I Love Guam! Part 6

Our final days in Guam were spent at the beach, canoing, swimming, an attempt at a dolphin watching excursion turned snorkeling fun, and a polynesian dinner show. While on the island, we spotted many hermit crabs, birds (which Mya adorably chased--I felt like we had been depriving her living in Korea as there really aren't a whole lot of cute little birds to chase here), and tiny lizards. The girls were captivated each time we saw them on sidewalk, ceilings or anywhere else they roamed.

Funny story...my Mom has all sorts of  decor/figurines, etc. in their house. When we were visiting last summer, Mya disappeared. We found her bending down ever so slightly nose to nose with a set of hand carved pilgrims. It was the sweetest thing. It was as if she really thought they were real. Mya has done several things simliar. She looks very intently at things and stops to pet porcelin animals should we come across them.  Case in point--this pig. We passed it several times a day and each time, Mya would stop to say hello. Sweetness.

After the polynesian show, several cast members gave leis to children in the audience. Our girls each received one. I had them stop for a picture only to open the floodgates to many more photos from passers-by. I am not sure what our children are going to think when it is time to return to the states where they are not idolized and certainly not the have following they seem to have here ;)

Okay, funny story. Leaving the show, this guy wanted Mya and Claire to pose for a picture. Claire refused altogether and Mya was with Chris. When he tried to step aside and leave Mya for the picture, she started to follow. The next thing I knew, Chris this random guy and Mya were all posing for a picture. Ha! It was hilarious. Chris wasn't sure how it all transpired, but it was funny that he too was included in the paparazzi shot. I was chatting with my sister, Lisa,  the other day about what these strangers do with the pictures of our kids. We were joking that they use them for their holiday cards. I don't know. I only hope for the best and pray they are in the"right" hands.

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 ...
