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

[traceycooper]

Well i'm back!
just a quicky as i havnt had a minute since we got home!!!
weighed in yesterday & i have gained 6lb's thats actually better than i thought!!!
Hopefully some of that will come off pretty quickly, i'm not gonna do strict low carb at first will see how i do, then will do it strict if its not moving!
We have 3 weeks before the party, thats when i wear my dress again.
will post pics & trip report asap when i have a minute to breathe!!!
looking forward to catching up on everyones journals, hope you are all doing well

Gary said at the end of our trip that he felt like he hadnt been on holiday.....he felt like he'd been home,
that says it all really, we are definately going to look into moving out over there, so if anyone has any tips or info on finding work in schools (not sure if my qualifications are any good in the US) let me know

Welcome home and congratulations!!! I'm thrilled to hear you had a great trip - we missed you! I can hardly wait to see some pics and read your report. I'm quite sure the extra pounds will come off now that you're back to regular eating. No need to worry about it in the least!

How exciting it must be to consider moving there! That's my dream too, but dh wouldn't consider it. Nice to know that you and Gary are both on board. Hope you're getting some much needed rest after all your travels. Have a great week!!!!!

Welcome home and congrats!!!!!! Don't worry about those few extra lbs. That is not bad considering the length of your trip! And once you get back into exercising and eating right they will come off quickly.

just a quicky as i'm hoping to visit some journals
breakfast - croissant
lunch - mexican chk salad, strawberries
dinner - chilli beef with stir fry veg & noodles (yummy!) fruit corner yogurt

Went back to the gym last night (after 4 weeks!)
boy was it hard work managed 30 gentle mins on treadmill
& couldnt do any more than 15 mins on x trainer!!
So i went on sunbed to try & keep my tan topped up till after the wedding party!!
I must still be jet lagged as i cant get to sleep till about 12 - 1 am which would be
7 - 8 pm wdw time!
I have been trying lots of ways of pricing up a return trip for july/august 2008 & everytime its coming up sooo expensive
Its coming up at about £3500 - £4000 ($7000 - $8000)!!!!!
xmas 2007 would be cheaper flying the day after xmas day, but could only fit 10 days then, trying to work on Gary
I wish you could get overtime working in school!!!!!

Welcome Back and Congratulations!!! I am so glad you had a wonderful trip and your wedding was everything you hoped it would be.

As I was finishing my second glass of wine on the 6th I raised a toast to you and Gary. I had intended on posting a congrats that day, but then DD3 got her head "ouwie". Again, congrats!

 

[CJK]

Yeah!! I'm off to read your report!

Hi Tracey! Its good to have you back and I am so happy everything went so well. It sounds like you had a beautiful trip and wedding, congrats! And good job getting to the gym. Starting out slow is the smartest thing to do. I am sure you are very messed up on your sleep schedule. Getting back into a routine of eating right and exercising will help with that too and you are doing just that. I need to head over to the UK Forum and read your report. Again, welcome home. And WDW trips are so addictive, you have to begin planning right away! I hope it works out for you to have a nice, long trip without breaking the bank. How was All Star Movies by the way? Guess I need to read the report!

Welcome Back Tracey!

I'm glad to hear that you had a wonderful time! I'm looking forward to reading your trip report!

Have a great Thursday!

Great job getting to the gym! Isn't the jetlag the worst? I am always worse off going from the US to Europe than coming back (since I force myself to stay awake the WHOLE way home, so I am extremely tired that night and can sleep it off). I hope your body gets back into your regular rythym soon. I will have to check out your trip report!

Welcome back, I'm off to read your report!!

 

[traceycooper]

Thanks everyone
Well my first week back at work is over, i feel like i've never been away!!!
I spent hours pouring over the holiday brochures last night, & no matter how many times i;ve tried i just cant get summer holls any cheaper
Only way i can is to go on the 20th August as prices drop by nearly £1000 ($2000) then!!! Trouble is we could only get for 10 days as school starts back on Sept 1st
Sooo i suggested to Gary we do that AND 10 days at xmas, afraid it didnt go down too well though
Oh well i will keep trying!
breakfast - croissant with butter
lunch - cheese & onion sandwich, chco chip bar, walnuts, hot chocolate drink
dinner - baked potato with chk & bacon, cherry ice cream
I'm trying to be good but since we got back i've been sooo hungry all the time & its sooo cold too!
Gary is on call this week for gritting the roads if it gets icy, & hes got to go out at 7pm tonight, i was hoping we could go out & watch an AC/DC tribute band that are playing local, but now i'm home alone (DD gone to her dads), so i sent him to get me some pringles & a tub of cheese & chive dip sorry.....
We have a friends 40th tomorrow afternoon & are hoping to go out tomorrow evening, but will have to wait & see what the weather is going to do now!!

Just added day 3 to my trip report, it has my favourite magical moment in
Thanks to my wish buddies for stopping by & reading the report so far

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, hang in there, its very tough to get back on track after such a long trip. It will happen, just make a few easy steps back into it at a time. YOu can get back on track!

Tracey,

You and Leanne look beautiful! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.

I am enjoying your trip report! Day 3 was absolutely magical!

Have a great weekend!

 

[lovinaz]

You both look lovely! Love the pix, thanks for sharing your special day with us!

It takes some time to get back into a routine after vacation. And I say go for the 10 days in the summer, it's better than 0 days, right?

 

[CACruisin']

You and your daughter look so beautiful and happy! Thanks for sharing. Getting back into a routine after such a long vacation is tough, but you are already starting - that's great!

Here's another vote for 10 days in the summer!

You and your daughter look absolutely beautiful! You both look so happy and content. It's such a magical place isn't it?

I hear you on getting back to regular eating after vacation. I eased into it slowly, so don't worry too much.

I'm off to read day 3 of your report! Have a great weekend!
