A Zippity Doo Dah Day!

Notes of this kind are found all over Korea--DMZ, Seoul Tower, etc. People visit, then leave notes behind declaring their love for one another.

All the gear.

When in Rome...

All geared up and ready to GO!

And he's off!

This is me. The one and ONLY picture. I tried to go no handed, which I discovered is challenging to do while in a seated position. Much easier laying down as I did in course number 7 and 9!

Chris. On this one we had a magnetic dart that we were to throw at the target.

Chris throwing the dart.

Victorious. A fitting add to his birthday, Chris hit the target!

A view from mid-flight.

The view looking down. Chris refused to look down, but I did! ;)

Another beautiful mid-flight view. It was a picture perfect day.

The truck of death. We were more afraid riding on this open rear truck than on the zip line; however, I was thankful I was able to ride up the mountain rather than walk!

Chris' prize for hitting the target--a fire extinguisher. Strange gift for the situation, but perfect for Korea ;)

Chris turned 35 yesterday. Wow, an old man! Ha. When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, he surprisingly said he wanted to zipline. He actually had no desire to hang from a string over the treetops, but he knew I have wanted to do this for sometime, so he took one for the team. What a guy! We dropped the kids off with their Korean Mother, Ms. Kim :) and we were on our way. It was awesome! Here are the highlights of our 9 different ziplining courses.

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 ...

Bouncing Crazyiness!

I do alot of online shopping. When you live overseas, you have to. The BX is thrilling, yes, but it changes out the merchandise only so often ;) When it comes to clothing, if you shop at the BX (which I do as well), you can be guaranteed that at least 3 other people will be seen in the same item. Take for example this little gray vest that I bought. The other day, 2 other teachers showed up in the same one. Thankfully, I hadn't worn mine that day, but you get the point. Anyway, several places do not ship overseas. That's where my Mom comes in. I typically have the stuff mailed to her house and she graciously mails it to us. Readdressing the boxes, running to the post office and mailing our stuff is a major pain. I know this, but she's been so great about it. Priority mail is the way to go. She generally mails it priority and we recieve it in a week to ten days. However, I ordered a "jumpy jump" as Claire calls it, well before Christmas. Since it was so heavy and s...

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 ...
