Things kids say...

Our girls have been very "into" finding bugs and all things nature lately. Their latest victim were 3 moths. They kept them hostage in a tupperware container for a few hours until I finally forced Claire to let them go free. She did and they didn't move too far. We left for our trip to Belgium and when we returned, Claire immediately went to check on the moths. She came in and said the following:
"Mom! Guess what??!! God came to visit while we were gone!"
me: "What are you talking about?"
Claire: "Before we left, the moth was out on the patio, not moving and probably dead, but God came and took it up to Heaven with him! That's so great!"

She then went on to say that she was going to go outside and pray for the moth. These stories warm my heart. She is getting it.

Mya says some of the cutest things as all kids do. One that we were reminded of and don't want to forget is "smooky" or "spooky" to everyone else. She is now able to say her 'ch' sound without the frontal lisp. Sadly, I think it will be only a matter of time until the cute Mya lisp is history. Just another reminder that our little girl is growing up.

Nate told me to tell ya, it looks like Claire is going to be his new hunting partner. At least she prayed for the innocent moth she killed! Too funny! Can't wait to see you all, it's getting closer!

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 ...

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...
