[Amy&Dan]

Well, you got my hopes up for something exciting with those sore thighs . But I am super proud you went to the gym. Your lunch at your mom's sounds yummy, I miss having good food at my mom's house, enjoy those days!

I think you are doing splendidly getting back on track, I am impressed!

So when's the next trip? I have to check out your trip report for sure!

[Amy&Dan]

Oh Tracey, you sound like me and dh, every time we go for a walk, no matter how nice it is, we think, "this is nice but its not WDW"! I think we have a true addiction!

Love the trip report, you look very fit and trim in that picture!

Glad the teacher is behaving herself and that work is going well, in spite of a challenging group of kids!

 

[keenercam]

Tracey, sweetie, so glad you had such a wonderful time, though sorry DD was sick. Congrats on only gaining 3 pounds!! I expect I'll do that next weekend with just 3 DAYS in Disney. Looks like your transition to school has been very smooth and I am impressed with all your gym time, though I can think of much better ways to build thigh muscles. Actually, I have been doing squats with a weight bar with some weights on it and those are KILLER!!! Hoping it will help my running to improve. So, if you are looking for new stuff to do, squats and lunges are apparently the thing.

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Tracey,

I hear ya about wishing you were back at WDW....We haven't even left for vacation yet and I was just telling DH yesterday how sad I will be to leave for home. One of these days, we'll all just have to move to Florida so we can go to WDW when we want to!

I hope you have a great weekend!

Tracey, love the trip report! Too funny, I just today made reservations for Chefs de France and Crystal Palace! I got an early pre park opening breakfast ressie and I am hoping for cool, uncrowded pics like yours!

You are doing so well. So you ate and drank a bit much one night, no biggie since you got right back on track and to the gym the next day! You can't be perfect all the time (wouldn't that be boring) its how you recover that really counts!

Keep up that great work and the trip reports!

 

[toystoryduo]

You are doing a great job, Tracey!!! Keep up the good work!

Off to read the next installment of your trip report.....Have a great day!

 

[goldcupmom]

I'm loving your TR, Tracey! You did so INCREDIBLE on food & now getting back on track. Wish I had your willpower, determination, or whatever it is right now. I leave & can't get back together again.... (gee, maybe I AM Humpty Dumpty!!)

Hope school ends up being good & that teacher stays pleasant. Not a fun prospect if she turns.

Have a wonderful rest of the week & weekend!

 

[toystoryduo]
