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

[kimwim8]

Hey Tracey! You've been SO good with your workouts lately!!

I gotta say, that bank holiday sounded like LOTS of fun. That's the kind of day I need....SOON!!! (maybe that'll be my Mother's Day wish )

Have a GREAT weekend!!

 

[traceycooper]

Not had a good end to the week! ;(

Thursday
b/fast - cereal
lunch - salad, yogurt, strawberries
dinner - soup with 1 slice of bread, 3 crispbreads

On my way to pick DH up from work a car pulled out on me & smashed all the passenger side in, luckily there was only me in the car. We only bought the car last October
The other driver has admitted it was his fault but i'm still mad, depressed, shook up & fed up!!

I went to the Dr next day as my right side was hurting - mild whiplash!
I'm determined to still get to the gym!!

Friday
b/fast - cereal
lunch - sandwich, yogurt, strawberries
dinner - 4 crispbreads then pizza & fries at 11pm

Went out in evening as DH wanted to watch a football match at the pub.
Drowned my sorrows!! had another jug of mai tai & felt better

Took my niece to the gym, we trained together & she really enjoyed it
It seemed to help with my aching shoulder/side.

Saturday
Took car to garage nearly $4000 to repair
Glad the other drivers insurance is paying!!!

B/fast - none
lunch - 4 crispbreads
dinner - having curry or fish & chips

Shoulder/side feels sore but no worse than before i went to the gym!
They say its best to keep moving!

So thats my weekend!
DH is gutted about the car its his pride & joy, but he did say that as long as i'm ok thats the most important thing!
Just makes you think how one minute life is ok & the next ...who knows what!!!

 

[tbstein]

OH no! I hope you are ok! HOw scarey! I can imagine how angry you are. I had my car hit while it was parked, and the driver didn't have insurance. Here in MI you have no fault. So, my car was still fixed, but in the long run, un-insured motorist increase our premiums. DH was in an accident. A motorcyclist crossed the line and lost control. Or course DH was horrified because he ran over the man's legs. (Thank goodness it was only his legs) Then, we had to pay the deductable (250) and the guy didn't have insurance, and he also tried to sue us for negligence. Said DH was on the cell phone. HA! DH doesn't have a cell phone and I don't think he knows how to use one! And, the guy was so silly, that he didn't even note that DS was in the car. So, the judge threw it out after he read the police report and all that jazz. Was a bit scarey for awhile!

Well, enough of me!

SO, did you have curry or fish Saturday? Some curry is just too hot for me. DH would live on hot spices if I let him!

Hope Mom's day was great, and hope your week is too!

Tracey. I'm so sorry to hear about the car accident. How are you feeling today? Sending lots of prayers and your way.

I can't wait to have a Mai-Tai @ WDW! I've never had one before and since you and Amy like them, I'm sure I will too!

Hope you have a good week!

Hi Tracey,

I am so sorry to hear that you were in an accident. At least like you said you were the only one in the car and you were not hurt terribly. How are you doing today? Did working out help you feel any better? Glad to hear that you aren't out any money and the other driver admitted fault to it!

Hope you are feeling better.

Have a great day

 

[traceycooper]

Courtesy car arrived, very nice but we want ours back asap!

Tuesday

b/fast - cereal
lunch - chk salad, yogurt
dinner - spag bol, cherry pie with cherry ice cream (darn supermarkets tempting me with reduced pie & ice cream!!)

Went to bums & tums, had to take it easy as my shoulder was hurting!
Funny at the gym it didnt bother me!

The dreaded teacher is being a major pain this week!! I'm fed up of being treated like her personnel slave!
I did a narrative project over 5 weeks with 2 kids from her class & 2 from the other yr 3 class, i did the final assessment today & they have made MAJOR improvements! I was over the moon, went to show her the results & she wouldnt even look up at them said she was too busy - this was after the kids had gone home, so i just said 'oh i'll leave it then'' & walked out, she knew i was mad! & i was VERY mad.

Yesterday we had a new starter in the other yr 3 class, a boy with special needs, the teacher wasnt in so the childs mum came to me as i was the only person in the classroom. I was in the middle of welcoming the boy & the stupid teacher SHE, came in stuck her head between us & said 'can you get a child to show him where his things go' just because she wanted some photocoping done that should have been done by the other TA the day before. & i was supposed to be supporting Yr 6 SAT's (big exam) & SHE made me late argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
8 more weeks to go & then we have 6 weeks holls & then i work in yr 4 with NICE people & not her anymore!!

Can you tell she is stressing me out??
Those things i've mentioned are only a few of many many more!
Everyone in school has asked me if i'm ok after the accident - not her though.

I need a cuppa

Hope everyones having a better week than me!!

 

[bekkiz]

I had lame experiance like that when I was student teaching, so annoying! Luckily, it's almost summer

Every time you talk about the bums and tums class, I burst out laughing It's brilliant.

Have a great Wednesday!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, I am sorry you have to work with this hag, and I am so glad you are okay after the accident! Real bummer about the car, glad the dimwit had insurance. Take no grief from this woman! And keep up the working out and the mai tai's they are both good stress reducers!

 

[toystoryduo]

Tracey,

This teacher sounds like a real piece of work. How long do you have until summer break? Do you have to work with her next year? I like Amy's remedy for relieving stress.... Bums and Tums and Mai-Tais.... Oh my!

Hope your week gets better for you, WISH sis!

 

[tbstein]

Tracey, sending the anti-stress fairy to you. She will be there quick, even with the ocean to cross! Boy, someone always has to be the one that makes us appreciate everyone else. I just hope I only interact with them once a week! Sounds like you enjoy your job and work hard at making a difference. That is wonderful DH is a professor, and to make a difference is always important to him. This other teacher sounds like she is just in it for the attention she can demand.

Sending that fairy out right now! She will enjoy the pub with you tomorrow!

Take care and relax and enjoy the weekend!

Wendy

 

[toystoryduo]

How was your weekend, Tracey? Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, hope all is well and the car is fixed or getting fixed at least! Hope you are having a great week and that your weekend was a nice one. Hang in there with the witch at work!

 

[goldcupmom]

Wow, Tracey, I'm glad you're ok! Accidents are scary!! I've only had one & don't want a repeat. Fortunately it wasn't my fault, either, but it sure fouls up life having your car out of commission.

So, my DS17 showed me something fun today. go to www.google.com and then go to Google Maps. Get directions for Albuquerque, NM to London, England(or wherever you live). It's pretty funny! When you get to step 30 of the directions, you'll see why I'm swimming so much!!

Hope you have a good rest of the week and a wonderful, SAFE, weekend!

 

[traceycooper]

Sorry i've not been around much.
DMIL collapsed sunday & has had a stroke, she is very poorly
Will update as soon as i have half a minute to spare!!!
Thanks for keeping me on page 1!!!

 

[goldcupmom]

OMG, Tracey! Prayers & HUGS for your MIL & all of you! Hopefully she will be on the mend soon. Remember, GOD is in control! Take good care of Tracey & Garry!

 

[toystoryduo]

Tracey,

We will keep Gary's mom, Gary, you, and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know how she is doing when you can, WISH sis.

 

[keenercam]

Oh, Tracey -- I am so sorry to hear your sad news. I will keep your MIL and your whole family in my prayers.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Oh Tracey, I have been so worried about you and wondered if something was wrong. Please know your whole family is in my prayers. Keep us posted and hang in there.
