more Bar Harbor





We also went kayaking. It was a first for Chris, Claire and I. Although we didn't plan well, it was a fun experience. We went out as the tied was going out. As a result, Chris and Josh ended up dragging the kayaks through 10 yards of thick mud. We went around the inlet, taking in the sights. Claire wasn't so thrilled with the trip. She buried her head into my shoulder for most of it. The return to land was much more challenging. What was at first a 10 yard hike through thick mud, quickly grew to 1/4 mile or so. Josh first got out of his kayak, thinking he would drag it back, but instead, lost his shoe. When he was elbow & knee deep in his search for the shoe, he sort of lost his shorts. It was the funniest thing. Chris and I just laughed. Of course, I had to get a somewhat tasteful picture of the scene! Sorry Josh. Chris soon joined him in his own search as he lost his flip flop. I ended up dragging the kayak back to the cabin as Chris was shoeless. All in all, it was a memorable trip. Later that evening, we went on a sunset sail. It was also our first experience on a sailboat. Very fun. We have such great friends. Thanks for letting us tag along on your vacation, Josh and Erin. We had so much fun.

ha ha ha, while I find it very funny, Josh is not 100% appreciative of his 'moon' being on the internet :-P

We had a great time with you as well and were happy to have had you with us.

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

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 ...
