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

[goldcupmom]

Glad you didn't get injured in your fall, Tracey! I'm just catching up a bit.

I LOVED the pics from the wedding! Your DD is Beautiful in that dress! You ARE going to post pics from your wedding, aren't you??

I'm afraid I won't be getting to see you at HHN. DD and I are going to FL alone at the beginning of the month so DH can go to Iowa to visit his siblings. I'm a bit bummed!

Have a great weekend!

Hi Tracey! Sounds like things are going well and that you're really busy! At least you're doing some fun things too.

Interesting what you said about posture! I have GOT to work on that. I slump in my chair, when standing, far too much!! Hope the concert goes well for dd this weekend. Keep up the great work!

Hi Tracey:

What a Tuesday! Don't you just love it when kids spring this stuff on you at the last minute? My daughter did the same thing the other day telling me that day was "Rockies Day" (our major league baseball team). Had to give her the sad news I had no time to go out and get her a tee shirt for a team she cares nothing about that she will never wear again. Of course, she was the only kid in a school of 800 students not wearing a shirt because her mom wouldn't buy her one! Ahh, kids. Also, sorry about your fall but I was laughing at your funny account of the whole thing! Sounds like your food is good and congrats on getting to the gym. That feels good I am sure. Have a great Friday and weekend!

Hey Tracey!

Glad you're ok, the fall sounded nasty, but it was hearing you tell it!

Good job getting to the gym, and your food looks good.

Oh my, those kids, my oldest DD was the worst at telling me she needed things as we're walking out the door. Finally I got to the point where if they don't give me some advance warning, well, too bad, they go to school without it! Kiddies have to start learning some planning and responsibility!!

Have a good weekend, and your trip will be here soon!

Hoping to get Gary to dress up as a vampire

I'm a little worried - i got over the fall really quickly & havnt even bruised...but last night i found a painful lump on my leg & it hasnt gone.. no bruise just a lump under the skin, i'm worried cos when doc put me back on contraceptive pill, because of my age & my grandmother died of deep vain thrombosis (the one i never knew, & she was very overweight too) & my other grandmother had thrombosis but did not die of that but she had very bad circulation problems all her life, doc said any problems to go straight back...so now i'm worried i have thrombosis!!!!
If it hasnt got any better tomorrow i will have to go back again!!!
I have only been taking the pill for 3 days though!
Was gonna research on internet but thought that might freak me out!
What do you think??
Goldcupmum - sorry we wont get to meet, but i hope you have a great trip & will deffinatly post wedding pics!!
Hope everone is having a great weekend
hope this posts this time!!!

Congrats on your weightloss! You just gotta love that feeling!

I hope your neighbour is okay. What a strange situation that is! I hope, for her sake, her husband is getting his act together.

Hope your leg feels better soon. It could easily just be a result of the fall (and nothing more serious). I ALWAYS have a bruise on my legs for one reason or another. At any rate, keep your eye on it and go to the doctor if it doesn't get better. Yes - don't research the internet!! I did that a couple weeks ago and was convinced that I was dying (and it turned out to probably be nothing). Just go see your doctor if you get really worried.

Hope you have a great week ahead! Let us know if Gary will wear a costume at MNSSHP. My dh won't!!!

So sorry about the fall - Ouch!! But you did tell the story really well! I would give the Dr a call about the lump. I'm sure it is nothing, but it doesn't hurt to have it looked at.

Congrats on the 2lb loss!!!

Great job bringing a healthy lunch, and your BBQ's sound yummy.

Have a great week.

 

[Amy&Dan]

I would call the doctor so that when they tell you its nothing to worry about you can breathe a sigh of relief! And don't research on the internet, it will just freak you out. Sounds like you had a fun weekend and I didn't think your food was bad at all given the amount of special events you attended. And most of all, big congratulations on that weight loss! 2 Pounds is really a lot of weight to lose. Your big day is really getting close, when do you leave? Tell Gary to dress up, everyone else does!

Hi Tracey~

I'm sorry to hear about your leg. I think you should definitely go to the doctor or call him/her and let them know what is going on and what you are concerned about. I'm sending prayers your way....

Congratulations on the weight loss!

Have a great Monday! Take good care of you!

 

[traceycooper]

Didnt sleep well last night, i was convinced doc would send me to hospital to investigate & i kept thinking if they do that i wont be able to go to Florida!!!
On top of that everytime i rolled onto my right side the pain in my leg woke me up!
So i went to see the doc first thing this morning, & its all good
He said it was either deep muscle damage or a torn ligament but DEFINATLY NOT thrombosis....big sigh of relief!

Food today:
b/fast - toast, jam & earl grey
lunch - cheese roll (not low carb bread!!), cheese pieces, strawberries & walnuts
dinner - 2 large mushrooms stuffed with sundried tomato pesto & cheese
Went to the gym, dont know if i should have with my leg, but felt so guilty (and a little bloated) about having the 2 double cheese burgers last night! It doesnt feel too bad at the moment!
Thanks everyone for caring

 

[lovinaz]

I'm glad to hear all is well with your leg. I'm sure it will be all healed and ready to go for your upcoming trip! Internet diagnosis is definitely more stressful than anything else - I'm sure all the Drs hate it!!

You are doing great, don't push yourself with your workouts if your leg is still bothering you. Give it time to heal properly!

 

[CACruisin']

Glad you went to the Dr and it is all good. But, do take care of it. You want to be all healed and healthy for Florida!!! And if that means you need to stay away from the gym for awhile, so be it.

Have a great week!

 

[CJK]

Wonderful news!! Now you can relax a bit and get busy with the healing process. You want to be in tiptop shape for Florida!

 

[toystoryduo]

Oh Tracey!

That is such a relief about your leg! I am glad that you went to the doctors and that he/ she said everything was okay! Woohoo!

I hope you have a great Tuesday!

 

[Amy&Dan]

That is great news about the leg! Aren't you glad you went in? Now you can get back to just being excited for your trip/wedding! I agree, don't push the workouts. How's your neighbor doing? That guy needs to be dropped kicked. Why put someone through all of that? Either leave and stay gone or stay home and behave! I hope you have a good day tomorrow and thanks for always be supportive in my journal. I love having friends who support me from all over the planet!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi wish buddies
Leg feeling much better now!
Food has been good, but i have really been craving chocolate!!! They had a big plate of choclate biscuits at my card making class last night & i managed to resist them!
I told Gary last night that after we are married i'm gonna pig out!!!

Tuesday
b/fast - toast,apricot jam & earl grey
lunch - mexican chk salad, strawberries, water
dinner - Roast pork with mushroom & bacon stuffing, roasted peppers, tomatos & mushrooms with herbs & cheese & corn on cob. water

wednesday
b/fast - toast,apricot jam & earl grey
lunch - low carb cheese & onion sanwich, walnuts, strawberries & earl grey
dinner - rogan josh chk curry with wholewheat rice

Was going to go to the gym again tonight but felt so hungry when i got home i decided not to go, will try for Friday.
I think 3 times a week might be too much, as work is really hectic at the moment so going to go mondays & fridays, maybe the odd wednesday when i feel energetic

I'm getting really excited now for florida, i bought a new suitcase last week & i'm itching to pack it
There is soooooo much to look forward to, we have booked: MNSSHP, HHN, DC, dine with shamu, serengeti safari at BG as well as doing all the wdw parks including water parks & universal & IOA & seaworld & BG
Then theres the ADR's i have booked: breakfastasaraus at AK, dinner at boma, breakfast at CP, dinner at wilderness lodge (WCC), high tea at GF, calofornia grill,
sci-fi diner, 50's prime time, hollywood & vine fantasmic dinner package, san angel inn (for dads b/day)...all that to fit in the first 2 weeks!!
Then our wedding!! Do you think we may fall asleep on our wedding night? lol

 

[lovinaz]

I think you will be in a food coma after eating at all those places!

I'm glad your leg is better. Sometimes it's tough to get to the gym as often as you want. Just go whenever you can! And if you have some workout videos, maybe you could do those at home when you can't seem to drag yourself to the gym...

You are going to look great for your wedding, keep it up!

 

[Amy&Dan]

You are eating at some of my favorite places in WDW (Sci Fi and San Angel)! I agree you may be in a food coma but it will be a blissful state to be in! I also agree with the suggestion of workout videos at home. In fact I need to take that advice too! Good job resisting the chocolate biscuits. I find that one chocolate goodie tends to lead to another so better to resist outright! You are going to be one sexy, skinny bride, keep up the good work!

 

[traceycooper]

Thanks Amy & lovinaz
food today:
b/fast - toast & jam & earl grey
lunch - mexican chk salad, earl grey
dinner - can of cider! baked potato, with cheese, chk & bacon
Been really hot today! Thinks its supposed to be the hottest september day ever!!
No water with meals today
but i did have some this afternoon & when i got home before dinner!

I do stretching exercises every morning, but i also bought a twist & step machine not too long ago that is starting to gather dust!! It gives a pretty good work out too, so i will try to motivate myself to go on that!!!
WOOHOOO noticed there are no more months on my countdown
Work has organised a hen night for me (they couldnt get to the cruise one!)
Not telling me anything except i have to dress up as a belly dancer!!! & that they are dressing up as something else but i dont know what!...gulp
Its on the 6th Oct!
Gonna give the wedding gown shop a call tomorrow as i've not been called yet for my 2nd fitting & there were quite a lot of alterations to do, just slightly starting to panic!!
Going to order Gary's wedding ring on saturday too
UK AIRLINES HAVE ANOUNCED TODAY THEY ARE ALLOWING BIGGER HAND LUGGAGE ALLOWANCE FROM TOMORROW....YIPEEE
I might get my dress onboard, instead of the hold yet

 

[lovinaz]

That's great news, I hope you are able to carry your dress on with you!

You will definitely have to let us know what the belly dancer costume was all about. You guys really know how to party!
