Beach Fun















yesterday was gorgeous. the sun was shining, the sky was blue. perfect. we headed to the beach. wingaersheek beach on the north shore. it was beautiful. one of the most beautiful beaches i have been to--perfect sand, not alot of riff raff in terms of people, awesome scenery, and not far to trek to find the perfect spot. the water was gorgeous too. it actually looked blue from a distance. claire was talking a great game of how she was going to swim, yada yada yada. i expected her touch the water with her foot and run like the wind. boy was i wrong and oh so proud. she really is a crab baby. she LOVED the water. mya too. it was cold, but for some reason, they both were little fish. claire laid down and splashed all about. mya sat in the later, crawled around, and enjoyed it when i splashed her around. it was great. claire spent alot of her time running to get water only to dump it in the sand. she used all the sand toys were bought and really had a great time. it as such a good day. a really great day. there is nothing like seeing your kids grinning from ear to ear for hours upon hours. today was one of those days. only one thing could have made it better---chris.
one funny thing...we went with our friends (of course). rocky, michelle, lucy, alison, jp and henri joined us. anyway, at one point, jp took claire down to the water and came back chasing her with a watering can full of water. claire was laughing and laughing, thinking it was the best thing ever. on the ride home, she was telling me all about it again, when all of a sudden she says, 'jcpenney was chasing me with the water.' it took me a moment to put 2 and 2 together, but i quickly figured out that jcpenny was actually jp. is it possible that we shop a bit too much?? the kid made me laugh. too cute.

I am so glad you had fun, what a couple of cute "beach babes". I miss the ocean so much. The girls look so cute in their matching swimsuits. You look like you have dropped a size, good for you.
I am sure Chris was there in spirit, I know a body would have been better. Glad your friends were there to keep you company.

love you guys!!!!

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 ...

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...

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 ...
