Day 134 and Weigh-in Update and 135


So Sunday was the day yesterday and it was a pretty good day considering my current circumstances. Started off with me and Scotty bein able to go to church and take the sacrament. That was really nice and a good change of pace. We came straight back to Wellspring and changed clothes and started to play some soccer. That was real fun and we enjoyed that. I had 4 goals which was cool. Im starting to get more agile and am able to run a little bit more each day. Then we went bowling and I bowled a 158. Pretty good for not bowling really ever but that was a good time. After that we all just chilled and enjoyed an easy evening.

Wake up this morning was at 6:30. Pretty intense. hahaha. Weigh-in Days always throw me off a little bit. I lost 3 pounds since thursday and am at 338. pretty crazy. 18 lbs from the 100 mark and feelin pretty good. I feel like my body is losing at a good steady pace that I will be able to maintain at home. All is well. This week we are gonna hit it hard and see if we can get a big big loss. we will see what happens. Today monday will be a good day. We have a couple activities before lunch, one after, and then group at 4:15. Should be a really good day. All is well. Miss you all very much. Brandon OUT!!!!

Day 131,132, and 133


So pretty much I havent really been writing as well as I used to or maybe as much as I should. Things here just so rarely change and it seems like I can never really come up with anything to write. So I am just gonna write a snippit from each day and give you a classically handsome pic like usual and we will call it a day.

Thursday consisted of just hanging out. I was parents weekend so group got cancelled which is fine and the pm activity got cancelled because there was a talent show for the parents so we all went to that. Scotty to Hotty was singin some stuff and that was way good. He did his first number which was song by kings of Leon and then he did love story by Taylor Swift. hahaha. It was fantastic.

Friday was the graduation ceremony for the High School and transition ceremony for people who were leaving. It was cool and the talks were pretty good. After that we had an activity at like 230 and then movies that night. I went and saw prince of persia which was pretty good. I mean it wasnt the greatest but it was good and very clean which is always nice to see.

Saturday..... Today so far has consisted of breakfast and me writing on this blog. we have activity in a few and I believe we are playing some basketball which will be real fun. hahha. I hope it goes well. Anyway Stacy and Nick and Kairi and P money are at my parents today and Sarah is with them having a great time. I miss you guys alot and cant wait to see you all. All is well here. just doin work.

Be Safe, Be Strong, Be Someone to REMEMBER.........

Day 130 and Weigh in


Wednesday was a pretty regular day here at Wellspring. We started off with a group PT session from our trainer here and that was intense. High knees, jumping, toe taps, back pedaling, and a bunch of other stuff later and I am sore. It was a great work out but it was pretty crazy. Whats awesome to me is that my whole life when we would do that kind of stuff in PE I was always the last one. Everytime. Now I finish, because this is a fat school, mid to front. and I am the heaviest college student here. Thats pretty cool I guess. After that I had a BC session at 1015. That went pretty good. We discussed me going home and the things to expect and talked about my OCC that I just returned from on monday evening. Then we went swimming for the next activity which is always nice. Its a real change of pace here and I enjoy it cuz I dont go through clothes as fast when I swim. uhhhhh We then chilled for a while and I moved into my new room. Matt left and his room had a bathroom without a joining room next to it so I pulled my senior card and took it. I think this weekend Bill is going to move in with me. Thats gonna be real tight. Like literally. But it will be fun. Then tomorrow night we played soccer and that was pretty cool I guess. Overall it was a good day. Missing home a lot still. Missed my pops birthday yesterday which sucked because I know that the family was all together, sarah included. But I am doin alright considerin I guess.

Weigh in this morning cuz no one woke me up wednesday to weigh in. I didnt know what to expect with the whole OCC bein just a little bit ago and for like 6 days but I lost 4 lbs. I am now at 341. Thats pretty cool I guess. All is well. Miss you all very much.

Day 128-129


Well anyway the past two days have been rather depressing. Yesterday was monday and it sucked because I had to send my girl home. That was real terrible. I didnt want to let her go but I had to. Then I went back to wellspring and that really really sucked a lot. Today consisted of some working out and some chillin. I really dont want to be here right now. I want to go home with my family. and Sarah. Its so tough sometimes. But oh well. I am really tired so I better go.



Take The Inish!

Day 122-127






Hello Worth the Weight followers!! This is Sarah, updating blog post 122-127 for the B-man himself. The days are as follows:

Wednesday (122)

Wednesday was an awesome day!!! Brandon and I got to see each other!! What what!!! I arrived at Fresno airport at approximately 15:30, I rang Brandon when I stepped off the plane, and he was there waiting. My anticipation was through the roof! I couldn't swipe the smile off my face. And then............I SAW HIM!!! He was smiling too. After the airport, we went to celebrate our 9 month at Chili's. It was good. The day was fantastic! It had been a month and 2 days since I had last saw Brandon so...seeing him was awesome. He looks great!

Thursday (123)

Thursday was just chillin. Nothing too exciting. We chilled with Bill and Brooke all day long. They are pretty cool. It was nice to meet some of Brandon's friends at Wellspring.

Friday (124)

Friday was colossal! We went to King's Canyon National Park. It was a long drive but it was gorgeous. Once we got into King's Canyon, we toured Boyden Cave. That was pretty cool. Lots of cool formations in the cave. After the cave we went and saw some giant trees!! The biggest one we saw was about 265 feet tall!! HUGE!! It was pretty cool. We had fun that day.

Saturday (125)

Saturday was another day of chillin. We all had fun, went shopping, and ate some good food at Famous Daves. Brandon got some saweeeeet kicks (I picked them out). After that stuff we went and played some ball. It was pretty fun. Bdizz has got some serious skills, but so do I. I stuffed him about 3 times. Ya know... Saturday was a pretty fun day.

Sunday (126)

So today I was not able to make a flight out of here so I am still with Brandon. Needless to say...we weren't too disappointed. All of the flights in the morning were booked so I was going to catch a 4:17 flight out but it booked up in a matter of 45 minutes!!! I was shocked!!! So I am going back tomorrow. There's another 4:17 flight that should stay open. But today we've have all just been chillin. Currently myself, Brandon, Brooke, and Bill are watching the Suns vs. Lakers game. GO SUNS!!!!!

That is all...until we meet again.

Brandon says hi!

Day 120


good ol weigh-in days are always very hard for me to keep going cuz i get real tired. But today was overall a pretty good day. It was raining all day here which is always kinda tough cuz the mood changes so quickly. But I think I did my best to keep up the hard work. I was able to go and get my car today from the shop. She is runnin like a champ. The rest of the day was fine, nothing too crazy or out of the ordinary happened. I am really looking forward to Thursday cuz I get to see my girl that day. Should be great.

Day 117, 118, and 119


So I havent really written a blog post in a few days and for all my loyal fans I am sorry about that. I have ben really tired and I really havent felt like it very much but I am going to try tonight to write it for you. So lets get it started.

Friday....


Pretty normal day here at wellspring with the exception of the movies. We got to go and see robin hood which was pretty good in my opinion. The day we pretty good. I met with Bob and discussed my feelings. haha. Not to many there but overall a pretty good meeting. Then we just chilled the rest of the evening. Nothing really that exciting happened.

Saturday.....


the Day started out pretty normal with a morning activity. Then from there we had our pool party which was pretty good. It was from 11 to 4 and we just swam and played some team pool games. That was a pretty good time. Then after I was suppose to go and see george lopez do a stand up act but I was so drained after being in the sun all day. It really took it out of me. That wasnt so bad though cuz I slept pretty good last night. The rest of the evening was spent just relaxing and not really doing anything.

Sunday......


So today is sunday and the last day I need to write for tonight. The day was pretty long it seemed and the activities were tough cuz it was really hot today. Very hard to exercise when there isnt much shade. Pretty good day, mostly spent thinking about what this week will bring. OCC on Thursday. Sarah is flying out and a group of us are going to fresno for the weekend. That should be amazing. It is also Sarah and I's 9 month anniversary. pretty crazy stuff. Well I am thinking about calling her now. Its weigh-in tomorrow so lets hope for the best. Love you all.

Day 114


Today was a pretty good day. Tuesdays are never really bad at all and I actually didnt mind this one either. Today was pretty uneventful but we did get to go to the bookstore tonight and I did pick up some books. I know! me reading? well I decided that I would give it a shot because I figure I might as well work on that while I am here. It is 4 in the morning right now and Dave just left the Wellspring station. I wish him luck in the future because lets face it. If you come to wellspring you are part of a special group. One that was ready to change yourself. So we all can relate. So good luck Dave and have a good one. Well I might try to get a little more shut eye before my big day. Well its kinda the same as every other wednesday but you know. Its semi big. But anyway. Brandon sayin Deuces!!!

The pic today is one that I took during group, I love the glasses so dont be mean. After group we had dinner and soft serve!!! yes!!! I love these days. haha.

Day 111 and 112


holy smokes. I am now like missing two days at a time. oh man.

Saturday was an alright day. We didnt really do to much here at wellspring. I think I played some bball in the morning and then in the afternoon we went swimming which was nice. After that we went to the Pita pit and had some delicious pitas. Everything went very well. Nothing else happened that day here at wellspring. Sarah got stranded in Durango Colorado which is intense cuz they had some engine troubles with the plane. So they got a hotel and flew back this morning in a small 50 seater cuz their plane is getting fixed. Pretty INsane!!! I am just really glad that the woman I love is safe in her home tonight.

Sunday was one of the better days I have had here at wellspring and that is because I got to go and play some golf. We started off this morning with a little mini lesson for Bill and then I played some soccer. We hurried and got changed and it was off to the course for 5 hours of fun. haha. At hole six we started to play scramble so that we could hurry things up a little bit. All went well and I really enjoyed being out there again. Later on tonight I talked to sarah and now I am going to sleep.

Mom I love you so much and am so thankful for all that you do for me!!!
Grandma you are the best and I am so thankful for your support!!!

Happy Mothers Day!!!! and goodnight

Day 109 and 110


So I again forgot to write on the blog for yesterday and so it is another combined blog post.


Thursday.

Thursdays are always so much fun..... Today I didnt do too much. Just exercised a lot and had BC and Group. Met with bob and talked about just normal stuff. Running and thats about it. This morning I did the interview for the school DVD and I think it went ok. Nothing too special I guess. We had group later on and that went pretty good. Just talked about feelings and what not and after that we had some dinner where we got Soft Serve. Always a great addition to a day. We played Soccer for evening activity.

Friday.

So I woke up this morning and I wasnt feeling too good. I had a real bad sore throat and it didnt seem to let up. I slept till lunch and then had activity afterwards. I dont really feel that much better. Then tonight we went to Iron Man 2. sweetness. We had an enjoyable time and the movie was really good. I am glad that I went to that. After that I talked to sarah on the phone for a little bit and I always enjoy that. Now I am writing on my blog and then after I will tuck myself in and go to bed. well nighty night

Go Suns!!!!!

Day 107 and 108


So pretty much I forgot to write yesterday cuz I was basically just straight up exhausted. yesterday was a pretty good day. Worked out in the morning and before lunch and then after that I got to go swimming until 230 which was a nice change of pace. Then we came back and chilled until dinner and we got to go to the mall last night. I bought a few pairs of shorts and so that was good. Then I talked to Sarah on the phone and I went to sleep soon after. Its amazing to me the up and downs from this place. At one moment you feel very confident and joyful and then all the sudden you are thrown back down and realize you are stuck in the same small room, in the same small smelly place. I am really just kinda bored with the place here and I am trying and trying each day.

Then there is today.........

So far today I went to the gym this morning and did a nice arm work out. From there we came back here and I took an hour nap. I was wokin up by Dave Melear who was telling me and my roommate that we were nominated to be one of the students in the new wellspring video. So I guess we go meet with the marketing director tomorrow and she is going to interview us. I think it will be fun. There are a lot of others in it I think. Not sure. But anyway after lunch we played some ball and now I am waiting to go to culinary in 2 hours. I work and work so hard everyday and I feel like I am one of the people that isnt getting fast results. Its tough to keep you head up during that time. But anyway I hope everyone is doing well at home and I miss you all very much. Anyway I am going to go now.

Day 106



Today was a good day. I did alot. Well lets see. I walked this morning after weigh-in. Then went to a gym after that. Then we played some ultimate frisbee and football at a park after lunch. Had group at 4 and then played football tonight for activity. I am very very tired and my legs are too. I took a pic of my pedometer so you know how many steps I had today. Pretty crazy. haha. But other than that I am just chillin enjoying living and trying to push harder every day.

Day 105 and Weigh-in update


Well. Lets start off by doing the blog post for yesterday. Sunday. Yesterday was a good day. It started off with me going to church with my buddy. The ward was small and some of the people were a little bit off center but the church was the same and the spirit felt was the same. After church we came back and went straight to activity and walked it up. After that we had lunch which was ok. Then after lunch we had another activity at 3. We played basketball for that activity and after that Me and some other people went down to the beach. Well its the river but you have to like climb through a tree to get there and we swam in the river which was really cold but a good time non the less. We also scheduled a tee time for Me and Bill and Buff and Dave Melear for next sunday afternoon. I am really looking forward to that and to be able to get out and play some golf. That should be really exciting. Well after that we all just hung out and didnt do much. Good Day overall.

Weigh-in this morning went ok. I dont know why I get my hopes up so high for these but I lost 5. Im at 354 now which is good I guess It just feels like at this rate I am gonna be here forever. Oh well. We will keep working hard and get the job done.
