T had bought some crazy delicious bacon for breakfast today with eggs. Well the bacon was so good I had the genius idea to use the rest of it and buy supplies to make BLTs and a wedge salad!
Seeded Jewish rye bread, big beautiful tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, red onion, mayo, blue cheese crumbles, ranch dressing, cracked black pepper, deli pickles, and the BACON!!
Neither of us could recall the last time we had a BLT, mmmmmmmm. We’ll be eating that again!
Oh hey @charleskelley! Great show, what a fun time! (at The Fillmore Silver Spring)
My push ups are getting better each day. Snuck a few in at the office today, but generally I’ve been doing them after work!
1st WIW of the month
Monthly Measurements
January 2016 – February 2016 – March 2016 – April 2016
Not sure what’s going on with my thighs – could be my human error of measurement. Le sigh.
For Lent this year I gave up using my phone for social media in bed. I was pretty successful. I only had 2 days where I said “screw it” and used it – to dull some work stress. I also only had like 2 slip ups of clicking on like Instagram and them stopping myself.
I’m going to really try to continue to make an effort to not use my phone for social media in bed. Ideally (in the not too distant future) work stress won’t keep me up at night and social media won’t keep me up at night.
I’m also on day 5 of the 100 push up challenge. I’ve done a mix of mostly wall push ups, with some elevated (table/chair seat push ups), and then push ups on my knees. Most memorably (besides T going full on Marine push ups) was doing wall push ups in the fancy fully enclosed bathroom stalls of the Ritz Carlton on Saturday throughout the wedding reception I was at in my pretty dress. No excuses, play like a champion!
I just signed up to try Blue Apron. I’m sick of what I’ve been eating and falling into “food traps.”
My beloved Elvis Duran (NYC based radio show) was offering a free shipping deal and as a new customer I also got $20 off my first order.
First box comes Tuesday, I’m excited to test the waters – I think T will really get into it too!
Wedding ready!
Got my 100 push ups in yesterday, mostly wall ones. T got in on the action briefly to show off his Marine skillz!
My relationship with my boss is toxic – I just had yet another gritted teeth confrontation with her (which I initiated) that according to my Fitbit spiked my blood pressure 30 points.
So many surveys say that people leave jobs due to their supervisors (in this case she’s a Dean) and she is certainly top of the list (even above long hours and a joke of a salary). She is single handedly making me reconsider staying in higher education altogether.
I’ve recently been losing sleep over my growing frustrations with her. Last night I was up between 3-6am. A few weeks back I wasn’t able to fall asleep until 4am two night in a row.
In the middle of the night I keep notes in my phone trying to get my concerns out of my head. I hate that I feel like a broken record to T and those close to me about work.
The DC Metro search for something “higher education adjacent” in the private sector is on. If you know of any good companies please send me your recommendations. For the sake of self preservation I need to end this toxic relationship this summer.
Last May I did 100 pushups a day for the ENTIRE month. I got KILLER results and I was super happy!
THIS YEAR, I am doing it again except ill be doing 100 push ups a day for TWO MONTHS. April 1st- June 1st!
JOIN ME (for 1 month or 2!) I already roped in 2 coworkers!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO 100 PUSH UPS IN A ROW!!! As long as you get them in throughout the day, you’re good to go! I started out doing sets of 10 on my knees, I gradually upped that number until I was able to do regular pushups. By the end of the month I was banging out 30 regular push ups in a row! Which for me is A LOT!
Get your before pictures taken, because trust me, you will be blown away by the difference! WE START WEDNESDAY!
