MY TICKETS HAVE COME :cool1:

sorry i've been MIA lots of last minute stuff at work - kids broke up early due to strike action & everything went crazy!!!

WI - no change
been going to the gym regular
food good, had a few 'treats' though, so just gotta watch myself!!!!

I cant believe how quickly the last few weeks have flown by, i cant believe i'm going to WDW in 2 weeks :banana:

Told DH we have to make the most of every minute what with fuel prices so high we dont know when we will be able to afford to return

I'VE FINISHED WORK FOR 6 WEEKS AS OF TODAY :cool1:

i've not been journaling food & exercise & its starting to show!!
exercise is going great, but i've had a few ''naughties'' in the food department...for example, i had 6 boxes of chocolates as presents from some of the kids in my class!! ate a whole tray last night :eek:

I felt aweful afterwards!! BUT to try & compensate i walked to work & turned down the fish & chips the headteacher bought everyone (had a sandwich & yogurt!)
THE SUN IS FINALLY SHINING - I BREAK UP FROM WORK & THE SUN COMES OUT :goodvibes

FINALLY got pics of decking area DH worked so hard on - these pics show where i will be for the rest of the week - as they've forcast the sun till friday

Woohoo!!!!! Vacation time is here! :woohoo:

The deck and backyard look wonderful, Tracey! :thumbsup2

You and Gary did a great job! :goodvibes

Have a great evening! :hug:

Amy&Dan · Jul 22, 2008

Tracey I loved the pictures of your deck and you. They are both beautiful! Tell Gary he can come to Colorado and do some work around my yard anytime he wants.

Six Weeks Off, Woo Hoo! :cool1:

And a trip to WDW just around the corner. Can life get any better? You deserve all the fun and relaxation this six weeks will surely bring, so enjoy!

One tray of chocolates isn't a deal breaker. I would have ate the whole box and then some!

traceycooper · Jul 23, 2008

I just keep staring at my countdown ticker!!!
i cant believe its that close!!
:cool1:

Went for my last WI with nurse before the trip - no change on the scale

BUT she said because i had quite a big loss 2 weeks ago sometimes your body needs time to adjust & settle.
good news - waist measurements down another 1 inch :banana:

tried some bikinis & costumes on today - not too scary, but that was before i ate anything!!!

gonna sort toiletries out later.

this sunny weather they forcast is c$!p - its warm but really cloudy - i'm talking grey cloud here too!!!
I really want it to warm up so i can at least try to climatise ready for the Florida heat!! suppose i could go on a sunbed!!

I keep checking out the hurricane centre's website!! Theres something forming way out that IF headed towards Florida would - knowing my luck - just proberbly hit Florida when we fly out

I'm guessing here - but i just want to get their on time - no delays or cancelations :eek:

everybody keeps telling me theres nothing i can do so why keep looking BUT i cant help it!!

off to look for a break in the cloud!!!

keenercam · Jul 23, 2008

Tracey - The pictures are great! Your backyard is beautiful and the deck is very impressive! :thumbsup2

Kudos to Gary for such an impressive result. Love the picture of your kitty! :cat:

You look fabulous, sweetie! Look at how strong and shapely your legs are! :woohoo:

Enjoy your time off and I will be thinking of you and wishing for :sunny:

skies for your time in Florida.

toystoryduo · Jul 23, 2008

Hey Tracey,

I hope the sun comes out your way soon! :sunny:

Also sending :wizard:

for the weather in Florida as well.

Hope you have a great Wednesday! :hug:

Amy&Dan · Jul 24, 2008

Tracey, no wonder you can't stop staring at the countdown ticker, your trip is so close how can you not be excited and ready!!!

Don't worry about the hurricane thing. It will all be fine. We actually landed in Orlando during Ernesto and took off as Wilma was coming in and it was fine both times. If they close the airport, they'll reschedule you. And it has to be pretty bad before they do that. Just think postitive!

Hope the sun comes out for you. :beach:

Eeyores Butterfly · Jul 24, 2008

Tracey: Congrats on another inch. That can be just as important as pounds. Hopefully a hurricane won't inerfere with your plans. I was there when Charlie hit (on my CP), and Disney did a great job helping out the guests.

toystoryduo · Jul 25, 2008

Only 10 more days now, Tracey!!!! :yay:

I bet you are getting so excited! Before you know it, you'll be doing the single digit dance and then you'll be in WDW! :banana:

Is it sunny yet? I hope the weather had cleared up for you! :sunny:

Have a great weekend, WISH sis! :hug:

traceycooper · Jul 25, 2008

Tracy - the sun came out this morning, but its clouded over again now! still its warm & dry

i cant believe i'll be doing my single digit dance tomorrow!!!

Still not started packing!!! will hopfully make a start over the weekend!

WI this morning 2 lb loss :cool1:

my scale has tallied with the nurses too, so its pretty spot on

that has taken 3 weeks to show on the scale since my last loss, so i'm glad i didnt give up or get disheartened as i would have done in the past!
i'm just worried how well i'll do in WDW :eek:

no gym for 3 weeks & lots of ADR's!!!
i really dont want all this hard work to go to waste!! 3 lb's more to come off & i will have lost a stone (14 lb's)

Went to gym yesterday

woke up with pain in my knee this morning so having a lazy day!

The potential hurricane has gone :banana:

& all looks quite on the national hurricane centres web site - couldnt help thinking ''calm before the storm'' :sad2:

There was a really scary news story today about a plane that got a huge hole appear in it on the way to Australia it had to make an emergency landing & luckily no one was hurt but sooo scary & something else for me to worry about!!! check it out here:

Hey Tracey!

You need to stay away from the news!! :rolleyes1

Just think positive thoughts and everything will be wonderful. (I say this partly because I will be heading to WDW soon too.

) We have enough stress in our lives, we shouldn't have to stress about our vacations too.

If I don't get back here, have a GREAT trip, and I can't wait to hear all about it! Are you going to do a TR?

I know I don't stop by often, but I do think about you a lot. I haven't been a good journal buddy for a while now...but I'm working through some issues of my own and hope to be back to my old self soon. :thumbsup2

Oh, and your yard is BEAUTIFUL!! That DH of yours is a keeper!
