Pedro Jones

Dear old Pedro Jones finally arrived at our house. Santa has been sending elves to our house every year for the past 3 years. They come and watch our children, then report back to Santa whether they have been "naughty" or "nice." The elves of years past have been pretty calm and boring. They hide in crazy places, but have behaved themselves in our company. This one, Pedro Jones, is another story. He is already trouble. This is what we awoke to this morning....

The little bugger broke out of the box by himself, found my sugar, apparently thinking it was snow and began having some snow angel fun! The girls were aghast! They couldn't believe his behavior, yet repeatedly tried to convince me that he wasn't a naughty elf. This could be a long 30 days....

Hey Liz,
Hopefully I didn't freak you out when I recognized you! I can't say I've ever run into anyone I've blogged stalked before :) You're my first. I really should get better at photographing our Pedro Jones. He is quite the guy. However, I sadly admit that half the time, he doesn't quite take his new place until it is too late. My oldest actually woke up this morning to find him rocking out with the snowman at the piano as she had found him yesterday morning. Good thing Pedro is fast. he stealthily moved to the macaroni box in the pantry for a game of hide and seek. We've got to get better at this! I am totally doing the marshmallow spa tomorrow. Love 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 ...

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 ...

Is this a hint?!!

A few years ago one of Chris' friends was telling us that he got his girlfriend a wiifit for Christmas. I couldn't help but laugh and told him that I'd be so insulted. Supposedly she wanted it, so for her it was the perfect gift. He got her other things as well that were much more meaningful--cooking school and a massage or something. Anyway, fast forward to this Christmas. I had a list of items that I wanted, but ended up buying most of them for myself prior to Christmas. I am definitely not one to wait until Christmas or birthdays to buy things--for me or anyone else. Needless to say, Chris was kind of left hanging. I wanted a $1300 lense for my camera, but as you can imagine, that wasn't an option. Hmmm. This is what I received. Very generous, but do you think my wonderful husband is subtle? Ha.   Out of fear of making Chris seem like a total jerk, I should add some necessary details--only because I am nice. I had been talking about losing weight, working ...
