Just Beachy

chris has been so excited to take sophie to the beach since labs are supposedly water dogs. sophie did not disappoint. we went to wells beach in maine for the day. she loved the water. she was slightly sabotaged as chris forced her to run through a few puddles, but it was love none-the-less. claire, on the other hand, wasn't as quickly convinced that the big mass of ocean wouldn't swallow her whole. she whined for a bit and needed to be carried, but soon adjusted and began splashing her feet in the puddles and throwing sand. my big fear was claire getting clotheslined by the leash and tossed into the water as a result. chris claimed he had it all under control, but as you can see in the video, he didn't have much under control. we also met up with our great friends, josh and erin who have a dog son named hunter. he truly is like their son. that dog is treated better than i am! anyway, claire was smitten with hunter and the fact that she could hold onto his leash and take him for a walk. it was like old times with a smaller version of harvest for her. it was a fun day as we went to lunch and wandered through kenneybunkport. claire walked the entire time. needless to say, she was wiped and down for the count the whole ride home.

aww....it was so nice to see you guys, you both looked wonderful.

Hunter had a great time with miss Claire - she can walk him anyday! He slept the entire ride home and did not want to get out of bed this morning.

You have to come visit more often so that Claire can truly appreciate the ocean and the beach!

That looks like so much fun -- I'm very jealous that you can go to the ocean whenever!! We'll definately have to plan a trip to visit you when Kennen is just a little bigger. Hope you're feeling ok.

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 ...

Pink Family

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...
