I don't blame you for being tempted by chocolate mousse!

Have you noticed a difference in your legs from spinning?

You are doing awesome, keep it up!

 

[toystoryduo]

No worries about the mini cinnamon roll or the chocolate mousse...I bet you burned it all off in your advanced spinning class yesterday! Great job on the workout!

Have a great day!

 

[Amy&Dan]

A cinnamon roll and some chocolate mousse never killed anybody so don't stress! See how far you have come, to be addicted to spinning! Keep up the good work!

Great job on food and exercise, Tracey!!

Where did you get the Cinderella from? Is it like a cardboard cutout or an actual doll?

Have a great Sunday!

 

[lovinaz]

You are doing really good on your food and working out!

How fun to wear pj's to work! We don't get to do that at my work...

 

[Amy&Dan]

Your food and exercise look great!

You will love CSR, I know we did. And that was before the refurb and the queen beds! Its a great resort to just enjoy and relax in. They have a spa and salon which is nice. I think you made a great choice!

 

[toystoryduo]

Happy Wednesday, Tracey! Hope you're having a good week so far!

 

[goldcupmom]

PJs & Work sound like a perfect match! I used to love doing that when I taught! Cinderella? How cool!

Hope you had a good Wednesday! Hard to believe this week is almost over.

So, how do you stand the tiny seat for spinning? Just that alone makes me cringe and not want to try it!

 

[traceycooper]

So, how do you stand the tiny seat for spinning? Just that alone makes me cringe and not want to try it!

Thats exactly how i felt Julie - its took me 3 yrs to pluck up the courage & i'm so glad i did - my butt hurt after the 1st class but from then on i've been fine - it sooo suprised me!!!

Tracy - the cinderella is a cardboard cut out! wanted to put her on the bedroom wall but DH wasnt having it so shes in the spare bedroom at the moment!

Amy - i didnt even know CSR rooms had been refurbed until i was dising it the other day i think i could spend all week their & not go near the parks!! But of course i will

ok DD & i have just had a massive row over the laptop she has a lousy attitude at the moment!
i mentioned on Amys journal that my DD told me the other day - ''when we go to wdw next year i'll have officially left school'' !!! she is staying on but it just hit home & then i realised that as we go to wdw every 2 yrs the next time after next yr she'll be 18 & might not want to come away with us
so next yrs trip is now officially DD's sweet 16 trip

food been good all week - i have kept a record but havnt got the energy to type it all up from sunday!!
walked to & from work everyday
spinning - 45 mins sunday & tonight
gym - tuesday & tomorrow

cals - sunday - 1600
monday - 1600
tuesday - 1300
wednesday - 1500

oh my nieghbour & her ex got back together ...again.....

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, I am telling you, I am very close to buying ds his own laptop. 90% of his homework is on the computer. And 90% of my lonely nights while dh works needs to be spent on the disboards! Bad combo!

Sweet 16, I can't believe she'll be 16 when you go!

Keep up the good work, so your butt only hurt after the first class? I may have to give that a try after I lose some more weight! They all look so sweaty when they come out at my gym so it looks like a fabo fat burner!

 

[toystoryduo]

Your DD is going to be sweet 16 already?!?!?! Tracey, where did the time go? I bet she will have a wonderful time at WDW. Maybe you can do something extra special for her 16th birthday while you're there.

Great job on your food and workouts. I was thinking of you the other day when I was at the gym and the spinning class was going on. I would take a class there, but the spinning room is about the size of a postage stamp. I don't think I want to be that close to people while working out. I need me some space!

I hope you have a great day!

 

[lovinaz]

You are doing great with all of your workouts!

Boy, it sounds like quite the soap opera with your neighbors...

Have fun with your teenage DD! I'm sure we all have our memories of how we treated our moms when we were teenage girls...
