I Love Guam! Part 3



Mya putting the sunscreen on my face. Lesson learned. I let the girls apply some to my face and then I did it myself. They had a blast. The effects were rather comical. If only my camera would pick it up. I ended up having suntan lines from where sunscreen was applied and where it wasn't. I was dying. Needless to say, I am still in search of the right color of foundation necessary to blend those lines ;)

Mya ready for teh beach with her toys in tow. She loves to carry bags, purses, etc.

Gorgeous flowers. The girls and I loved them and put them in our hair. So lovely.

Our precious Claire looking adorable as ever with those beautiful flowers.

This is the snorkeling pool at the hotel. Our kids weren't able to snorkel in here because they didn't meet the height requirements, but we all snorkeled later in the week.

The resort had a river running through it that you could kayak on. It was pretty incredible. They also provided kayaks and windsurfing equipment on the beach, along with snorkels, shoes, etc.



One of the kids pools featured a "zoo" complete with huge animals. The frog was a favorite for Mya. She is a daredevil and demonstrated no fear sliding down the frog and into the water.


Another pool for kids complete with a splash park/playground. The girls weren't fond of this area because of the huge bucket that randomly threw a tsunami at them.

The Zoo.

The girls and I went for a ride in the sail boat. It was so much fun.

Scuba Steve revisited again. You may have remembered Chris attempting to scuba dive in our backyard pool in MA. He finally got to put his skills to the test in an actual ocean. We went for a dolphin watching ride, but saw no dolphins. Instead, they anchored the boat and let us all snorkel. It was incredible. Even the kids had a blast. They hooked up a plastic boat with a plexiglass viewing window. The kids layed on the boat and peered through the window at the coral reef and fish below. It was truly an amazing experience for us all.

Me snorkeling in the water at the beach. The beach was set on a reef, so the water was shallow for a 100 yards or so. It was great.

This is the city trolley/bus. Pretty cute. For $3, we took a ride around the entire route and got a nice feel for the sights. We later bought a 5 day pass and hopped on and off as we liked.


Chris, Claire and Mya on the trolley.

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...
