Brandy's Success Diary

Its awesome to hear that so many of you have signed up for the pound for pound challenge. It is such a good idea- one pound for giving one pound of food to a hungry family. Its amazing! I was really lazy yesterday because I had a mega-migraine. But today it is merely a headache, and I can deal with that.

I am tired of telling myself that I cannot do things, when reality is that I DONT WANT to do them. I think I will start the C25K today, because there is no reason avoiding it anymore. I will be having an activity full day- because thats what I am in the mood to do. I am thinking 30 minutes of yoga, 30 minutes for the C25K, cleaning, laundry, an hour walk on top of the C25k later on today, and maybe some DDR (wow, haven't played that in a long time!!). I also have to get some homework done today. I don't want to procrastinate this early in the semester! lol.

GIRLLL, I totally know how you feel! I opened up my Calc book last night adn said UHHHH SCREW THIS. I'm trying so hard to do well this semester but I'm so lazy too! AGHH! Do your work! Don't be like me. :)

I started doing C25K yesterday! I really like it. It's pretty easy right now but I looked ahead and I hope my body doesn't give out when I have to start running for longer periods of time. Haha. Let me know how the C25K goes for you! YAY! We'll be finished with it in NO TIME!! :)
 
I've realized that I have what it takes to lose this weight. And I have a great feeling that 2009 is going to be the time I do it. I just have to practice getting active hobbies. Even if that means playing DDR... that burns a ton of calories. I haven't really even started by day yet. lol. I've been talking and hanging out with Dan's younger brother, he asked me to put liberty spikes in his hair. (lol) And I know it is a nice day out, so I am thinking that as soon as I am done with this entry I will throw on some sweat pants and go for a 5 mile walk. (well, I need to charge my cell phone first because I will listen to the radio on it while I walk) then when I get back I will do some homework and put away my clean clothes.

2009 is THE year. I will reach my goals. And I don't have to deprive myself of ANYTHING... I just have to eat in MODERATION, learn to say NO, and develop a few more active habits and hobbies.
 
I love ddr and we h avent played in forever!

As for c25k I cant get the damn think on my mp3 player and when I do it isnt actually there, gggrrr I have wasted so much time trying to deal with it.

I am trying to get running down via the treadmill, my endurance timnes just really vary, sometime si can run for over 60 secs and sometimes I cant even run for 30 secs, but my boot cmap instructor told me, it is cuz i try to run too fast and Im leaning forward and not landing properally.I have a friend that runs slowly and just leasrnt her running speed.Im gonna start running with her:)

Ive decided that if I do choose to try to do the c25k I am just gonna ask my daughter if i cna put it on her ipod and borrow briefly for the times I need it.

:D:D:DI really liek you Hun and you most certaintly will do this!!!

Oh and thanx for being a good friend:hug2:

DDR is amazing. I might want to play it later tonight after I do some yoga I think.

I run slowly when I do run, so I don't have to get discouraged and run out of energy before the program is over.

I *heart* YOU Cinderelly!!! You are such a good friend. *HUGSS*
 
After my last post I decided to take time and just put my headphones on and be happy with myself while my phone charged. I ended up in a really great mood, and I really appreciate my life and what I have. I wouldn't change it for ANYTHING. Then I went on an hour long walk with Dan's younger brother. I have yet to do the C25K, but I might actually throw on my bright yellow reflective vest thingy and go running in the dark, when people probably won't see me- but still will be able to see my vest. lol. And I will play DDR tonight when I am bored as well.

I am started to see myself as not so huge and obese anymore. I see myself now as overweight, but I can look at myself and say "I'm not fat". And thats a good feeling. I just see myself as "overweight". I don't know how to describe what I am really trying to say- but pretty much I am happy with how I look, I'm just trying to make myself look even better. I like having a self esteem some days. (though it isn't very frequent)
 
hey so glad you see you feeling good and what plans you are making! If you start jogging just go really slow and build in small amounts dont go all out I speak from experience.
 
That's so good to hear, Brandy. I truly believe that valuing yourself properly like this, will help you achieve the goals you have with your weight and health. :)
 
Well, sweetie, it seems as though you have a terrific attitude right now! Go for it hun take all the positive energy you can pull out of it and run with it!!!

BTW, sorry I've been ou tof here for a few days but... :hug2: I'm back around now!!
 
Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by my diary. I love having so much support here.

I have a lot of stuff to get done today, and I'm trying not to procrastinate at all.... but with me thats sorta hard. lol.

In an hour Dan and i are going to go on a walk for an hour, I am thinking about getting some yoga done before that, just 30 minutes or so when I finish my entry.

Then I have a lot of homework to get done today, and plenty of studying on top of that. The only other exercise I had planned for the day was a c25k run, but I'm trying to get over my fear of people seeing my run. :leaving:

I am on a mission to stick to my pound for pound challenge goal. 28pounds. I need to get to 178. As of right this second, I can't even begin to think what I would feel like at that weight. And after almost 2 1/2 years of being on WLF, the lowest I've seen was 199. You would think that if I could set a realistic goal to be at 178 in 4 months, that I would have been there already. But, it is for a very good cause, so maybe that will pump up the motivation?? I sure hope so! lol. I am going to go make my exercise plan for next week as well, and hope I stick to it better than I stuck to mine this week.

My mood has been fluctuating lately. I'm happy and sad all at once, and I really don't know what thats about... but I'm just trying to stay positive and stick through it until the weird mood swings are gone.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!
 
SHEESH. I put off reading 3 chapters for my baking class until an hour before I went to bed. ahaha. STUPID MOVE. There is 60 pages, big pages with small words. lol. I plan on staying up as long as it takes to finish reading the material. And I originally wanted to go to bed at 10:30pm so I could wake up at 6:00am and do some yoga. And I have a long day at school tomorrow, so I really don't want to short myself on sleep. But, I think I might sacrifice the yoga for more study time and more sleep if it comes down to it. We will see how it plays out I suppose.

Damn me for procrastinating!!
 
Hey Brandi!!! I'm getting ALL GOOD vibes coming out of this diary!! You have an amazing attitude right now!!! Keep it up and keep hitting it hard!! :) :)

HEH HEH HEH, Im a BIG ASS procasinator...

Just in general, scary thing is I am a mom and such and need to be organized for work.Work no prob, kid stuff mostly, me nah...LOL

I was wondering Sweety, if you wanna be accountable to eachother once the challenge is over...

Maybe we can start a thread, create some goals to follow and check in daily or when we can?

Or is that too much for you with everything else going on?

Just let me know ka...if your interested.
 
Thank you to everyone who has come and supported me.

AND GUESS WHAT!?? I didn't get to post this yesterday when I found out because time got swept away...

I am going to a job interview!! :D It is NOTHING that I actually WANT to do in my career... but it is going to be money, ya know? It is at a BMW dealership as a cashier/receptionist type thing. But it will be more than minimum wage (or so I was told by my mom) and I will start having hours again.

I don't care what I have to do, I just want to have an income again! My bakery hasn't given me hours in the past 5 weeks. I'm not layed off or anything... they just aren't making enough money to have any hourly bakers on schedule. Only 1 person is working- and that is the owner's daughter. (aka the manager.)

Well, I am off to beautify myself and try and get to the job interview in all this snow!
 
How fabulous Brandy!! Good luck!! I can't see why they wouldn't hire you on the spot:) Sucks about the bakery! but your right money is money and if they give you hours at a good wage then that is awesome!!
 
That's awesome Brandy! After what you've been through with your boss at that bakery I think you could use a change. I'll be prayin for ya to get the job :)
