Hey Jen!

Woohoo! You're in WDW now!!! How's the weather there?

I think it is wonderful that you are able to get your exercise in while you are on vacation! Combine that with all of the walking you'll do and you can have a special treat every now and then.

Just keep swimming Jen! You CAN do it!!!

Glad you are having a good time at WDW and Universal. You will have to do a trip report when you come back.

Hi Jenn!!!!! Glad you're having fun! Just keep swimming!

 

[goldcupmom]

Sunburns.....OUCH!! But this too shall pass!

Glad you're having a good time. How is gator guy doing?

I can't wait to hear the weight results for you. I'll bet you lose a good amount even on vacation and if you don't, oh well. You will continue once you're home.

Fun is the main thing!

Happy Early Birthday!

Jen -- You sound like you are having a great time and you are doing such an awesome job with your food and water! AWESOME going, sweetie!
I cannot wait to hear all about the trip. I hope you are keeping track of all the great food choices you are finding in various places, so we can all learn from your experience.

Give our regards to Jeff, too. You guys are going to be tan and gorgeous on your return to real life!

P.S. When you get back and have a chance to catch up on journals, you will find out I am getting a WDW fix in August -- a weekend trip with one of my best friends in the world who is also a Disney nut! Am taking her to our beloved Beach Club Villas and we will have almost 2 days to do the parks. I am excited beyond words!

Good goin', TOJ! Keep up the awesome exercise, water intake and FUN!!!

Oh and..

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear TOJen, happy bday to you!"
