Good Friends

 
 
 
 
We are fortunate to have some good friends a few of whom came over on Saturday for a little party. It was great. The initial purpose was to scrapbook, but I can't say I got anything accomplished. Heather and Erin managed to pull together a few pages. It was fun visiting with everyone. We ate some good food, enjoyed some drinks (a bit too much in my case--ugh!!), and visited by the fire. It was a nice change from the norm. Claire was tuckered out by the end of the night. She fell asleep in my arms.

Thank you guys for such a great time! Josh, myself, and even Hunter really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait till we can get together again. I plan on finishing my pages tonight and posting them . . . I agree, I didn't get much accomplished but it was just nice to have some many people to spend time with! I hope that both you and Claire are feeling better. I am sticking your invitation in tne mail tommorrow - graduation is the saturday of Memorial Day weekend. We would love to have your family up if you are able to make it :)

Thanks for having us over...it was a great time! Ethan sure did crash when we got home. I hope Claire feels better soon and her teeth grow in quickly. (Not looking forward to that)

Oh and the food was amazing!!! Veggie pizza rocks.

Ok so next time you should invite me. I know I am a million states away, but it is the thought that counts. AND you never know maybe one day I will show up out of the blue!

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 ...

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...
