Its only 5 pm...but I haven't exercised yet today. I am going to...just it will probably be later tonight. I have a lot that needs to get done for Monday, and tomorrow is Easter so I won't have a lot of time to complete it tomorrow. I have to catch up on Match homework and class notes because I have missed about a month or more worth of classes!! And I missed 1 test...but it was because I was in the hospital one day. I have to start attending class again. Because this is getting ridiculous and I don't want to have a failing mark bring down my GPA. I've already had that happen in an English class.

Food today:

Breakfast-sleeping.
Lunch- 1/3 of a Kai Kaprow. (spicy chicken and rice) Thai food.
Dinner- Japanese food from last night. Chicken Teriyaki with a bit of rice.

I guess I shouldn't have the rice...but the total amount is pretty minimal. Lots of protein too!!!

Yay for looking great for the evening in the pretty new shirt and perfect make-up! Yay for Dan and the pants that look good!

Rice is ok - good for you even as long as the amount isn't too big - and it wasn't - so that's not an issue!

It sounds like your weight has finished up great for the week - a little TOM inspired blip doesn't count.

I took the day off from school today because I got NO sleep last night. I have had a migraine that just WONT go away, not to mention the TOM cramps. So I didn't go to school today...and instead got some sleep. I haven't exercised today...which is bumming me out.

Food so far today:

1 bowl of cheddar and broccoli soup
3 mini chocolates
4 chicken fingers
lemon water

I am aiming to do about 100 minutes per day through Thursday.

I hope that it helps with the weight I've gained from TOM.

Goal this week: 211... can I do it? I sure hope so.

I spent a while exercising. Its really hard during TOM for me to work up a lot of energy. I'll just have to push and fight through it!

1 hour of yoga done.
15 minutes of strength done.

I still need to find 25 more minutes of stuff to do... probably more strength. I'm not sure if I have the energy to do much cardio today. i have walked a decent amount. But I can't count it because it was around the mall and parking lot.

I am excited to lose weight for my anniversary. I have 9 more weeks before my anniversary... and 23 more pounds. It is sort of pushing it. But I might work all that much harder. By 190 I will be able to fit into my size 14's... which will greatly increase my wardrobe. Because I have lots of size 14's around...and quite a few 13's.

I've really been looking forward to my goals...because they all have great dates to go along with it.
The first one I set for myself would have been easier to reach if I didn't slack for 2 weeks because I was sick. But I REALLY want to push to achieve this. I can definitely do it... but I'm going to have to work my hardest...and NOT slack. 190 by May 27th.

And I want to be 175 by The last week in July. I have a vacation to go on... and last year I was really heavy. I saw pictures of myself... and I was horribly disgusted by them. This year I want to be able to go on walks every morning... swim all day, and make healthy choices. Last year I made AWFUL food choices when I was there. I have developed so much in that aspect. I didn't even care last summer. I would sit and read instead of swim and run around. I wouldn't go around the campground in the mornings despite being invited by some of the other girls. This year I'll go around a lot. I'll go jogging plenty!

Well... I'm just going to go find more exercises to do before my night's over.

Your gonna do it Brandy! You are on the road to success, I just know it. Have a great week!

What a great post. Your motivation is so strong these days - it's really good to see.

Hi ya sweetness! Sorry that nasty migraine kept you up the other night. I know you'll get in your exercise, regardless. I am pulling for you to get into those size 14s by your anniversary. I'm sure you will if you keep up all the great work.

I sprained my ankle yesterday. It sucks because I wanted to go running today. But my ankle hurts too badly to do that. So I am going to do a lot of strength training, yoga, and Pilates.

My food isn't AMAZING... but I think its pretty good.

I've done 20 minutes of working my arms so far. LOT more to come.

My food today has just been absolutely awful...and no exercise to boot. UGH. Tomorrow will be better. I have almost everything planned out.

I had hurt my ankle...but today it is almost 100% better. I can walk on it again! I am at my mother's house this weekend dog & house sitting. I have a lot that I need/want to get done today. And I think I have time for it!!!

I need to catch up on math homework
Study for a mid-term exam.
Go on a walk... I want to get in about an hour to 2 hours of exercise in today
I need to do some dishes for me mom


I think that's it. Its really all I can think of. lol.

Math homework will probably take 2 or 3 hours to catch up on.
Studying will probably take another hour
Exercise- 2 hours.
Dishes/cleaning.... probably 1 hour.

thats 9 hours of stuff!!! And thats not including time to eat.

Food so far today has been pretty scarce.
I had a Green Giant Simply Steam garden vegetable medley (sugar snap peas, roasted potatoes, and red peppers with garden herbs) It was only 100 calories! But I really need to think of some other things to eat today. I think I will munch on grapes while I do my work.

Dan is at work right now, and I would like to get a lot of stuff done before he comes home...but he won't be home until 10 pm probably- if not later. Stupid work!!!

Well, I am in a great mood... and would love to sit and type forever about whats on my mind... but I can't. FAR too much to get done!!!

I just took a 10 minute jog around my house while my food was in the oven. I think I made 60 laps between my living room and kitchen (i ran in a circle) lol. I feel good now!

I need a way to stop boredom eating.

Let me know if you come up with anything. I still haven't found anything to stop me from boredom eating and I am open to suggestions. Have a good weekend Brandy.

I know it helps to go on a walk, or get involved with doing something else...so youre no longer bored... but sometimes.... nothing helps me. lol.

I just danced around the house for 20 minutes. It made a great way to stop myself from eating for no reason. I worked up quite a sweat. I have drinken 6 cups of water so far today. I still have 2 more to go for my goal. My food plan did not work today. AT ALL. I think its because I'm at my mother's house... and there is nothing but snacky crap foods. So... thats what I ate. But the 30 minutes of exercise today made me feel good. And I'm still trying to drink as much water as possible. This week's goal is to get to 210. Totally possible as long as I don't screw up EVERY DAY.

Tomorrow's food will be better!! Because I know I won't be snacking all damn day! I have plenty of grapes for tomorrow..plus the kiwi!!

I'm in a great mood... even though I'm disappointed in the unhealthy foods today. I don't even understand why I do it...because it disgusts me!! I have to figure this out!!! Even if it took me 3 weeks to lose and keep off 4 pounds... I'm ok. I know its going to stay off. I feel better and better about myself as I wake up every day....and set my mind to "think thin".
