I Love Guam! Part 7

On our way to watch some dolphins...sadly, none in sight!

Awwww, beautiful. It was so amazing to see the beautifuly, clear blue waters against the blue, nearly cloudless sky.  Take me back!!

Much of the coastline is rocky with cliffs.

Such love...

Daddy and his girls. So precious.

My Clairey beary and I. Love this girl.

My loves. The love I feel for these kiddos is truly indescribable. THey truly are my everything. Yep, check out Mya's mouth---GUM. Courtesy of her generous big sister. Oiy! Thankfully it didn't last long.

One exhausted kiddo. She actually fell asleep sitting up in the midst of enjoying her snack.


And on the other bed, Claire. Clearly enjoying her week in paradise!
 Easter has since past, but I am a bit behind. Chris went out celebrating with friends last night, while I held towels for one vomitting almost 2 year old. I definitely drew the short straw. Speaking of short straws, how did my typically healthy kiddo managed to find the flu twice in one year? Really! The upside is that she is a great patient. Vomitting seems to be old hat. She takes care of business (without crying), snuggles up, and falls back asleep. If only I could do the same. In between the bolts of lightening and rumbles of thunder combined with Mya's illness and Chris's arrival, I was up most of the night. Here's to hoping this rainy Saturday is one filled with relaxation, napping and happiness!

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...
