Our Little Princesses

Chris just asked when I was going to update the blog. I am sure my family is wondering the same thing :) Sadly, there isn't a whole lot happening in our lives. I guess that isn't exactly true, we've been doing alot, it just isn't things you'd care to hear or see. My school was on spring break last week, which meant the kiddos and I stayed home and spent alot of time sifting through boxes, organizing, and preparing for our move. I think we've finally finished that task. In one of my boxes were some hair pieces. Claire and Mya loved them and wore them for the entire day, adding their princess dresses to the display. It was rather cute. Princesses and babies are an everyday activity at our house, along with playing school or restaurant. Those are the "go to" activities. Overall, they play so well together. Love these girls to the moon and back.

Oh oh, you think it is a back "RUB?" Sorry for the misinformation. It is a back beat down. Just remember what doesn't hurt them, makes them stronger. He'll learn one way or another ;) We can't wait to see you too. The girls have been toted Jackson along with us on various occasions. They love the birth announcement and looking at their littlest cousin. So darn adorable.

Ha ha..that is cute! Hopefully the girls like him as much in person! A beat down never hurt anyone,right? With the "muscles" Jackson has I'm sure he can hold his own!

Love Ya, j

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 ...

Pink Family

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...
