Brandy's Success Diary

Hey busy girl! I hope you have a great week! It's amazing how things can just pile up with schedule's. I am sorry you had such a rough day at work and I hope it goes better today. It is a paycheck but you shouldn't be treated like that. Just keep your head high and give it a few more chances but honestly if they keep acting like that I might consider looking for something else!
Your kitty is very cute:) I love kitties but I am so allergic!! I had to give my cat away which made me very sad. Gave her to my ex actually lol. So at least I know she is in a good place with someone who knows her.
Sorry haven't been commenting much but I have been reading so wishing you a happy and successful week!!
P.S. love love love the Harry Potter series! It was a let down it had to end but at least I didn't have to wait another 2 years for a new book!! lol I have been interested in the Twilight books after seeing the movie. Not sure if I am ready to start another saga lol :D
 
Thanks Michelle and Tru.

Another thing to add in the plate- my mom is in the hospital. Nothing TOO serious, she has pancreatitis (ummm.... I think thats how its spelled/pronounced) and she has to get her gallbladder out. But she has to wait for the pancreas to not be infected anymore before they can do surgery, so she is stuck in the hospital. She's in a lot of pain, one of the ONLY 2 times I've seen my mom cry in pain in my ENTIRE life. She has a BIG pain threshold. I don't know whats going on or when anything is going happen. Just trying to get all my homework done, go to school, go to work, and help take care of my mom in the hospital. Today I brought her 3 puzzle books, a deck of cards, a couple pens, a pack of soft tissues, and a bottle of poland springs water. Just so she has a little more to do when she's bored. Besides watch TV, and its hard for her to read because there is an IV in her arm and she can't bed one of them to read her book.

Still trying to get through the week....
 
Aw. That is rugged, Brandy. What you said about the pancreatitis fits what I have been told about it too. I hope she recovers from the infection quickly. ((hugs)) to you.
 
Wow. That's rough Brandy. I have heard about pancreatitis affecting people the way it has your mum. I hope the infection starts to reduce really fast for her. ((hugs)) to you too - you sure do have a lot going on right now. I'm sure your mum is glad to have you on her side right too.
 
Thank you Felici, I'm sure my mom will be better in no time, she's a fighter. I don't like the hospital she is at, as I have had a couple friends and family members die there.... but they had SERIOUS problems. I guess a gallbladder surgery is decently-routine.

I am supposed to be doing homework and chores and STAYING AWAY from this place. lol. But its my little escape between assignments, so I update whats on my mind anyways. I haven't been exercising at all, and therefore not losing much weight. And I need to be. I need to re-commit myself every day despite my schedule.

I'm very lucky that all I have for homework before I go to school today at 2pm is readings. A lot of readings, but only reading. I think I will cook up some chicken breast and maybe some rice and a veggie, and pack myself a dinner before I go to the hospital tonight. And maybe I'll cook up some extra so I can eat something good before I go to work these next couple days.

As for exercise, I'm going to have to squeeze in some jogging minutes this week. I don't want to do videos because that would mean staying indoors, where I will feel guilty for not keeping up with chores and homework instead. So I will get myself outdoors as a MUCH NEEDED BREAK, and to get plenty of exercise in.

Now back to my regularly scheduled day....
 
Exercising outdoors would be an ideal option right now. Blow away your inside issues for a while.

If your mum is having laproscopic surgery on her gall bladder then that will probably just be a little bit of a blip - not a big deal really - not when I had it anyway - a couple of nights in hospital and a few weeks of not straining the muscles, but feeling fine.

I hope her pancreas is settling down.
 
Good News. My mom had her operation today, and everything went well. She will probably get to go home tomorrow morning. She says she's in A LOT of pain right now though. I'm glad nothing bad happened. I had a really busy day today. Its 11pm and I just got home for the first time since 7:30am. UGH. rofl. Just to do it again tomorrow, but with an added hour of work!!! ahhha.
 
im glad all went well.i had that surgery and it took me forever to recover adn i had alot of complications...how is work going?
 
So very glad for you mom Brandy. I know the stress of surgery and mom's for sure! You are doing great. Just keep going! lol Dory just popped into my head;) . Just keep swimming:D
Have a good weekend!
Can't believe in a few months you will be done with school!!
 
I was told last night by my general manager that people at my work think that I am rude. Ummm.... I'm not. lol. I cried for like an hour last night because that hurt my feelings. I'm such a baby. A good night sleep did me well, and tonight I will go out of my way to be as "happy" as I can, and prove them all wrong. I was having a bad day yesterday.. well, sorta. I was just tired because I didn't get any sleep the night before, I woke up at 6:30am, and I wasn't home until 12:00 midnight. I was just tired and my feet killed from being at work for 9 hours... not to mention school for 5 hours. It was just a mess for me. And I couldn't find the energy to walk... let alone SMILE and be SUPER friendly to everyone.

But what made me REALLY happy was that Dan got out of work before me that night and left me presents in my car. He bought me a dozen roses, and the twilight movie that I wanted to buy this week! And he left me a note that said "You are my whole world, I love you so much" and he told me he left it for me because he was so proud of me for working hard and because he doesn't want me to think he doesn't love me just as much as he did when we first started dating. He's the world's best boyfriend. <33

Now I am going to go take a shower, watch twilight and eat lunch, and then start on a school project before I work later tonight. Then I think I am off until next Friday... Unfortunately I am working Friday,Saturday, and ALL DAY Easter. UGHGGGHGHGHGHGGH. I didn't want that. But at least its money.
 
I have had the most crazy week EVER. Too much work and school for me. I used yesterday to go shopping for a few things and to relax. It was wonderful, but I haven't done my paper for school thats due today. lol. So I am skipping the class right now, doing the paper, and I'll hand it in before my second class in the afternooon. Work and school is proving to be a bit much for me. But its not that much longer that I'll have to deal with it.

I am still at 205.4.... not much is coming along. I gained a bit and then lost it again. I haven't gotten any exercise in... except for running around with my head cut off at work.

I just want to RELAX and NOT have to worry about having to do school work or go anywhere.

Only another 5 weeks or so and then it will be JUST work, not work/school/homework.

Love it! I totally relate. Hang in there. Sometimes maintaining is a big achievement - it's surely worth it compared with a gain.
 
I'm in the 204's now. I'm pretty excited about that. :D I have had a problem with eating lately. It seems that no matter what I eat... I feel nauseous afterward. I am not sure why. So I have been eating still, just really small meals. which I suppose is what I am supposed to be doing anyways.

I have an essay to write right now, and I'm procrastinating it like always... big surprise. I always do that. But after school I have some FREE TIME. WOOHOO. I might go on a little date with Danny, or I might cuddle up with a good book and relax. Either way I will enjoy my night.

Because I have had some bad weeks,I will not be getting to 175 by my anniversary in the end of May, but hopefully I will get to 190 by then. That is my little goal for myself again. I only lost 9.2 pounds in the past 6 week challenge I was in... even though I couldn't finish the last couple weeks because I couldn't find the time. I can't honestly sit here and blab about how I will kick it into overdrive so I will make my next goal, because I know I don't have the time to energy to do that right now. Not with school, work, household chores and errands, and visiting family. But I will eat healthy, and get out to exercise when I can. And I think I can make my next goal. My step father told me last night that he thought I lost some weight. That made me pretty happy to hear... but I really haven't lost all that much so I didn't really know what to say. Besides.. thanks. haha.

Well, I must go back to doing my homework. Class is in the next 3 hours and I still have my essay to write. ahahaha. I'm a bad student.
 
Hey! If he is saying he sees you lost weight he prolly does. At 10 lbs lost i didnt feel like i looked any different eiether... but others seemed to see it so hey... take all the compliments you can get and hang in there... you see yourself EVERYDAY.... and are the most critical... im sure you are changing in subtle ways maybe you havent noticed yet.


Hang tight and keep working hard... you will make your next goal i am sure of it!!! :)
 
I have very little time to update, I have to leave for work in 7 minutes. I have been super busy and my eating has been very poor. I just haven't really cared what I've eaten. I need to precook some healthy things so I can more efficiently grab-n-go.

I cannot find any room in my schedule to get exercise. The only spare minutes I have need to go towards errands, chores, studying, and homework. I will make room eventually. My weight hasn't budged. I definitely need to eat healthier though. In another 5 weeks I will be out of school for the semester and will have plenty more time for exercise and healthy cooking.

Now I must go and throw on my work pants and head out the door!!
 
Sometimes it really is hard to make everything work at once. Just hang in there - and don't gain!!

At least you don't have a mum in hospital any more - and I hope your time at work is also less stressful now.
 
Hope you had a restful Easter! The end of all this craziness is just around the corner! Hope you get some time for yourself:)
 
HELP! In search of simple, short exercise routine to fit into a very hectic schedule!!!

Yeah... I need to figure something out now that the weather is getting nicer. And I am not positive when I'll be able to do things... night/early/midday.... Because everything is NUTS. I am going to go figure something out.
