Oh TV, Oh TV, Where for art thou TV?


I love my TV. I watch way too many shows, DVR those that I miss and find myself watching those I don't even care about. Simply because it is there. Since being pregnant, I have lost much of the weight--40+ pounds, but considering I gained nearly 60 pounds, I definitely had alot to lose. I think that may be the first time I included that information on this blog. Anyway, it was way too much. I am now paying the price. I am slowing getting rid of it, but it is a huge work in progress. Before we attempt Baby #2, I am promising myself to get back down to my good old size 10. I have a bit to go. You're probably wondering how this is all related. Time is ticking. Baby #2 needs to come soon, so the weight needs to go--along with the TV. I am hoping this is the incentive I need to get my big bootie off this couch and get moving. However, since in ND (where I had NO cable--did I mention NONE, NOT A, ZIP, NILCH? And for all you smarties out there--yes, there is cable in ND, but since my Grandma's house is sitting empty, they cancelled the Direct TV)I have been sitting here watching our 12 stations, 4 of which are in Spanish and 1 in French. It has been kind of painful, but I guess I am doing okay. I miss my DVR. I miss HGTV. I'm not sure I miss the shows exactly, but I miss having the option to watch them if I choose. Chris isn't sure that I will make it through the summer, but it is a challenge I'd love to accept! So, from now on, please don't talk to us about what happened on "Moving Up," "One Tree Hill," "UFC," "The Deadliest Catch," or any other show that is not on PBS. If you have a question about what you missed on "Clifford," "Sesame Street," or "Teletubbies," then hey, I'm your gal. I take that back, I hate "Teletubbies." So for now, let the countdown continue--no extended cable for 9 days and counting.

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...

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 ...

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
