Vegas on Foot

I walked about 5 miles yesterday.  I took a ton of photos.  I ate good food.  It was a lot of fun.  Now, I'm tired, but glad to be back in California.  My ban on processed sugar has started.  I want to be healthy.  I want to feel good, both physically and mentally.  It's a work in progress, but it's going to happen.

Running Away

A dude I met online tells me I'm running away essentially.  I'm ok with that.  He wanted me to stay in town and go out with him tonight.  Well, at first he wanted to go with me.  Umm, no.  I don't know you.  Anyways, I'm ready to take a step away and "recharge the batteries".

100 power cleans at 65 pounds

It took 6:36.  I did the first 30 without stopping.  Then I did sets of 10 for awhile and the last 25 were in sets of 5.  My grip strength was done towards the end.  The 65lbs that seemed light at first had become very heavy.  I think that's true for anything a person tries.  At first you are full of energy, gung-ho, full speed ahead and all that.  Then after awhile you realize the road is long.  It's not as exciting.  You decide to take some breaks.  I have taken a very long break.  It's time to get excited about being healthy again.  I'm getting my brain ready.  It's going to happen.

What an interesting group

I have so many oddball students this year in geometry.  It is quite a group.  A lot of the kids have done drugs for sure.  The 3 new students I have this semester are all older kids who do not like math.  2 got F's last semester and the other is coming back from our continuation high school.  Great, just great.  I am so glad I have decided to take Friday off.  I need to regroup.

Long Day

I ran in the Huntington Beach Half Marathon today with 2 friends from the gym.  I was not planning on doing this run but the kid who was going to run in my place today couldn't so I ran with his mom.  Really, we walked.  I guess we did jog about half of it, but she's hurt so it's good that we took it easy.  I came home and took a 2 hour nap.  I do not need to put my body through that again.  I need to keep telling myself that because they want me to do more long distance races with them.  They are crazy, in a good way.  At least they make me smile.  I hope I can walk tomorrow.

A Good Day

I was productive this morning correcting tests, I went to the gym, I went into LA with a friend and I then finished correcting tests.  Now I just need to tabulate the scores.  I can't believe the new semester starts on Monday.  I only went to Starbucks twice today...amazing for me right now.

Starbucks

I'm keeping them in business.  I need to stop.  I need to stop doing a lot of things.  I saw my therapist today.  We basically talked about love and death and I guess change could be another way to look at it. I'm seeing her in 20 days.  I can't believe I got another appointment so quickly.  My restart day is the 12th.  I should start practicing now.
