I Love Guam! Part 2



Mya especially loved watching the water rush over her legs.

Claire making a "mudpie." Her teacher at school, Ms. Valene grew up on Guam, so she was prepping her for the trip telling her all the great things she'd see. She was also teaching her "Haffa Adai," which means "hello."


The resort had 5 hammocks, which Mya and Claire both enjoyed "swinging." I guess they serve different purposes for each person.

Daddy and Mya attempting the small water slide. This one actually connected to a larger one, which scared the heck out of Mya. Chris was convinced she was traumatized.


Another view of a pool.

Chris holding Mya above the water as they entered the pool.

Claire as we waited for Daddy and Mya to come down teh slide.

Mya was a huge fan of the sunscreen stick. There is a whold other side to this story yet to be told.

Our exciting day was topped off with a trip to Kmart. I've never been a fan of Kmart, but I was thrilled to have this little escape to something so familiar.

Claire's new sunglasses that she chose herself. The girl has style.

Mya's new shades. Again, quite the "paprazz"i attractor!
Our days in Guam went a little something like this...wake up around 8:30 or 9:00 (amazingly, our children decided to "sleep in"), get ready for the beach/pool, hang out there for 3-4 hours, eat lunch, nap and do some sort of activity, followed by dinner and bed. It was perfect. We didn't have anything "planned" per say, although one of my friends was previously stationed there for awhile, so she gave me a list of suggestions and restaurants to enjoy. We didn't make it through half of the suggestions, but still managed to fill every minute of every day doing exactly what we wanted. Our girls took to the water right away, loving the beach, sitting on the shoreline and feeling the water rush over their legs. Claire especially enjoyed making "mudpies"  and sandcastles.

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 ...

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 ...

7 weeks

7 weeks has brought a couple of changes for sweet baby Mya. She is eating 5+ ounces of milk/feeding. Mya is much more awake now. She typically sleeps for about 4 hours during the day, otherwise is checking out this big bad world. Mya seems to enjoy our daily walks. She looks around and is a pretty content kiddo. Claire tends to her pacis if the need arises. We've introduced her to the activity mat, which she enjoys if she is left alone; however, given the fact that Claire too is fascinated by the mat and Mya, being left alone is a rare occurence. Mya sits in the swing daily, although she isn't a huge fan at this point. We're hoping to change her ways. She is strong, holding her head for minutes at a time and loves standing on her little feet. Mya has begun smiling. She has done this consistently for the past several days, but it is difficult to capture such an event on film as she stops smiling the moment you break eye-contact. This milestone is such a heart melting one. Th...
