Thursday Day 25 (1/3 of the way)

-

 1/3 of the way to 75. I am still straightening out a few areas of the requirements. It seems like I always just jump right in without any planning. That is a weak point for me. That is what I will work on today. What do I need to be successful next week? 

I got up at 3:40 went to the bathroom, laid back down and tried to sleep. I think I got a little more sleep then up and out of bed at 4:45 ish. 7 hours of sleep is the least I have had in a while. I got up and made greek yogurt bagels btw they were good but not low calorie. We did not have the high protein chobani so the bagels ended up being almost 200 calories each with only 9g protein. Yikes white flour is terrible. They were homemade so that is good. After breakfast, I headed out with Shadow for my workout which I thought was just an easy 35 minutes but it was a speed day. Shadow is a good running partner, after 20 min easy running we did 8x20sec high turn over with 45 seconds recovery, then 10 min cool down. I was tired but it is done. At 10:25 I did workout 2, a walk for warm-up then deep core and mobility. That is what I needed. My body is tight and tired. 

Breakfast                                                                                                                                                before run-yogurt bagel with CC, 3 eggs, BCAA                                                 =350cal and 28g protein after run another 3/4 bagel with CC and coffee                                                    =200cal and 9g protein   lunch   wrap (70/7), chicken (250/25) avocado (100) Veggies                    =420 calories and 32g protein

Shopping list

Chobani Greek yogurt            fruit-berries            sweet potatoes         pickles (hot if possible)

Create several meals with calories and protein figured out in advance so I do not always have to count and track because that is exhausting. 

Meal 1-Greek yogurt, hemp seeds, and berries  (

cottage cheese and pineapple or cherry tomatoes (

Egg, meat, and avocado toast (

Grilled chicken, salad, balsamic 

Tuna, celery, veggies, and cottage cheese, a few crackers/ low carb wrap, or lettuce wrap

Chickpeas, black beans, etc are good for protein sources. 

Hardboiled eggs, hummus and veggies

 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...
