Tracy's Journal-The Saga and Drama of It All!

[toystoryduo]

Hi Tracy!

Sounds like you had a good weekend! Hope you have a great week!

I love bowling, but I am terrible at it. I am glad that you had fun. I say that pound loss counts until the next official weighin. So, congratulations!

Have a good one,
Beth

Hi Tracy,
Wow, you haven't bowled since college and then bowled a 102? Truly Amazing. You must be in the zone, baby

Good luck with the next WI, hopefully that low number will pop back up

Happy snowy morning (it's not sticking though),

Yesterday was a pretty decent day for food, with the exception of the SLEEVE of Club Crackers that I ate...whoever left those in the kitchen here at work must be hunted down!! They're kinda like Pringles or M&Ms for me...I can't stop eating them once I've had a taste...those definetely hit the flex points!!

While DD was at swimming, I spoke to a trainer at the Y about my pulled/strained hamstring...he said to keep going with the workouts since I've had 3 days of "rest" for it (4 after today)...he also said to back the amount of weight I lift off by 1/2 & work up gradually so that I stretch, but not re-strain that muscle...sounds like a plan...I think.

I'm still going to take today off from exercise & while DD is at swimming on Wednesday, I'll find a trainer again & have them with me while I try to work out...

On another note, DEx left for Colorado today...he'll be back in 3 weeks...he said yesterday that he was "mulling over" our conversation from a week ago about how he wanted to live his life..."mulling over"...***?

I'm still trying to nail down my vacation plans...pretty much have it figured out, just need to figure out my PS & get comfortable with the logistics of it all before I book...I'm thinking about booking through DU & letting them take care of everything (I'll have my concierge experience before I go, since I can't afford to have one while I'm there...ha ha!!)

to everyone for a super day!!!!





Tracy, Beth & Sunny--

Thanks for stopping in. Nice to see ya here!!

Be careful restretching that muscle. I think it is a good idea to have a trainer nearby - cuts down on the chance of you reinjuring yourself.

Thanks for the laugh in my journal this morning - I needed that!

Tracy, you have me ! Thanks for the laugh!

I'm having a hamstring issue too! My right hamstring is super tight right now for some reason so I chose not to workout today and just to stretch it carefully and gently. Pleas be careful with your hamstring!

I'm trying to nail down my vacation plans too. The thing is that I am not happy with the total amount that I have come up with so I am re-working the plan until I feel comfortable with the amount of money we will need to spend. DH said the original total was fine, but I think I am still going to work on it.

Have a great day, Tracy!

Hi Tracy! I just finished reading your journal! Sorry I haven't stopped by sooner. I too am working on planning a DW trip. I love the planning part...so I don't want to hand it over.

Sorry to hear about your DEx...but it sounds like you are doing the right thing by not letting it bother you either way. Way to go on losing another lb(even though you didn't count it)

Hope your hamstring gets better...I know I feel much better when I get in my exercise...eating also goes better for me.

Happy first of March!!

Hey Tracy,

You are very smart to have a trainer work with you. I had one work with me when I messed up my knee. They are very good, and are more than happy to help.

I am working with Cathy from DU. I am impressed so far. She sends me occasional emails, and is happy to work with me. When are you going?

Take care,
Beth

 

[sarahsmom73]

Tracy!

Take care of that leg!!!! You will need it for vacation!

Tracy: The hamstring "feels" alot better today, so I am going to ease back into my cardio/weights today...YEA!!! I hope you are able to get your trip "tweaked" just the right way, I know what you mean, though, about being comfortable with your numbers...

Gail: Hey, thanks for stopping in, good to see ya!! I have a 3-ring binder (my own Passporter?) with Disney stuff crammed into it, so I'm not completely out of the planning...just delegating some of it! Oh, I did see my weigh-in weight this morning...if it sticks another day, I'm claiming it!!!

Beth: I got Beth from D.U. Mind you, I just received my quote, I haven't pulled the trigger yet...I've got that itchy trigger finger though...won't be long! DD & I are going Dec. 1-4...short trip since we are renting a beach house in Cape San Blas, FL for a week in July (it's gorgeous there, we love it).

Jen: If the hamstring doesn't hold up, do they have a stroller in my size?? I'd say DD needs to push or carry me for a change!!!

 

[pettyone]

Howdy!!

I finally hit my weigh-in weight from Saturday again! Although, if I average my weight from Saturday-Today, I haven't lost a thing!! I really should stay off of the scale between weigh-ins, but I just got a new one & it's fun!!

The hamstring feels better, I'm going to work out for the first time today while DD is swimming...keep your fingers crossed...

I'll be fine for food during the day today, but I have no idea what we're having for dinner...I'm in one of those, "eat all the food in the house before you buy more" modes...my cabinets are starting to get quite full, so it's time to ease off a bit...I guess we'll be eating veggies or spaghetti tonight, we've already hit the freezer pretty hard, so the only meat in the house is not really a meat...chicken nuggets-whatever they REALLY are.

Tomorrow is my birthday...35...doesn't sound so bad! My folks are making t-bone steaks with all of the trimmings & I'm having my usual chocolate cake/cream cheese icing with bittersweet chocolate "dribbles" on it...YUM!! I don't expect to lose any weight this week with the hamstring issue & my birthday, but that's okay, I WANT LOTS OF CAKE!!! I love that cake...my Nanna used to make it for me before we moved to TN, so Mom took over the tradition & she does a phenomenal job with it!

I am rambling...

 

[lulu201]

OK, I'm just going to sit here a minute and visualize that cake. Ahhh, does it sound nice.

If I don't get a chance to stop by tomorrow, Tracy (it's my llllooooonnnnnggg day at work), I want to wish you a . I remember 35 . You know what? It just keeps getting better.

Thanks for all the smiles you bring to the WISH journals--
Erin

Awwww, you guys are the best!! What a way to start the day!!

I'm not even going to comment on my diet and exercise for today...I'm just going to enjoy my day & eat how I want & exercise if I want to!!

I did manage 30 min on the elliptical & 30 min of strength training last night (under supervision)--no problems, just had to decrease the weight on the leg curl and leg extension...overall, it felt great to work out again!!!

Oh, and an update on my trip planning...WL wasn't available with a AAA rate for my dates, so we got a quote for AKL that looks decent...AKL HERE WE COME!! I'm stoked! DD has decided she doesn't want to go "around the world" (Epcot), so we're planning 2 days at AK & 2 days at MK...haven't decided on doing MVMCP on Dec. 1...I'M EXCITED! I'm going to be broke in December...well, I'm broke in December anyway, so WTH!!!

and to everyone for a glorious day!!

 

[keenercam]

Tracy! Hope you have a wonderful day! Enjoy your delicious birthday dinner and that awesome sounding cake!

Be proud of yourself for working out last night, too, when you could have totally slacked off. Keep up the great work! Just think, in no time at all, you'll be enjoying WDW, looking great in shorts and enjoying all the walking.


BTW, we have never stayed at AKL, but have gone there to eat at Boma -- it was really beautifully themed. We have stayed at WL and it was stunningly beautiful.

Enjoy your day with your family!

 

[septbride2002]

They say it's your birthday!

Happy Birthday - make it a great one!

Cam & Amanda--

Thanks for stopping in to brighten my day!

I haven't gotten anything accomplished at work today...I say that makes it a "day off with pay", in a way...

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

Happy Birthday Tracy! Welcome to the 35 club (I turned 35 last Nov) Hey, it's only a number...I definitely don't feel any older!

Enjoy your birthday dinner and that awesome sounding cake!

I'm enjoying playing with the tracker on WW online!

Have a great day!
