I Love Guam! Part 5


I hate coconut, but it was fun seeing they crack these babies open and put straws inside to drink the milk. They actually used a machety. Until this trip, I had never seen an actual coconut growing on a tree. It was pretty neat as they were all over as were macadamia nuts and mangos.

Waiting for our food. My friend suggested we try the foodstand with the longest line. She claimed they were the best and she was right!

 
We dined on barbeque, chicken, corn, rice, pancit and banana lumpia. It was all delicious. Our girls especially loved the pancit, lumpia and chicken. We shared one meal, ate alot of food and paid only $12. Pretty great deal.

On Wednesday night we ventured to the Chamorro Village. It was filled with vendors selling arts/crafts type products, food and live music with dancing. It was a busy, and fun place.

This caption is for my sisters. Both girls like meat like their Momma! ;)

They were offering rides on a water buffalo, which they called a Karaboa. Neither of our girls were excited about getting near that thing let alone on it.


Yep, Mya when she saw the water buffalo ;)

The band. People were line dancing just to the left and tables surround the dance floor.

They had these irresistable hula girl cookies that we couldn't pass by.

Mya was super excited to crack into it! We also bought whistles made from bamboo and friendship bracelets. I bought some bracelets at the hotel prior, but I should have waited as they were less expensive in the village.

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 ...
