Yes I did! And it was lovely. I skipped 1000 times in 6:35 ......without the rope LOL!
My god, my arms have gotten so weak that by 300 they're reeally tired. Man what happened to those good old Tae-bo days when I would use my resistance bands WITH the weights inside. Sigh. Much has changed since then.
On to a happier thought though, I have now proved to myself that it is indeed capable, now I've just got to get the body moving....
Another resolution I've decided on, I'm going to start doing yoga everyday, come hell or high waters. I won't be doing hours long sessions, far far from, but more along the 20-30 mins area, but hey, every bit counts. :D
On to a more yummy topic, I made cornbread!
I don't know about you, or if you've ever read 'Little House On the Prairie" but I've always wanted to taste it, it sounds so good when it's being described. I had the opportunity, when Michelle told me that we had cornmeal and wanted me to use it (YES!)
So cornbread was made.
and it was yum.
The end.
OH YEA! WISH ME LUCK FOR MY VISA TRIP! (this thurs)

  Sorry for such a hasty post yesterday. I wanted to stay true to my resolution, but I’m wondering, if it’s going to sacrifice quality for just for the sake of posting…I don’t know. Ah well, enforcing good habits is a balancey thing.

So what really happened yesterday was this.

Ryan and I had a day all to ourselves because Broderick had a modeling job, and the parents were both out working.

First thing we did? Well, we did half of our school work, and then had some craft time. Ryan got to making a Christmas card (to himself) while I did some coloring (lol, it was fun). Once we both had enough of that, it was on to making some bread.

I had already made bread with Broderick, and it turned out great, so of course, Ryan wanted to have bread that he baked as well, so we got started right away.

For those of you wondering, here’s the recipe, it’s super simple-as stated- and egg free!

After that was Children’s Smile, and it was once again brought home to me just how very communist it still is in China.

I was talking with one of the fathers who help out with our weekly thing, and he was remarking how amazing it must be to be in a family of 11 children. I said well yes it is, once you get past the familiarity it is quite amazing.

Then he told me how he would love to have more then one child, (his son is only 3 months old now), and how strict the punishment is if you have more then one.

I have to admit it was pretty shocking how China still holds to its one child policy, and the safeguards they put in place to ensure that no one tries to skirt the rules.

After talking about that, we moved on to schooling, and home schooling, the benefits of living with a lot of people/ having many brothers and sisters, and we ended with agreeing to learn one word a day, in Chinese for me, and for him, in English.

I’ll keep you updated on how that goes. For Sunday, my word of the day was ‘Elbow’ Zhou. His word was elbow as well, haha. He also taught me shoulder ‘xiou ma’ and knee ‘xi gai’
