Here is the first of a series of LO's about my Weight
Loss, let's hope that bigger "to Lose" Number will go
right down to 0 I did this with TerrellS In the Dirt Kit.
 

 
Okay before I go on any further with Layouts, just wanted
to let you know that I am going to be away for 3 weeks. I
am taking the laptop with me but I may have more than
the usual Layouts, I got a new 8.5 Megapixel camera and
so I will be snapping away like crazy while I am in Melbourne
and in Hobart LOL. I can't wait to see everybody, but
mostly Christopher and Mum.  I am spending 3 nights in
Melbourne with Jo, Rachael and Faith for a girly weekend
but in the middle of the week. LOL. I will be having my
37th Birthday while I am in Melbourne too so we are
going to "fifteen" you know, the Jamie Oliver Restaurant
to help out street kids training to be chefs, can't wait!!
 
Okay well on with the Layouts...
 
Okay did this one for fun, gotta love Brad!!! I used TerrellS
New Grunge Textures to do the background paper.
 

Here's one of my and my Baby Boy, who is nearly ready
to take his Driver's Licence P Plate Test. Chris is 20 on
15th February, but he's still my little boy.  Used Memories
of a Garden Ribbons from TerrellS ( I recoloured them
to suit the colour scheme) and the textures were used
again in the background.
 

 
Okay got a cool pic of my wedding band and Engagement
ring so thought I'd do another layout with them.  This
kit is Roses for Mom by TerrellS

 
And this one is using TerrellS Mootwo Chat freebies. I
did this Layout for my Mum to let her know how much I
love and admire her!! Love you mum so much!!!

3.6 KG Lost!!! Woohoo!!

Yes what a start to my Weight Loss Journey, I've dropped 3.6 kg, that's nearly 8 pounds for eveyone in the imperial world!!! I am amazed as It was not that hard. just have to keep it up I guess!! So we have our first visit with our new IVF doctor today and I will feel better being able to tell her I lost some weight this week!! Cause I just know the first thing out of her mouth will be "Tracy you need to lose a lot of weight!" as in their booklet it says you can't start if you are over 20% overweight! Sigh!!! Oh well I've made a start anyhow, just have to keep making good healthy choices, right!!?
Okay off to do some housework argh!!!
I got all my QP 4 X 6's done for TerrellS so that's good, one thing achieved yesterday anyway!!
Have a great Day eveyone!!

Hugs
Tracy

Okay So I've been Lazy!!!

You know how it is, I have had an inspiration drought
these last few days and Michael has been off and home
so I tend to feel a little guilty if I spend every minute
on the computer when he's home LOL. Mind you a lot of
the time he is studying too, so there ya go!!! Even!!

Well If you want a freebie run over to TerrellS blog and
grab a QP or two, she has posted 8 so far so better be
quick LOL.

Alright well I am going okay with the Weight Watchers so
far, actually I am finding it quite easy but then I haven't
had to go out to eat or supress my Chocoholic fantasies of
late LOL. So the big test will probably come when I am in
Melbourne, I know that I will not have to worry when i am
at my Mum's as she is always eating healthy so it should be
smooth sailing there and she walks almost every day too, so
I will actually have company LOL. No, Michael doesn't come
along with me on my walks LOL. I was a bit peeved today as
I got a little not from the PO letting me know we had a package
there and so I decided I would walk so I did. It's the right
distance for my walk so that will be my walk out of the way for
the day LOL. Little did I know until I got there that they are the
only PO in the whole of Sydney that isn't open on Saturday
morning. GRRR. Anyway so I didn't have to worry about the walk
being broken. LOL.
So that's that, I am hoping for a great loss on Monday when I
weigh Myself. I have a good feeling LOL.
And I don't know if it is just in my mind but I feel like I've lost
weight LOL.

Onto Scrapbooking LOL.
Here is the first one.


This is my Mum and her great Aunt, I used
Demiurgia's Frangipani kit for these.



Auntie Sadie Using Dablues By TerrellS.



These are my cousin's Girls feeding the ducks in
Northern Ireland.
The kit is Summer Whispers by Terrells.

things now so have a great day!!!

Tracy

Guess What!!!
 
I made the big decision and took the plunge.
 
I AM NOW A WEIGHT WATCHER LOL!!
 

I started yesterday so now I am having to log my intake and exercise,

yeah I am exercising LOL.  I know that I have to lose a heap of weight

for the IVF to work so I am doing WW online.

We'll see how I go LOL. I did it years ago and lost about 12 kgs. But

this time I have a lot more than that to lose. Wish me luck LOL.

 

Okay here are the LO's for today. This one is of my Mum and her

sister Sadie doing the Giant's Causeway walk.

The kit is the Chat Freebie kit from TerrellS of HODS Mootwo and

Stone Accents Studio.

 
This one I did with Demiurgia's Frangipani Kit from seasidescraps.com,
 I just adore this pic of Chris and My Mum!!
 


Okay so that's me for tonight, I am off to bed shortly, just a
reminder before I go that you can grab the CT quickpages over
at TerrellS blog, just remember to leave some love for us LOL,
that means TerrellS, Beachnut and Me, Tee hee.
Okay off to bed, have a great day!

Enter here. Win tix to see Crowded House live at the Greek Theatre, LA!

Hello, from email land


Yeah I am emailing this one in, now that I have discovered that I can compose my posts this way woohoo, so much easier, I think, we'll see.
So I have been doing QP's for Terrell and if you want some super freebie QP's head over to TerrellS Blog and snag some, but remember to leave her some love and also beachnut cause she is creating some awesome QP's that are up for grabs too.

Beachnut aka Doreen, has an awesome blog that you really should drop by and make a coffee and enjoy her posts over at Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

Okay onto the Layouts for today

This is one of the freebies from TerrellS blog from days gone by, so you would have to search for it on her blog, but isn't it pretty, it is a Wedding Mini kit, I just love the papers and those ribbons are so cute.
The photo is one where we weren't posing and I finally started to feel how cold I was, I am cuddling up to Michael because I am freezing. I didn't feel it until after all the I do's were said, I guess my adrenaline rush had subsided by then LOL.

Okay so I did another Layout with TerrellS Summer Whispers Kit and I am really pleased with this one. It is a Layout of Jo (One of My Bridesmaids) I just loved the dresses they had for the wedding and the colour, this photo of her is just great and they are walking along in the light misty rain at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens where we were married and had our photos, it was just a shame about the weather and the light wasn't all that great by the time we got to go take them.

So as for the rest of my week, we had Michael's former flat mate Hayley come and stay for the night with her Mum as they were flying out to Japan this morning, Lucky Ducks. Michael missed out as he was working nightshift and hopefully will be able to catch up with them during the hour they will have between flights on their way home LOL. That's if they get through customs with any time to spare.

Hayley is an ambo too and works in country NSW.

So I did my Housework the day before they were coming and it just rained all day today so now the house if covered in drying washing. But gotta appreciate the rain. We really needed it, and it wasn't just light so that's great!!!

And I went out the other night so there won't be much going on until after I get back from my Melbourne/Hobart trip for my birthday.

Oh but we are off the the new IVF clinic on 27th so lots of tests etc and they say you can't start unless you are under 20% overweight so I think I'll fail that test so not much will happen until I drop some of this extra baggage LOL. No but seriously I sit on my butt too much and need to get out and move more, maybe I'll look into Curves as I've had 3 great reports from friends now so I am taking that as a sign. Or maybe get a bike as there is a track nearby. We'll see, Procrastinating again LOL.

Alright I'm gonna go cause it's after 3 in the morning and I am gong to end up having to sleep the day away with Michael tomorrow if I don't go to bed now, and I really have to go do some commenting on the websites first.

Alrighty, enjoy your day, and keep safe and happy!!
hugs

Snagged this from Doreen's site, isn't she sweet for putting this up, so he's my mascot today Doreen LOL
