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!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

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 ...

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 ...
