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

[traceycooper]

I have spent soooo much money this weekend
What with the 'little' things adding up for the house & christmas shopping too i feel like money is like water at the moment - pouring away!!!!
Christmas shopping is at last done & i think we have all we need for the move next week....now to get straight for those mortgage payments
Bought: stockingfillers for DD for xmas - Golden Compass triology book, Stardust book, Sims Castaway ps2 game, + 2 boxes of chcos for work collegues, a new computer desk, & a cat bed....& a partridge in a pair tree

Met up with my long lost friend yesterday it was great to catch up, we went shopping the crowds were crazy - its well & truly December!!!

Went out last night for a friends 40th - it was a great night, saw lots of friends we hadnt seen in a while, we all promised to keep in touch more!

Food
b/fast - non
lunch - 5 crispbreads, 1 small glass of wine
dinner - baked potato with cheese & scampi
At the 40th party - 2 baked potato halves, 4 chicken wings, 4 onion rings, 1 piece of birthday cake, 2 pints of cider

Sunday
MORE shopping = more spending
bought a new cd/radio alarm clock, washing line, coat hooks, loft boarding & food!
b/fast - non
lunch - chk & mushroom risotto
dinner - cheese & ham roll, cinnamon swirl danish

Didnt make the gym
Theres just too much to be done, i have a busy week ahead so i know i wont make the gym in the week & if we move Friday - i wont make it next weekend either, so i couldnt really see the point of getting back into the gym today if i'm not gonna get back for a while - even if i had had the time!!!

Hey Tracey: Stress is stress, believe me I know I don't have the market in that area! Moving is way stressful, so just take deep breaths, the pay off is you will be in your beautiful new home this week!

I think you did very well at that party, you didn't go hog wild on the food, and heck two pints of cider is better than 4! You had fun and got caught up with a friend you havent' seen in awhile.

I hear you on money pouring out of the old wallet, tis the season I guess! This is the week you have been waiting for, take pictures of the house and show us your new digs! Hang in there and like I said, deep breath in, deep breath out....

 

[MIdanceMom]

Tracey,

Repeat after me. This will be all over soon, and I will be in my lovely new home.

Good luck with the move, and remember all that moving is exercise.

We want pics.

Take care,
Beth

Hey Miss Tracey, hope today was a good one. Hey, this is the week you move to your new home! And I agree with Beth, just repeat what she said and take some deep breaths (and maybe a few sips of wine ). That gym isn't going anyplace, it will still be there when life settles down. And I also agree with Beth in that you are getting exercise with all the activity and packing associated with moving. So don't feel guilty one bit!

Hi Tracey,

That's great that you're in the house! Did the solicitors get everything straightened out with the paperwork? Are your appliances working?

Hope everything is going well for you!

 

[keenercam]

Tracey -- I am so glad you are in your new home in time for the holidays! How much fun it must be to decorate a whole new space, if you've gotten the decorations unpacked, that is! THank God your DD is old enough to help and you don't have to worry about babysitting a little one in a new space while trying to get situated. I hope the appliance and house number issues have been ironed out.
Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday and a FABULOUS holiday season!!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Tracey! Hope you're enjoying the holidays in your new home. Take good care of you, WISH sis!
