weekend 7 days 48 and 49

 Saturday-

Last night Tucker headed off to his first prom. It almost went down without a hitch. His suit coat was too big (we forgot to try it on when we got home). We still don't know if we bought the wrong coat or if he lost that much weight since Lacrosse season began. My guess is that most of the boys were wearing tuxedos or skinny fit suits and his is a classic fuller suit. He was upset but made it through the frustration. After the kids left we three planned to go to TJMaxx and grocery store. Well the car we just spent $1400 to fix dropped the transmission or something. We are back to one car that runs well. I guess we need to get another one? Not sure what to do the bills are piling up. 

I was thinking about how quickly everything moves. Bebe has been gone 13 years! Cannon is going to turn 23 this summer, I am 54! The 7th graders remind me frequently of my age. It is just a number and I plan to be around for a long time if I can do anything about it. There have been horrible years, like the 5 year span from 2019-2024. We kept moving but there was pain, hurt, and anger. The events that took place during that time crushed my spirit. I am not happy with how I handled it. 

20 minutes =2.7 miles on the treadmill avg pace 7:25 I hit the benchmark I started 

Breakfast banana baked oatmeal, 2 eggs, 1/4 dug out bagel and CC        400 calories and 25g protein

Lunch tuna, wrap(0 carb), lunch meat, ezek, chive CC                             500 calories/40g protein 

Dinner steak, chick pea patty with sauce, bobos snack                              800calories /46g

at least 1700 calories 

Burned-1.1 mile with Shadow, 2.7-20 minute run, 1.5 outside and 25 min lifting calories 550 running and 150 lifting plus I cleaned the house and kept moving. The 1/4 bagel and Bobo's thing were both not great but not a deal breaker. To me a cheat meal is a piece of pizza or a complete over the top high calorie type thing like desert or something. 

I was so frustrated at Tucker this morning. I called him when I finished running and he was out getting groceries. I said, good because I am starving. He was home when I returned and I saw that he had the big bakery bagels I love. I said that I would have an everything after my shower. I got out ready to eat my everything bagel and there weren't any left. It was nice that he offered it to the kids but what about me? I got over it and had a piece of the parmesan bagel but it was not the same thing. 

Workout 1-easy 15 minutes around loop with Shadow, changed shoes then to the gym so I could be sure to hit my pace on the 20 min run. I did 7:25 pace and that was perfect. It was so hot and stuffy in the gym that I went directly out to the track to do my 15 cool down followed by another easy 15 min. 45 minutes of outdoor workout then back inside to finish 25 minutes inside. Lifted deadlifts, bridge, pallof cable, Overhead DB 20# and something else. Like usual I went to the lower body lifts. I need to get the upper body. 

Sunday 

I could have sworn I wrote all of this but here goes (again)..

After waiting for Campbell to let me know she was all set for pick up from prom I hit the pillow and slept for about 7.5 hours. I was rudely awakened by Cannon's alarm at 5:30 then every 15 minutes for the next hour or so. I decided to just get up and get moving. 

Breakfast 1egg 1 white and 2 pieces of ezek with cc=                                400 calories /25 g protein

Post run chick pea patty and ginger/lime poppi                                          500 calories /25g protein 

Snack 1/1 Bobo and 2 eggs                                                                         220/15g protein 

Dinner crackers with hummus, steak, zero wrap, bite of burger, choc       600 calories/42 g protein 

1800 calories but I am sure I must have had more. I need a better way to record my food. 107g protein

Run was 5 min warm up around the house. to Gh and back for bathroom, Loon loop-river loop hit the trail at old hole and then maple to Pollard-school trail, Gh and home. grabbed water then it was cool down time for a total of 9.3 miles. I stayed in my zone 2 with a little speed at the end.

 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...
