardy Penne (which is pretty much chicken noodle soup without the chicken. Canned chicken sort of grosses me out) and cheddar and broccoli soup.

Have a happy saturday!
 
Damn I am sick!!!

So I guess it's my turn to be under the weather. The flu has been running around my son's school and it was really only a matter of time. I started getting sick yesterday and a day of shopping for food just wore me out! But at least the fridge is stocked and I was happy to buy raspberries and grapes! I love snacking on fruit:) Yesterday I was good at 1400 calories but I as I got sicker I really wanted something to soothe my throat. I went a bit overboard and I think I wanted something to soothe how bad I felt! So I delved into the Ramen noodles... a few packs and then I had my honey make me some malt o meal.... except he makes it with lots of sugar and butter.... It was really good and made me feel better but my calories were pushed up to 2,900!! sigh. However, my body much have needed it because this morning I woke up a pound down! I hate being sick.
Thank you Brandy:) not the weekend I expected but at least I get to take a day off tomorrow:p
Hope you all enjoy your Sunday!
 
Sorry you feel sick. But WOW. 2900 calories and you went down a pound!?!? Congratulations! Just don't get used to those results!! lol. Enjoy your day off today and tomorrow and get plenty of rest!
 
Argg I feel like Sh**!

I hate being sick. Not that anyone looks forward to it for sure but I hate the feeling that your life just stops because you can't do anything! I have the flu. It's kicking my butt. I am one of those crazy people who don't get flu shots. I also don't get the flu very often.... actually I can't remember the last time so I never really felt it was necessary. I called into work today which should be a good thing.. yay no work! but what's the point when all I can do is lay around and feel like crap!!!:rant:
So the good news, for there is usually some somewhere, is that apparently being sick burns calories:D lol and my weight is dropping. Even after my 2900 calorie day followed by a 1600 calorie day I have gone down. Almost to 165 and I am keeping my fingers crossed for the weigh in tomorrow!
I was bad yesterday and asked my hubby to get me something sweet. He came back with a piece of french silk pie from one of our local bakeries. Yum!! I was VERY good and only took one bite last night and one this morning. If I am good I can make that pie last all week!!! lol;) My regimen today is hot tea and lots and lots of water disguised as crystal light. Also need to stay away from dairy products as much as possible. Just makes me all stuffy and blah!
Hi Brandy! No kidding. Imagine eating 3,000 calories a day and still losing weight!:angel:
Hope you all have a good day! I am hoping to be back to work by Wednesday! I don't want to lay around here all week!:banghead:
 
Happpy Monday!!!!OR NOT LOL!!!!!We are getting ready to have
a MAJOR SNOW STORM yuck...I so can't wait until spring.Anyway
your doing gr8 have a nice day,Tammy:grouphug:
 
Not dead yet

Just checking in to say hello. This cold is kicking my butt!!! I tried to go to work today but I am not feeling to hot. I will be going home in 2 hours and then I am calling in for tomorrow. I feel so wimpy. I am not used to calling in and staying home sick. When my son is sick it's one thing but I am not used to taking off so much time. At least I don't get the flu that often. Yesterday was a low calorie day. I just didn't feel like eating much. So the day topped out at a little over 1100 calories. I don't feel too bad about that because of all the higher days. It all evens out and keeps my metabolism guessing;) Weight is 165.0 today. Still going down about a half pound a day. I am not sure why it's going down so fast. My only guess is that not only am I burning calories because I am sick but also because I gained the weight relativly quickly over the holidays now that I am watching what I eat again it is returning to "normal" more quickly.... just no idea but thank god. As soon as I am feeling better I will start walking again but I don't want to over do it now and get worse so all extra activity has stopped.
We'll see. For now I can just pray for sleep. I look like Bozo the Clown with my bright red nose from all the blowing!:p
Hope you are having a much better week!!
 
Hello Mishi,
Yucky sounds like a touch of what I had,not really
puking but tummy upset,not really hungry,nothing sound good,just
wanted to sleep all day and night.Anyway GIRL I see 165 awesome
another 2 lbs goner..Have a nice Happy Valentines day Tammy
 
Happy Freakin' Valentines!

Well this Valentine's Day is a bit of a bust. My son was throwing up at school so had to come home and missed his party. Poor thing. I woke up 3lbs heavier and with my face all swollen up! I made a doctors appointment today. Even if she just tells me it's the flu and there is nothing I can do at least I'll know. So we are all home sick today. lol family togetherness at the very least!
I was stumped by the scale this morning. All I can think is I drank lots of water and maybe had lots of salt yesterday. I just don't know.
Oh well right now getting well is going to be my main focus!
Happy Valentines day all!! I hope you have good ones and congrats again Tammy on reaching the 160's!!!
 
Sorry you are sick! Get well soon (you and your son) Don't worry about the scale. And happy Valentine's Day!
