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

[lovinaz]

That is awful! I agree with Amy, do you have a friend with a big, scary dog you could borrow for a couple nights? Poor DD, can you keep a baseball bat (ok, probably not that common in the UK) or something else by the door so she would feel more secure? I hope this situation clears up soon for you.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracey, hope last night was better!

I like the baseball bat idea.

OMG, how scary about the prowlers and the shed. Hopefully they'll be afraid to come back because they'll figure you're prepared for them now. And it's even worse when your sinuses are bugging you...everything is harder to deal with when you feel miserable.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracey,

Hope things settled down and that you are having a nice weekend. Too bad your Wish sisters are all so far away, we could come over, lay in wait and all go out and beat the crap out of that guy!

I'm glad to hear that whoever was trying to break into your shed has not made a return trip. Hopefully, they got the message and will stay away!

Great job on your workouts!

I hope you have a great week ahead!

 

[lovinaz]

I'm glad things have calmed down with the shed pest. I hope he stays gone for good!

Yum, yum, yum, I love treacle tarts!!!! So jealous....

 

[inkkognito]

Glad to hear all has been quiet around the shed. Hopefully the prowler is gone for good now.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, glad your prowler hasn't been back. That must be a relief!

I had some dip issues awhile back and thought of you! I love me some dip too.

Your two pound gain will be gone soon. Just keep focused on what you need to do and it will happen!

 

[lovinaz]

Where are you, Tracey?? We miss you!!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Where are you, Tracey?? We miss you!!!

I agree! We miss you, Tracey!!! I hope you'll come back and post an update soon.

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad the prowler seems to be gone. Hopefully things are going ok with you! Don't worry about the gain. You've been doing so well your body probably needs to regroup & it will be gone quickly.

 

[traceycooper]

[lovinaz]

Wow, you are looking so fit and trim! Great job signing up for those races, I know you'll do great.

I hope DMIL is better now.

 

[traceycooper]

been for a quick jog outdoors today, i have 4 weeks before the first run! also went for a walk with DH

bought some shorts for hols - size 12 uk (US size 8)

DD has a boy downstairs!!! - he walked 5 miles to bring her a rose for valentines day how sweet, he loves her but DD just wants to be friends!!!

off to make sweet potato wedges for dinner with LF lasagne

 

[lovinaz]

Aww, how sweet that DD has an admirer already! I'm sure you are already bracing yourself for when she wants to be more than friends!

Congrats on the shorts! You are really getting into great shape.

I love sweet potatoes, I might have to make some tonight!

 

[traceycooper]

sweet potatos dont make very attractive wedges!! they were very soggy looking - but tasted ok!!!

DD's best friend told me that the boy is going to ask DD to go out with him tomorrow!!! - hes really nice & wants to be a doctor - so i'm ok with it

wanted to go for another run this morning - got all the gear on & its raining
so decided against it - dont want to end up ill!! have spinning tonight so thats good!

today is WI with nurse & eyes tested!!

 

[toystoryduo]

You look great, Tracey! Congrats on signing up for the 2 charity races!!!

How is your DMIL? I hope she is feeling better now.


I hope weigh-in goes well and that the eye doctor appointment goes well too.

Have a great Monday!

 

[lovinaz]

How did WI go?? And did DD accept the date from the wanna-be Dr??
