Nearing the end

-

 It is freaking day 74! I am going to do although I really wanted to sit down with a drink after the day I had but that is not what I need to do. I will go for my walk and finish strong. 

I did it. Day 75. I got a 10 mile run this morning. Back to back 45 minute workouts. Then 

Thursday Day 74

Breakfast-3 eggs -1 yolk 1/2 cut out bagel with cc                   350 calories 22g protein

Lunch-yogurt-berries-granola. sausage and peppers, mozz       900 calories 40g protein

Dinner -1/2 turkey/cheese sandwich, bacon, eggs, wrap,         700 calories  30g protein

bite bagel, egg, cheese, bacon                                                    125 calories  4g protein 

2100 calories possibly and 96g protein 

I am not sure if this correct but a higher estimation is better. I am now off for my walk. Right now I have 17k steps so I will hit my 20k actually hit 26k

I have been so good and focused during the 75 days that I never had cravings. When I see the food, I sorta want it but I did not really feel the deep need to eat it. Today however that has changed. I want to eat the unhealthy stuff. I would love a slice of that steak and cheese pizza but I know it will never be as good as I think. I would love a glass of red wine. I want one of each! I guess I will grab a bottle of red wine, white wine, and tequila just in case. Limes are also a smart idea plus a jalepeno if I am going to put it in my drink. 


Well, I did it. I am so proud. It feels odd to be done.

 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...
