Brandy's Success Diary

[AngelicaHope]

you know... i was feeling a little iffy yesterday (cold as well) and then i googled it ... and found that if its a head cold (sinuses, headache sore throat etc) then its okay to workout but not full force... but its from your neck down you really shouldnt (chills, congested chest, fever) soo that made me feel better... i was worried about hurting my body.

hopefully you are feeling a little better?!

Hey darlin'!!!

We missed most of the snow (you might have missed all of it ), can the bicycles be far away? God I hope not!!! I'm so sick of doing stationary cardio its killing me, I'm going stir crazy! I'm ready to pack my bike onto the top of the car and drive down south somewhere for a weekend just to ride it!

I hope you are feeling better (and hoping I don't get it...).

Good luck on job hunting and the challenge!! Being responsible isn't so bad I remember that fear and stress too! You will do well There is a book called "48 Days to the Work You Love". My husband has read it already and says it's very good. I got a copy and it's the next book on my list He said it would be perfect for you lol
Hope your weekend has been good and your week goes even better!

I think sometime this week I will head down to the library and check out that book!

Good luck with the job hunt and try not to stress too much

Job hunting is more stressful to me then the actual job! lol.

hello!

mmm i was reading your diary...
im also in the 6 week challenge and guess what girl?!
ive been at this for 6 weeks as of tomorrow and ive lost
almost 20 pounds... sooo you can totally get to 195!

i'm looking forward to the outcome of the challenge! I know I can get to 195 if I stick to it. In 2 days I have lost 3.8 lbs (not that I will be able to keep up with that for 6 weeks! lol)

Hey Brandy!!
I am right there with you the job hunting, housework and trying to slim down.
I am currently doing that too. I know how stressful becoming an "adult" can be, I was a carefree, party animal when I fell pregnant with my daughter at the age of 19. I can tell you I had to grow up real fast!
Anyway, I am starting carry on so I just wanted to wish you luck with the challenge starting today and all! LUCK!!!
Ciao.

I just want to be lazy. lol. Its a lot more responsibility and a lot more to deal with... being an adult. But.. it has to happen someday.

Hey Hun, Good Luck tomorrow Babe, Im glad Dan can go with ya

You know you can do anything you set your mind too

I need to keep my mind set on the goal. Its hard for me to deal with sometimes... but I will not give up this time. This year is going to be my last vacation to Maine and New Hampshire during the summer. And I want to feel confident in my bathing suit for once. I want to feel like a beautiful young woman instead of a fat oaf!

Hi ya, I'm Stacy.

Have A Goal Reachin' Day 1!

Thanks for popping by!!

Hey there girlie!!! Just dropping in to wish you get better soon!!! And good luck on the challenge! Way to get your work outs in!! !!!

Thanks so much! And just to say... you have such a beautiful avatar.

Im glad you had a good day!How did the job hunting go?

Meh... It went ok... but I went into one breakfast place that said they were hiring waitresses and cooks (on the sign outside the place), and I get in there and say "can I have an application please." and they said "No, we aren't hiring waitresses." So pretty much I told them the sign says they are, plus I wanted to apply to a cooking position. And they say to me "No, sorry. We aren't looking for YOU, we are looking for a cook who knows what they are doing." OMG! What??!?! I told them I did know what they were doing, and this waitress says to me "no you dont. We want a classical French Chef." OMG... yeah right. I told them to change their sign. And this is just a small kinda crappy breakfast place. Nothing fancy... what classical french chef would work there anyways. Plus... how would she know whether i knew what I was doing??? (which I do know what I'm doing, I'm a damn good cook. Just not a classical French one. lol. )
*HUMPH*

Hey How are you?? What are going to school for?? Sounds like your eating is off to a great start for the challenge!! Looking forward to getting to know you!!

I am in school for Culinary Arts, and I will be graduating this spring. I look forward to getting to know you as well!

ps ty bunches for your support all this time even when i was preggers lol!

Aw, you're welcome! I am just glad you are back in action!!

Hey there lady.

I'm doing my best to comment everyone's journal but I'm running out of things to be original. lmao.

YAY!! WE CAN DO THIS!!

Sheesh. Tell me about it. I am trying to think of things as I go in a minute for my first rounds. Thanks for stopping by though!

Oh Goodness. I have both. I won't be exercising too too much... but I should get some walking in. I am capable of that.

Hey darlin'!!!

I missed the snow.. well, it snowed, but it didn't stick. Once it warms up another 5 or 10 degrees I should be set on the biking. Its still only 30 degrees out most of the time. Well.. it wouldn't be a bother without the wind.. The wind makes it feel like -100 degrees F. !!

 

[hickgurltx]

LOL re: classical French Chef story..

Bless your heart, how rude of them.

I agree w/ya, no Chef with that type of status/degree would be working there..lol

My nephew is almost finished up with his courses as a chef and will graduate soon.

Best of luck w/your job hunt.

I hope your Day 2 is going well!

- Stacy

Hey Brandy, sorry you're having to look for work still. I agree with you on it being worse than actually working. As far as that waitress goes I'd go back another day when she's not there and get an app. She probably has a friend she's trying to get in there so was being a jerk. I've had that happen places...been told they weren't hiring by some nobody when I knew for a fact they were. At one place the joke was on them because my friend had worked there and called the owner to refer me and I got hired afterward! Shoulda seen the dumb b****'s face after I started working there.

With everything you're going through stress wise I'm proud of you for still plugging away There's always going to be good days and bad days but you have refused to give up. As far as being an adult goes, it's not that bad with that quality and if you stay organized. Unfortunately that's always my problem :X. I get on top of everything and eventually it all starts sliding again, lol. Have a wonderful week *hugz* ~Lisa

 

[niapage]

SO HERE WE ARE ALREADY ON DAY 2 AND LOOKS LIKE WE ALL ARE DOING PRETTY DARN GOOD!! HERES TO A BUTT KICKING WEEK

Thanks for stopping by Lisa, and I appreciate your words. But my name is Brandy. rofl.

 

[douknowjello]

Sorry, lmao. I know you're name is Brandy and never did that before. I'm gonna use the I haven't slept yet excuse and the fact I was talking to my friend Mandy earlier so I typed without thinking. Sorriez I have a friend named Sandy too so I'll probably call you that next week :X

 

[douknowjello]

And that last post I'm trying to joke it off but I'm seriously embarrassed. I SO hope your feelings aren't hurt because we've been friends on here for a while and I don't want you to think I'd forget you that fast. I seriously know who you are and didn't even realize I'd typed that.

ROFL! omg. Don't feel bad. I know you know what my name is. HELL- you clicked on a link that said "Brandy's Success Diary". I was just giving you shit. ahaha. LOVE YOU. Don't feel embarrassed!

Hello Everyone. My food has been really good today. I need to have some more water before I go to bed, but my calories were in the 1300's. I'm pretty happy with that. I am 4 pounds down from my starting weight already! I am severely sick with a chest and head cold.But, when I am watching the Biggest Loser- I feel guilty not exercising. So I am going to do some Yoga before I go to sleep. Probably just 30 minutes. But I also have an essay to write tonight. It might take me another 45 minutes to complete... an hour tops. I wanted to get a high-impact video in today... seeing as my motivation is through the roof right now, and I've really been wanting to get in a good ass-kicking sweaty workout. But... I don't think it would be good for me being this sick. I do not have the flu or anything, just a really bad head and chest cold. So some easy yoga is better than nothing.

So, I'm proud of my food for the past 2 days. I got lettuce in, and some fruit as well... but lettuce is not enough veggies. Tomorrow I will get more veggies in.

I am loving my 6 week challenge, I am mega-motivated... I WILL lose the weight I want to lose. There is NOTHING getting in my way. There IS time for it. There are NO EXCUSES.

 

[felici]

Great start to a new piece of success, Brandy. I'm glad to hear your motivation is up.

What a piece of work in the eatery!! I'm totally agreeing with you and Stacy and Lisa on that one. That was wrong so many ways. I hope your job search is about to pay off though - you got rid of a bunch of bad luck already - fingers crossed for the next time.

 

[Trusylver]

Nice loss but don't forget to look after yourself, you don't need to allow that cold to get worse.

 

[bmohearn]

Nice loss but don't forget to look after yourself, you don't need to allow that cold to get worse.

You are very right. Even if I don't want to allow the sickness to get in my way.

Thank you much. I am full of bad luck though! lol.

 

[bmohearn]

I am sick. Very sick. Not a flu, but the worst imaginable cold, and I have an ear infection as well. I have been doing well with keeping within my calories, and dinner tonight was a little if-y, but it wasn't outrageous either. Meatloaf and a bit of mac and cheese... not what I SHOULD have eaten, but not bad either. Dan has been taking good care of me, so I hope to be better before the end of the week. I don't want to exercise anymore while I am sick. Its not worth how awful I feel afterwards. Every time... even after a walk, I feel dizzy. And I just want to go about my daily needs, and do no more. If I get well soon, I will catch up with exercise come weekend time. Between Saturday and Sunday I should be able to get some good stuff in.

I am going to go take a nap before the Biggest Loser comes on again, (President's speech interrupted last night! growl!lol. J/k) and hopefully head off to bed again after that.

 

[bmohearn]

Goodness. Why does the Biggest Loser make me feel so lazy!?!? I want to go kick some ass... but I can't right now. Roar! lol. This weekend I will get my revenge! lol. I can't wait to reach my goal. I think this is a mini-goal I will actually reach! And I know if I keep up my good eating and get in some good exercise sessions... I will surpass that. I haven't been 190 since 2006! And it was EARLY 2006. Hell, it might have actually been late 2005.

I'm on my way.

 

[AngelicaHope]

hmmm the last time i was in the 190s was like 10 months ago...
i cried when i hit 200 D: but i didnt do anything to get out of it...
and just slipped deeper and deeper... up to 215...
but we have learned our lessons and its not going to be like that anymore!!!

 

[felici]

Aw. I'm sorry to hear you're so sick. Take care of yourself, Brandy. Try to get lots of rest.
