Brandy's Success Diary

Thank you to everyone for stopping by with your best wishes.

I have decided as motivation for myself, that I am going to get healthy "for" my uncle. I want to be as healthy as he should have been.

And with that being said, I lost 5 pounds this week! My lowest was 207; which would have been a 6 pound lost, but I ate badly last night.... and gained a pound back. I'm not worried it will come off again this week. I am very proud of myself for the 5 nonetheless.

I have thought down to the nitty-gritty about when I will have trouble with calories, and for this week I only see Friday being a problem.. because of the get-together after the funeral. But I'm sure my motivation will be stronger than ever at that point.

Today's plan is to do the 30 day shred and the weight loss yoga DVD. I need to get both in for challenge anyways.

I must get moving for the day now. I will talk to you all soon!
 
Congratulations on the weight loss!!! You have certainly earned it! Yes getting in shape "for" your uncle is a good idea. It is awful that he died so young! Good luck on your challenge and hope your week goes well!
 
Howdy Brandy! My first time into your diary, and it's with mixed emotions. Sorry to hear about your Uncle. My condolences to you and your family.

On a positive note... congrats on the weightloss! Very well done. I'm glad to have been placed on your team for this challenge, you sound very motivated, and for a great reason too. Have good ones. :) :)
 
Thanks Michelle and JZ for stopping by. JZ- sorry you stopped by my diary on a sad post. lol. I usually have a weird/boring diary. lol.

I am really sorry I haven't gotten around to anyone's diaries lately, I will on my next day that is not so hectic... so probably Saturday. I did well eating today, not my BEST, but for the first time in a while I had a healthy amount of calories. 1375 for the day. I haven't exercised yet because I found out last night that I had jury duty this morning, so I am EXHAUSTED. I will be doing my 30 day shred tonight, as well as 30 minutes of Cardio max. I will update in detail, and in everyone else's diaries Come the weekend.

Thanks for being patient with me!
 
Sorry for your loss, but it's great that you're able to kind of take inspiration from it.

I wish you the best, and keep up your journey, you're doing great.
 
Hey there good-lookin' :D Hope Jury Duty wasn't too much of a pain. and no worries about not stopping in on everyone, get to it when you can. we all understand that you've got a lot to do this week. we're still here cheering you on. :D
 
Hey! I've always wanted to be on jury duty! I don't know why, it seems so interesting.

Good job on the healthy eating. Hopefully you got your dvd's in!

It's ok not having time to write in diaries, it happens. Can't wait to hear from ya though :D
 
Checking in very quickly, STRESSSS and CHAOS are running my life right now. I ate meteocre, but stayed in my calorie limit. :D 30 minutes exercise today. Tomorrow is the funeral, So this chaos is ALMOST over. I will probably not get any exercise in, because I will be up from 7 am to get ready, and shop for a nice shirt to wear there, and Dan has nothing to wear there... I guess with everything going on, I forgot that I didn't have anything to wear. *shrug*, at least I remembered now. And after the funeral I want to be with my family. I will make up for it on Saturday. Well, I must get going. Lots to do, little time. Thanks for stopping by everyone!
 
Today was my uncle's funeral. I cried, got really drunk on his behalf, became peaceful with it, ate a whole bunch of bad food.... well, to be honest, I don't think I went over my calories. But my calories were spent on chicken fingers, and vodka and sprite. Pretty much all I had today. I haven't exercised, and I don't think I will. Today was about my family and my uncle Mike, but tonight is about ME. For once I am going to care for myself. I will get back on tomorrow, let me check my calories to see if I stayed on track with them! Thank you to everyone who has been here to help me through my amazingly chaotic week. Its finally coming to an end.
 
Glad you took today to be with your family. Calories and perfect eating can't always be the priority. Take care of yourself and come back strong.
 
Brandy, I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle, and at such a young age too. Sounds like things are so crazy that it probably hasn't even totally sunk in yet. Make sure you take care of yourself and I'm glad you're not beating yourself up over little stuff. Times like these are a reminder what's really important.

I'll probably miss you this weekend because I work long shifts but I'll try to catch up with you this week sometime. Maybe we'll get lucky and be on same time and get to use the chat room. Take care of yourself. *hugz* ~Lisa
 
Hey, sorry about everything again. I hope you're doing ok.

If you didn't keep within your calories, who cares. It was a very tough day and one day won't harm you. You can always just pick it up the next day and move forward. So don't worry about it :) I really hope you're feeling better.
 
Brandy... we miss you...

Sorry you're week was so crazy/sad/hectic... you know. Hope you get the chance to stop in soon and say hi! (and update your points...:toetap05:)
