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

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracey, I'll send some good wishes for Leanne's exams! My dd hates math and its her worst subject, kinda like me!

I am so glad you had a snow day, unbelieveable they wanted you to park in that lot and walk on those sidewalks. Thank goodness somebody came to their senses!

Hope the snow stops and you get a warm up!

More snow? Whew! Where is global warming when you need it?

Nice, sensible meals

 

[toystoryduo]

More snow? Yikes! We didn't get as much snow as was forecasted yesterday. I look out my window every morning and think the snow is pretty, but I am ready for spring already!

Hope you have a nice, relaxing weekend!

Hope the snow stops and you get a warm up!

OMG - heavy snow forcast tomorrow, monday, tuesday AND wednesday - thats as far as the long range forcast goes!!
the only good thing will be if i get more snow days off its been the longest christmas break!!

poor DH is worn out gritting everynight - but tonight is his last night on call he gets a ''normal'' week at work during the day (hes on call & on nights every other week) hes put a couple of days holidays in next week as his sleep patterns are all over the place - last night in his sleep he jumped out of bed ran into the wardrobe door & jumped on me!! i screamed at him to get off & he just lay back down asleep! he couldnt remember a thing about it when i told him today!!

i forgot to WI yesterday so did it today - no change still considering what ive ate over the last 3 weeks i'm more than happy

Saturday
b/fast - cereal - 250 cals
lunch - steak, fries, 2 smll onion rings, mini corn cob, grilled tomato, & mushrooms, lf yogurt - 750 cals
dinner - 3 smll pieces of crusty bread toasted with french brie & chopped tomato on top - 400 cals

total cals so far - 1400 but i may have something later as i'm still feeling hungry, proberbly because of the awesome workout i did today.....

exercise - 900 cals at gym i had soooo much energy at the gym today! even the trainer commented on it & said how many of the regulars havent been turning up because of the weather & how impressed he was with me i said i wanted to work hard as i didnt know when i'd be able to get back again because of the weather & that i've worked too darn hard to get to this point to give it all up now! so feeling pretty proud of myself

 

[inkkognito]

Oh my goodness, more snow? You are going to be buried!

Good for you to get in your workout...doesn't it feel great on those high energy days?

 

[toystoryduo]

More snow?!?!? YIKES!!! We're getting a reprieve this week with temps in the 30s and sunshine.... Please be careful out there!

Your poor DH. I bet all of those extra hours on call are tough, especially since the weather is not cooperating right now. Here's hoping he's able to get some rest and catch up on some sleep!

Great job on getting to the gym, Tracey!!!

Hope you have a great Sunday!

 

[lovinaz]

It seems like your poor DH is always on call when the weather is at its worst! I'm glad to hear he will have a more regular schedule next week.

I bet you were freaked out when he was sleepwalking! But I bet after the shock wears off, you guys will be able to laugh about it.

GREAT JOB getting to the gym, and I'm glad you got a good workout in. I bet it felt great!

woke up to completly different weather forecast!! no where near as bad - so looks like i'll be in work tomorrow - but it is an inset day so no kids in
Temps actually above freezing today ...just!

had some cereal with fresh strawberries last night so another 250 cals
total - around 1700 (i like to round up)
when i'm back in a normal routine i really need to drop my cals - i'm maintaining but not losing, its hard as i find even though i feel much fitter - the exercise makes me much hungrier!! & if i drop cals much i get light headed!! we'll see! seeing nurse next week so will ask her advice.

sunday

lunch - chk/bacon pasta bake with cheese/bacon bread - 750 cals

snack - chocolate - 150 cals

total - 1550
exercise - non

woke up feeling light headed then this evening when i swallowed i got this pain in my chest through into my back & its spreading up to my throat & i have headache - not good - i seem to get these symptoms every 4-6 weeks, & end up with a bad throat - another thing to ask nurse

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, I hope you don't come down with something. And I am so glad it warmed up a bit and the forecast got a bit better. Even if it does mean work for sure tomorrow!

Too funny about your dh, Dan often does things like that in his sleep. And he never remembers either!

Great job maintaining! Given the weather and the holidays, I'd say that is something to be proud of!

 

[kimwim8]

Get some rest, honey! And tell that DH of yours to stop jumping on you in the middle of the night. (sorry, couldn't resist! hahaha)

Great job at the gym! I'm so proud of you!

 

[toystoryduo]

I'm glad that the weather forecast has improved for you! We're expecting 3-5 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. I'm not sure where that came from because it wasn't forecasted here until yesterday. I think we should start an official countdown to spring!

I hope you're feeling better today. I've been sick for over a week now and I finally feel like I'm getting better.

Have a great day!

 

[inkkognito]

Glad to hear that your weather is improving, but bummer about feeling under the weather. I hope you can head it off.

 

[goldcupmom]

I can't believe all that snow you have!! WOW!!!!!!!

Hope you are feeling a bit better & that you got some sleep last night.

Poor DH with all the gritting.

Hey, I found you on FB, but it won't let me add you....weird!

Have a great week! good luck to DD w/ the exams!

 

[lovinaz]

That is not good if you are having a sore throat that often. I'd definitely ask the nurse about that! Do you still have your tonsils?

 

[toystoryduo]

Hope you're feeling better today, Tracey!

Sent you a PM.....

[toystoryduo]

I'm glad that you're feeling better, Tracey.

Sorry to hear about the weather over there. I hope it gets better for you soon!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

 

[lovinaz]

Hang in there! Ice is definitely worse than snow! At least with snow you can get some sort of traction, with ice, it's just a free-for-all...

You are dedicated to get to spinning with all the weather issues!

 

[inkkognito]

Ice...ugh! My sympathies are with you! When we moved to FL, we packed up the car in Chicago without checking the weather forecast and hit a freak ice storm in Atlanta. I never prayed so hard...it still amazes me we made it in one piece (and with three cats and a bird in the car). I'm sending good thoughts for a warm up/melt for you.

 

[traceycooper]

You are dedicated to get to spinning with all the weather issues!
