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

[traceycooper]

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

ha haa not any more Amy - we are finally up & running just testing it out

go to Dr's for chest x-ray results on Tuesday

WI - no change

food & exercise - good - as usual - just wish the scale would agree!!

weather - been sunny & reasenably warm - pity it was the week i'm back at work!!! finally have leaves on the trees so the garden looks pretty

DD - gone to see a big uk girl group called girls aloud - shes so excited bless her

DH & I have been invited around to the neighbours for a dinner party tonight - yep those neighbours!!! will be others their so should be ok!!

gotta dash off & get ready.....

 

[Amy&Dan]

Well, eat and drink plenty at those neighbor's party, for what you have had to deal with being a free marriage counseler, they owe you!

Glad spring is there for you, send it my way! So cute dd is excited about the concert. I remember those days! I still think we need to meet in WDW and have your dd and my ds meet!

 

[lovinaz]

Glad to hear you finally got your new computer!

Don't fret about the scale, I'm sure it will move again soon.

I will be back in the UK (yes, I just got back last night) a week from Monday! I got the 3rd degree from the passport control lady this last time. She was looking in my passport and she said "you were just here in March" and I said "Yes, and I will be here again in May and in June" and then the questions started...

I will try to bring more sunny and warm weather with me when I come back out!

 

[traceycooper]

I still think we need to meet in WDW and have your dd and my ds meet!

that would be sooo cool what ya doing 3rd - 13th Aug 2010??

Amy - my mum & dad came back from Spain a couple of weeks ago & customs were aweful to them too!! because they had already been for a month in January - took them into a room searched cases, questioned about their duty free, even made mum roll a cigerette in front of them to prove they were for her!!! (i dont approve of their smoking - but that even shocked me!) & then wanted to know who the bottle of wine was for in her case beceuse she hadnt mentioned it (even though it was allowed!)

went to neighbours - was a nice evening, had beef casserole, strawberrie & dark choc triffle followed by cheese & biscuits, several glasses of red wine, 1 gin & tonic & an ameretto & coke!!!
so i worked hard spinning today!!!

hopefully having lots of neighbours & friends & family over for drinks & nibbles in the garden later - if the sun keeps shining!

Hi Tracey,

You are doing a great job with your workouts, girl! Keep up the good work!

I hope your doctor's appointment goes well today and that you get some answers about the x-rays.

Have a great Tuesday!

 

[traceycooper]

Thanks Tracy
x-ray results came back clear
so i have to now try an inhayler for 2 weeks, she said my glands were still swollen & so was my throat & my peak flow was low.

neighbours came over sunday - even though the sun went in, we put the patio heater on, lots came so it was nice

Sunday - food was all over the place, & i cant really remember!! & i had quite a bit of wine!! did go spinning though!

monday -
woke up with a really bad throat, felt dizzy & weak - dragged myself to work & did start to feel better as the day wore on! no exercise
b/fast - cereal
snack - banana
lunch - 2 smll cheese/ham rolls, lf yogurt, strawberies
dinner - big plate of wholemeal pasta with tomatoes & tuna & lf cheese (felt my body needed the energy - think it worked too!)

had an early night & got a bit of a lie in this morning as i didnt have to go into work before 10am drs appointment

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, glad the x ray came back clear. Hopefully the inhaler will help. Don't know what its like in the UK, but over here there have been some bad strains fo flu and it can take quite awhile to get over it all. Poor dd is still on the mend. Hope you are feeling better!

Glad the neighbor get together was fun.

 

[toystoryduo]

Woohoo!!!! So glad to hear that the x-ray came back clear! I hope the inhaler will help.

Have a wonderful day ahead!!!

 

[goldcupmom]

Thought I posted here, yesterday....wonder where it went??

Anyway, I'm really glad your xray was clear. Hopefully the inhaler will help, or maybe see if they can give you a nebulizer for a short while. Those seem to work miracles.

Have a GREAT weekend & HEAL!!

 

[traceycooper]

Thanks everyone

I'm not sure about the inhayler yet - but its early days!!

i for got to add the latest on my on again off again neighbours...
when they came over sunday they announced they were engaged!!!
& have spent all their savings on a motor home!!! The woman neighbour who i have been consouling everytime he dumped her has put all her money into this motorhome - all the money she was going to use to start over when he dumped her & she thought she would have to sell up - so next time he dumps her what she gonna do ??? live in the motorhome?? - that he keeps calling his motorhome!!!

i really it hope it all works out for them, but you can understand my doubts!!

exercise

Tuesday - gym 700 cals
wednesday - spinning - 800 cals
Thursday - gym - 600 cals
someone at spinning commented on how much weight i'd lost!!

Thursdays food
b/fast - cereal
snack - apple
lunch - tuna sandwich, lf yogurt, strawberries
dinner - turkey curry with wholemeal rice

WI tomorrow

We have a long weekend as it is a bank holiday on monday

The swine flu thing is scaring me to death - just hope its not as bad as the media is making out!!..off to wash my hands...again!!

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Tracey!! Wow! I dont' know how you can be so patient with your neighbors! You are a really good and patient and kind person. I hope you are feeling better and that the inhaler helps. Your exercise and food are so impressively disciplined. You are a real inspiration to me! You must have felt awesome to have someone at the gym comment on your progress. You go, girl!! Have a nice, long weekend!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, the swine flu thing is scary. I see today Florida will be one of three states hardest hit by late May, just as we are about to go there. Hopefully it will taper off. But keep washing those hands!

Your neighbor sounds like one of those women who is setting herself up to be a professional victim. I can't stand women who in spite of all the warning signs, let some dirtbag guy ruin their life. Hope that motor home is in her name. She needs to have her head examined!

Your food looks good, enjoy your long weekend. Did you weigh today? Hope if you did it went well!

 

[toystoryduo]

Tracey,

I can't believe that your neighbor went ahead and bought a motor home with this guy! Is it in her name?

Great job at the gym! I bet that compliment felt good!

How did weigh in go?

Hope you have a great weekend!

 

[traceycooper]

WI - 2 lb down

that takes me to 11 st 6 lb (160 lb's)
which is 1 lb less than when i got married 2 1/2 yrs ago!!!

i'm ''officially'' down a dress size too as all my old size clothes that i try on are always too big now

I am sooooo tired - went out with my (normal) neighbour last night for her birthday, didnt get to bed till 2am i'm not used to that now!!
but i was sooo proud of myself - i got up at 8.30am this morning & went to my spinning class - hows that for dedication eh!!

friday
b/fast - cereal
snack - banana
lunch - sandwich, lf yogurt, strawberries
dinner - fish & chips, smll choc bar (which made me feel a bit sick)

exercise - walked to work

Saturday
b/fast - cereal
lunch - 2 cheese topped rolls with full fat cheese (not had that in a while & i felt quite sick afterwards too!) ham & mayo, lf yogurt
dinner- not sure yet!

exercise - TM, 45 mins spinning, arm weights

i've noticed lately when i do have something really unhealthy i'm not enjoying it, even makes me feel sick sometimes!!

as you know i live in a new home & the site now is almost finished, the lady who works in the show home has become a really good friend, i often pop round with a cuppa for a chat....well tomorrow is her last day - shes being moved to a new site, i will really miss her


off to see her now with some flowers (& a cuppa of course )

 

[lovinaz]

CONGRATS on the loss!!! Pretty soon you will be under 11st! And that is quite the excuse to go shopping, isn't it?

As for your neighbor, some women just don't get it. I almost feel sorry for her. You are a good friend to try to help her out as much as you do.

I will try to bring some more AZ sunshine with me this week! Enjoy your day off tomorrow.

 

[toystoryduo]

Congrats on the weight loss, Tracey!!!! You are doing a great job!

I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, congrats on the loss! I am so proud of you, how many women can say they weigh less than they did when they got married?! I sure as **** can't!

Hopefully you and your friend can still meet occasionally and keep in touch.

Keep up the good work, excellent job going to spinning when you were out late. I'm impressed.
