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

[toystoryduo]

That's cool that you had a white Christmas this year! I'm with you and Amy though...Now that Christmas is over, I say let's bring on spring and summer!

Great job getting to the gym! Keep up the good work!

I think we're going to just miss each other in WDW this year. We arrive September 12th. Will you still be there then?

Hope you have a great Monday!

I got to see your snow first hand! It delayed my flight back from India... It started snowing during our layover. It was nice to see the white stuff - don't get too much of that where I live!

Don't worry, the parade of chocolate will be coming to an end soon!

Hey Tracey....remember me? I'm baaaaaaaaaaack! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'll get all caught up soon!

Oh, and I started a new journal. See my sig.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY WISH BUDDIES

 

[lovinaz]

That is great that you made it through the holidays with no gain! And look at you, right back on track with your workouts. Way to go!

PS-I don't think there is such a thing as a fab time in India. That place is total chaos!

 

[inkkognito]

Don't you just love it when the scale is kind!

Have fun tonight, even if it's just staying in. Sometimes it's nice to have a peaceful ringing in the of New Year.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hey Tracey: You are going to WDW this year!!!

I hope you had a nice NYE at home, sometimes those are the best ones. And you can drink all you want!

That is so great your scale was good news. With the new lifestyle you have adapted, chances are even when you are being a bit naughty, you really aren't being that bad. And you have gotten some good workouts in to finish off 2009 on a positive note!

So glad you had a nice lunch with your granddad. You are so lucky to have each other!

Happy New Year!

 

[toystoryduo]

Happy New Year, Tracey!

We decided to stay home last night too. It was a nice, relaxing evening for us. I hope you had a nice evening too!

Congrats on the weigh-in and on getting those workouts in!!!

Hope you have a great day!

IM GOING TO WDW THIS YEAR!!

Think that just about covers my emotions on that!!!

New Year was good, watched 'escape from witch mountain' played on the wii, ate a whole tub of cheese & chive dip & chocolate & wine!

we stayed up till midnight & hugged & toasted the new year
DD screamed ''i leave school this year & i'm 16 this year & i'm going to see Muse!!'' (she is staying on at school but apparently she says offical school is done - they get to stay on or go to college either is good then uni)
DH shouted ''Forest might get promoted this year'' (his fave football sorry 'soccer' team who are palying really well at the moment.)
& i shouted the above
we then went upstairs & watched the fireworks from our bedroom window (we have quite a good view) then went downstairs & watched the fireworks in London on the TV.

New yrs day - we went to the pub with friends who then came back to ours for tea - ate way to much unhealthy pastry filled buffet food & alcohol!!
went to bed feeling horrible .....
today was soooo motivated to go to the gym & work hard & felt better for it!

Stupid snow is back
was going to go shopping for a prom dress for DD but weather too aweful, just want to stop in!

i havnt really made any goals, i will be happy to maintain my weight over the next couple of months - jan/feb i find sooo depressing i know i'll comfort eat to some degree - but as long as i exercise & comfort eat in moderation i should be ok, then when it starts to warm up i will try to do better with food - would like another 7lb off for WDW in Aug.
i would like to book WDW for xmas 2011 the brochures will be out end march/april but need to ask for unpaid leave first & see how much it has gone up this time!!!
ok i've waffled on enough!!

 

[inkkognito]

You know you're doing well when overeating is uncomfortable and acts as an exercise motivator.

It's always great to have a trip to look forward to, especially WDW. I've been avoiding it due to the holiday crowds and I'm going through withdrawals...I'll probably venture to Epcot later this month, after the marathons.

I'm sending good thoughts for the snow to GO AWAY for you!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracey, your NYE sounds wonderful. Dip, wine, chocolate, hugs, fireworks and you got to scream you are going to WDW. What could be better???!!!

I hate January and February too. I think setting the goal to maintain the healthy weight loss you achieved in 2009 is a perfect goal! I know you will keep that weight off!

Happy 2010!!

 

[toystoryduo]

You're going to WDW this year!!!!!! I bet you are getting super excited for your trip! Will you be doing a pre-trip or trip report?

Hope you have a great Sunday!

 

[traceycooper]

barb - maybe you could venture over to WDW when we are their

Amy

Hi Tracey, your NYE sounds wonderful. Dip, wine, chocolate, hugs, fireworks and you got to scream you are going to WDW. What could be better???!!!

when you put it like that it was pretty good

Tracy - never done a pre trip but will deff do a trip report again when we return - i so enjoyed reliving it last time

I've actually just come on the computer to start my itinary as i can make ADR's on 4th Feb just hope park schedule is out then!!! eg want to do CP breakfast (again ) in 1st day or 2 but dont want it on EMH morning!

i had a quick look at booking ADR's online, but i dont get a reservation number, as booked through a TA & its the UK, but think i can still book them right??? might be easier for me to just call, as i always make loads of ADR's

b/fast - cereal - 250 cals

lunch - smll baked potato with lf cheese, fish gourjons & salad, lf choc mousse - 700 cals

[inkkognito]

You should be able to do ADRs online although it's a pain. I've had it tell me there is no availability, only to call and find there is plenty.

Mmmmm, that walk in the snow sounds lovely. I used to love to ride my horse in the woods after a snowfall when we lived in Chicago.

 

[goldcupmom]

You are doing so AWESOME, Tracey! No worries about the recent holiday tidbits!

Besides, this is the year for WDW!!!!!!!! Enjoy your snowy walks! I wish I had snow!

Hope this week is a good one for you!

 

[lovinaz]

You are doing great, even with a little holiday overindulgence. Just think of how much better shape you will be in for this year's trip!

 

[toystoryduo]

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

That's great that you'll be able to make your ADRs soon! I can't wait to make ours in March!! I hope you'll share your ADR list once you get them. You know how we all love trip details! (especially the food ones! )

Have a great day!
