Good morning fellow WISHers~

I want to first apologize because I don't think I will be able to make it to journals today. Since it's raining and DH is working, I think the girls and I are going to have a Disney movie marathon. Of course there is some housework that needs to be done and some homeschooling that needs to be done, but I think that is part of the plan for the day.

I just finished 5 Factor for today. I had to do the lunges without weights because my knee is acting up. (Old gymnastics injury) I did get through the workout with very little pain; just a locked up knee once in awhile.

Food wise yesterday was okay. I did manage to eat pretty well most of the day and only when I was hungry except for a small snack of cheese curls and cheddar cheese around 11:00 p.m. last night. Today's plan is to wait until I am hungry to eat.....

My computer still has issues. I thought that it was fixed, but alas, it is not. I guess for the time being, I'll just try to work around it. We can't afford a new computer yet..

Today's Plan:

* Laundry

* Library

* Straighten the house up

* Movie Marathon

* Homeschool Meeting?

* Homeschool

That's all for today. I will try and get to journals tomorrow morning. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning,

Yesterday did not go as planned, but it was a good day.

Today's Plan:

* Five Factor (shoulders,lats)

* Laundry

* Homeschool

* Movie Marathon?

That's all for today. Tomorrow, my DH is deejaying and the girls and I are going to see DH's cousin in concert at a local church. Then, we'll have dinner at my MIL's house.

On Sunday, we are going to see DH's cousin perform again and then we are spending Mother's Day at my mom's house where my grandma will be there too. (We took DH's mom out for dinner last night and will take her gift and dessert to her on Mother's Day.)

Have a great weekend!

Tracy-
have a great weekend and get some relaxing time in!!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy,

Sounds like you are doing well, keep up the good work! And Happy Mother's Day!

 

[CACruisin']

Congrats on the WI loss!! It is always such a great motivator to see the scale go down! Keep up your good work and have a wonderful weekend and Mother's Day.

You are a really good daughter in law to spend time with MIL every weekend, even when your DH isn't there. I hope she appreciates you!

Good evening WISHers~

Yesterday, I was feeling a bit off kilter..... I had a headache and I got sick once, but I thought it was bad food. Fast forward to today... I have a headache, I'm still getting sick, and I am exhausted.... Plus, my DD5 is sick too and my DH is deejaying tonight. Needless to say..... our plans for today changed and maybe for tomorrow too. We'll just have to see how everyone feels when they wake up.

Oddly enough, I did get 5 Factor in today. My cardio was a walk around the block and weights were biceps and triceps: my favorites!

Tomorrow, we are supposed to go to see my DH's cousin sing at a local church and then go to my mom's house for Mother's Day. We'll see what happens...

Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there! Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[CACruisin']

Sorry you and DD are not feeling well. Take it easy and hopefully everyone will feel better tomorrow for Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day Tracy!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks for the Mother's Day wishes!

I'm sorry I didn't get around to journals yesterday to send out wishes to all you moms out there. I have been sick all weekend and I had some extra events thrown at me yesterday. I only had about 10 minutes on the computer and that was spent trying to fix it.

My Mother's Day was okay..... It was great to see DH's cousin in concert. He is truly a gifted musician. He told us later that one of the songs he performed was written for my DH and me! How cool is that?!?!?! It was also great to spend time with family. However, DH and I had an argument and that kind of put a damper on the entire day.

Today, I am still not feeling well. I'm not sure if I will get my workout in or not. The only thing that needs to be done is laundry and I will definitely be taking my time with that.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!

Hi there,

Sorry to hear that you and DD are not feeling well....Take it easy today and get better....don't push yourself. That is pretty cool that your cousin did a song that your DH wrote for you...that is very nice!!!!

Keep up the great work and I hope you feel better soon. Hope you had a great Mother's Day!

Happy Monday

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Jamie!

I'm still not feeling well.... I am hoping that the feeling lifts for awhile because I have to contact a client this evening and maybe book another vacation!

I feel like life is kind of in a holding pattern here. My DH is waiting for several houses to close and is still waiting to here about the communications bid. Hopefully, this will be a very blessed week!

I didn't workout today and I feel a little guilty about that, but I really don't feel well enough to exert the effort right now.... Maybe tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great week!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hi Tracy-
PLEASE dont worry about not exercising...You need to get yourself well first, dont push it!!! Hopefully you will start feeling better and get back into the swing of things soon, but til then RELAX and REST!

 

[goldcupmom]

Hope you're feeling better, Tracy!

Don't worry about the exercise, getting healthy is more important right now.

Hang in there! Have a good week!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy,

I am sorry you aren't feeling well, I hope you are on the road to recovery! And I agree, don't even worry about exercising, your body sounds like it needs to lay low and get better! Hang in there and feel better soon!

Amy

P.S. That is so great about the song, what an honor!

 

[toystoryduo]

Good morning friends,

I woke up still feeling sick today. I don't understand how a 5 year old can catch a "bug" and get rid of it in 24 hours while mom catches the same "bug" and still has it 4 days later.... Doesn't make sense to me. Maybe weigh-in will be good tomorrow though.

Well, I am going to try and get back on track today because I have a to do list that is about 5 miles long. Since I am still not feeling well, I am going to skip 5 Factor and maybe just get a nice, gentle walk in. If the weather cooperates.

Have a great day everyone!

P.S. I booked another vacation!!!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy,

Sorry you are still feeling crummy! I also want to know why kids can get over things so much quicker! I think your gentle walk idea was a winner. Feel better soon!

 

[DisnyMama]

Hi Tracy, Sorry to hear your not feeling well. It's amazing how the kids bounce back faster than we do. But, I sure give you credit for still wanting to get out there and get a walk in. Good for you. Hey, you never know, it might make you feel a little better (hopefully). I'm sure setting up the vacation made you feel better. That kind of thing always works for me. I wish you all the best. Have a great Day!

Shannon

Thanks Amy and Shannon!

I woke up this morning and I am starting to feel better! I still feel a bit nauseous so I plan to keep on eating bland foods until my tummy is up to some variety.

I weighed in this morning and I'm down 2.4 pounds! I know this may sound silly, but I think I am going to add a weight loss ticker to my signature for motivational purposes. Whatever works, right?

Today's Plan:

* Walk (no 5 Factor this week... I need to get completely better first.)

* Meeting this afternoon

* Homeschool

* Straighten the house up a bit

* Read and relax

It's hard not to get a hundred things done in a day like usual, but I think that sometimes when you're sick, that's a perfect time to rest, relax, and re-charge your batteries so you can heal. The exercise and spring cleaning will be there for me next week too.

Have a great day!
