weightloss update

ok, first a question. does weightloss due to illness count as actual weightloss? i am not sure, but i'll take what i can get at this point. we haven't abided by the eating or workout plan one bit this week, which makes week number 2 of falling off the wagon. with that being said, let me explain the earlier question. our kids were sick with the flu from last friday through monday. things looked up on tuesday, so off to daycare they went. flash forward to thursday night. claire woke up vomitting and continued to do so four times in three hours. it was awful. a skinny kid like that certainly cannot afford to lose any of the morsels she consumes. anyway, mya was the same story--vomitting two times thursday night. this has continued through saturday. i was lucky enough to catch a bit of their issues this time around. i started feeling sick on friday night and was pretty much tied to the bathroom all day yesterday. i was miserable. the sad thing is that misery isn't really an option when you have two small children. chris was great after i finally told him that i needed to lay down, but he was trying like everything to get us moved out of this house. it has been quite the adventure. anyway, he wore alot of hats yesterday...daddy, nurse, moving guy, laundry guy, and errand boy. i am pleased to say that i feel so much better today and so far so good with both claire and mya. with that i leave you with my overall weightloss of 8 pounds. not bad considering there was almost a week of gain and a week to lose that gain. i am pleased. once we are settled into our new place and life gets a bit back to normal, we will jump on that wagon again. until then, we are praying for a few weeks without illness.

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 ...

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...
