Thanks wish friends

Gary being punched by the neighbour was kind of a blessing!! He was VERY nervous about moving but after that happened he couldnt wait to go....so it took a punch in the face to make him want to move!! Everything happens for a reason eh

After the Spag Bol wednesday i ended up eating a whole tub of cheese & chive dip

Last night we went for a curry with work, i had a whole bottle of wine too!!!
My stomach still feels bloated & i have the worse hangover, so wont make gym tonight! so not been since sunday
On the good side i have managed to walk to work 3 times this week & its a 25 min walk.

BROKE UP FOR WEEKS HOL TODAY

Now for the best bit - i made most of my ADR's

I love calling WDW when the lady said 'thanks for calling WDW dining have a nice day'' i skipped around the house for the rest of the evening

Sorry Tracey, I'm no help with ADR dates. I get so confused!

But wanted to tell you how much we LOVED Teppen Edo and the Ohana breakfast with Lilo & Stitch! You're gonna have a GREAT time! I hope you're planning on writing a trip report. (please please please)

Oh, and I'm completely jealous of your two weeks off!! ENJOY!

 

[traceycooper]

Kim - i'm hoping to do a TR i tried last time & got half way through & never finished it!!! I didnt even get to my wedding!! but i'll do my best

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Tracey,

Your ADRs are looking good! We have Le Cellier and Boma on our list for September and Sci-Fi on our list for December. Have you ever tried Chef Mickey's for dinner before? It is so yummy! Oh and when you go to Beaches and Cream and if you love dessert, be sure and get a Kitchen Sink.

Hope you have a great weekend!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Okay Tracey admit it, you paid the neighbor to punch Gary in the face and thereby having him embrace the move! Men often need a good swift kick or punch to make them see the light of day

Well at least you had some fun this week, your cheese and chive dip sounds very tasty. And wine is good for the heart so there you go! Just get back on track, maybe over your holiday you can make it to the gym during the day.

I have been to Marakesh and Tony's. Tony's gets a bad rap but we enjoyed it. Try the pistachio creme brulee! I loved Marrakesh and I can still see my then 80 year old stepdad enjoying the belly dancer! Your meals sound very fun, the planning of WDW trips is what makes us all happy I think!

Have a great weekend.

Hey Tracey,

The cheese and chive dip provided you with plenty of calcium. I can find a reason to justify just about everything.

Your ADRs look awesome. I will admit to being jealous.

Have fun planning.
Beth

Hey Tracey,
Oh and when you go to Beaches and Cream and if you love dessert, be sure and get a Kitchen Sink.

Hi Tracy - thats why were going to beaches & cream saw a video on youtube & that did it for me!!

Beth - i did have flaxseed & soya tortilla's with the dip too i dont feel so bad now...until i tell you about last night...

Amy - Lady & tramp is my fav movie (along with little mermaid) & i always wanted to go to Tony's but the reviews put me off, now i've been a few times & know more where i want to eat i'm giving it a go, we've timed it for the afternoon parade too - reservation at 2.30pm

OK Fridays food:

Its a beautiful day!!!
DD & i are going into the city to shop, so might burn a few cals there!
Our 'NEW' neighbours might come too they have a DD slightly younger than my DD & they hang out together, we've been over a couple of times for a drink & we're going out with them tonight to our 'NEW' local pub ... which has now turned into my 2nd home!!! Their Sunday dinner carvery is to die for, we have never ate out so much since we moved!!

Hope everyone has a grreat weekend

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Tracey,

You'll have to let me know how you like the Kitchen Sink. It is soooo good and I don't even have a sweet tooth. Yummy!

Hope you have a great Saturday!

 

[lovinaz]

That's great that your DD has a new friend at the house. It makes the transition so much easier! Maybe after you've been there for a while the "thrill" of the new pub will wear off and you won't be tempted to go as much?

I will be headed your way in a couple weeks, but only for a short trip (3-7 Mar). One of these days maybe we can meet up in London or something!

Hang in there, I think once school starts back up you will be able to get into a good routine.

 

[traceycooper]

computer is still being a pain it keeps dieing on me....as i tryped that it froze so i had to start again!!! arghhhhh

Saturday was fun, went shopping with DD, bought her a top & new school bag she wanted (an expensive school bag that all the kids have!!) bought myself a skirt that was reduced from £40 to £12 & it was the same size as my pre weight gain clothes so that was good enough reason to buy it for me!!!
food
b/fast - cereal
lunch - 4 crispbreads, a few of DD's fries in town
dinner - pasta

We went to the 'new local' to watch a band who were quite good, had 1 diet coke & 2 half pints of cider.
Not a bad food/drink day really

Sunday went to gym
Had a really good workout too, my calves didnt lock up on the TM so i had a really enjoyable run
Burnt about 700 cals - not done that in a while!!
b/fast - cereal
lunch - chk, baked potato & coleslaw
dinner - 5 crispbreads, yogurt & a few pieces of chocolate

Monday so far:
workmen came to plant 2 silver birch trees in our garden so stood talking to them for ages...in my pj's & dressing gown!!!
The weather has been gorgeous all weekend & today - blue sky & sunshine, quite warm about high 50's but its dropping to -3 at night. Hoping to drag DD out for a walk after lunch!!
Kinda ache from gym but its a nice feel like i've done something ache - if you know what i mean!!!
better get this posted before computer plays up again!!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Way to go on getting to the gym, Tracey! I'm sending some healing your way for the soreness. Hope you're feeling better soon!

 

[toystoryduo]

I forgot to add.... I'm not sure if you can substitute ice cream flavors on the Kitchen Sink or not. You probably can, but I'm not sure. When we ordered it, my DH ate the ice cream that I didn't like. Maybe try posting a question about it on the restaurant board and see if anyone has been able to substitute flavors.

 

[CACruisin']

Look at you getting back on track!!

The new place/neighborhood sound great and I'm glad DH is happy too. That is awesome that you can walk to school - you go girl!

WDW is definitely a good incentive to stay on track. Your ADR's sound really good. We loved Boma especially.

Welcome back WISH sis - I've missed you!

 

[traceycooper]

Yay Tracey, you are back on track! Sounds like dd is really adjusting well to the move, that is so great. Keep that up going to the gym, that is great you got a skirt so cheap in that size! Have fun with your granddad, you are so lucky to have him still!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hey Tracey,

Way to go on that workout. I don't think I could have passed up on that dessert either. Enjoy your dinner with your granddad tomorrow.

Take care,
Beth

Great job getting your workouts in, Tracey! Keep up the good work!

 

[keenercam]

Oh, Tracey! How wonderful it must have made you feel when Gary said he loves your new home! How do the trees look? Now, as to the exercise, great job!! Just step away from the dip!
