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

[lovinaz]

Man, now you have me craving Indian food! And I won't be able to get my fix until I am in the UK the week of 20 April...

Ha ha, you are like me - there is no way I am letting clothes influence my weigh in!!

You are doing great with your workouts, have you noticed a big difference, more toned, etc?

hmmm put a skirt on the other day that i hadnt worn since last summer & it was REALLY loose - so much that i could have taken it off without unzipping!!!

WI - no change on the scale - still 11 stone 10 lb's (164 lb)

food has continued to be pretty good & exercise great, getting lots of sleep now i'm off work - lots of lie ins
gonna set the alarm tomorrow though as i want to get to the gym early as work friends are coming over in the afternoon so i want to have time to clean the house. really hoping it stays dry so we can sit in the garden - weather forcast is touch & go!

b/fast - cereal
lunch - 5 crispbreads, yogurt, chips
dinner - LF curry sauce, turkey & wholemeal rice

exercise - spinning, tm, few weights 750 cals

STILL on DD's laptop - new computer coming tomorrow

Wow Tracey!!! Way to go on that skirt being so loose!Your good food choices and awesome workouts are really paying off!! Keep up the good work!

I hope you're enjoying your vacation from work. Have a great time tomorrow afternoon!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracey,

I think the loose skirt says it all! That is a sure sign of how far you have come and how hard you have worked. Good job!

Hope your weather cooperates!

 

[lovinaz]

Congrats on the loose skirt!

I think you and I have similar bodies when it comes to losing weight. Nothing, nothing, nothing, then BAM! a bunch of weight comes off all at once.

Hang in there, your BAM! will come soon!

WI - lost 2 lb's 11 st 8lb (162lb )
thats the 1st loss in weeks ...about bloomin time!!

had a nice afternoon thursday with work friends but i spent all morning cleaning patio furniture & then the heavens opened
so we didnt get to sit in the garden - & its STILL raining!!!

didnt get to gym Thurday as we got a call saying nw computer was being delivered......& its STILL not turned up

so i made up for missing gym & went friday instead

bought 2 gorgeous dresses - & got the next size down

went out for dinner last night & had to complain - i ordered crab, lime & chili linguini - tasted completly bland - might as well have just had a bowl of plain pasta!
DH's was burnt, friends fish was slimy!!
they apologised & gave us a free round of drinks.
good side was i only ate half but did have 1 gin & tonic & half a bottle of wine

i'm just so worried - i finally lost weight on the weekend that involves lots of eating out & drinking!!!
DSIL cooking tonight - i did ask for healthy - will see, at least i wont be drinking as i'm driving!
sunday - going out with neighbours drinking in the evening - NOT the on, off, on, off, on, off, on, off.....neighbours ...WHO I ADD ARE ON AGAIN!!!

off to pick DD up - out shopping..again...dont know where she gets it from

 

[lovinaz]

Woohoo!!! Congrats on the loss! Don't worry, you have all week to behave with food and erase any damage that may have been done this weekend. Been there, done that!

Wonderful about the new dress size! You are doing great, keep it up.

 

[traceycooper]

thanks amy

the meal at my dsil yesterday was lovely & she went to a lot of trouble to make sure it was pretty healthy for me too i also went to the gym

starter was home made corn soup followed by salmon with a tomato & herb sauce & chilli rice, dessert - a tiny expresso cup with a choc/brandy mousse inside & a ginger bunny biscuit (ate half) & 1 diet coke & 1 diet lemonade so i'm counting that as a good success

just to be on the safe side i got up at 8am today & went spinning

sunday
b/fast creal
lunch - smll baked potato with lf chk filler, strawberries
dinner - tuna sandwich, lf yogurt, 1/2 a med size choc chip muffin

foods great but i'm just off to get ready for a night out - hoping to stay mainly on gin & slimline tonic (less cals) i tend to nibble when i have to much to drink so thats the challenge for tonight!
DD at a friends sleepover

 

[Amy&Dan]

Congratulations on the loss, I knew the scale would catch up to all your hard work! And that was very sweet of your sister in law to make that healthy dinner.

Hope you had a fun night out!

 

[lovinaz]

How did your night out go? It's so hard to behave when you start drinking, isn't it? Hopefully you packed an extra dose of willpower with you!

I'll be in your neck of the woods (well, in the UK anyway!) next week. I'll wave to you as I drive by Stonehenge for the 21st time!

 

[toystoryduo]

Congratulations on the weight loss, Tracey!!!

How was your night out?

I hope you have a wonderful day ahead!

 

[goldcupmom]

Congrats on the loss, Tracey! And new, SMALLER clothes!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!

Have a wonderful rest of the week!

 

[traceycooper]

just a quicky as DD is wanting the lap top - yep STILL waiting for our new one!! supposed to come tomorrow.

i had to go to hospital today!!!
remember the cough? well i've had the darn thing 2 months now so went to the dr's who sent me to hospital for a chest x-ray, results back in about a week! keep fingers crossed for me that its nothing too scary!

food good, i stayed on gin & slimline tonic sunday night although lots of it

been spinning tonight & did gym yesterday & doing gym tomorrow

i have two teens stood staring at me so gotta go - will try to get to journals tomorrow

 

[toystoryduo]

Tracey,

I'm sorry to hear that you had to go to the hospital yesterday. I know you said that you will get results back in a week, but did they give you any medicine yet? We'll be praying for you!

Great job on the workouts!

Have a wonderful day!

 

[traceycooper]

thanks tracy - i didnt get any meds - Dr said no point giving me antibiotics as could not find any sign of infection! she did offer me an inhaler but i turned it down as the cough hasnt really stopped me doing anything (still jogging & spinning!) & i thought it better to wait & see what they find 1st!!

WI - no change- still 11 st 8 lb i consider that a good thing as we ate out a couple of times & i've nibbled chocolate!!!
i have wi with nurse later so will get my waist measurement then.

got a lazy day today - rest day from gym, nothing planned
hoping the sun might make a rare appearence later - grey at the moment but at least its stopped raining!!!

new computer never turned up again so i rang Dell - turns out the delivery company cant find us - joys of living on a new build- but what annoys me is why doesnt anyone bother to contact us to let us know this!! soooo its supposed to be coming today now they have directions

 

[toystoryduo]

I hope your new computer arrives today.

I also hope the sun makes an appearance for you today.

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

[lovinaz]

That stinks about your computer! And it stinks that Dell didn't initiate the call. I guess they figure that if you really want it you'll call them...

Good news on the WI, especially if you were a little naughty with food this week!

Enjoy your free day!

 

[traceycooper]

Oh Tracey,

Sweetie, I am so sorry to hear about your friend's brother. This must be such a difficult time for family and friends. We'll say a prayer for everyone.

I'm glad that you got your new computer! I'm also happy to hear that you have sunshine out your way!

I hope you get the results from your x-rays soon.

Have a great day tomorrow!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, I am so sorry about your friend's brother. 45 is way too young to die. It does make you appreciate what you have. And good job keeping up all your hard work at the gym when you have a cough. I hope the you get the results for your chest xray soon and that its an all clear!

I need to get my ds a laptop, his schoolwork in the evenings interferes with my disboarding! Can you relate??
