Sunday Day 63 on 13 more to go

-

 I can believe it has been 63 days because it feels like I have been doing this a long time and I am tired. Although I got 8 hours of sleep, I woke up sore and tired. Up at 5 am and laid there enjoying my comfortable bed for another 30 minutes. I fed the dogs and got my coffee brewing. 

Breakfast coffee, 3 eggs-1 yolk, dug out asiago bagel, cc                              400 calories/25g protein      note asiago bagels are 360cal/18g protein digging out the center saves about 100 calories! 

Lunch 2 eggs, black beans, wrap, cheese (110/6)                                           360 calories 26g protein 

Snack salad and chicken salad with evoo                                                       300 calories 30g protein

Dinner chicken, wrap, beans, cheese                                                             450 calories  35g protein 

protein pudding                                                                                             200 calories  15g protein 

about 1800 calories 130 g protein 

I have been so hungry. Could it be the apple cider vinegar pills? 

I got my first workout-around campus and up jockey cap with the dogs, then home and lift at the gym I was so tired and exhausted that I just couldn't do anything. My brain has been locked. I am frustrated about our current money situation, just as it seems to get better with raises the cars die and we have increased expenses. I just want to go out to eat, play pickleball and drink good wine. Speaking of wine...Tucker has a game next Friday on my last day of 75 hard so what will I do? I guess wait and see if it is home or away and then decide what to do. 

I also want to learn more about the mediterranean diet. It seems like lots of veggies, beans, and evoo.

 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...
