Brandy's Success Diary

Thank you everyone for the Congrats. I feel great. I feel more confident, sexier, more energetic... The list goes on and on. I'm very happy. I might be getting a better job. It's more money, more hours, career advancement... But a lot further away. I need to keep traveling costs considered before making a decision to take it. But...we'll see. I ate a burger (no cheese or mayo) fast food. I hate it. It gave me a stomach ache. Instead of making myself puke just to get rid of this nausea, I'm going to drink a TON of tea and get it out of my system.
 
Holy crap!!! Only 9.6 pounds left to get out of the "obese" catergory and into "over weight". Woohoo. I can't wait!!
 
I'm down 6 pounds since last week. Even though it only took me 2 days to get from the 205 to the 202.... ( stupid TOM), I'm still proud. My cravings just haven't been there. I haven't really wanted to eat anything. At all. But I have eaten. Duh! I can't wait to give myself my 190 award. I love my razor! LOL. By next summer I'm going to be a beach babe!!
 
Good job Brandy :) We need some "breakdancing smilies" but I guess these'll do...well until we invent our special talking scale that dispenses calorie free chocolate, lol. :party:
 
Hey Brandy! Look at you!!! I get busy for a little while and I come back to see you in ONEDERLAND!!!! :hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray: You are awesome, I am so happy for you!
 
thank you lisa and heather. I'm very proud of myself.

Today I went out to get my hair cut because I was sick of the one I had. I love it. It's short again. I have been eating very little for the past couole of days, and I've "gained" a couple pounds. I put gained in quotes because I also haven't gone to the bathroom at all. I will be eating healthier foods starting tomorrow.

I have quite a bit of time off this week. I will be doing homework, exercising, and cleaning a lot though.

Right now I need to finish up my nutrition class homework, so I'll catch up with everyone later.
 
Thanks for stopping by kim.

My emotions are getting the best of me today. I think it's because I am so tired. But everyone is getting on my nerves. I'm going to my mom's house to watch biggest loser tonight, and I made desserts for everyone because I wanted to bake. I won't have any because as much fun as I had making them, I really don't like to eat them. When BL ends I will probably come straight home and go to sleep. I have to be at work early tomorrow morning.
 
Hope you are doing better today! I am so sad I missed BL:( I thought I had my tivo set and apparently I didn't. *sob* ;) I have taken on this monster project for my son's school and I am regretting it now. I only have a few more days to finish it and I am just so not motivated. I need to remember this if I get all volunteer-y again. lol
You will have to post pics of your haircut. You had a cute pic of you and Dan on here somewhere. You need an avatar of you lady cause you are pretty:D
Hope your doing well and if you ever want to travel and make desserts we would be happy to put you up in Denver lol ;)
 
thanks for coming by michelle! I miss you! Is there an email address I could reach you at? You should pm me.

Lately I have not been following a healthy lifestyle, but today is my day to start again. For breakfast I had 30 red seedless grapes, 1 cup of lettuce with 2 tbsp of northern Italian dressing. Now dan, his parents, and I are going out to eat for Chinese food. And I couldn't be more miserable right now. First off, I wanted my mom to come- and dan wouldn't let me invite her because of how his parents are paying, second because I didn't have time to shower and I feel so dirty, third because I have a very very low self esteem today, and I feel like a tub of lard in what I'm wearing. Fourth because I'm trying to eat healthy, and this isn't helping. And fifth because I'm car sick. I feel like crying. I hate leaving the house because of how I look, how I feel... But today I feel 100 times worse.
 
So sorry!! I know that feeling. I am going through it right now. Just do your best to make healthy choices at the Chinese restaurant. Try to get sauces on the side and order things with lots of veggies. I am sorry about your mom but if Dan's parents are paying then that makes sense. It's just one night. Sadly going out in public is usually necessary unless you are independently wealthy lol ;) I hope your day gets better and you feel better. It is tough but eating right will help:) I will pm you my email!
 
Thanks michelle. I needed support. Dan's parents weren't paying at all, he's just a Butthead. I don't know.

Lunch was ok. I ate ok. Dan bought me a new bicycle seat so I might start riding my bike for exercise until the snow comes. Then it will probably be walking and inside things. I want to be in shape so bad. I'll get there.
 
I just went on a bike ride. It was hard for me. I'm really out of shape. But I'll go on a walk later. Dan agreed that he would help me get used to riding a bike. I'm in a better mood, and I'll stay that way as long as I exercise and stuff. I'm making a list of stuff I want to get done tonight. Homework, cleaning, exercise. What else is new? LOL. I'm going to make my own website too. Tonight or tomorrow or something.
 
My weigh in was the same this week. No loss. Yesterday I spent all my ttime playing a computer game, and I got NOTHING done. Today I had grapes and a tuna sandwich for lunch. Then I went on a short bike ride- 10 minutes. I'm getting better. I'm going to go again later on. I have a lot of cleaning to do, homework, I'm going to read my book and maybe do some crafts. Hell- I'll probably only have time for homework, cleaning, and exercise. I'll update later on with how I'm doing with all this crap that I always tend to put off to the last minute.
 
Dan has agreed to be on a diet with me. We have decided to exercise 1 hour a day as well. He has amazing discipline, so I'm sue this will help me. I want to be 170 by new years. We can do this together.
 
Hi Brandy! Hey there was no loss but at least there was no gain! That is still so great about Dan. I am sure you can get to your goal. You are always very reasonable with them. Yum I read grapes and tuna and got an instant craving but alas I have no good grapes:p lol I hope you have a good weekend!

Hi, I've checked in a couple of times, but haven't posted here yet. I'm also in Mass.

Pembroke isn't too far from the Cape, and it can be fun to make trips out of cycling sometimes (now that it's off season the Cape traffic shouldn't be too bad also). The Canal has an access road on both sides that is relatively flat and easy to ride. A good place to start building up to riding longer distances. There is also the Cape Cod Rail trail, which goes for miles and miles.

You may have some other bike trails in your 'hood too, I don't know Pembroke very well. I just know that trails are a great way to get back on a bike, without killing yourself with hills etc right away.

Good luck!
 
Sorry you've been having a rough time lately. Just remember that you are beautiful no matter what the scale says. Hormones can't bring you down, noooo....lol. Just sing that to Christina Aguilara's song..lol.

You are pretty--I've seen pics so I know. But I know how sometimes you just have those fat days where it seems like everything makes you look fat and ugly. Yes, I know this from experience..lol. Well, all I can say is to try and wrap your mind around the fact that it's all in your head. And that we all love you no matter what. :hug2:

Stick with the biking. It'll get easier, I promise. Whenever I don't ride mine for awhile, the first time is always a killer, but after a few times your legs get stronger and more used to it and it gets easier. No pain, no gain, right? :D
 
michelle- thanks for stopping in. I am reasonable with my goals because if I don't I'll just be disappointed because I can't accomplish them. I love grapes. Red or green! Yummmmmm.

reluctantcabbie- thanks for stopping in, I can always use the extra support! I never thought of taking my bike to the canal! What a great idea! I used to live in wareham with my father and we used to go walking down there. It's beautiful, and pretty flat if I remember correctly. Thanks for that!! :D

Kim- I'm practicing my bike riding, I know HOW to ride the bike, I just need to build up stamina. I'll get there. I love riding...until my knees start burning. No pain no gain, your right. Pain is good. LOL.
 
today is going well so far. I am eating healthy, but I need to find fruits and veggies to put in my dinner. I'm not sure what I am going to do for exercise tonight. Possibly a bike ride, step aerobics or a walk. Then strength training for 30 minutes. Free weights.
