Thanks Karl. Yesterday was a great day. I'm sort of proud of myself too.
I hope today goes as well as yesterday. I had an onion bagel with 1 tbsp of cream cheese. I've already had 3 cups of water. working on my 4th now! I dropped Dan off at work, and came back and did half my strength training routine, signed up for classes for both Dan and I online, and then did the second half of my routine. Now I have to get ready quickly, and then head off to work.
My routine for exercise:
Sunday- strength training
Monday- Cardio
Tuesday- Strength training
Wednesday- cardio
Thursday- strength training
Friday-cardio
Saturday- cardio
When I do strength training I just do what spark people tells me to. Usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Cardio I do 20 or plus minutes.
I'll update later tonight when I get home from my mom's house.

I'm working really hard, but TOM is coming, and its messing up my weight!!!!! I'm back in the 210's.. Well, I was only 209 this morning. But I know I will be more then that tomorrow morning. I'm disappointed. I didn't want to do cardio tomorrow morning, because that will take away from my energy at work, and when I leave work I will probably be really really sore. So I guess I will have to suck it up and do something cardio when I get out that night. I'm really down about my weight right now. Whats new there? Nothing. Nothing at all. Well, I must get getting to bed, even though I just got home from my mom's house, because I am going to have a really long day at work tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day everyone picks up their thanksgiving orders. woohoo. What sucks even more is that I will be working a lot in the next month (because now that Thanksgiving is done after tomorrow, Christmas orders are going to be coming in) but almost immediately after Christmas I won't have much of a job at all, because the bakery becomes completely and totally dead for the next 5 to 6 months... hell, maybe even 8 months. Its very frustrating. I want to be done with that place after Christmas is done. I will find another job to rely on. I am just very frustrated with that. And I just want to get weight offfffff. Well, I will pray that its only because TOM will be here tomorrow or the next day. I have been... emotional.... to say the least.
Have a good Thanksgiving eve all of my friends here on WLF. My friends. The ones I tell pretty much everything to. The only people I can rely on to give me support on my weight loss (mis)adventure. The only people that can understand how I feel, because you are all going through this with me. You all mean so much to me. I am thankful for all of YOU this thanksgiving.

Thank you! You are so sweet and I am sorry you are going through the rough time. TOM always makes it hard but that weight will come back off soon after. Keep your head up and enjoy the busy time at your work (more hours = more money) and keep your eyes peeled for some other opportunities. I am sure one will happen along.
Have a wonderful Thanks giving as well!!!

Today was very busy at work. I got out a lot earlier then I thought I was going to though. I worked from 8 until 4:30. so 8.5 hours. I got to leave early because I was there since opening, and there was very very little left to do. I'm going to watch some movies tonight. I am going to have a night of fun stuff for myself. I want to watch all of my favorite movies. And later tonight I will get some sort of cardio in. Well, I'm off to watch Wall*e, Knocked up, and maybe an old VHS, Never Been Kissed.

So I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I ate OK... I only gained .2 pounds from the night night before, and I did NO exercise. Nor did I do any exercise Wednesday. But I have the whole night ahead of me, and I plan on doing 20 minutes of cardio and my strength training routine tonight (to make up for today and wednesday) and tomorrow I will do 40 minutes of cardio to make up for Thursday and keep up for tomorrow. Tonight I also have to do a project for my nutrition class. So, I am going to stop slacking and get MOVING!!!

So I did 40 minutes of cardio. It was a great RANDOM work out. I am watching the movie Ever After with Drew Barrymore. And instead of sitting and watching it, I have watched the first 40 minutes while moving around in front of the television. I did some Tae Bo moves, some aerobic types moves, and walked in place, and for the last 30 seconds I did super fast jumping jacks. Now the sweat is pouring off of me, and I feel pretty good. TOM is supposed to come tomorrow, so I might actually do 20 more minutes later tonight to make up for tomorrow, and make tomorrow the day I make up for missing strength training on Thanksgiving. Someday I will have a really hot bod. lol. My food choices weren't good today. Its Black Friday, a very lazy day in my family. lol. Tomorrow will be better. I always throw down numbers for my goals, but in reality I want a certain look. I will go until I think I look my best. My ULTIMATE goal would be between 120 and 130. It will be hard to lose that much weight when I just keep gaining and losing the same 10 pounds. lol. But I can get there eventually. I am going to try and do active things during times when I would usually be sitting and doing NOTHING. Like I did tonight. I'm feel great right now, tomorrow I'm sure I will feel pretty awful. lol.

I feel like I have been gone for a century! The end of the semester is here, and I've been sitting at my computer and doing MAJOR homework. I got through my first major project for the end of the semester, and have 2 left to get done.
I want to lose 1 pound a week. that is my slow but steady goal. I have been trying to do my hair and make up daily, because as shallow as it may seem... it makes me feel really good about myself, and makes me feel more "in control" of what I do. It makes me feel like I am worth it. To feel like I am good enough to allow myself to lose weight. I have thought about it, and most days it comes down to me just NOT feeling good about myself. That I don't deserve to be beautiful. And I think I might have gained weight when I met Dan because when I had such a fear that I would lose him, after finding something so spectacular and miraculous in my life.. and I wanted to think that it was something physical rather than what type of person I was. I am over that point now, and I just haven't gotten rid of it! lol. But its time. I feel good about myself when I doll myself up. So if that helps raise my confidence, then that is what I will do. I am going to keep my self-esteem up. I've never been able to do that before. I want the scale to be going down the next few weeks of the holidays... not up!

Hi Brandy! Yay Positive thoughts! Keep your head up with makeup and all. It doesn't seem shallow. Taking care of yourself is a sign you care. I have needed to work on that. I don't wear makeup most days because there is really no reason these days. I feel better when I have makeup on too. Makes me feel girlie lol
Hope your projects go well!! When are your classes done for the semester?

This isn't PG.
I didn't get much sleep last night, but I've managed to stay up all day. I had school this morning. It was pretty good. I had fun anyways. Until the end, when my temper flared. And I got ugly! I was cussing at all the students, and they all just shut their mouths. I had ran around for 2 hours cleaning the kitchen, I sanitized tables, did a shit load of dishes, sweeped and mopped the demo kitchen, the storeroom, and the walk in fridge... and took a break for 2 minutes to sit down and try some of the turkey pot pie we made, and all of a sudden a girl walks in and says "Brandy, We have all taken a vote, and you have to mop the kitchen because you haven't been doing any work all day. You've just been sitting down in here" I FLIPPED. My anger level went from happy to "I'm a' knock some skulls". I went in the kitchen, didn't care who was there and yelled "Who the fuck is taking this vote, and who the fuck said I wasn't doing any work?" No one said ANYTHING. so I continued "I have been cleaning for 2 hours straight when you lazy asses sat around talking to each other and texting your little friends on your cell phones. Did I stop you to tell you to do something? NO. because I knew I could do it for now, and I won't do it half assed like you. So why doesn't someone own up to what they were saying. Who said I wasn't doing anything? And who decided that we vote on making someone do something now instead of just doing it themselves?" NO ONE said a thing. One of my friends, Colleen, came up to me and said "Brandy, please don't hit anyone. I want to leave here early. I don't want to have to clean up blood". And as funny as I thought it was, i couldn't even laugh. I was so angry still. I was PISSED until like 45 minutes after class let out. I wasn't pissed anymore because of what people said.. it was the fact that no one had the balls to back it up. And I think I knew who it was who started it... but there is a lot of smack talk and people thinking they are tough, but no one was brave enough to tell me. Yeah.. I'm in college, and people need to grow the fuck up. I left highschool for a reason sweetie.
Best Part was that all the teachers heard me, but didn't care. The teacher that was actually teaching my class at the time started laughing and said "Brandy, whats wrong?" So I told him that I worked my ass off and then all of a sudden the class decided to become a democracy and vote that I had to mop the rest of the kitchen... And he said "DOn't worry about it. I know you did the work and they aren't the ones that grade you."
Next time that happens I will go spit on the floor and tell them where they can go. I am not dealing with that shit. THere was 15 other people sitting there talking, they could have easily have done it. Lazy asses. Why waste time voting, why not just say something to me, or do it YOURSELF!!!

My goal for tomorrow is to lose 1.1 pounds. So I hope to be at 208.9 lbs tomorrow. Despite my last entry, I'm actually in a decent mood now. Still pissed when I think about it. Even though it sounds too little to even care about. I'll write more about weight loss related stuff tomorrow. I'm going to watch a movie with Dan and chill out, and then pass out. lol.

It is very sad when high school follows you into college! Some people never grow up. Hope your night goes well and fingers crossed for the loss tomorrow!!!
P.S. I'd be scared of you! You sound scary when your angry!!
LOL. I don't think people who aren't mature enough to leave highschool... should ever be allowed to move on from high school. I very rarely get angry like that. I had just been dealing with people's shit all day and was sick of it. lol.
hey girl, you sound like you could use a break! What movie are ya watching??? Good luck on the exams on monday! You know my NTR exam is an open book???? how cool is that!?!
I hope you have a lovely weekend hun
I needed to get some air from that class. I am extremely busy right now, but I don't think its a horrible thing. I watched the movie Handcock. It was pretty good. OPEN BOOK!?!? Thats crazy!! I wish I could do that!
I can get very nasty. But I take shit from people SO often, and I refuse to say anything because I just think to myself "its not worth it". I try to mesh and mold while working with people. When working in a kitchen, things need to get done as fast and smoothly as possible. So if someone pushes me around in the kitchen, instead of pushing back, I find a way to deal with it. But that day I had dealt with nasty attitudes, people kicking me out of my own table, cleaning up after other people, had some girl call me a bitch (in a "funny" way, it just wasn't appropriate in my opinion.)and I was sick of it. Someone was being stupid and ignorant, and I refuse to let people do that to me for too long. lol. I take what I can, and then I will flip out. rofl.

My goal for today was 208.9 lbs, and I was 207.0! I lost 3 pounds this week. And I joined the T2 and Wishes 30 pound challenge. I could use that type of motivation! 
lol. Last night I did something I have never done before, and I was SOOO proud of myself. It is going to sound pathetic, but i threw away chips. Dan was trying to tempt me into eating at 10:35pm; and I refused. Then he was trying to get me to eat something, and he opened up the bag of Doritos and put them in front of me. Knowing that Doritos have been a main cause of my downfall for EVER. And they are amongst my favorite junk foods. And I rolled them back up and put them away. And then he put a handful in front of me, and I got up without even thinking and threw them in the trash. I didn't need them. It wasn't worth getting off track. I was proud, because I honestly don't think I've ever done that before. Yesterday I was great with portion control and staying away from the obviously bad foods. Today will be just as good. I have stuff that I need to get done though. I am going to take my shower and get ready, go grab something to eat for lunch with Dan, and then get going on homework, exercise, filling out Job applications that I will turn in on Saturday morning. I am in a uber-determined mood after joining the 30lb challenge! And not just with the weight-loss aspect of my life, but with my "finding a job" motivation as well. So this weekend I will get that done. I am applying at Panera Bread and White's Bakery. By tomorrow at the latest. Life is fun and good and I'm going to be kicking MAJOR butt in this competition, and in my own life!
