Week 7 Tuesday Day 44-45 Milestones

 Tuesday

I am exhausted from a hard workout plus lift followed by a long run followed by yesterday's surprise sprints. My legs need a break. Today is sorta easy...I need to figure out drivers, groups, etc for our field trip. I pray that I have completed all the proper steps. How do I know for sure? 

Breakfast      canadian bacon, 2 eggs, ezek with cc/jelly                     300 calories/27g protein              lunch yogurt, granola, berries, chicken salad, pickles                         450 calories/35g protein                snack yogurt cheesecake pudding, english muffin pb/butter              250ncalories /15g protein                    dinner wrap, 1/2#burger, ketchup, mustard                                         630 calories 44g protein

total calories 1630 calories and 121 g protein 

I guess I had to stuff my face to stave off any cravings that typically occur when I am too tired to think and act right. Ripper getting away last night followed by me at 1am searching for him in the car left me exhausted this morning. I got in my 45 min walk with Shadow (2.5 miles) plus another mile and some exercises until I decided to crush dinner and a Non alcoholic margarita. I stuffed myself. At least it ended by 5:30. I am now showered and lazy waiting for everyone to come home from wherever they are. 

Wednesday 

I have a ton of things that need to be done but not into the planning or the sitting to get it done. However I did get up after 7.5 sleep and get out to do my strides workout. It was a cool morning but that is workout 1 done. 

Breakfast- fat toast cc/jelly and 2 eggs-1yolk                        300 calories 15g protein                                   lunch protein pudding/berries, tuna and salad                       425  calories /40g protein                         snack homemade bread and CC espresso                               230 calories 5g protein                                   dinner chicken, a few pieces orange chicken and rice          600 calories and 60g protein                      post dinner 2 strawberries, ezek, cc and espresso                  130 calories and 6g protein

1700 calories and 126 g protein 

I sure feel like I have eaten way more than 1700 calories. Perhaps 2000. I was pretty hungry today and the bread satisfied my craving. I am down to 30-1 days. Just stay focused and keep moving. 

5am workout 12x20second fast stride with warm up and cool down. 3.5 miles plus mobility, then walk 2 miles with dogs after school. Total steps=21000. Not a bad day. 

Oh yea I got my contract for next year. The tide is turning and now I will be grateful for my job because everything is getting more expensive for us.

 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...
