Brandy's Success Diary

I seriously think I need to sit down and make an exact schedule for the week- that way everything is written down, like an appointment. So I do not slack off like I did this week. *bad brandy*. Starting tomorrow everything will be completely different though. (like I haven't said that a million times).

If I were just to lose 40 pounds... I would not have a self esteem issue. I like everything else about myself. My GOAL is to reach 130 pounds. But once I hit 170- I know I will feel great about myself. So... my adventure continues. This summer- no one will recognize me.
 
You didnt log your exercise(here I mean)....what did ya end up doing, i went and suffered through boot camp as always, lol.When I am there I wonder what the hell Im doing to myself...LOL.

I hear ya, my ticker is set for me to get to 199, in wonderland cuz i know i will be happy when i get there at least satisfied and from there \i will continue to work on it.
 
Brandy-I know I just had a slump this week and hormones were all wacked out and I was a mess but I did make myself appointments/plans to pull myself out and it worked. Keep on keepin on and doing your best effort. Take care!!
 
This is just a quick post. I have to head off to my mother's house soon, and I just got home from school.

I woke up at 6am this morning and did 30 minutes of yoga. I didn't plan any other exercises for today because I have to leave soon, and I want to go to bed early. But tomorrow I have 90 minutes of exercise planned.

I will be back on later tonight to reply to comments and visit everyone's journals. The plan I made myself is working so far!! (1 day, lol)
 
First - "HOT-MAZING".... great word!!! ;) :D

Second - If organization works with other areas of your life, definately bring it to your fitness! I like that... "like an appointment with yourself" (Don't go there Cabbie ;) :D ) Pre-planning workouts, and preparing healthy meals that are easy to grab and go, keeps you in control, and becomes very easy. It may seem a little time consuming at first, but once you get it down... ain't no thang! :D Have great ones Brandy, and glad to see things are calming down for you a little bit anyways lately. :) :)

Thanks JZ. I am a SUPER organized person when it comes to time management. It is just a bad habit of "do I really want to dedicate that time to exercise?" lol. Well, the answer is yes now, and I have a plan of what to do and when to do it. I like the extra business believe it or not.

Thanks for coming by.

I know that there are people 100 times my weight that are pushing themselves to the breaking point every day. And if they can do it- there is no reason I can't.

I went on a 30 minute walk, did 30 minutes of lifting weights, and 30 minutes of yoga. Then I stopped. I got caught up in stuff. But I was still proud of myself!!!

I think 199 is misleading. Because the 1 pound difference still leaves fluctuating in weight to be over 200. I think a happy number would be 195. I have only gotten to 199 twice in the past year and a half. And each time I am only there for a day. :(

I want to hit that point in my journey where I am happy with myself- just trying to make it perfect.

You will, because you are the kind of person who deserves it. I'm not there yet. I see it becoming clearer. I'm beginning to see what I might look like when I reach that place... but its still a ways away. I'm trying to be patient and get there, although there are days that I just want this dieting crap to end...

Brandy I have dropped under 300 a couple of times in the last 10 or so years, and each time I went back up even higher than I started... You and I have both played that game. We can do this.
 
I hear ya about that bu ti just actually wanna see 199...

I have dropped as low as 210 but never gotten to below 200 anytime i got close i ballooned back up, i think my body is scared of onderland...

I get so close I can taste it and then it slips away...

My body seems to repell onderland.

I have quite a day planned for myself tomorrow.

When I wake up (hopefully around 9am.) I will do 30 minutes of yoga, followed by a 30 minute walk. Then I have school from 2 to 5pm if it doesn't get cancelled from snow. During the night I am planning on 30 minutes of intense cardio. And POSSIBLY 20 minutes of stretching and weight training.
 
So I woke up this morning to find out that school was indeed canceled. And weirdly enough- I'm bummed out about it because I like my classes this semester. I haven't gotten my exercise done yet. I am trying to figure out how I am going to go on a walk with all the snow. I woke up in sort of a weird mood this morning. I'm feeling a bit groggy, so I might take advantage of my day off and take a nap for now. Then I will wake up and get my yoga on. lol. Then figure out whether I want to take a walk, or do some step aerobics instead. (personally, I want to take a walk. It just depends on how much room there is to run in the streets)

Today will be another marvelous day. I have lost weight even from just my Yesterday's weight. So I am definitely excited to see how much I can get down for next Tuesday's weigh in. :D My goal is to get down and keep off 2 pounds all week. To get me back down to 204. Then the following week I can get out of the 2's and into one-derland. By the end of this challenge I want to be around 195. So if I can really push myself there... I should reach that goal.

Last night after watching the Biggest Loser I signed up for the poundforpound challenge. And I pledged to lose 28 pounds by the end of April. Its a good cause, so I am glad I did it.
 
I haven't watched that show....I looked here in the challenges and figured out the pound for pound wasn't here so guessing it has something to do with the show? Can you link me?
 
Hi Brandy!!!
Sorry to be MIA. Had some reading to catch up on. Glad to see your back in the swing of things. Sounds like a lot of us sabotage ourselves as we get close to certain milestones. My brain was not used to having a skinnier body and I really struggled to the point I gave up and gained it back. It was rough. Weightloss is truly a mental as well as physical thing. Sorry your classes got canceled!! It's cool you like them... especially since it's your last semester... go out with a happy bang;) lol
Hope you are having a good week!!
 
I am so glad you are pulling out of that slump, you are doing great. I have had a set abck today but I know we can do this!@!!!!!

Sign me up as another sabotager when I get close. Definately trying to address the mental parts of it for me this time has helped.

I SO do that!! And no matter how much I try and figure out why, I have no clue. I recognize a bunch of stuff I do now but have as yet to figure out reasons. Probably because they're subconscious and would make no sense to me up front.

Anyway I just came by to see how you're doin Brandy :) I know you're going to conquer onederland and I'm rootin for ya! :party: Just gotta take it one step and one day at a time.
 
Hey Brandy! I hope you're doing well! I know you can totally make it to your goal by the end of the challenge if you just keep persistent with your plan! :) You're doing so well! I think that's awesome you're doing the pound for pround challenge! I always see them talk about it after teh show but made an excuse that I was too lazy. AGH! WHAT THE HELL. I can help someone out by helping myself. I'm going to go sign up! :)

Keep up the good work, girly! :) :party:
