Red Sox-Yankees, April 20th, 2007



For Chris' 30th birthday, which is quickly approaching, I bought him 2 tickets to see the Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway Park. The weather was perfect--lower 70's with a slight breeze. It was certainly a nice break from all the rain we've been having as of late. Chris and I left for the game rather early, in order to take in all the festivities. We actually were able to watch some of the players arriving at the Stadium. David Ortiz, who is pictured on the left, arrived in his pimped-out, white Escalade with the song, "This Is Why I'm Hot" pumping through the open windows. It was rather amusing seeing each player drive up in their different vehicles. I guess we assume each must drive a flashy, pimped-out vehicle, like Ortiz', but that wasn't the case. Mike Lowell drove a white GMC Yukon, Mike Timlin drove a VW SUV, Varitek drove a Volvo SUV and several others did drive Hummers. It was a neat experience. The game was great too. We sat in the pavillion section, which is an elite club area. We had access to a restaurant, cushioned
seats and in seat waitress service. The Red Sox dominated the game and ended up winning 7-5. Chris was thrilled because we not only saw Beckett pitch most of the innings, but Papelbon came in as closer. He is the player pictured to the left. It was a fun experience and hopefully a most memorable birthday.

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

Bouncing Crazyiness!

I do alot of online shopping. When you live overseas, you have to. The BX is thrilling, yes, but it changes out the merchandise only so often ;) When it comes to clothing, if you shop at the BX (which I do as well), you can be guaranteed that at least 3 other people will be seen in the same item. Take for example this little gray vest that I bought. The other day, 2 other teachers showed up in the same one. Thankfully, I hadn't worn mine that day, but you get the point. Anyway, several places do not ship overseas. That's where my Mom comes in. I typically have the stuff mailed to her house and she graciously mails it to us. Readdressing the boxes, running to the post office and mailing our stuff is a major pain. I know this, but she's been so great about it. Priority mail is the way to go. She generally mails it priority and we recieve it in a week to ten days. However, I ordered a "jumpy jump" as Claire calls it, well before Christmas. Since it was so heavy and s...
