Wow, what a hectic week! Hopefully the teacher will come back next week and things will calm down for you!

Don't worry, I'll still be poking around your journal, just not keeping up with mine... I just made my flight reservations, I will be in the UK from May 14-23, then I go straight to Germany May 23-June 1. I'm definitely not looking forward to being away from my family for 3 weeks. But I will be in the UK over a weekend, maybe we can arrange a meeting! I'll PM you when it gets closer to see if we can work something out.

You are doing great with your working out and your food looks good too (well, minus the pie and the chocolate!), keep it up!

DH & i went to see the movie '300' today, whoooo lots of men in leather underpants, knees hi boots & a cape & all with amazing bodies!!!
That kinda thing doesnt usually do anything for me, but for some reason this movie did!!
The best line was when after a battle, a warrior had lost an eye & was tying a bandage around it, & the king says 'hows that scratch?' & the warrior answers 'i'm ok its only an eye' tough guys or what

Dh said my bum looked loads better since i've been working out!!!!

See Tracey.... That bums and tums class that you take really works! What a great compliment from your DH.

My DH wants to see 300 too.... I'm glad you *ahem* (cough, cough) liked it!

Have a great week, WISH sis!

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad you got some 'fireplace' time! I assume with Gary, right????

DS17 went to see 300 - I don't usually like that type of movie, but DD & I may have to rent it when it comes out!

Hope your weather improves soon!

That teacher had better be back this week! You need the BREAK!!!

Have a good week!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, you have been really busy! Sounds like you are doing well handling all the stress and I am glad you got a good bum report! I don't think I have allowed my dh to look at my bum in about a decade so I am doubly impressed ! Hope he didn't have to grit, at least the end of this winter crud is near right? Thanks for always supporting my journal, sorry I have been MIA from yours for several days! Lets have a great week!

 

[CACruisin']

Just catching up... Congrats on booking your WDW vacation! the planning is definitely a part of the fun for me too . We stayed one night at POP and I can definitely recommend it. Fun themeing and nice room. Good bus service too. We didn't have enough time there to try a poolside mai tai, but ANY mai tai is good in my book .

You are doing great with your exercise! Nice to see DH notices too. Hopefully Spring will really arrive for you and gritting will be done soon for the season.

Oh, at Epcot I had a Cider & Black one day at lunch and thought of you and your ciders.

Wow Tracey, very good week you are having! Hope you are getting your Easter project figured out. Keep up your good work! I am amazed at how much you go to the gym (and ashamed of my own lousy exercise habits )!

 

[CACruisin']

You are doing great Tracey! Way to go getting to the gym with all the school stuff . What a week with the teacher out and the play. Just keep telling yourself just a few more days and then two weeks off .

Good Luck with the play today and tomorrow!

I HATE projects! That Easter one would have really thrown me for a LOOP! Hope you found one without too much hassle.

AWESOME job with food & getting to the gym.

Friday

Mad Easter fun day at school

afternoon - bring & buy sale!! It was mad!!!!

Went to gym

food:
b/fast - cereal
snack - lots of chips with dip, a handful of choc finger biscuits- teachers b/day!
lunch - chk salad, yogurt - slab of choc cake - parent made it!!
dinner - slice of toast as i went out the door to a make-up party!
At the party - 1 glass of wine, 1 diet coke, 1 pizza slice, 1 choc shortbread, 2 sausage rolls, big handfull of chips (or 2!!), 1 piece of quiche!

Woke up today feeling bloaty & fat!!!


When i went to the gym on wednesday, i asked a trainer about why i hadnt lost any weight after 8 weeks. She looked at my programme as was shocked to see how much i was doing!!! She said she didnt even know the computer could hold that much on 1 programme!!!!
So she gave me a 2nd programme to do once a week that is just cardio. I gave it a go, but one thing was the rower, the last time i used one i ended up in hospital with a suspected blood clot that turned out to be muscular in my shoulder & i always put that down to the rower. But I decided to give it a go....my shoulder has been killing me since....i've decided i dont do rowers!!!

Gotta go, i WILL catch up - now i'm on holiday

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Tracey
