How I've Missed Thee.

Sleep. I love my sleep. I loved my sleep before children and even moreso now that I am deprived. However, we've been at my parents' house for 4 days now and I think I have gotten more sleep in those 4 days than I have in the past 3 years. All thanks to my awesome parents. Love them. Mya is sleeping in the one bedroom, while Claire and I are sleeping in another. My Mom has been grabbing Mya when she wakes in the morning. Claire and I have been sleeping in anywhere from 8 to sometimes 9 each day. I even have had a nap each day. It is heavenly. I feel pretty refreshed, although I have a lot on my mind. No word on the job yet, which I was expecting, but I am somewhat impatient. I've made my list of things to do if I should get the job and we decide to move to Korea. All in all, I am pretty prepared or at least as much as I can be being so far away from MA. Just wish I could snap my fingers and find out if I got the job, gather all my stuff from work, say the sucky good-byes, complete the paperwork, take the necessary pictures of our high priced items and get this ball rolling. Oh well. I suppose less time to truly stress is better. In more positive news, I will be with Chris in less than two weeks. I am getting very excited and the best part is that he actually has planned some things for us to do. He isn't revealing much, but any planned activities will be fine with me.

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 ...
