Toystoryduo’s Journal: Baby Steps are the Key... Celebrate Each Victory!

[AuroraluvsPhillip]

Hi Tracy,

I hope you get last minute high bids on your e-bay items! More $ for WDW! I love seeing your to-do lists in your journal. I need to do that more...I find I get more accomplished and forget things less when I do.

Congrats on the weight loss too! I need to focus more on my food choices if I want to get to my goal weight. I think when I feel like eating, I will drink some water instead..that way, I will know if I'm really hungry or just grabbing something to stick in my mouth!

Have a great day!
Jean

Thanks everyone!

Today has been a very non-productive day.... I did manage to get to the store and get signs for the garage sale, but that's it. My DH says I work better under pressure so I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow since it's the day before the garage sale.

I'm starting not to feel well again. I have no idea what is going on. Maybe too much food this weekend? I don't know. All I know is that I haven't been feeling well again today. Maybe my body realizes that tomorrow is weigh-in and that's why I feel sick.

I'm going to try and get to journals today. I've tried a couple of times, but the server is too busy message keeps coming up. Have a good evening!

P.S. My eBay auction is up to $102!!! I thought it ended today, but it actually ends tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. Here's hoping for lots more bids and sunshine and buying customers for the garage sale!

Busy as usual, I see!

Hope you start feeling better.

Glad about the auction - What are you selling?? (PM me - I'm always curious & happy when something goes well!)

Yes, I"m having a GSale Fri/Sat & then next Saturday when it's a neighborhood sale. I'm a big procrastinator, tho & am likely to be up at 3 a.m. getting ready for this!

Have a great rest of the week & take care of you!!

Glad to hear the ebay auction is going well and I hope the garage sale goes well for you too! Here's some for you for the next few days.

Bummer you are feeling bad again. Take it easy and maybe try some yogurt to easy your system back to normal?

Thanks for stopping by my journal.

Hope the garage sale & ebay auction goes well
Hope you feel better soon.

I'm embarrassed to post this morning...

I weighed in this morning and I am up 3 pounds from last week! I know that I was sick the past two weigh-ins and that I did eat quite a bit over the weekend, but 3 pounds?!?!? I'm so embarrassed...

I did get my walk in this morning. Whew! It is hot and humid out there! I was hoping to sweat some of the extra weight off.

Next week, I hope to add 5 factor back into my workouts. I miss the weights and cardio.

My eBay auction is up to $105 with 4 hours to go!!!! Woohoo!

Today will be catching up on laundry and garage sale prep. day. Please send prayers and for good weather tomorrow and Friday.

Have a great Wednesday!

 

[goldcupmom]

That 3 lbs will come off soon! Don't sweat it!

Hope the GSale goes well! Mine is Fri/Sat & I'm SO NOT READY!!!

 

[CACruisin']

Your body is just adjusting after being so sick. The 3lbs will come back off.

Good Luck with your garage sale and here's that the weather is great for you.

 

[ScoJo15]

You'll lose the 3 pounds right back...scales are so unpredictable sometimes, just chalk it up to a bad scale day.

Hope your ebay auction closed well and good luck with the garage sale this weekend!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy,
I know its easier said than done, but don't worry about those three pounds! Its just as everyone else said, your body is adjusting after being sick. They'll come off in a jiffy but I understand its such bummer when it happens. And it happens to all of us! And don't be embarrassed to post that, heck I can gain three pounds in one afternoon! I hope the weather is great, sending a little prayer your way! Keep up your good work, you are doing so well!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks everyone.

Just a quick post... lots to do today. The weather is not cooperating for us here in Ohio. It rained for awhile yesterday and it is supposed to rain most of today. I think I am going to open the garage sale anyhow and see what happens. I will be home anyhow.

Yesterday, we found out that the one house my DH has been working on for 3+ months is not going to close. The buyer (after 3 months) did not qualify for the loan. We are very upset about this because the people my DH worked with were dishonest about the whole thing. So, it's back to the drawing board today.

The other house DH has been working on has some issues.... Please pray that God would intervene and bless this transaction and allow it to go through with no further complications. My DH needs this boost and we need to come up with Plan B.

I have lots to do today and family is coming in from Florida this evening. Tomorrow is my other cousin's wedding and my favorite community wide garage sale. Sunday, my DH works all day and the girls and I may join him at work. I will try and get to journals sometime this weekend.

Thanks for your encouragement and support!

~Tracy

P.S. My eBay items sold for $115!

 

[CACruisin']

for your ebay auction! Good Luck with the garage sale. Who knows, maybe you'll get a break in the weather.

So sorry about DH and the house. for DH and your family. What's the saying? When a door closes, a window opens. You'll find a good Plan B.

You have a busy weekend. Enjoy your family and take of yourself!

Hey Toy,

Long time, no me!

Well, just to let you know, I went on a wild experience. After losing down and getting my 70 lb. clippie, I fell off the wagon and gained....28 lbs in 2 months. It takes some major eating to do that, and boy did I. I alone, raised the Kentucky Fried Chicken stock price $1. I vowed that I would not post on here again, until I was at the 70 lb. clippie, so, today is the day!

Anyway, just wanted to let you know I am back and I missed you guys!

Later,

Dax

Tracy-i posted on your other journal, but wanted to stop by and say hi--enjoy your weekend!

 

[toystoryduo]

Welcome Back Dax!

We made our goal of $200 + for eBay and the garage sale this week. Unfortunately, it looks like the money will be going to bills instead of Disney. That's okay. At least we made our goal!

It looks like we will be taking this computer back to Best Buy again... I heard a loud pop from the monitor this morning and it shut off. I am not taking any chances. We are taking the unit(s) back tomorrow. I'm not happy about it.

Today, we are going to a community sale in the morning (100+ garage sales) and we are going to my cousin's wedding reception this afternoon.

I will try and get to more journals tomorrow. It all depends on this computer.

Have a great weekend!

 

[CACruisin']

Sorry about the computer

Have a great weekend and congrats on making your goal for ebay and garage sale!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy,
Congrats on making your ebay goal! Sorry about the computer mess and the house not closing for your husband. I know everything will work out and will say a little prayer for your family! I hope you have a great weekend!

 

[toystoryduo]

Good morning,

Yesterday was a great day! We went to the garage sales and found a new pair of shoes (Skechers) for my DH for $15 and a tv for our bedroom for $10. We also got a WDW for Kids book for .50 and a Disney Toddler Learning CD Rom for $1.00. What did we get for eBay? Nothing.

We also had my cousin's wedding reception to go to and it went very well. It was at my grandma's house and included family and a few close friends. My cousin (who has had a very rough life) came up to me yesterday and said, " Tracy, I am happy. Really, really happy." And she was. It is great to see her so happy.

Today, we will be taking the computer back to the store, going to the Disney Store, and getting ready for the week ahead. Prayers and for DH's work are much appreciated!

Finally, I joined the June Exercise Challenge and my goal for the month will be 1000 minutes. I'm finally to the point where I am missing consistent exercise and am looking forward to getting back into the groove.

Have a great Sunday!

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad the weekend's going well for you. Are you as glad the garage sale is over as I am????

Hope next week brings good news for your DH. Hang in there!

 

[AmyBeth68]

And sending some of that pixie dust for your DH and his job. I sure hope it works out okay .
