Brandy's Success Diary

I'm sore. I'm tired. I don't want to move. I'm bloated. I have a headache. I am miserable. I just want to sit and eat fruit. Yes.... fruit. I feel like I have an addiction. rofl.

Dan has to go to work tonight, and its bumming me out. I want to cuddle with him all night. It is the only thing that makes me feel better.

I feel grubby because I haven't showered at all today. And that is making my mood weird too.

I got in 90 minutes of exercise yesterday. Pretty much constantly moving for that long. (running, walking, playing basketball, playing frisbee, playing at a playground). Thanks to Gillian (my 5 year old sister) for getting me out and moving.

Food wasn't good today. But i still have calories to work with for the rest of the day. So... its not horrible I suppose.

Blah. I have a ton of stuff I could get done tonight.... but motivation to do ANYTHING (even fun stuff) is out the window.

Damn Womanhood.
 
lol yes womanhood sucks!
At least it doesn't last too long! Hope you get to feeling more motivated and that you have a good weekend!!
 
By "damn womanhood" I'm guessing we're both dealing with the monthly visitor, lol. I felt the same the past several days and felt guilty for doing nothing but then finally said screw it and gave myself permission to relax. That was very foreign. Unfortunately I also gave myself permission to pig out the last two days :X . Shhh....dun tell, lol.
 
TOM just came, so I'm experiencing a lot of "first day" pains. ugh.

Well, I've had some realizations. The "adult" world is coming at me fast, and I am just NOT ready for it. Scares the shit out of me. I'm not getting much money back in my taxes, and I need money. Very badly. So I am on a "conserving money" thing. And I will be going out and applying to jobs today. Even though I am absolutely miserable and would rather not. No more laying around and procrastinating. I can't afford to do that any more. My priorities will be my priorities, and I will not rest until they are done. It HAS to be that way, or my life will go no where. So from now on... my "to do" lists will become detailed and I will keep them with me wherever I go.... so I know what needs to be done each day.

I am going to finish up in WLF, then go take a shower, wake up Danny from his nap (he is sick with a really bad cold), then get myself ready and go out to apply for jobs. And i will keep applying until I get a position somewhere. Because I have no other choice.

I am completely capable of being an "adult", but instead I try to treasure the "teens" and "college kid" years... and I am running out of time for that.

Edit: Looked on Craig's List to find some job positions, and I came across a joint called "Extreme Pita" that is like a healthy fast food place. It pays minimum wage... but who cares. It is a job!! And healthy food! lol. I am also going to apply for some jobs near my mom's house. And truly whatever else I can find.

I have also made my to-do list for today, which includes job searching, homework, cleaning, and exercise.

And with that... the responsible Brandy emerges.

Good luck with the job hunt, Brandy! That healthy fast food place sounds good. I bet you'd be good for them too. Fingers crossed for you.
 
I have made a list of places to apply to tomorrow, and Dan is going to go with me for support while picking up the applications.

I have been very organized between yesterday and today. I have my lists in place for today, and have to do a bunch of homework, and catch up on laundry.

I am really excited for the 6 week challenge to start tomorrow, I have to get my measurements and pictures posted today for the "before" part. By the end of the 6 week challenge I hope to be 195 lbs.

I have a schedule in plan for exercise this week, as well as preparing meals ahead of time. Hopefully that should make for NO EXCUSES. And I do not want to be kicking myself at the end of this challenge because I didn't push myself far enough. :banghead:
 
I'm in a really good mood right now because Dan got to come home early from work- so that means more time to spend with my <3 love <3!

I have gotten a lot of cleaning done already. Trying to keep up on the laundry that I have to do. And I have been doing homework, but every assignment I have takes a lot of time. Pretty much my point is that I have an entire day's work ahead of me. But, by getting most of the major homework done today... I can spend the rest of the week concentrating on exercise for the challenge. Today... a total slack and planning day. But.. I planned for it. So whatever.
 
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!

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.
kc :)
 
Thank you everyone for stopping by. Day 1 is going great! I know I will be able to reach my goal. Very unfortunately I have a bad cold, and I can't exercise at my full potential. But I can still go on walks and get some yoga in. I'll be pleased if i can keep up with exercising daily.

All I've had today is a tuna sandwich and some mini pringles... I'm at 325 calories for the day. So, I am going to make myself a snack of broccoli and summer squash, figure out something for dinner in a couple hours, and then have a 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks for dessert later tonight.

Lots of homework to catch up on tonight, so I am going to go have myself a healthy snack and then head out on a walk. :D
