OH my goodness. I haven't been by is SO long. 9 days?? That is amazingly DUMB of me. I was really sick, and as soon as I started getting better... I got sick again. It was horrible. Then this past weekend was my birthday weekend. It was amazing. I will be posting pictures soon enough. Later tonight probably, if not tomorrow morning. Now that birthday celebrations are over, I'm back on my diet track. I got my own laptop for my birthday, so I can come on here much more easily, without having to push poor Danny off his computer! lol. Wow.. I'm finally 20. That feel so weird for me to say. I'm still planning on doing the 1600 calories a day, and 500 calories worth of exercise per day. I still have a cough and I'm still stuffy, so I might start out with just 30 minute walk every day. And trust me, I'll be updating more often
Thank you thank you thank you. I'm so happy to finally be 20. Its so weird to say that!
Thanks Karl! I'm back now. Sorry for the delay... sickness then birthday, I went from barely moving to barely sitting!
I did! Thanks for stopping by Michelle!
I've eaten horribly, and just not cared lately. Its an awful feeling. I don't think I went over calorie intake horribly, but I've had bad choices, and VERY little exercise because I was bedridden most of the time I was sick.
Thanks for stopping by. I was busy being sick, and under a pile of books I call homework. Then my birthday weekend came, and I was running between home and my dad's house, and my mom's house. It was crazy. I'll stop by your diary later tonight or tomorrow morning.Hey Brandy, I got slammed with two exams this week and work so I haven't been able to post much. So now that it's over I thought I'd come by and see how you're doin. Looks like you're busy too so drop me a line when you get a chance~Lisa
Thank you for stopping by! I really hope this plan will work for me.
The weather was GORGEOUS! Still is!! I have been enjoying it lately. I love the foliage. Unfortunately I missed part of it when I was sick (around the time you left the message). lol.
Oh jeez michelle. I wish it was business taking me away! I need money so bad I should me running around parking lots finding change people drop. I am back now, and I have to dust my knees off, cough the last of the mucus out of my lungs, and get back on the weight loss horse.Hello stranger!! I hope you are doing alright. You are a busy girl so hopefully it's business taking you away. Hope you come back soon!! Have a great weekend
Happy birthday...welcome to the not so terrible 2's
hope you have a blast..
Thank you thank you thank you. I'm so happy to finally be 20. Its so weird to say that!
Thanks Lisa! I love that picture! I used to have a cat that looked just like that, and I love cake (hence why I'm a baker).Happy Birthday Brandy
Stop in when you can...

Tomorrow is all planned out, and I think it is going to go well. I'm not sure what to do for breakfast, but lunch is going to be BBQ chicken breast and summer squash. Snacks will either be apples or oranges. I will go on a 30 minute walk sometime during the day, start a new fitday or or spark people account, register to vote, and go to my class from 1 to 4.
Wish me luck. I'll do my best. Day 1. Back to day 1, step one.

I think that I need to make decisions the night before what I am going to eat for my meals and snacks, so I can stick to something. So I know exactly what to reach for when I go to eat a meal. I am in a great mood, and Dan wants to lose weight to fit into his snowboarding clothes this winter, so I think he might be a help this time.

I'm back, and will probably fill up this journal with every thought running through my head. I'm just in that sort of mood. I need to look for a good challenge to start around here.

I don't really know what to write.. just that I love this forum, and it has done a lot for me. I have met some GREAT people on this forum since I started. Most of them are still here, some have disappeared into oblivion. I have been eating pretty healthy. I'm going to pick up my little sister from kindergarten today, and Dan and I are going to take her to the park to play ball and stuff. Then I'll be going out to dinner with my father. EEK. lol. I went into work last night 5:30 to 9:30. I stayed up until 2am though, so I didn't bother going to class. one time won't hurt. My boss "talked" to me last night saying I wasn't focused enough, blah blah blah. So she said she'd give me more hours if I started being more focused. OK Ok... I sucked it up, even though I would have liked to defend myself saying that its NOT whats been going on. I was REALLY sick for the past 2 weeks that I was there. I went home EVERY Day. So ummm... I need to be given a break. Whatever. I really need the hours, so I plan on sucking it up, shutting my mouth while I am there, and working as fast as I can. Its all i can do, I need the money. So, I think things are going well again. I am going to watch a TV show I missed on YouTube, take my shower and get ready, and then pick up my little sister. This isn't an entry too much about weight loss....just whats on my mind.

Well Jeez. Today was amazing. Food was bad.. like it usually has been lately. I really need to practice discipline. lol. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me, so hopefully that will keep the food out of my mouth. lol. I will wake up early and eat cereal for breakfast, probably a sandwich on whole wheat bread for lunch, and for dinner I will be at work, so I probably won't eat. Instead I will probably make myself a small fruit salad when I get home or something. Since I need all the damn money I can get, I will work as fast and hard as I can until my boss goes home, and take in all the hours I can get. I need to work out a schedule, my sickness came and threw me off of it. So, I will wake up tomorrow morning at 7 am, and I will do 30 minutes of yoga. Then I will wake dan up and have breakfast, and get a 30 minute walk in sometime during the day before I go to work at 3pm. I will have no problem keeping myself busy after work, because I have SOOOO much homework and studying to do. I really want to catch up on the studying I only scanned over in the previous weeks. And I will get in 15 minutes of Pilates before I go to bed.
I read a horoscope of mine today online, I don't really believe in them being completely true... but I do think they have good advice for ANYONE.
"Don't hold on to the current moment; let go and the changes will unfold pretty quickly. "
I take this and try to apply it into my life as... don't worry about everything this very moment - like I usually do. I worry about work, school, money, family, etc... and instead I should just take my day moment by moment. I know I can make the right choices when the time comes. It can help me out with "de-stressing" and also working harder at what I do because my head won't be in 100 different places.

I'm loving the avi. You are so absolutely adorable, I don't know how you can ever think you're ugly. So print this out and keep it somewhere for the next time you're feeling bad about yourself. You are a beautiful woman and don't forget it!! oh, and Dan is a cutie, too. You look good together.
I hope getting more hours at work helps with your $$ situation.

I woke up late today, I just couldn't pull myself out of bed. But I got up at 9:15, so I still give myself partial credit, because I could have slept until 12! I had my breakfast,3/4 cup of Cinnamon Crunch Total Cereal, and 1/4 cup of 2% milk. JEEZ.. I wish they would buy skim milk. I am going to visit all my usual diet and motivation sites today, and then get ready, and go on a walk for 30 minutes with Dan. I've already got my lunch planned out, and my dinner when i get home. I will get some fruits in for snacks today too.
