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

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy, I am so sorry you are sick! I hope the antibiotics do the trick very quickly. I will keep dh in my prayers. I told my hubby just last night too bad he can't harness some of that happy energy he feels in WDW here at home iwth his stressful life/job. God may very well lead you to Florida, maybe he will lead my family there too once my mom is at peace and I can go do something different. Who knows? I just hope that this year is a great one for you and your dh, you both deserve it! Your weight loss goal is doable and I know you will get there! I too have not been in onderland (I love that) in awhile (7 years for me). Lets get there and stay there together okay!

Dont worry about journals we understand
Take care of yourself

I'm so sorry to hear about the sinus infection! I hope it clears up soon.

I think your list of goals for the new year is wonderful! I think you've picked good, acheiveable goals that will really improve your quality of life. Kudos to you!

I'm sending you lots of to help you on your way!

Oh Tracy, sinus infections really stink!! Can you take tylenol or advil along with the antibiotic to help with the pain?

I'll keep your family in my prayers so that God can help your DH's job situation.

Keep your chin up and get some rest!

Thanks everyone!

Good evening friends,
Today has been a long day. I had my appt. with the ob/gyn this morning. On his scale, I weighed 196 pounds! I like his scale better since mine says 208. I was shocked to see that number.

As for the sinus infection..... Ugh! This one is a doozy! Sometimes I feel okay and sometimes I feel like smashing my head into a wall would be less painful. I hope the antibiotics work quickly....

I didn't get to laundry today, but I did pull some quotes for clients and I will get homeschooling in as well. Oh, I also walked 1.54 miles too.

I would appreciate your good thoughts/prayers for my DH and I..... Our kids have been having some issues with talking back to us and meanness towards each other. We talk to them about but it doesn't seem to be working right now. Thanks!

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow! TGIF!

Good morning, Tracy. I thought I'd visit you over here today.

I loved your scale story--what a great way to lose 12 lbs!! Next time I'm at the drs. office, I just might let them weigh me! (I always think once a year on their scale is enough. )

Your kids are just getting to "that age," Tracy. It's one of those times when they test the boundaries. . .as long as you and DH are consistent with your disclipine and expectations, they'll catch on. You might have to teach them 6 million times, but they'll get it!

Have a good Friday, OK?

Love,
Erin

Okay, give me the name of that doctor, I am coming to Ohio to weigh on his scale! Who knew the gynecologist could be so fun? As for your kids, here's what dh and I did once that was kinda funny and worked for a short time. We were in the car and I told him before we left when the kids started in, he and I would start up too. So off we went, the nastiness between sibs started and suddenly I screamed at dh: "Stop looking at me, you touched me" Then he came back with more childish things and I even pinched him so he screamed really loud. I have never seen two more speechless kids in my life. I told them, how does that feel to see and hear? Well it worked for a couple of weeks at least! I still laugh when I think about the look on their faces! I have to say also when we spend time with certain family members who argue constantly that also works to keep my kids nice since they hear for themselves how awful hatefulness is. Mostly, I guess its a part of life. My mom used to say she was glad to see it with her grandkids to pay us back for our constant arguing! Just stand firm, they are just at that age unfortuantely.

I hope you sinus infection clears up very quickly. Good job with working out even when you are sick, that is some serious determination! Feel better very soon!

 

[goldcupmom]

Tracy, take that weight loss any way you can get it! If it was one of the bar scales, it is likely correct!! If not, oh well, it's official if it's at the Drs. office!!

Hope you're feeling better - Sinus infections are the PITS!!

Try to rest & have a good weekend. Many prayers being said for your DH situation. Something good will happen, in God's time!

Hi Tracy,

Hope you are feeling better today.

You have some great plans for the new year, and I'm praying that things go well for you and your family.

My DH worked 3rd shift for years, when our kids were very little, and it worked out well for us. If you want, PM me for some ideas.

Have a good week!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Tracy
Maybe the docs scales are right & yours are wrong!!!!
Are you feeling any better? hope so
Take care of your self

I hope you're feeling better now!! Sinus infections can be so debilitating!

I agree with the others.......I wanna go weigh myself at your doctor's office too!!!! Hopefully the doctor's office scale was correct and you're now out of the 2's!

Keep up the good work. I'm impressed that you went for your walk even when not feeling well. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Tracy, I hope you are feeling better and that this weekend is a great one for you!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Tracy! Hope you're feeling better by now. Those sinus infections stink.

Sorry about the kids. I know it's frustrating even when you're feeling ok. Hopefully they'll snap out of it soon. My kids have been crazy wound up all weekend and I have no idea why.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hi Tracy-
I hope you are feeling better!! Sinus infections are no fun!
And dont you love when the doctor scales are better than home!? My doctor's scales are always worse!!

hope you are having a great day!

 

[CACruisin']

Tracy, I hope you are feeling better and getting some nice family time this weekend. Sinus Infections are the worst!

Have a great week!

 

[toystoryduo]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much WISH friends for your get well wishes and support. It was so nice to check in my journal today and find so much encouragement here. Thank you so much!

I am feeling somewhat better.... The problem is that the severe headache/pressure and nausea comes and goes.... We went with my DH on a job on Friday and I got sick in the van. We were about an hour and a half away from home and I barely made it home for round 2. Since, I haven't been feeling well, we stayed home all weekend, except for church and really have done nothing. The house is a disaster so I will need to get it back into shape next week.... If I am feeling better.

I did manage a moderate cardio workout today.... Crunch Tae Bo with Billy Blanks.... I was hoping to sweat some of the yuckies out. Now, I am tired, but feeling a little better.

This week, I will be homeschooling, cleaning the house, and getting back to exercise.... Not much more than that. I will probably work on some planning as well, but I can do that sitting down.

Again, thanks everyone who stopped by for your get well wishes and good thoughts. I appreciate you all so much!

Have a great week!

 

[goldcupmom]

I hope you're on the mend, Tracy! Sick is NO FUN!!! Take it easy this week. A hundred years from now, no one will really care if your house was clean, but your grandkids & great grand kids will remember stories of how fun you were! Enjoy them!!

Have a great week!

 

[CACruisin']

Sorry you are still feeling under the weather. Please take it easy and let your body get better. Drinking lots and lots of water also helps me with my sinus infections. As Julie said, years from now no one will remember if the house is clean (with the possible exception of my MIL - sorry, couldn't help throwing that in).

So will feel better soon! As you are always telling everyone else, make sure to make time for you! Take care!

As Julie said, years from now no one will remember if the house is clean (with the possible exception of my MIL - sorry, couldn't help throwing that in).

That is too funny, Anna! Thanks for the laugh this morning!

Good morning WISH friends,

Woke up and still not feeling well.... My stomach is upset and my head hurts..... Is this normal for a sinus infection? I haven't had one in years and I can't remember how long it took to heal. I do have to say though that this on again/off again being sick thing is no fun. I want my energy back!

My plan for today is to go with the flow..... I will try and get a few things done, but if I start feeling worse, I may just chill for the day.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!
