Day: August 17, 2024

Did the 28 min, plus 5 min cool down Weight Loss run again today and managed 1000 additional strides, but only 8 more calories burned. I blame it on my in ear head phones which I spent more time readjusting them back into my ear rather than focus on running, or my pace. I am not breathless which is great. That’s how I felt last time when I opted for an additional 60 minute interval run, which ruined my hips, and turned my calves into bricks for 3 full days. So today it’s just the one run. I’m happy-ish with the results. More steps, more calories burned. Those are wins in my book. I had hoped for a marked improvement, but incremental serves to build a habit more than wild flights of fancy, as far as I am concerned.

Next time I need to use the headphone that go over the top of my head. Better for running in. Sound quality isn’t as good as my in ear ones, but fussing with those was a pain in the ass. I’ll take slightly lower bass in my tunes, for a fuss free run/jog on the elliptical. Still going barefoot too. Why mess which what seems to work for me?

Perhaps drinking the Twisted Tea Mango before I ran was a bad idea, but it is what it is. Runs in the bag now. I’m sweaty. I should go back and swim or something. Or go stand in the rain. Happy Saturday!

My youngest to be exact. Every video she watches is of some person yellow “Oh! Ooooh!” About everything they see, say, or hear, so now my daughter is either a mute, or screaming “Oh! Oh!” At the top of her lungs like she’s just want a billion dollar Powerball lottery, where that sort of enthusiasm would be warranted. Seeing a kitten fall asleep does not. Watching a dog take a treat off the face due to a bad catch attempt does not. Seeing somebody slip on ice in their driveway does not. See where I’m going with this.

If she can’t regulate or modulate her voice she is going to get removed from classes for being disruptive. Catch that label and every subsequent teacher is going to hate your guts. Whether they’ve met you or not. Word travels fast in small schools about behavioural issues. Like it or lump it, that shit will follow you around.

Spent several hours on the road yesterday inbetween errands and appointments. Slept like shit too. But, I have turned over all of my work which was requested late in the day yesterday, so I’m all caught up, and clients can review it by 9:00am Monday when they clock in to the office. Nice!

I’m not sure why the artificial elevated enthusiasm levels resonates with my kids so much, especially my second grader, but who-boy! Does it ever, bruh! Bro, what the heck? Jesus Christ! On a loop, every 15 seconds, all day every day. Take the screen away and it persists. It’s very deeply ingrained now. She’s too little for Sigma, Skibidi Ohio Rizz Toilet, and that sort of cultural babble. Pauly Shore wants a word!  Or some mangled variation of them. Slang nonsense has been around forever, so it’s not going anywhere. Learning the new meanings of things is tiring, and repetitive. Not my new favourite pass time!

Summer break is winding down, as we gear up for the return to school & work. Weird time of year if you ask me. Lots of things changing this September. Makes me anxious just thinking about it. Ciao Bella.
