Brandy's Success Diary

Its only 5 pm...but I haven't exercised yet today. I am going to...just it will probably be later tonight. I have a lot that needs to get done for Monday, and tomorrow is Easter so I won't have a lot of time to complete it tomorrow. I have to catch up on Match homework and class notes because I have missed about a month or more worth of classes!! And I missed 1 test...but it was because I was in the hospital one day. I have to start attending class again. Because this is getting ridiculous and I don't want to have a failing mark bring down my GPA. I've already had that happen in an English class.

Food today:

Breakfast-sleeping.
Lunch- 1/3 of a Kai Kaprow. (spicy chicken and rice) Thai food.
Dinner- Japanese food from last night. Chicken Teriyaki with a bit of rice.

I guess I shouldn't have the rice...but the total amount is pretty minimal. Lots of protein too!!!
 
Yay for looking great for the evening in the pretty new shirt and perfect make-up! :hurray: Yay for Dan and the pants that look good!:hurray:

Rice is ok - good for you even as long as the amount isn't too big - and it wasn't - so that's not an issue!

It sounds like your weight has finished up great for the week - a little TOM inspired blip doesn't count.
 
I took the day off from school today because I got NO sleep last night. I have had a migraine that just WONT go away, not to mention the TOM cramps. So I didn't go to school today...and instead got some sleep. I haven't exercised today...which is bumming me out.

Food so far today:

1 bowl of cheddar and broccoli soup
3 mini chocolates
4 chicken fingers
lemon water

I am aiming to do about 100 minutes per day through Thursday.

I hope that it helps with the weight I've gained from TOM.

Goal this week: 211... can I do it? I sure hope so.

I spent a while exercising. Its really hard during TOM for me to work up a lot of energy. I'll just have to push and fight through it!

1 hour of yoga done.
15 minutes of strength done.

I still need to find 25 more minutes of stuff to do... probably more strength. I'm not sure if I have the energy to do much cardio today. i have walked a decent amount. But I can't count it because it was around the mall and parking lot.

I am excited to lose weight for my anniversary. I have 9 more weeks before my anniversary... and 23 more pounds. It is sort of pushing it. But I might work all that much harder. By 190 I will be able to fit into my size 14's... which will greatly increase my wardrobe. Because I have lots of size 14's around...and quite a few 13's.

I've really been looking forward to my goals...because they all have great dates to go along with it.
The first one I set for myself would have been easier to reach if I didn't slack for 2 weeks because I was sick. But I REALLY want to push to achieve this. I can definitely do it... but I'm going to have to work my hardest...and NOT slack. 190 by May 27th.

And I want to be 175 by The last week in July. I have a vacation to go on... and last year I was really heavy. I saw pictures of myself... and I was horribly disgusted by them. This year I want to be able to go on walks every morning... swim all day, and make healthy choices. Last year I made AWFUL food choices when I was there. I have developed so much in that aspect. I didn't even care last summer. I would sit and read instead of swim and run around. I wouldn't go around the campground in the mornings despite being invited by some of the other girls. This year I'll go around a lot. I'll go jogging plenty!

Well... I'm just going to go find more exercises to do before my night's over.

Hi ya sweetness! Sorry that nasty migraine kept you up the other night. :( I know you'll get in your exercise, regardless. :hurray: I am pulling for you to get into those size 14s by your anniversary. I'm sure you will if you keep up all the great work. :cheers2:
 
I sprained my ankle yesterday. It sucks because I wanted to go running today. But my ankle hurts too badly to do that. So I am going to do a lot of strength training, yoga, and Pilates.

My food isn't AMAZING... but I think its pretty good. :D

I've done 20 minutes of working my arms so far. LOT more to come.
 
My food today has just been absolutely awful...and no exercise to boot. UGH. Tomorrow will be better. I have almost everything planned out.
 
I had hurt my ankle...but today it is almost 100% better. I can walk on it again! I am at my mother's house this weekend dog & house sitting. I have a lot that I need/want to get done today. And I think I have time for it!!!

I need to catch up on math homework
Study for a mid-term exam.
Go on a walk... I want to get in about an hour to 2 hours of exercise in today
I need to do some dishes for me mom


I think that's it. Its really all I can think of. lol.

Math homework will probably take 2 or 3 hours to catch up on.
Studying will probably take another hour
Exercise- 2 hours.
Dishes/cleaning.... probably 1 hour.

thats 9 hours of stuff!!! And thats not including time to eat.

Food so far today has been pretty scarce.
I had a Green Giant Simply Steam garden vegetable medley (sugar snap peas, roasted potatoes, and red peppers with garden herbs) It was only 100 calories! But I really need to think of some other things to eat today. I think I will munch on grapes while I do my work.

Dan is at work right now, and I would like to get a lot of stuff done before he comes home...but he won't be home until 10 pm probably- if not later. Stupid work!!!

Well, I am in a great mood... and would love to sit and type forever about whats on my mind... but I can't. FAR too much to get done!!!
 
I just took a 10 minute jog around my house while my food was in the oven. I think I made 60 laps between my living room and kitchen (i ran in a circle) lol. I feel good now!

Let me know if you come up with anything. I still haven't found anything to stop me from boredom eating and I am open to suggestions. Have a good weekend Brandy.
Click to expand...

I know it helps to go on a walk, or get involved with doing something else...so youre no longer bored... but sometimes.... nothing helps me. lol.
 
I just danced around the house for 20 minutes. It made a great way to stop myself from eating for no reason. I worked up quite a sweat. I have drinken 6 cups of water so far today. I still have 2 more to go for my goal. My food plan did not work today. AT ALL. I think its because I'm at my mother's house... and there is nothing but snacky crap foods. So... thats what I ate. But the 30 minutes of exercise today made me feel good. And I'm still trying to drink as much water as possible. This week's goal is to get to 210. Totally possible as long as I don't screw up EVERY DAY.

Tomorrow's food will be better!! Because I know I won't be snacking all damn day! I have plenty of grapes for tomorrow..plus the kiwi!!

I'm in a great mood... even though I'm disappointed in the unhealthy foods today. I don't even understand why I do it...because it disgusts me!! I have to figure this out!!! Even if it took me 3 weeks to lose and keep off 4 pounds... I'm ok. I know its going to stay off. I feel better and better about myself as I wake up every day....and set my mind to "think thin".
 
It is a beautiful day, and I am happy to have a semi-empty schedule. I am still at my mother's house dogsitting. I will be going home tonight. For breakfast I had 20 green grapes and 2 cups of water. For lunch I had sesame chicken with rice (not that healthy I know...but ok compared to the other options I had... like pizza.) and I also had a few sips of Mountain Dew. I came home and just drank another 2 cups of water. Its a little after 3 pm. I think I will go watch TV and stretch/exercise and drink another 2 -4 cups of water. Then take a walk with one of my mother's 5 dogs!

I have a final tomorrow that I need to study for. But I can do that when I get home. (my mom will be driving me home because Dan took my car to work) Then after I study I think I will start cleaning. I need to get MAJOR cleaning done before the ants come back. lol. I'm terrified of ants!! I don't want to see any in my room!!! Well... I guess I do have a lot of stuff that I need to get done...but it will be sort of relaxed pace.

I keep thinking of getting down to 210 this week!!!
 
30 minutes of doing random things. Dancing, yoga moves, pilates moves, jumping jacks, push ups, etc.

Well... I'm behind on exercise for the week so far. Only 60 minutes so far. I will add more to it. NO PROBLEMS- I have plenty of time to finish my goal time. I am going on 10 cups of water now! I want to get around 105 ounces. So.... around 13 cups. That will be easy for me today!
 
I'm not feeling the best today. I am tired of what I look like. I'm sick of the puffiness. Sick of the round face. Sick of myself! I'm happy that I am losing weight. But today.... I just don't feel pretty. :(

Food today: medium ice coffee from Dunkin Donuts. Cream and 3 sweet and low.
10:30 am: 1 package of Ramen. I know its not too healthy...but I still didn't mind. I'm not going overboard with anything.

My totals for today:

Totals 1496calories 54fat 204carbs 56protein

I need to lower my fat. Its so high because I had a plate of Fettucini Alfredo for dinner.

I now have a fitday account, and an account on another sight that gives me a workout schedule. I'm not sure how good the sight is yet, I just stumbled upon it from google.

is the sight if you feel like looking. It is starting me out pretty slow. Walking 45 minutes 4 days a week, and then strength training 2 days a week, and taking 1 day off. If I am up to it I will add more off course. I feel like my motivation is REALLY low today, as well as my self-esteem. So I've been google-ing things to make me more motivated. What I need is accountability in person. But I don't have that. I've been searching for a while now... and there is a lot of stuff online about getting motivated and sticking with it. I'll find something to work with me.

Today I did 20 minutes of strength training.

This past weekend I ate ALL crap, and gained 3 pounds. But its all off again. And I can still get down another pound or two in the next 3 days.

I just got out of the shower. I haven't eaten anything yet. But I am going to get dressed, find something small but healthy to have for lunch, catch up on Math homework/studying, strength training exercises for 15-30 minutes, and then going on a 45 minute walk. Later tonight I am going to the movies and then out to dinner at Bertucci's for Mother In Law's Birthday. I am going to go online and find something healthy off the menu... it shouldn't be hard; because I used to work there!

Well.. I'm off to make sure I get everything completed!!
