Tracey's wedding weight loss attempt (comments welcome & needed!!)

[eeyore25]

Hi Tracey - Thanks for sending the sun....I mentioned it in my journal, I think the sun got sidetracked, but it finally made it just in time for the weekend!!! I enjoyed it!!

I agree with everyone else, you are on holiday....don't worry abou it. We all fall off when things are a little out of whack! You'll get back on track!!!

Have a great day

I'm worried about all the snow & cold weather you guys are having! Usually we get your weather about 1-2 weeks later!! I've packed all my winter clothes away!!!

They have forcast snow & freezing tempretures for the weekend!!!
Thanks guys

Monday
b/fast - cereal
lunch - soya & linseed bread sandwich with cheese & onion filler, yogurt
dinner - potatos in a cheese sauce with salad & fish in a tomato & cheese sauce.

Went to gym
Really struggled today though Just did cardio.
Gary off work with his bug!!

Tuesday
b/fast - toast with low sugar apricot jam
lunch - cheese & ham roll, yogurt, strawberries
dinner - spicy Asian soup with one slice of soya & linseed bread, sugar free choc pudding with a biscuit (cookie!) crumbled on top.

Went to bums & tums class

Back at work, been feeling down but i'm putting that down to being tired & being in the middle of TOM!!!

DD wanted to quit choir, i wasnt happy with her! Everytime she starts something as soon as it gets a little bit hard she wants to quit, gave her a big lecture about how you have to work for what you want & shes agreed to give it a try for a few more weeks! If she can keep it up till September she will go into the senior choir where i think she will enjoy it more as they have more participation.
Was i too hard??

Thanks for the well wishes for DH he is on the mend & went back to work today!
I was actually quite hard on him yesterday, cos he got up to go to work & sat on the side of the bed for 10 minutes looking like death & then plods across the room. He's also asmatic. So i shout 'why are you going to work are you stupid??? Youll just make yourself worse! just call in & tell them your ill'
symathetic eh

Julie - the weather was pretty warm for April - it actually hit 80 on Sunday!! April over here can go either way, warm, wet. windy, snow...you just never know! but temps not usually higher than hi 60's!!

I didnt send you & Jamie the sun so you could send back the snow!!!
Lets hope the weather man gets it wrong!!

I totally think follow through is one of the most important things you can teach a kid...I mean, it's only a couple more months, she can stick it out. Esp. if seior choir is something she'll really like! So good job, mom!

The bums and tums class made me What a great name for a class...I think I need some of that

Great job getting yourself to the gym, even though you didn't feel 100%, great dedication. And your food looks great as well. I've never heard of soya & linseed bread, but it certainly sounds healthy

take care!

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Tracey,

Hopefully TOM is on his way out soon!!! Way to go on getting your work out in..even though you were tired.

I don't think you were too hard your DD at all. I think she should wait it and see what happens!!! Good for you!

Keep up the great work!!

Have a great day

Wednesday

Woke up with a banging headache lasted all day & into Thursday, i think it might be from bums & tums class from doing loads of crunches!!!
Had back ache too!!! Isnt it supposed to be my bum & tum that aches - not my head & back!!!

b/fast - cereal
lunch - mexican chk salad, strawberries, yogurt
dinner - ham, tomato & mushroom omlette

Went to gym burnt over 700 cals
DH & i had words Tuesday night & arnt speaking at the moment

Thursday
Still got headache

B/fast - cereal
lunch - soya & linseed sandwich, yogurt, strawberries
dinner - having chk fahitas (SP!!)

Food been good so far this week

DH & i still not speaking!! I'm still too mad with him!!!

Bekki & Jamie - thanks DD is going to have ago at choir - fingers crossed!

Bekki - the soya & linseed bread is yummy, DH & DD says it tastes like bird seed!! But they still eat it!

 

[toystoryduo]

Tracey~

I hope you start feeling better.

Your food looks really good this week! Great job!

Hope you and your DH work things out soon.

Have a great day!

 

[lovinaz]

I always make DS finish what he started. It teaches them not to be quitters and also choose wisely when they sign up for something!

I hope you and DH are on speaking terms again... I'm sure it's all his fault!

I will be in Yeovil, which I believe is southwest of you. I wish it wasn't so far away or that I wasn't such a chicken to drive on the wrong (sorry, I mean left) side of the road! Maybe we can still work something out, it's still a month away!

You are doing great at the gym, I bet you are in great shape!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey lady. Time sure flies, doesn't it? You're doing great with going to the gym and with your food. Some of the stuff you eat, I have no idea what it is!! Can you start posting pics like people do in their WDW dining reports?

Take care girl. Our DH's always come around!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracey, hope you and dh are speaking again! Remember you can't order him around if you aren't speaking! I agree with Amy M., its probably his fault! Must be something in the air, my dh and I had a spat yesterday and I saw another journal mentioning the same thing (dh stress that is). I think you were right to say that to dd about choir. Sometimes you have to get a bit tough with the youngsters! In any case, I hope she sticks with it, it sounds like the next level would be more fun. I hope your snow goes away soon! Its been a strange spring here on Planet Earth! Have a great weekend!

 

[traceycooper]

Well the snow didnt come
Its actually been quite nice!! Seems the snow went to Scotland!

Friday
Headache finally gone
DH & i talking now never mentioned the argument we just started talking!!

Food
b/fast - cereal
snack - low fat hot choc drink... followed by several large scoops of dip & 2 small choc bars - collegues birthday
lunch - soya/linseed bread sandwich, yogurt, strawberries
dinner - pepperoni pizza made from wholemeal fahitagas (SP - i really must learn how to spell that!)

Went to gym
Saw my 'man friend' not sure if hes a bit creepy now, maybe its cos he told me he thought i looked great when we were discussing weight loss!!!

BIG NEWS
WI - LOST 2 LB'S
1st loss in months & months!!

BAD NEWS
Went out in the evening had too much alcohol...again & came home at midnight & ate chk & chips (fries) with cheese & mayo on top
Havnt got on the scale today as i dont want to burst my bubble!!

When we were walking to the pub, i got whistled at & shouted 'nice legs' ...even though they looked like 15 year old louts i was still pleased!!

Today (Saturday)

b/fast - none too full from last night!
lunch - 3 crispbreads, yogurt
dinner - off to DB's for a bbq, please let me have will power!! At least i wont be drinking as i'm driving!

Done nothing at all & feeling guilty! Think this exercise is getting addictive i'm itching to get to the gym tomorrow!
I wanted to go shopping until i balanced my cheque book
So i'm hiding out at home trying not to be tempted!

Thanks for stopping by friends

 

[bekkiz]

COngrats on the loss! That's fantastic (and I'm sure the fun time last night won't effect it )

I love that feeling where exercise is addicting. I think I'm just starting to get it. It certainly helps motivation

Have a great time at the BBQ!

 

[traceycooper]

Just a quick update
Wasnt good at the bbq!! by the time we got there i was starving as i'd only had 3 crispbreads & a yogurt all day!!
Had loads of dip & chips (cheese & chive dip is my weakness!!), 2 pieces of quiche, big pile of cous cous, small pile of pasta with tuna, 1 medium sized burger, 1 small piece of steak (smaller than my hand!),1 kebab & 1 small piece of toffee cheesecake with a pile of strawberries on the side with cream!
Drank diet coke.

Went to gym today, burnt 740 cals & then did 10 lengths in the pool.
I'm tired out!!

Today (sunday)
b/fast - cereal
lunch - small piece of ham & mushroom pie with green beans, small baked potato with cheese on top (felt i needed the carbs after my mad workout!)

DD went to the movies with a friend, so i had a walk around the shops - bought 2 tops

Off to chill, hope everyone had a great weekend

 

[toystoryduo]

Congrats on your weight loss and the compliments, Tracey!

I'm glad to hear that you and your DH are speaking again.

Hope you have a great week! Prayers coming for your granddad.

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Tracey. Glad you didn't get snow! We finally had some sunshine and warm weather!

I admire your restraint with shopping. I need some of that! I think this "surprise" trip to WDW is gonna cost more ahead of time, because I keep thinking of things I want to include in the reveal.

Have a great week!

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Tracey,

I am so glad the snow missed you!!! I love it when that happens. That happened to us a few weeks ago. They were calling for 10 plus inches of heavy wet snow and we didn't get a flake that day!

Congrats on the weight loss...that is great!!!!! And compliments...that means what you are doing is working!!! Keep it up.

You're doing great!!!

Have a great day

 

[Amy&Dan]

Glad Scotland got the snow instead of you! Well thats nice the guy at the gym and the young boys like your body! I am also glad you dh are speaking again! Don't worry about the bbq, sometimes we all need a splurge. Get right back on track, don't weigh for a few days and the scale will come out just fine. You are doing great, that is awesome you had a loss of two pounds. You have come out of the dry spell, good for you!

 

[traceycooper]

I admire your restraint with shopping. I need some of that!
