Good morning WISH friends,

I woke up this morning with a feeling of anxiety.... not a bad anxiety, but a good anxiety because tomorrow we are going to Disney World! The weather isn't supposed to be as bad as originally thought so we will keep our departure day on Saturday.

I still have some things that need to get done over the next couple of days, but I am not feeling as stressed as I was. My DH is off tonight so he can help me out!

I'm not sure if I will be able to check in or not while we are on vacation.... I will post a trip report when I get back though! Here is our tenative itinerary:

Sun: Arrive at the house; head to DTD for dinner

Mon: Chill at the house or Typhoon Lagoon if warm enough

Tues: MVMCP

Wed: Shopping

Thurs: Family coming for the weekend/ Shuttle launch?

Fri: Epcot?/ Family visit

Sat: Family visit continues

Sun: Beach Club!!!!

Mon: ?

Tues: ?

Wed:?

Thurs: Epcot

Fri: Leave for Ohio

As you can see, there is a lot of downtime here and question marks as to what we are doing. We are not going to be theme park commandos this trip. We are going to relax, take it easy, enjoy time with our family, and see what we want to do each day. I am looking forward to it!

I did weigh-in this morning and do my measurements...... I weighed in at 201.8 (lost almost 9 pounds) and I have lost 10 inches total since August 30!

I will miss you all over the next two weeks. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and my prayers. Goodbyes are hard so I will say:

"See ya real soon!"

 

[kimwim8]

WOW Tracy!! You've done AWESOME!! Congrats on both of your losses (weight and inches!)

Have a GREAT trip! I am SO jealous that you have almost 2 weeks there!!! I definitely want to read a trip report and see some pics!!

We'll miss you around here! You're a great source of inspiration and encouragement for a lot of us!

Jen, Amy, Kim, Tracey, Anna, Amy, and Scott~ Thank you for your kind words and well wishes for our vacation. You guys are the BEST!

Well, I am wrapping things up here at home... Laundry is almost finished, packing is 95% finished, and we are almost ready to go. My DH has three work orders that he has to complete today, he'll come home, we'll run a couple of errands, and then we are off!

I just want to thank you all so very much for all of your love, encouragement, and support. You have helped me through what has been a very difficult year and for that, I am extremely grateful and thankful for each and every one of you. I am so blessed!

Tracy -- I am sorry I didn't get to say "goodbye" before you left. I hope you have a fabulous, relaxing time! I don't know how we will all survive without the : and that you bring to these boards. Know that you will be missed and that I send my best wishes for you and DH and your family.

 

[CACruisin']

Tracy, I am sure you are having a wonderful, relaxing time right about now!! Have a great trip!

 

[CJK]

I'm also sorry that I missed you before you left. I hope you're having a WONDERFUL time right now enjoying the warmth and all that WDW has to offer!! Congrats on your weight and inches lost!! When you see results like that, you just can't help but feel proud! Way to go!!! I look forward to reading your trip report!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, you are in WDW right now, hopefully having a fabulous time! I know you are. You had better be eating the Mickey Bars up so I can't find any when I get there. This has been a tough year for you. But you have come so far, stayed with a plan, exercised like a marine in boot camp and survived it all! We will miss you while you are gone but know you are having a much needed break from the real world! Thank you for all you do and all the kindess you spread around here on the WISH!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Wow I just scrolled back a bit further (I have been gone so long due to my dog and computer woes) and CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT WEIGHT AND INCHES LOSS!!! You literally worked your butt off girl!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Tracy-i hope you are having a great time!

 

[R_Judy]

Hiya Tracy,
Long time no see. Congrats on your continuing weight loss. I am back to square one and starting over. Check out my journal to see where I have been for the last 16 months. I'll stop by again soon.

Good morning friends!

We are back! We had the most wonderful time in Florida! It was a very different vacation for us because we were only in the parks two days.... We spent most of our time relaxing (which was hard to do at first) and just playing the vacation by ear.

I will try and do a trip report at some point, but here are the highlights of our trip:

* MVMCP

* Epcot

* Beach Club!

* House

* Shuttle Launch (saw it from the house)

* Jr Chef program @ Epcot

* Nighttime entertainment @ the Boardwalk (DDs were both chosen to participate.)

* Visiting family

* The Kitchen Sink @ Beaches and Cream

* The view of Epcot and Illuminations from BCV!

* Meeting Art the Greeter at BCV again!

* Wearing my Ohio State t-shirt in Gator country

* the Disney CMs were wonderful!

* Booking my next vacation while still at WDW!

We had a wonderful time! None of us wanted to come home!

On a more serious note.... While we were in Florida, my uncle Danny died of a massive heart attack. He was 58 years old and had been in poor health for the past couple of years. We are having a memorial for him here in Ohio at the end of December. Please keep my aunt and his children in your thoughts and prayers.

I will try and get to journals this week and to start working on my trip report... The trip report may be kind of boring though because we did a lot of relaxing.

Have a great Sunday!
