Runners that need some nutritional accountability

@elise4270 - lol, you made me laugh when you said you are lying around eating 3000 calories. And your suggestion for MFP!
@shanaber & @quilteryoyo - the funny thing is I have taught online for a university for almost 15 years. It's just what they are asking us to do here, is a lot. But, I've had an attitude adjustment and decided that I need to get more positive. Me worrying and stressing about it doesn't change a thing! List making is good. I need that today! I've got so much to do. I am so THANKFUL about one thing. I was offered an online class for the university where I teach for March/April and I turned it down because I had the trip to Portland and Amsterdam planned. Now nothing would change in that online class, but having that on top of my regular job, would be TOO much!
Other than eating many peanut M&Ms last night when I was very stressed about school, I've been doing okay on eating. Had my usual salad for lunch which helps. And breakfast is generally never an overeating issue. Having the Invisaligns is helpful too! I'm too lazy to brush after a snack, so I just keep them in!
I'm LOVING the Peloton app for running. She is so positive, I don't want to stop! I'm just doing 3 miles or so because I'm doing a streak and don't want to over do it.

Walked! No dh. I reminded him that he really should be working when they need him, so I’m fine alone. Sun is out and it’s warm... 80F. Time thinking about how to do better. I decided to back to the low carb goal because that worked, managed my hunger, and I thought clearer. After my walk (fasted), I had an avocado, tuna and cheese. No some zombie games, Netflix and maybe a quiz.
I had Ben and Jerry’s yesterday but still braved the scale. Just a reminder to refocus.1 -
@Elise4270 - I found a new thing for you to do (you were looking for another language right?) - check this out for fun 😁
I did mostly well today on getting things checked off my list. We went to Costco early for senior hour but it was packed, line around the building packed and the parking lot full. We didn't even try to park just left and came home we can try again on Thursday.
I still want to get in a little strength workout. If I start small I can hopefully get motivated to do it more.
I finally baked banana bread an ummm it is yummy. I haven't made it for a long time and it really hit the spot.
I had oatmeal for breakfast and a tuna sandwich for lunch. Dinner we are getting from a local small restaurant we have not tried before but heard great things about and it has been around forever. We are trying to support local business wherever we can.1 -
Haha! I WISH I could dance! I haven’t checked the course schedule yet. I talked to my advisor today and she recommended “something fun”, art, music, film or first aid, foreign language or sign language. I’ll see what fits my schedule. There’s a chance I’ll have a Saturday lab class. Poo. I hope not. They assign us, we don’t get to pick (I don’t think).
Eric fixed another dang pizza and I ate half. So I’m even for the day if I stay out of the kitchen. I think I can do it. Last steroid yesterday. I broke the last 2 in half and stretched it out such I has so many, 2 joints, 1 butt shot and oral.1 -
I put jeans on today just to make sure they still fit. I've decided working from home means contacts + sweats one day and glasses + jeans the next.2

Oh and I really want swedish fish and starburst jelly beans1

@elise4270 - yay! on walking!
You can download and use the Peloton app for free for 90 days. I tried it today. OK NOW i know what all the hype is about. I listened to Robin Arzon, that my friend recommended. She was amazing! I just did a 20 minute run with HIIT, but I didn't run fast during HIIT due to foot issues I mentioned earlier. Then I added in a ten minute extra session. She makes you feel so good about running. And they have ones for walking too, @elise4270!
Makes me want a Peloton. A good friend of mine has been raving about it for over a year and hardly ever does the group rides anymore because she is so addicted to the Peloton classes.
Try the running! (Note it wasn't for outdoor running, it's for their treadmill, but who cares, it was really good anyway).
Today has been quite stressful and I'm so glad I jumped up and did a run this morning for my new streak!
I'm recording videos for my classes... and you really have to practice or you sound like a bumbling idiot.
It's one thing to get mixed up live in a class, they can't replay that. So everything is going to take double the time it would normally! In the meantime, I'm getting so many emails for the database side of my job with problems. I suspect it's that millions of kids and teachers are using the various apps online this week too!
Robin wrote a book, Shut Up and Run, which I highly recommend
ETA I see it was already mentioned. I'm on my 2nd DH made margarita. Lol3 -

Hey, do you find that the color blue, particularly the sky, is extra awesome after tequila? I do.1 -

The sky is usually black when I drink tequila lol3 -
I used to love tequila (college) but it never loved me. As with most hard liquor I can't drink much of it and then I am out. There was one impressive party where I was dancing with a friend (dh doesn't dance) and sipping a drink and then I was out on the ground. Dh who was bf then, had to carry me to the car. Dh and our friend had to carry his date to the car too because she was doing tequila shots in the kitchen while we were dancing! Ohh college memories lol!
So @RunsOnEspresso - Swedish Fish and jelly beans with margaritas? Sounds like a terrible interesting combination!1 -
@elise4270 - did you read the entire BTS article? They aren't teaching dancing they are going to have videos to teach Korean! IDK - maybe they will teach you to sing it! I have heard it is easier to learn a language by singing.1
-
@shanaber I've been craving the candy for a few days, not necessarily with the tequila LOL0
-
I always want sugar after I drink. I assume it just messes with my blood sugar. I think the point is not to drink too much of it @shanaber! Haha! I usually stop at one. I guess I get dehydrated or am sensitive a bit, headache and feel bad, even after one. But tequila is the one I tolerate over others. Vodka seems to be fine too.
Yay food!
Did better yesterday! No more eating like a abandoned child! My hip burns, I wanna walk again today, it so nice out... tomorrow write paper, violin, read.. etc...1 -
I couldn't remember the name of this thread earlier and I almost typed the fat kid thread. Ugh, my brain is shot today. (NOTE: I do not think any of you are fat. That just popped in my head and stuck)1
-
@RunsOnEspresso That sounds like something I would do.

Ok - so @RunsOnEspresso in light of that comment I am going to post this that @ddmom0811 sent me 🤣
I think we can all relate and @elise4270 especially since she is binge watching the show!

Also if you click on that star above the page number at the top it makes it a favorite and you can select it from the last under the star at the very top of the page. It is the only way I can find any of the groups cause I don't remember the names and don't like to hunt for them.1

I just go to my notifications and ctl f runners lol0

Omg. That’s me alright.2 -
So I ate the last of my gluten free cookies the other day (like oreos). Yesterday DH grabbed me lunch from a gf cafe (churro waffles OMG I DIED). I also ordered a dark chocolate brownie and cinnamon roll. I am about to inhale the cinnamon roll this morning. I'm going to try to save the brownie for Friday night but I may devour it tonight.
Dinner tonight is brats. I ordered a gf beer to boil them in. It's a brand I haven't tried, Holidaily Brewing Blonde. Here's the brewery https://holidailybrewing.com/beers/3 -
I will look for Shut up and Run. Well, I won't look for it, I will immediately download it, lol.
Surprised I don't know it, as I've read so many running books. I've listened to her several days in a row on my runs, and she helps me so much! These are all recorded classes, I wish I could do the live classes to see what she's saying about virus, though I guess the gym there would be closed too. I suppose I could try a different trainer too! They sent an update that they are adding dancing classes. I can see what they are doing (doesn't take a genius, lol), they are making me get addicted for the 90 days and then BAM, I'll pay for it!
School has been so busy this week. Not teaching yet, just prepping. SO many google hangouts on this or that and planning, etc. I get it, we are a private school, so we need to do MORE than the public schools are doing, but jeez. The kids will be overwhelmed! I've got 4 classes but 2 are small and take place at the same time, so I multitask in there. But all 4 classes are different, so I have to prep for 4 different things. It's overwhelming but I'm on the last class now -- the 2nd hardest. Did hardest first, then the two easier ones and now the difficult one, where I need to make several videos and set up a new environment for them to program online.
Anyway, my eating has been fairly good. Though I'm not logging the Peanut M&Ms and cookies I sneak here and there. This whole thing is reminding me of after 9/11 and how everyone was depressed and we went to comfort foods. The running streak is helping me I think. Though my weight does not budge from a higher number I don't like. But, if I come out of this with that weight, it's all good.
I'm thankful my daughter moved away from NYC last year. @shanaber how is your DD? I keep thinking of her and the other doctors.

Sounds like you are getting there @ddmom0811 . I hope the students appreciate how much time you are putting into this for them.0

@ddmom0811 @T1DCarnivoreRunner and I are battling the weight too. I was anticipating losing a bit through surgery this summer, last time I dropped 4 pound and panicked and added Ben and Jerry's to my diet. Next time, I will not.
I seem to start off fine then in the evening eat for no reason. Yesterday I had a mac and cheese that I thought was cauliflower and turned out to be pasta. I am still burping it this AM. So since I ate carbs I said why the heck don't I just fix the brownies and eat half the pan.
Today
coffee cream
study
pet Beary all day, who got kicked outside all night with his pp buddy. Dumdum hadn't peed in the house for 4-5 months. 3 times yesterday. *sigh* I changed one cats food to the rx low calorie and he might be upset over that as 2 places he peed was by food. The other in Beary's cardboard box he plays in. Anyone need a cat for a nice Korean dish? Anyway, its nice outside, dumdum gets to stay out again for a while.
walks
I really miss being able to get out. It took me 30 minutes to walk a mile yesterday. I kind of regret it. The nerve side has flared up, so, I get to sit my self on the couch indefinitely with ice. There's guy that rides a recumbent bike at the park. I wonder if that my next move. Maybe the flare will pass.
COVID
It dawned on me last night that my docs could get it and not survive it. Then where would I be? a bit selfish, but I do love them for helping me, and i still need them. Or else I'll just wind up in a wheelchair or 653 pounds butt naked on my favorite show, begging for gastric bypass surgery, eating fried chicken all dang day.
School
I'm stalling. I should be studying. They changed the grading for this semester. Letter grades will be assigned but we have the choice to have them changed to a P or NP (pass/no pass), so the grade won't affect our GPA. I do not understand the reasoning. Maybe to salvage the credit for those that can't (due to access) maintain their grade. IDK. If I get a C, I can't imagine that I'd change it to a P to salvage my GPA. But my GPA can take a few C's. DD said she'll have all A's and won't need to change hers. Anywah if I don't get studying I might need a P to cover up a C. (D is not passing in this program).2 -
I ate the brownie last night. And 2 donuts yesterday afternoon. Guess what started yesterday morning? LOL2

oh man... I hope I'm not pregnant. swear. It shouldn't even be a thing right? 49.. ohh 50! in a few weeks unless CV gets me. DH said he was okay with dying. I asked if he needed to be EOD'd? (emergency order of detention-suicide). Said he's okay if the cv gets him. what? you watch too much news or FB or something. stay off it. He insisted his time was up soon. ok buddy, have a brownie. I get it's real, I'm not saying stick your head in the sand, and I doubt you or anyone has truly made peace until you are hours from death...*sigh* drama queen haha!
Guess I should make a nice lunch, might take his mind off of it. Maybe chicken breast and coconut rice.2 -
I think it's possible at 49 or 50 but depends on menopause? You'd think as a woman I should know but not something I've really looked at. Mine was a few days early according to Garmin. Stress? Implant? Both? Dunno.
I don't want covid and I don't particularly want to die. I have jokingly said we are all going to die but I suppose different people cope in different ways. 🤷🏼♀️
Breakfast was noosa and sausage. Lunch will be brat, potato chips, and crunch (carrots to everyone but my dog 🤣). Dinner is pasta.2 -
@RunsOnEspresso What? You don't give your dog carrots? That is one of Tippy's favorite treats!
Food today: Apple Pie oatmeal for breakfast
Super Hero Muffin for lunch
A Gatorade after my longest run ever - 9.5 miles!
Dinner - I plan to have spaghetti with Turkey Trot Meatballs
Snacks - Don't know, but I'm sure they will be had during the afternoon2 -
I definitely don't want to die and certainly not from CV-19 and feeling like you are drowning! I also do not want my dh to die. We just retired, we have plans and places to go. Assuming things ever get back to normal and travel can be a thing again.
@ddmom0811 - I am glad your daughter is no longer in NYC too! Hopefully things won't be too bad for her in Portland. Mine is busy but doing ok. She isn't going into her office any longer but seeing patients by tele-doc from home instead. No need to expose everyone especially the kiddos. She is still going to the shelters one night a week and is now working on a public health council managing the doctors and nurses who have come to help from other states (finally using her MPH).
@elise4270 - the LA County Sheriff just shut down all the gun stores with the Governor's approval. They are worried about suicide and domestic violence. Hopefully your dh is just stressed out with all of this.
Is your dd staying home for now and not moving to CA with her boyfriend? It is great she is doing so well in school but then she has a great roll model!
Also you can definitely get pregnant at 49-50 even as you are starting menopause. Once you are fully into or beyond it you can't.
Finally got to Costco yesterday. Went early to senior hours and it was packed again so left and went back later and it was pretty empty and everyone was making a conscious effort to stay apart. They were out of most all staples, paper products and the like but I was able to get yogurt, butter and eggs and some of the things Hilde needed. Dh went to the grocery store early this morning for frozen veggies and soup and they were completely out. He got some fresh for salad but I really don't want to be going all the time for fresh vegetables even though we prefer them. Hilde needs frozen too so I will likely take her some of what we have left. I was hoping this would be our last trip to the store for a few weeks. From the cashiers at the grocery store if you time it right with when they get their stock you can find what you need but I can't deal with that any longer. So I think I am going to try the online ordering/delivery and see if we can't find what we and Hilde need.
Food was good yesterday. We were up so early and I got a lot done. I even got in a strength workout! I have a new trainer named Hobbes who thought it was great fun. A kiss with every crunch, leaning against me when I was doing planks just to make it even more difficult, and thinking lunges were some kind of new game to play. He even brought me a toy when I was doing the lunges. I did lock him out of the room when I was working with the kettlebell (didn't want to accidentally hit him) and he sat at the door and cried the entire time 😂
Going for a run soon and hoping the trail isn't packed. I am planning to go an alternative way and hit the dirt access road instead though just in case. I really hope the City/County doesn't close it completely.

@shanaber Love the story of your new coach! He's trying to help. Hope you get in a good run.0

@quilteryoyo oh, she gets carrots! She just knows them as crunch, not carrot. There'd be some doggo riots if I didn't give her crunch.1
