Pardon the delay in getting the results out to you - I've been out and about, and there was no time for me to sit down and make sure this was done right. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Last night, I played soccer (7:00-8:30pm) and we had just enough people to field a team (8 men, 4 women). So, we all played the whole game without subs. Then, one of the teams playing in the later game (8:30-10:00pm) only had eight players so they asked our team if anyone was willing to play a second game. Three of us offered to help, but they already had four women and two of us were women. So, we played with six men and six women while they had eight men and four women. They also had at least two subs and we didn’t have anyone to give us a rest. I was tired!
At first, I told them I’d play half a game (about 40 minutes); however, at the halftime break, the score was even at 1-1. It was also a really fun game for some reason. It felt a little slower than usual (thank goodness!!) and I had lots of good practice carrying the ball. At that point in the match, I couldn’t leave them short-handed so I stayed until 10:00pm, making it really difficult to wake up for rowing at 5:15am this morning! 🥱
When I got home last night, I was already feeling sore so I decided to take an Epsom salt bath. It was already late but it was my sanctuary (todays theme)! I was so glad I took a bath and then my husband offered to massage my sore muscles some more, which I couldn’t refuse! I think it was about 12:30pm by the time I went to sleep 😴! I’m a little disappointed with myself for going to bed so late, but the second soccer game was so much fun! I hope everyone has a great day!

Holy cow, honorable mention. 🥳 "Speech, Speech, SPEECH!!!" Okay...okay, I love you guys...
First I would like to mention my agents, Wakako 😸, Hemi 😸 and Poutou 😾 for never allowing me to sleep in even on the weekend because it's breakfast time.
But most of all thank you Shape Shifter community, you're amazing, you're everything and more - toast of fizzy La Croix water to you! 🌊

I’m hoping to get to sleep early tonight. I’m trying to finish up a job application and send some invoices but I guess I’ll submit the invoices tomorrow instead, because I have to go to bed soon if I’m going to arrive at the boathouse by 6:15am tomorrow morning.
It was a little difficult to keep up with the more experienced scullers this morning - due to my lack of sleep and achy muscles - but I had a good row overall. I think I improved one percent since my last sculling session! 😉
I’ve been trying to become more consistent with my sleep but I haven’t been too good about it lately. My 21 year old son and my husband have been up late and I guess I have some ‘Fear of missing out (FOMO)’ going on —
Today is the Juneteenth holiday in the U.S., but I was working to catch up on a few projects. I am attending a movie screening on Thursday to consciously mark the day though —
I also listened to a C-Span radio broadcast of Reverend Wheeler Parker talking about his book A Few Days Full of Trouble: Revelations on the Journey to Justice for My Cousin and Best Friend, Emmett Till The Reverend has dedicated his life to spreading peace, while pursuing justice for the murder and lynching of his cousin. I really like C-Span because it is one of the rare media outlets that feels truly neutral in its coverage of important issues. I’ll include a link to the rebroadcast/recording in case anyone is interested:

Evening yall. I'm back from my weekend but on vacation thru Thursday. I return to work on Friday. I really didn't wanna 😕 😒 😩 😫 😪 come home but stay with hunny bunny. He had a wonderful Father's Day and his gift bag from me was Stuffed with gifts that he absolutely loved 😍. And we went to Golden Corral for dinner with his mom. I asked her if she'd liked to come. And she did and she enjoyed it. I thought that she might wanna celebrate Father's Day with us so.5

@Zaxa2021 I haven’t been logging my calories consistently
I did log a few things today, and I was shocked to see that the tiny pot of cashew nuts that I regularly enjoy has a whopping 350 calories! Thank you for the reminder to log my calories, as I do get lazy with that, and I shouldn’t.
…
I had the same revelation about the high number of calories that nuts added to my diet! They are healthy fats, and a good way to add protein, but the number of calories surprised me once I started paying more attention to portion sizes. Another culprit was dates 😳. I love them but it’s difficult to eat just two unless I really concentrate!
My solution has been adding a dollop of Greek yogurt on top of fruit and then sprinkling a small amount of granola or chopped nuts. on top of fruit. The high protein in the yogurt and nuts seems to keep the (natural) sugar from rushing into my system while the fruit satisfies my afternoon sweet tooth. When I have a good flow of healthy nutrition, I find it easier to savor a couple of chocolate covered raisins or nuts; however, I have to be careful not to overindulge or I’ll go off the rails. So, I try to make it really intentional to enjoy high quality sweets instead of chasing a sugar fix that never satisfies me.
I’m glad you’ve been able to make some discoveries through your nutrition and exercise tracking! Keep up the good work!

Hazel and I went on a hike yesterday. We've got a bit of a drought. We were able to hike down where the water usually flows.
