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

[keenercam]

Hi, Tracy! Sorry you are feeling wiped out today. I hope the girls will enjoy some play time together and you will get some quiet time for you. It sounds like your WDW trip plans are coming together nicely. LeCellier is our favorite restaurant and it is always touch and go on whether we can get an ADR so I am glad there is no uncertainty for you.

Take good care of yourself, sweetie! I hope the weather warms up for you and you can get some outdoor walks in.

How are you feeling today Tracy? Sending some energy PD!

Congrats on 330 minutes this month! Keep up with the exercise and hopefully it will help you to feel more energized. I know that when I'm feeling droopy exercise usually invigorates me!!!

Hi tracy -- how are you feeling?

 

[goldcupmom]

Wow, Tracy! That's my kind of shopping. I am always wishing we had a CVS here when I read the deals on line.

Hope you're feeling better. TOM just plain stinks sometimes! (ok, most of the time!!)

PS2 for the girls is a really awesome gift. There are some great games for it & usually at a good price. Do you have the redbox dvd rental vending machines where you live? if so, they rent ps2 games & you can get free codes every week (and online more often).

Hope you have a great Friday & the weather improves. It's near perfect here - except for the wind.

Hi Tracy,

Oh I hate that when TOM is about to come and you feel like you ran a marathon! I hope you are feeling better. That is so nice your brother gave the girls a playstation! I can vouch that those really can keep the kiddies occupied! That is awesome you have those exercise minutes in, that must feel so good. Keep up the good work and feel better!

Hey girlie! Sorry to hear you're not feeling too well. Freakin TOM. Who invited him anyway?

Your trip is getting closer!! I seriously want you to plan one for me sometime.

 

[pearlieq]

Bad TOM! I hope you were able to get some rest and you're feeling better now.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks everyone for stopping by! I have more energy today, but TOM is still looming....My cycles are very irregular when I'm not on the pill so sometimes, it can be a guessing game as to when it will show up.

I've got my to do list ready for the weekend. I've got a few things on it and will try to baby step my way through the list.

My niece may be sleeping over our house tonight and the girls are very excited! We have nothing specific planned as of yet, but the High School Musical Dance Along is on tonight so I am guessing that they'll want to watch that.

Today's Plan:

* Finish cleaning

* Call Disney and make a payment on our Sept. trip!

* Errands

* Strength workout

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Hi Tracy
have a great weekend
never mind the kids i would wanna watch the HSM dance along

 

[toystoryduo]

I'm super excited!!!!

We got a letter in the mail a few days ago about a special promotion that the local gym was having for new members. So, today we decided to go check the gym out. It is wonderful and very affordable!!! Plus, it has childcare for the girls too so my DH and I can workout together like we used to before kids. We're hoping to go sign the membership papers in a little while. Just had to share the good news!

P.S. Tracey~ I told my DDs that since I would be working out at the gym now, I need to get the Disney Dance Party CD for my workouts. Maybe I'll get HSM too!

 

[toystoryduo]

I'm pretty excited about the gym. After I graduated high school, my DH (my DB back then ) asked if I wanted to get a membership to his gym. I gave it a try and I loved it! I worked out there through college, but once I got a job teaching, I stopped going and that's when the weight gain started. During our tour of the gym yesterday, I just wanted to hop on the machines and start working out again right then and there. Since the price was so good for both of us and because they have childcare, we decided to go for it. Another plus is that it is right around the corner from our house. We can walk there in about 10 minutes. Our first workout will be on Monday and on Tuesday, we have an appointment for a body composition evaluation, an age test, and a metabolic thingamabob. (Tells you how many calories you need a day to lose or maintain weight.)

My to do list for the weekend has shrunk considerably. I got a lot done yesterday. I really need to work on taxes today and tomorrow so we can get them filed.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[traceycooper]

thats great news Tracy
& you've got DH to workout with
i'm liking the sound of the Disney dance party CD - i will have to look out for that

 

[pearlieq]

What an awesome find with the gym! It's great that it's so close and that you and DH will be able to work out together. It's a great couple activity.

I hope your weekend has been going well.

Hi Tracy,

Congrats on the new gym membership. The gym is the very best money spent in my opinion. The fact that they have child care is awesome. You will definately reach your goals now.

Tkae care,
Beth

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies!

I love the new gym! My DH and I did 10 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the ellipticals, followed by a 30 minute upper body workout with weights. It felt great! (Remind me I said that after I wake up with sore muscles tomorrow morning. ) Tomorrow, we have our body composition and fitness evaluations. I'm very nervous about that!

I'm almost done with laundry and we finished homeschooling early so the girls could enjoy the 60 degree weather.

Hope everyone has a great evening!

 

[postesf]

A new gym! That is very exciting!!! It's great it has childcare and so close your home! To be able to walk would be nice!

Keep up the great work!!!
Stacie

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, congratulations on joining the gym! I think that is great and having the childcare is huge. I know now that my kids are old enough to stay home or come to the rec center and swim its so much easier. Its just hard to work out at home when the kids keep coming in with "what are you doing?"!! Now you can put the girls in the kids area, they'll have fun and you and your dh can work out. Thats great you can walk there on the days he has the car. What a win/win situation!

Glad it was sixty there today, we had snow!

Don't worry about the body compostition thing, they see all shapes and sizes and its about helping you be successful!

 

[Caitsmama]

Tracey, congrats on the new gym!!! How did your analysis go?!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Tracy
hope your enjoying the workouts
hope the evaluations went well!

 

[goldcupmom]

Congrats on the gym!! What a great deal for you!!

It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who is still working on taxes. UGH!!!!

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow. How did the body testing stuff go?
