Snowing and My thoughts on weight loss and diet
It's snowing !!!! It's snowing !!! the first snow in Korea for the winter. Yay! I just found out they don't have snow days here. Sooo it blows and I hope I don't have to schelp to school when there is alot of snow on the ground.
I'm glad I stocked up on food. I forgot to mention in my post I went to the grocery store yesterday. I liked this store better than the Lotte Mart and it seems cheaper, It's called E-mart it's S Korea's walmart annnd I heart it. This place is so way better than Walmart it has multi levels for goodness sakes. I bought alot of things and I was able to make something I have been craving for MAC and CHEESE !!!.
Today I woke up late from staying up last night. Even though I woke up late I was still early for work. When I got here I heard some exciting info. Apparently I'm losing weight. Ji-Hye told me that teachers have noticed I lost weight (YAY !!!) they think it has to do with the fact that I don't eat alot of food at lunch. I think it's because I am eating healthier sources of food. They have barely any frozen food here. Which at first I thought it was a pain, but realized that fresh is better. I was asking about frozen veggies and the other teachers looked at me like I was nuts lol. In america some people are so concerned with a low carb diet. In korea the staple is noodles and rice. I've had more noodles and rice here than I've had in a long time and am still losing weight. Interesting, No, low carb fanatics? I don't think carbs have anything to do with it. I think it's the chemicals that are in our foods. Koreans have been eating rice and noodles for every meal since forever and they are on the whole thin people. But I digress. I lost weight YAY!!! Stairs o death here I come.

LOL!! Hooooray! Well done little momma! I will have to agree with you the fascination with this country on carbs, etc is a load of balooey. There have been reports about how the Europeans and Asians eat tons of bread and lots of food all day long and as a whole are 'healthier' then we are. It def comes to the chemicals and processing that are put into the foods here. The country did not 'suddenly' become obese because people eat more McDonald's than before. It's allllllll in the homones and pesticides they put in the animals and veggies...... Well carry on and keep it up... Ohh and SNOOWWWWWWWW?????!! Egads.. Do you have your snow boots with you??? It was like in the teens here today (wind chill).. Chiiild III had a coat on so you KNOW it was ice cold.. Soo no ready for the winter. But alas. The colder it gets the closer to December it gets the SOOONER you will be coming home to mee! Ohhhh yeaaahhh!! Love you..
