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

[goldcupmom]

Gym is AWESOME, Tracey. I HATE rowers, too! My shoulders & lower back can't take them!

Glad the Easter project is behind you.

I've never watched Idol until this season & I'm SO disappointed that a website is promoting 'vote for the worst' & it's working. I think many of the truly talented are wrongly getting voted off.

Sounds like you've had a good weekend. Have a GREAT week this week!

Hi Tracey,

Good job on the gym....That is great

I have never watched American Idol....I hear about it all day at work, just never watched it. I did hear there is a girl that is starvig herself until someone, Sanjia (sorry on the spelling) I believe is either voted off or leaves. She has been at it for a few weeks now, just water...no food! Crazy!

Hope you are having a great day

 

[toystoryduo]

You are doing a great job Tracey! Keep up the good work!

Hope you have a great week!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Count me in as another "I hate rowers"! Don't worry about a few food splurges, you did well overall and your exercise is incredible! You are doing really well, just keep it up! And that weight will start to come off again, it sounds like you just needed to tweak the routine and also let the fat burnoff catch up with the muscle you are building. Don't get discouraged!

Hi Tracey,

Just wanted to stop in and say hi

Hope you are having a great day

 

[goldcupmom]

Hope things are going well, Tracey! Hang in there! Friday's coming!

Hey Tracey. Sounds like you're doing GREAT on the workout front! Congrats on having time off!! It's times like these that make me wish I went into the teaching field.

Keep up the great work!

Hi wish buddies
Been a funny old week!
I was soo looking forward to having a lie in.
Neighbour comes over & asks if i can look after her son from 8am - 5.30pm on Tuesday whilst shes at work! I - mug that i am - says ok!
Got up at 7.30am she comes over saying shes ill, not going to work but still brings her DS over!!! Took him & my DD to gym for a swim, did 20 lengths!
Cos people know i get school hols off they want me to be a baby sitter! I NEED A BREAK TOO!
No more sitting!

Dsil call to ask if i can have her DD on Wednesday!! We compromise & shes coming at 12.30pm - 3pm, then her DH calls to ask if i can have her later than 3pm - i say no - going to gym!!!
Today (wednesday) DH wakes me up when he gets up for work at 6.30am so i give up trying to get to sleep & get up at 8am!!!

Food

Monday
b/fast - croissant
lunch - cheese & ham roll, bag of crisps (chips), small cake.
dinner - cheese, mushroom, spinach & ham omlette

Went to gym - just did cardio - 20 mins jog, 10 mins stepper, 10 mins x/trainer - NO ROWER!!

Tuesday
b/fast - 1 slice of toast with low sugar apricot jam
lunch - 2 crispbreads with cheese & onion filler, yogurt
dinner - cajun chk fatiga's (SP??)
20 lengths in pool at gym

THEN DH decides to treat me to a freash cream apple turnover, & me being the wimp with no will power ate it!!! Also had to cans of cider

Havnt mentioned WI for a while cos it never changes!! At least its not going up though! I bought some new scales that measure body fat, water & muscle, water & muscle ok but fat high, according to the scales i'm obease I weigh about 76 kg or about 163 lb's.
Dont like these scales

thanks everyone for checking in

Tracey~

You need the time off too, sweetie. I think it's a good idea to say no to the babysitting. You need your Tracey time! (I know cuz I'm a Tracy too! )

I hope you have a great rest of the week WISH sis!

 

[eeyore25]

HI Tracey,

Your food looks great!!!! You do need some time to yourself...no more babysitting LOL!!!

Keep up the good work...that scale will move in the right direction!!!

Have agreat day

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, good for you for sticking to your guns with not having someone else's child at your house too long and preventing you from going to the gym! You definitely need a break too. Next time they are on vacation give them a to do list of things you need done and see how they like it! Don't worry about the scale, that doesn't sound very obese to me (but hey, I weigh 214 lbs so what the heck do I know). But the point is that you are a work in progress as we all are. What the scale says now is not a total picture of you and your life and progress. Just keep working at it and that number will go down!

 

[traceycooper]

Gonna get the barbie out sunday

Wednesday

b/fast - cereal
lunch - 4 crispbreads with cheese & onion filler, yogurt

[toystoryduo]

That's great that you were able to get the WDW scrapbook done, Tracey. Sounds like your mum loved it!

Can you send some of that sunshine our way? We had 80 degrees and sunny 2 days ago and today it's windy, cold, adn we have about 4 inches of snow on the ground. BRRR!

Hope you have a great day today!

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Tracey,

Glad to hear that you were able to get the WDW scrap book done....

That is awesome that you are going to have good weather through the weekend. We started out that way, but the closer we get to the weekend, the ickier it is getting. They are now calling for snow showers Friday night into Saturday. I am so done with the snow!!!!

Hope you have a great day Enjoy that nice weather!!!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Tracey. I'm sorry the scale isn't moving, but you are seriously working your BUTT off!! You make me want to join a gym!!

Take care!

Oh, and I wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your journal. Not only do you inspire me and have a lot going on...but I love your English style of writing!

 

[toystoryduo]

Happy Easter, Tracey! I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend!

Hope everyone has a lovely Easter weekend

Kim - what sounds English - just curious!!!
Tracy & Jamie - sorry the weathers not good for you!! I'll try & send you some sun

 

[CACruisin']

Tracey it sounds you are finally getting some time to yourself . You haven't gotten to sleep in, but you have scrapped, worked out, and had some wonderful time in the sun! Could you send some of that sun back to Southern CA? We are gloomy & gray again .

Have a wonderful Easter weekend and enjoy your second week off next week. Maybe a couple of those days you can sleep in?

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, it sounds like you have had a nice week off and you deserve it! That is always such a good feeling to get a scrapbook done, I am so glad your mum loved it. How nice for you and her to have had that trip and now the book to enjoy together. Hey, remember when you were jealous of our warm weather? It left sad to say and has been replaced by snow, freezing rain and 30 degree temps for a high! I am envious of you sitting outside with a can of cider! Enjoy it and think of me! Happy Easter, keep up the good work, you are doing fabulous!
