Monday 4/7 Day 8

-

 I slept about 7.5 hours then laid in bed for 30 minutes. Only made 12+ on the fast. I don't want to burn muscle. My glycogen stores should be depleted so I would imagine I am jumping right to muscle or fat to burn for fuel. 

up for IM8 and electrolytes

breakfast-1 egg+2 whites and hamburger=300 cal 30g and coffee

Chicken salad-lettuce-tomato=maybe 500 calories and 38g protein (I don't think I had that much but ok)

bacon-egg-lettuce tomato wrap with a little mayo-450 calories and 38g protein 

ate an extra piece of bacon with peanut butter-200 calories 10g protein

Total 1500 calories and 116 protein 

workout 1-10k+ steps at school

work 2- 10 minute dynamic warm-up walk 2 miles and cool down with stretching

The day went by ok. I was flustered about doing this activity with the kids without fully understanding the process but we went with it anyway. I have been feeling a little anxious about how many days are left, where I am etc. There is also so much planning plus planning for school. It seems like everything is pressing in on me and I can not keep up with it all. I just have to keep going. I am also concerned as always about Tucker having a melt down. He has been great. Thank you, mom all the time and considerate.  

I am tired. 

Brain dump

planning the field trip and getting all the proper paperwork complete. What am I going to do tomorrow and tomorrow...excited that there are only 9 school days until vacation but not sure what we are doing for Easter and vacation. Should I just go someplace? Probably best to plan some day trips and just work on training. Looking ahead to shoes, sprints, lifting, etc. My baby hairs are growing all around my face. Should I go back to Altra? I have to finish taxes and set up an IRA...ugh so many things need my attention and I just don't have the focus for it. I am going blind. It is getting really bad. I can't see things. I do not want to grade the presentations. I have to return them to B block tomorrow and that will only leave C and F by Friday.

 How do you win the war? With good questions. Lost Tools of Writing has laid out an easy format for asking questions in other words-thinking.  Definition: Define your terms. We can’t understand it if we don’t know what it is. While definitions used to involve at least some thinking (at least alphabetizing and spelling), today’s technology has put digital dictionaries in our pockets. Guess what? By asking the questions “what group does it belong to?” and “how is it different from others in that group?” you and your students will be doing some serious thinking. Comparison: How is X like Y? What differences spring out of this similarity? Are these differences of “a certain kind of thing” or differences of “more/less”, “better/worse”, or “bigger/smaller”? Circumstance: What in the world is going on here? What in the world is going on somewhere else? Relations: What was the cause of X? What was the effect of X? Did this effect in turn cause something else? Just because somethin...

Let me tell you about a bear, a skunk, and a hen. Day 68

 I am nearing the end of the challenge. One more weekend, 3 days of school, 1 more faculty day, and a lacrosse playoff game. I am a little undecided about whether I will drink on Friday night. I guess I have to see what happens.  Up at 4:47 still tired but I figured I needed to get up to get my walk before it got too hot and muggy  I had toast, 3 eggs, and coffee. Afterwards I took the dogs for a walk. It was already muggy and buggy. Gross. We headed out to the field then turned down icehouse so Ripper could poop in the woods. Well I turned the corner and saw a black thing in the road. I feel like it was a bear. It looked narrow but it was too slow and deliberate to be a dog. We turned and ran the other way. The black spot was still there. Finally when I took a break to walk the dogs pulled me to the right towards a clump of trees. Right there in front of me was a skunk with its tail up ready to shoot. We got away from that before it was too late. THEN a hen skirted acros...

One week later

For 60 hours, I let all the requirements of 75 Hard fade away. I had wine, margaritas, junk food and no workouts. It is time to get back to it. I have to make a decision about the 55k. Am I in?  I continued living large for the entire week post-75 hard. It has been wild. Friday was my final day. The kids were waiting for their big playoff game while I finished my checklist and cooked burrito casserole. The game was exciting with the bomb threat, change of venue, and the eventual big win. I had my margaritas and burrito casserole. We hosted Ricardo from Germany and Nomar from Brooklyn, who will be coming here next year. On Saturday morning, the boys had an easy practice, I did my long run, and we just hung out all day. I really don't remember what else we did... Sunday was Father's Day. We argued about what to do and finally said, let's go to Portland. It was a beautiful, cool day. We ate at the Port Hole (something like that). It was so delicious. I had fish tacos, Tucker h...
