Brandy's Success Diary

A funny quote for today:

"I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience."

Nice... Words to live by...
 
Day 3/7 was great. I weighed in this morning, and I was down a pound from Friday! :D I hope I can get another one or two down by this Friday's weigh in. I can't believe I had a good weekend! It is the first in a REALLY long time, and it wasn't even hard. I was supposed to work today, but my boss decided against it, so I think I am working tomorrow instead. I need to get all the money together that I can. I'm going to be done with them by the end of the month... come January things are going to be soooo dead, and I have all the hours I needed for my class, so I will stick with her through the holidays, and then my job at Giuseppe's Bakery will become a secondary job, and I will get another job to help me through next semester. Hell, I might even work full time until school starts again, and then I'll work nights... and then I'll go back to full time once I graduate.

Anyways... now I on day 4/7 and I had a tuna sandwich for breakfast. I will make sure today is just as good as the rest of my week.
 
So glad to hear you had a really good weekend!! yay for day 4! I love Xmas shopping but sadly this year finances are so strapped that my little one is going to get all the presents this year. But next year I'll be back:D Hope your day goes well and good luck for the challenge!! I will be reading intently:D
 
Hey Michelle! Thanks for stopping by. Christmas is going to be tight for everyone this year I think.


So i am still doing well today, but I had 200 calories worth of smarties!! Thats like 8 packages! lol. But there is no fat or anything, so I don't feel like I bombed myself for the day. Its 4pm, and I have been doing absolutely NOTHING all day long... so I need to get moving. I need to take a walk, and then finish up my project that is due on Wednesday. Tomorrow morning I have work from 8 to 2; then I will come home for a couple hours and finish up a project.... and then head to my mom's house to watch The Biggest Loser. Then its home and off to bed again because I have to be at school from 8-12 for extra credit, then from 1 to 4 for a class the very next day. I'm going to be TIRED!!!!!

So I'm going to go get my walking shoes on now and head out the door! :D
 
I just went on a brisk 30 minute walk, unfortunately it was 20 degrees outside!! If not colder! I so want to go out for another walk, but I have so much homework that needs to be done for my project. So I am going to defrost for a little bit, type up my project, and then head out a bit later tonight when its dark and people will have some Christmas lights on. And maybe i will bring my camera and take some festive pictures.
 
yah, pretty friggin' cold today huh? Went to the gym with just a sweatshirt on (well, I mean I was wearing pants too), and had to park a 1/4 mile away. Regretted that decision real quick.
 
OH YEAH! I went out with a VERY thin pair of sweatpants, and my legs were BRIGHT red when I got back. It was literally quite painful. So then Dan and i went to the mall to walk around after that. Thinking of goofy things to do when they people stopped us and asked us to buy things. rofl. It was a GOOD time.
 
So I'm getting a little side-tracked, but I'm doing a project right now, and my project is to make my own restaurant. And I'm drooling over my own menu that I'm making up on my own right now. When I am done with it I will post it. Probably tomorrow.

I unfortunately have to go to sleep now, because I have work from 8 to 2 tomorrow morning. And when I don't get enough sleep I cannot move the next morning.

Day 4/7 was successful! I did awesome again. Not to be too cocky. hahaha. I'm real proud of myself.

Oh I'll try. I going to have to SERIOUSLY push it into overload if I am going to keep up with everyone though! I'm ready for the challenge!

By next week (when finals and stuff will be almost over) I will be doing more exercise than sitting down! When I relax at night, I will be doing step aerobics in front of the television, or I'll bundle up warm and walk/jog.

I gutta step up my game. *tough face*
 
You are doing soo well!! Glad your days have been going so good!!:) I hear you on the cold. It started snowing last night while we were still moving and then today as well and my legs are several shades of red. I did the stair stepper.... which was the going up and down the billions of stairs that seem to multiply every day! lol
You are going to rock this challenge!

Thanks Michelle! It must really have sucked going up and down those stairs so often! Especially with it being so cold outside!
 
I didn't have the best day. There is a lot going on in my own head. I have a lot of stress on me in the current moment because I have a project due tomorrow, and I still have a lot of work to do on it, more than I had previously realized. So I might be up all night figuring it all out... when I also have to go to school at 8am tomorrow for some extra credit thing. I will get through this. I always seem to.

I think eventually I might become a nutritionist. Well, someday. I want to do a lot of other things first. I want to be a baker and a chef in my lifetime, and maybe a nutritionist afterwards.

I want to check out that boot camp thing. Thanks for the link! :D

I just thought my project was less involved than it actually was. :-/
 
I finished my facilities planning, just like I was supposed to. It came out SOOO good, with the help of dan. lol. I have another project due tomorrow morning that I will get started on after dinner. I have done well with food today, and I'm hoping to have time to exercise after the projects are done. Friday I want to finish up most of my christmas shopping. I want it all done and out of the way.

Something has changed inside of my head lately. And I'm a little worried about it. I have realized that for the last week or so, when I eat too much, I feel guilty and depressed. Well, pretty much when I eat something that isn't either a SMALL SMALL amount, or something UNDOUBTEDLY healthy... I feel bad about it, and it effects my mood totally. I'm hoping that this is just me wising up to eating better, and not turning into an eating disorder. When I was a mid-age teenager i had an huge self-image problem that started to develop into an eating disorder. Luckily nothing got too severe. (probably about 4 or 5 years ago). I don't think this is the same thing, but I don't want to feel guilty and depressed after EVERY time i eat. So for a little bit I am going to be paying attention to my feelings after I eat.

Good news is that I fit into a medium/small size 16... and I used to only fit into 18's and BIG 16's. So I guess I'm sort of proud of that. I can wait to get to a size 13 again... so I can wear my favorite pair of pants.

Well, I need to get going on my project due tomorrow, because I hate being a procrastinator.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!
 
I'm taking a little break from my project. I've literally been doing it ever since my last post here. lol.

Still to do tonight:
Type up a 3 page paper on Sweden, Make a menu with recipes for Brazil and Sweden both, and bake some swedish cookies.

Expected time:
Paper: 45 minutes
Menus: 30 minutes put together
Cookies: 30 minutes.

Expecting time I will go to sleep: 1am... Lets hope that is it!!
