new wheels and alot of lovin'








i am finding it difficult to write a cohesive post as of late, so here is another one filled with randomness.

with the addition of mya comes the addition of yet another stroller (we already have a travel system and single jogger). after much research, questioning others and debate, we decided on this double jogger. thus far it is awesome.

claire continues to be full of love for both her little sister and sophie. the past few weeks we'd been debating on whether or not to keep sophie. she is a smart dog who follows her commands quite well, but she is full of energy. we actually got to the point where someone i work with was going to take her. we sadly decided we couldn't part with the crazy dog, so she is here to stay. hopefully we all stay sane with this decision. so far so good. we have a decent routine which gives her the exercise she needs and tires her out too. i hope it continues.

mya is such a little honey. she is starting to smile when she sleeps. granted these smiles are probably gas, i love them just the same. there really hasn't been a change in her eating or sleeping patterns. when she is awake, she is very alert and constantly looking around as if to analyze her environment.

I know it was an incredibly heartwrenching thought for you and Chris to give up Sophie and I know that it was equally worrisome when deciding to give it a few more weeks. I am very happy to hear that you have decided to keep the little devil and that maybe you have reached a solution. Claire and Mya are both so adorable and it is very clear that Claire loves her very much. With the addition of your new stroller I now know where to go if Hunter ever breaks a leg :-P

Hope to see you soon!

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 ...

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 ...

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...
