Brandon's Big Adventure

ROAD TRIP!!!!

Monday, December 5, 2005 23:01:17

Okay. Tomorrow I head off to Tampa for 10 fun filled days of directing a video and photo shoot at the International Academy of Design and Technology - www.academy.edu ( yes I am a marketing whore!!!).

This is going to be tough because I eat when I am stressed and and there is nothing more stessfull than dealing with a bunch of creative divas in training. (they think that they know it all) let alone a pres. that has enough ideas to send the shoot off in a different dierection. Ok... I am done complaining... I really love what I do for a living!!! and I'm just afraid that I will blow the progress that I have made.

The other fear that I have is "HAPPY HOUR" Yes, that wonderful time of the day where your meet you friends for a drink or two or 10 and blow off steam. I know that I can control myself. But, it is the munchy food that I have a problem with.

Well now that I have opened up this can of worms I will have to be on my best behavior and report in ( will share pics and what not)

Maybe I should dye my hare another color than blonde - They tend to shy away from me when I go with a crazy color- hmmmmmm Comments(1)

I NEED A PLACE TO SWEAT!

Today I am going to check out health clubs and Gyms. Not much to choose from here but I need to find a place to go and workout. I know that I should just grab my ipod and go for a walk but I have found that I need to have others around me to motivate me to keep going. Besides, I work from home (not as great as you would think) and it would be nice to be around other people that want to loose weight and get in shape as well. I will keep you posted on where I decided to go.

My choices are:
• Gold's Gym
• Ultimate Fitness
• Bettendorf Family Health Center
• Bettendorf YMCA

In a way I am kind of happy that there is not a Bally's or Lifestyle in the area. Not sure I can deal with all the plastic (do they have plastice people in the midwest?). Comments(2)

Here I go.

Well I have done it. I have reached a point that I swore that I would never hit. I broke the 350lb. mark! OMG!!!!! IM NOT ONLY FAT, I AM HUGE!!!!!!!!

I have started Nutrisystem and WILL Drop 150lbs!!!! I have tried WW, Jenny and many many other diets and have lost and gained the wieght over and over. (starting to sound like an infomercial).

This time I am going to do it. I dont want to die at such a young age and I need to take control of my life. I am tired of having to travel for work and leavng for the airport 3 hours early in hope that I can either upgrade or get a exitrow seat just to be comfortable on the flight (no need to a belt extender but It is getting tight) or having people look in horror as I walk down the aisle praying I dont sit next to them and I thought it was the green hair)

This blog is going to be my way of keeping myself true and maybe it will help someone else out there in the world as well. I will post as often as possible and add pics and what not of my journey to lose my evil twin (my name for the 150lbs I want to lose). Comments(2)
