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

[traceycooper]

just a quicky...

got a letter from the holiday company - some error meant they were upgrading our dolphin room to lake view for free
still no free dining though

The spirometry was breathing into a machine before & after using an inhayler, went to dr's today - was a bit vague doesnt seem to know what it is but thinks its viral, but is sending me to an ear, nose & throat specialist


food been good, exercise good too but i've felt very tired this week, we break uo friday for a week i'm sooo ready
off for a spa day/night tues/wed with work friends - having a facial & oriental exfoliation also got a massage booked tomorrow
hair cut on Thurs - so a pretty pampering week off

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, I am glad you got the upgrade at the Swan, but sorry about the free dining thing. That must be beyond frustrating. Have you thought about going ahead and cancelling? Even with the loss of the $600, with free dining, you'd probably come out ahead maybe? Booking WDW trips is a touch and go, frustrating, extremely scary thing! I hope it all works out.

I am also a repeat weigher.

Good luck with your official weigh in, I am betting you'll be happy, you've worked hard. Glad you have a week off, you deserve it!

 

[lovinaz]

Sounds like you have a wonderful, relaxing week planned! Hopefully that will re-energize you.

 

[traceycooper]

wi - no change AGAIN

temptation got the better of me at work - giant choc chip cookie & a smll piece of birthday cake sad thing is it actually made me feel ill & i didnt enjoy it at all!!!!

i really need to catch up on journals - just seem to be able to grab 5 mins here & there at the mo!!!

to all .....

 

[lovinaz]

I think your body is trying to tell you that it doesn't like that junk anymore! I used to be able to eat a whole piece of cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, but now I get sick to my stomach after about 1/3 of it. It's a good thing but a shame at the same time!

Don't get discouraged, the scale will move downwards soon. At least it didn't go up, right??

 

[toystoryduo]

That's great that you got a free upgrade at the Dolphin!!! Sending more for that free dining to get added too!

No worries on weigh-in....I bet you'll see a whoosh on the scale next week!

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Tracey!! I hope you can get your trip details ironed out. Don't let the scale get to you -- you are obviously doing so great, staying on track. BTW, is the inhaler steroids?? Just wondering if that may be temporarily hampering your WL efforts.

 

[goldcupmom]

I was just about to ask the same thing about your inhaler. If it's steroid, you are lucky to not be gaining a BUNCH!!

Your spa day sounds heavenly!!

Hope everything gets workied out about your WDW trip soon. So frustrating!!

Have a great week!

After the week i've had - not bloomin likely!!!!

last weekend we had gorgeous weather
saturday - DB's BBQ - lots of unhealthy food & dip!!
sunday - went drinking with friends then ordered pizza
Monday - another bbq
Tuesday - spa hotel - 3 course meal, LOTS of wine

Wednesday
back home very tired, hotel gorgeous, oriental exfoliation - dreamy, facial - amazing, hotel & room - stunning! lots of chandiliers!
we did go to the gym their yesterday & swam today & when i got home i went to spinnning class.
But i dont think thats gonna make up for all the c£*p i've eaten & drank!!

gonna hit the gym tomorrow too & try & have a junk/alcohol free day!!!

I only used the inhayler 3 times when they 1st gave it me - not needed it since as the cough went away, so cant blame that!
i go to see an ear,nose & throat specialist tomorrow...

 

[toystoryduo]

It sounds like you had a great time at the spa, Tracey!

Great job getting back into the gym!

Any updates on the WDW situation?

I hope your doctor's appointment goes well tomorrow.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Wow, that spa sounds heavenly! You never know with the scale, it migh surprise you. At least if its a gain, you know why. What stinks the most is when you behave and the scale isn't nice! Good job with the exercise. Just drink plenty of water and what you ate will flush away. You had fun, that is worth something!

 

[lovinaz]

Sometimes you just have to have those splurge weekends!

How did everything go at the ENT Dr?

 

[toystoryduo]

Hope you're having a good week so far, Tracey!

 

[traceycooper]

back after spending a lovely few sunny days in the garden.
ear,nose throat app horrible - ended up having a camera down my throat, not something i expected!!!!
dr said throat looked red & to come back in 2 mths!!!

WI - up 1lb - first gain in months!! but could have been worse!
I didnt make gym on Saturday - weather too nice
but made all other days. Food good except for the odd ice cream

gotta dash - i WILL be back

 

[toystoryduo]

Sorry the appointment didn't go as expected. How are you feeling now?

I hope you have a great day today!

 

[traceycooper]

Thanks Tracy

I feel ok now but it really shook me up as my throat felt completly paralised during the procedure, Dr asked me to swallow while camera was in & when i tried i couldnt & it felt like i was choking or suffocating!! really scary!!

Got a day off today (yes i know we've only been back 3 days after a 1 week break!) school was closed for local elections
Soooo i went to the gym, had lunch their, went shopping - spent an absoulute fortune!!! even this months WDW savings But they had soooo many pretty dresses i couldnt resist!!! I need help & i need a social life so i can wear everything!!

off to try & catch up with everyone

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hey Tracey,

You've got plenty of time to to save for WDW, enjoy your new dresses!

That small of a gain is probably just water, I bet next weigh in will see a nice loss. Glad you have had some nice weather! Keep up the good work.

And ice cream is never odd.

 

[traceycooper]

thanks Amy

WI - no change - still 1 lb up, BUT went to see nurse for ''official'' monthly wi & i'm down 1 lb on their scale from last month - a 1lb a month loss eh??!! i'll be 80 before i reach my goal weight!!
she took my blood pressure & said i have the blood pressure of a 20 yr old

weather back to typical english now - cold & rainy till at least monday
good news is at least i wont mind being in the gym

 

[lovinaz]

I love shopping! Sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do...

I will be in your neck of the woods again next week! I saw the weather forecast. Not looking good. It's going to be hard going from sunny and 100deg F to raining and 65deg F overnight!

I think you will reach your goal before you are 80! Maybe 70...

 

[toystoryduo]

Shopping can be a lot of fun!!!! No worries, Tracey... You have plenty of time before your WDW vacation to save that money.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
