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

Hi Tracey~

I'm sorry to hear about what your SIL did. :( We have issues with our in laws at times too. Maybe you can take your frustrations with your SIL out at the gym. ;)

I agree with you too about how important family time is and how important those special memories are. I've been thinking about that a lot lately as we get ready to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday soon and with how quickly my girls are growing up. I'm glad to hear that you had a special weekend with your family.:grouphug:

I hope you are feeling better and that you have a great week ahead.:hug:
 
Hi Tracey!!! I completely understand about the SIL! I live next to my Inlaws!!!

Congrats on your wdw plans!!! How fun!!!

Good look on the house hunting/selling!!!

Stacie
 
Thanks guys :hug:
Monday
b/fast - croissant
lunch - cheese & ham roll, yogurt, small muffin, strawberries
dinner - having bacon, tomato & mushroom omlette with herby potatos :)

thats about all for today!!!
 
Well the omlette ended up not happening last night as the bacon was out of date!!!
Had baked potato, quiche & sweetcorn cob instead....followed by cherry crumble with custard!! (at least the custard was reduced sugar!!

Tuesday
woke up with rerally sore throat again!
Been out in the woods all day on a school trip...still deciding if being outside in the fresh air all day will have helped or hindered my throat!!!
Luckily the weather was dry & pretty warm for time of year.

b/fast - cereal
lunch - cheese & ham roll, yogurt, strawberries, cake bar
dinner - red pepper stuffed with quorn mince, mushroom & tomatoes topped with cheese & minted lamb kebabs on the side, having a cup of tea & lemon cake in a min!
Off to get my jarmies on!
 

Tracey -- Your food always sounds so delicious, even the stuff I've never heard of before! ;) :goodvibes
 
Hi Tracey,

How's your throat today? I hope it is better. I hate having a sore throat.

I have to agree with Cam. Your meals do sound wonderful.

Have a good one,
Beth
 
:hug: Tracey,

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon.:hug:

Your meals do sound yummy! I could go for some cherry crumble right now.:goodvibes

Hope you have a great day!:hug:

P.S. Have you ever been to Disneyland Paris? When my kids found out that it is near you in England, they asked me to ask you if you have ever been there before and if you like it better than WDW.
 
Oh boy, do I hear you on that sil situation. That kind of thing has happened to me plenty of times with friends and family. Oh well, let them move, your day will come when the time is right. In the meantime, make sure you are busy on moving day and can't help them hault their stuff to the new place!

KFC that is bland, what a bummer. Hate it when that happens, a splurge should at least taste worth the calories! Hope your throat is feeling better.

And I am excited about the Universal thing and Royal Pacific, but if we can't get the money saved, I will have to cancel! I knew that was where you all were staying, bummer that we won't be there at the same time. That would have been very fun, but hard on our livers!:lmao:

:rotfl:
like the idea of being out the way on move in day ;)

:lmao: Amy i'm sure our livers can take it ;)

Tracy - No we havnt been to DW Paris....mainly because its soooo expensive - to get their & for food!!! We can come to warm sunny Florida for not much more & they charge $10 for a cup of coffee :eek: (so i'm told)
AND they only have 2 parks - MK & MGM's!!

Beth & Cam thanks for the well wishes with my throat - i'm glad to report the day out in the woods seemed to help - feeling much better!

Wednesday
b/fast - croissant
snack - cake bar, cuppa soup
lunch - chk salad, strawberries, yogurt
dinner - chk fatigha's, small cheesecake

Went to gym :cool1:
BUT it killed me!! :sad2:
But at least i went & burned 560 cals :thumbsup2

Thursday
b/fast - cereal
snack - banana, cuppa soup
lunch - cheese & ham roll, yogurt, cake bar, strawberries
dinner - spagetti bolognase with jalepeno bread

I'm eating sooo much at the moment, must be the weather! But i'm starting to feel it around my waist!

My washing machines broke :( DH is at MIL right now doing the washing for me) its only 2 years old!!! & we didnt get the extended warenty, friend had a look & for what it will cost to fix looks like we will have to get a new one :(

DD & i had a massive fall out this morning :sad2:
I do the morning school run, i take her & her friend & her friends dad picks them up, her friend keeps being late in the mornings so i mention it to her mum - who had no idea (her DD hadnt told her the time i needed her ready!)
So finally her friend arrives on time today & DD is late - we finally get to the car & shes forgot something - i get mega stressed & blow a fuse!!!
Got to work - stressed with a headache & feeling guilty for going way overboard at DD, i did text her & apologise & we're ok now, but it kinda ruined my day!!

Had a 3rd valuation on the house & it was much better than the other 2!!! Infact i think its too high!!! we are still debating the idea, but i'm not sure if its what i want to do!!! I think i'm just scared of making the move, what if i move & then miss this home??? what if we find the payments hard???
But then on the other side - what if a regret not making the move???
Arghhhhh
Off to price up washing machines!!!
 
Hi Tracey,

I am sorry to hear about your washing machine. That is horrible that it only lasted 2 years. UGH!

You could always put the house on the market, and then change your mind if the right price doesn't come through. Just a thought.

I am with you about being late. I am always early. It stresses me out to be running late. I hope your day improves.

Take care,
Beth
 
Hi Tracey! Sorry to hear you've been stressed lately! I know the washing machine things is irritating! Only 2 years! ugh!

Good Luck on the house situation. I know it's a tough decision to make!

Hope you have a good one!
Stacie
 
Sorry to hear about your washing machine, Tracey. :( Remember when appliances were built to last more than 2 years?:sad2: My parents have had the same refrigerator for 32 years.:eek:

Sending lots of :wizard: :wizard: regrading your house and the potential move. You and Gary will know what to do when the time comes.:hug:

I'm sorry to hear about the situation with your DD.:hug: I'm with you...I like being places early, my DH is usually late. Makes for a fun marriage sometimes. ;)

Hope you have a great weekend!:hug:
 
Man Tracey, our lives do mirror! My washing machine broke last week, same thing, would cost more to fix so I had to get a new one. AND, I had a tiff with DD yesterday about a book she lost (that magically turned up later), I really felt justified giving her tongue lashing, but it made me feel sad. Made up, but being a mom is just plain hard! Don't know what to tell you about the house. Try making extra payments to your current mortgage that would equal the new one for a few months and see how that feels on your budget. Moving is great but moving remorse is the worst! It will all work out the way its meant to, just hang in there through the stress.

I hope you guys have a great weekend, don't drink without me!;) (going to a party tomorrow night, shall I raise one in your honor?)
 
Hi Tracey,

I just wanted to wish you a great weekend. Are you house hunting?

Take care,
Beth

Do you really need to ask Amy?? :lmao:

Beth, Tracy & Stacie - thanks for the kind words :grouphug: Dont even want to think about houses right now - fed up of thinking - my brain hurts!!!

Actually i've changed my mind,i do want to talk about it!...... we went to look at a house on Friday - it was ok but it didnt get me excited & it would need quite a bit of work...which i really dont want - we spent years making our house a home & i dont want to start again!!! It made me like the new build home (which i've viewed about 10 times!!) even more....nice & shiny & new!!!
DH is not as enthusiastic as me & is being stuborn, i say if we put the house up & it sells & we havnt found anything else we like as much can we have the new build? him - 'no'!!!
so i'm now on a mission to get him to my way of thinking - he has to envision the new build finished with us in it putting our stamp on it.......
Can you tell i'm a girl who likes to get her own way ;) ???

Friday
i havnt weighed in for a few weeks as i knew i'd been over eating. Today i decided it had to be done - 5lb gain :sad1:
Now Friday is fish & chip shop night, so i decided to skip the deep fried battered fish & just have a few fries - i tell DH this - he returns with the fries AND the fish - ''oh sorry i forgot'' a sensible me would have binned the fish but no i have it anyway, along with the extra portion of fries i'd ordered & a bread roll (as i thought i wasnt having fish):sad2:
I then followed it up with a large choc chip muffin & 1/2 bottle of rose wine!!!:sad1:

b/fast - cereal
snack - hot choc drink, small cake bar
lunch - cheese & onion filler sandwich, yogurt, small choc bar
dinner - fish, large fries, bread roll (with butter!) large chocc chip muffin, 1/2 bottle of rose wine!

Saturday
woke up feeling large!!
put some quite fitted combats on to see if i could still fit in them - YES :banana:
Dh says it must be muscle.... until i breath out & show him the large tyre around my middle!!!
Needless to say i WILL go to the gym tomorrow!!
I'm not gonna stress too much as i do gain over the winter (maybe i used to hibernate in another life!!) but i dont want this to get out of control!!!

b/fast - non
lunch - 5 crispbreads, yogurt, small cake bar
dinner - think i'm having a 'healthy' pizza (base is wholemeal tortillas baked in oven)

sorry i've waffled on ;)
 
OMG i've just noticed i'm in single digits!!!
Yes i know its months but still....SINGLE DIGITS!!!!
time for a new avatar & any excuse for a boogie ;)
:cool1: :banana: :woohoo: :dance3: :cheer2:

Ok i didnt have the healthy pizza - the tortillas had gone off!!!
Heres the story:
Saturday
Dh normally catches the train home when he goes to watch his soccer team.
The train broke down half way home so i had to drive out & pick him up.
So we decide to try a nice little country pub for dinner - the menu was too fussy so we just had a drink & came home.
By this time it was gone 7pm & i couldnt be bothered to cook, so we end up getting a takeawy curry :sad2:

Sunday
Went to gym :banana:
AND i enjoyed it - the gym has felt a bit of a chore lately - i think because i have been run down - but today i kicked butt ;) 770 cals :cool1:

b/fast - non
lunch - wholemeal pasta with tuna, tomatoes & cheese
dinner - cheese & ham roll, yogurt, choc chip muffin

Monday
b/fast - cereal
snack - mushroom cup a soup, banana
lunch - cheese & ham roll, yogurt, small choc bar
dinner - having sausage casserole with baked potato if all goes well!!!

Hopefully going to view some more properties tonight!
Viewed one yesterday & it was awefull :eek:

Tracy - thanks for dancing with me :hug:
looks like no one else was in a dancing mood!!!
 
9 Months to WDW and Universal, yeah I"ll dance with ya!:banana: :cool1:

That nine months will fly by and you'll be in sunny Florida before you know it!

New houses are the best, do what it takes to talk him into it! Not having to use somebody else's toilet and cover up their bad decorating is quite nice. I hope it all works out, keeping my fingers crossed.

Good job getting back to the gym, 770 calories is kicking butt for sure! The pants fit, they'll be loose in no time if you keep those workouts up.

I raised my glass to you on Saturday night, did you get my vibe?

This is going to be a great week, you can do it!
