Toystoryduo's Journal....Moving Forward From Here

Tracy,

I am so sorry you are still not feeling well. This has been a long haul for you sweetie!:hug:

Take it easy and just rest and get better.:wizard:
 
Tracy -- I am sorry you still aren't feeling 100%. I am so impressed that you lost, even though you haven't been feeling well. Give yourself credit! :hug: So glad you loved TS3. We did too and DS17 and DD22 and DH all cried; I sobbed. LOL! Congratulations on making SR super member. I am so happy for you!!! :woohoo: I can never get enough surveys and when I do, they take so darn much time for like 80 cents. Makes me a little crazy, but you seem to be the queen of getting it done right!! :thumbsup2

Keep up the great work, Tracy! Your healthy lifestyle efforts will soon catch up with you, for sure!!! :sunny:
 
Thanks ladies. :grouphug:

I'm beginning to wonder if my being sick is stress related. :confused3 My DH picked up some extra work for the next two weeks and that has really thrown me into a tailspin. Just talking to him about the work that we will both need to do is freaking me out. :eek: Life is going to be very out of balance the next few weeks. All I can do is take it day by day I guess. Sigh.

I am almost done with laundry, I spent a few hours doing some research (with no conclusions yet), and I got all 6 surveys today.

I'm going to try and spend some time processing all that needs to be done this week. I need a vacation. :(
 
Tracy
I hope you feel better soon. :hug: Stress, probably right....Deep breaths and take 5 to just relax every once in a while. Easy to say I know...

Loved TS3 also. I wondered when you said, laugh, cry....cry?:confused3 at Toy Story? now I understand. All I can say is WOW....they did a good job with it.

I really come up with some good ideas sometimes, but usually too late. We are driving up to New York in a few days and I just realized that you live in Ohio. Of course I don't know where in Ohio, but I was just like, oh man, we could have driven that way and I might have been able to meet Tracy.:sad2: I am such a goober at times. I already promised DH we could do the drive in two days instead of 2.5 and he has already told his family when to expect us. :headache: and on the way back we have to go another way as we have plans to stop at a couple different places on the way home. Next time, I'll think a little quicker. :thumbsup2

Take care of yourself.....:hug:
 

Tackle the new workload one step at a time like you do everything else. Just make a short priority list that is specific to the work and check it off as you go. Should help relieve the added stress.

Let me know when you take that vacation, I'll go with.:goodvibes
 
Thanks Lisa and Lesli. :grouphug:

Today has been a much calmer day. Not to say that there hasn't been any stress, but we have handled it much better today. :goodvibes

I paid another $25 on our package today...Only $106.60 to go!:banana: I also made our one dining reservation for December @ Sci Fi Dine In Theater.

Not much else going on at the moment....Hope everyone has a great evening!:grouphug:

*****************************************************

Lisa~ Thanks!:hug: We LOVED Toy Story!!! I can't wait to see it again!:banana: That would be great to meet up with you some day!:thumbsup2 Maybe next time you guys go to New York we can work out a quick mini-WISH meet. Hope you have a safe trip!:hug:


Lesli~ Thanks!:hug: We're trying to take our to do lists step by step. It worked today! ;)
 
Glad yesterday was much better. Just remember to breathe during these next few weeks and you can get through this.;)

My DS7 saw Toy Story 3 with friends the other day and he loved it. Can't wait to see it.
 
Tracy -- I know you can handle whatever life throws at you, and hopefully DH's extra work will help with your savings goals. Just taking it hour by hour. You'll do great. Sending you huge hugs!!
 
:woohoo: another payment to Disney :woohoo: Almost done with that one. and I noticed that your SR balance keeps going up also. :banana:

How's it going today? I've been seeing all of the bad weather up that way. Are you all experiencing very much of it? Stay safe.:hug:
 
Thanks Lesli, Cam, and Lisa!:grouphug:

Today has been a very stressful and chaotic day. :( The person who is my DH's main contact for the extra jobs that he has picked up has been sick the past couple of days and has not been at work. No one else seems to know what is going on so my poor DH has had to muddle through everything. What was supposed to take 4 hours today ended up taking 8. :sad2: Tomorrow's schedule is up in the air at the moment and that causes even more stress. UGH. :(

Highlights of the day:
* Got all 6 surveys at SR
* Got a great workout in
* Made homemade mac and cheese from the $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook and it was delicious!!! (and under $5!:lmao: )
* Ordered a $25 Outback Gift Card for $23 @ SR for December trip

I am hoping to take a walk before the second round of storms hit this evening. That usually helps me relax and put things in perspective.

Have a nice evening!:grouphug:

*****************************************************

Lesli~ Thanks! :hug: I have been doing a lot of deep breathing today to calm my nerves. ;)

Cam~ Thank you so much for your words of encouragement!:hug: I needed those today!:goodvibes

Lisa~ Thanks! :hug: The first set of storms missed us by a couple of miles today, but there is a second set that look like they are headed straight for us. On top of all of this, we had an earthquake today!:eek: Actually, I think the earthquake was in Canada, but we felt it all the way here in the Cleveland area. :eek:
 
Hope you managed to get your walk in. Sending :wizard::wizard: that things will calm down a bit for you really soon.
 
Tracy,

I am so sorry things are stressful and that your dh had that going on at work. Just hang in there. Great job getting more paid off on your package and getting all those surveys done! You put me to shame.;)

Hope things calm down a bit.

If you only do one ADR, Sci Fi is a good one! Its our most favorite but somehow we have missed it the last two trips which makes me sad.
 
Hi, Tracy!! Just wanted to pop in real quick to WISH you a happy Friday and a fabulous weekend! :hug:
 
Happy Friday!:banana:

We have such a very busy weekend ahead of us! :faint: Musical practice, musical (x2), work for DH, DH's works, DH deejays, shopping for groceries and baby shower gifts, a baby shower, cutting grass, e.t.c. I think we will need a weekend from our weekend! LOL!:rotfl:

I weighed in this morning and showed a .4 loss. I am getting very frustrated! I've been eating right and working out for two weeks now and I am only showing a 1 pound loss. :sad2: What is up with that?!??!:mad: It is very discouraging to be doing the right things and not have the results reflect that on the scale. :(

Well, that's about all from here. Hope everyone has a nice Friday!:hug:
 
Tracy, that is frustrating, but if you just hang in there, that scale is going to go down a bunch! I don't know about your neck of the woods, but here its HOT. That can make you retain water. Just keep doing what you have been and the scale will show a nice, substantial loss very soon.

In the meantime, feel free to throw the scale out the window, it deserves it!

I hope your busy weekend is going well and that you get some time to relax. I am seeing Toy Story tomorrow and I'll think about you and Cam since we are all TS fans to the max!
 
Tracy
You are doing awesome with SR. :woohoo:

You are so busy I don't see how you keep everything straight. You are right about walking though, relaxes you and lots of time to think.

I heard about the earthquake, but didn't realize it made it over to you. DH's aunt called from NY to tell me about it. Is everything okay around you all?

As for not losing much weight, I wonder if you are building muscle. That is what happened to me, especially with all the walking, I really built up my leg muscles.

I hope you all had a great weekend. Can't wait to hear about it.
 
Tracy, I'll be happy to have a scale bashing party with you. I'm about done with mine, too!

Your SR balance is AWESOME this month! I keep checking to see if you are still on top!

Have a great day! You're doing wonderful despite what the stupid scale says!
 
Tracy -- Don't worry about the scale as long as you are feeling healthy with the choices you are making. I'm with Julie -- we should all have a scale bashing party!
 
Hi Tracy, hope your week is going well!

That is quite the SR balance you have going, I am seriously impressed!!:thumbsup2:cool1:
 
Thanks ladies. :grouphug:

The past couple of days have been rough. :( The next few days will be rough. Our schedule is so busy for the next few days, I just want to cry. Which I have done. Several times in the past few days. Sigh. It will get better. We just have to take things day by day.

Tonight's Plan:
* Work for DH
* Workout
* Dinner

Hope everyone has a nice evening!:grouphug:

*****************************************************

Amy~ I'd love to have a scale bashing party! How about in WDW?:banana:

Lisa~ We're all fine after the earthquake. Thanks for asking!:hug: I guess that the people in downtown Cleveland had to be evacuated from some of the buildings because they were swaying a bit and making everyone nervous.:eek:

Julie~ Thanks! It has been a lot of work to get that SR balance that high! ::yes:: I probably won't come close to repeating that next month!:laughing:

Cam- Thanks! I'm all for a scale bashing party!!! I say we have it at Epcot near the Grey Goose slushie place in France!:drinking1
