Jim, your fitness level is amazing. Good luck tomorrow.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Good morning, everyone!
Another Friday in the books. Nothing like the feeling of a summer Friday! I have a number of calls in the morning, but the afternoon is wide open.
I am signed up for a Sprint Triathlon in downstate Illinois tomorrow. It's several hours drive to get there, but if I wanted to do something before the 2 in August, it really needs to be this weekend because I am going to Florida next weekend and then we have a two week cruise that knocks out at least three weekends.
The issue is that it's going to be raining this weekend. They will have the race as long as it's not lightening outside. Fingers crossed because it's a lot of unnecessary driving if the race is canceled. BTW, check the map Illinois is a very long state. As for the race: 500 swim, 12 mile bicycle and 5K run. Should be fun weather permitting.
Other than that, driving Marilyn and my younger son to the airport on Sunday morning and fishing with my older son Sunday afternoon.
QOTD: Yes!
Breakfast: corned beef hash
Lunch: chicken
Dinner: TBD in downstate
Have a great day, all!

I did not know there was a name for it. I remember reading about it once and it goes back to the time of the crusades. I guess I always believed it was an unlucky day.

Mornin y'all!
it's a wait day here as the window for delivery is 10 to 5. Hopefully it'll be on the earlier end of things. I had to cancel my PT today. I just don't feel up to it all. I'll do the home exercises but not the weighted stuff. I can barely use my right arm effectively. Ugh!
Percy attacked Tange again about 10 minutes ago. I'm pissed at him. Out to the garage today. I'm really frustrated. It's hot here finally and I hate it because it's also very humid. Blah!
QOTD: I know what it's called but I can't ever remember how to pronounce it! I like the day myself and think it's cool. I'm a bit of a numbers nerd.
B: egg burrito and coffee
L: not sure...my aunt is coming over so we'll likely get Thai.
D: probably an egg with a slice of bread and cheese
pic dump!
Good morning gang. We did again another week in the books. The scale printer is still down and IT doesn't know when they will have remote access to reinstall the printer driver. I must have gone back and forth to the scale house about 6 times, and I had 10,000 steps in by noontime. I emailed all the haulers to let them know that I would be emailing tickets to them today since I can print them off from my computer.
I am so very glad that it is Friday. Irvin and I might be going to watch the grandkids do their first race tomorrow if the weather permits. His son messaged him and asked him what size t-shirt he wears because he is ordering pit crew shirts. The shirts will be orange with a big racing flag on the back and the front will have McLaughlin Racing on it. He's so excited and like a kid in a candy store. He just loves anything to do with cars.
QOTD: Does anyone know what the fear of Friday the 13th is called? I do, but I want to see who else knows. While many people are superstitious of Friday the 13th I for one have always found it to be a lucky day. Case in point I bought a $1 scratch ticket yesterday but waited to scratch it today and I won $5. It might not be much, but it is a win.
B: coffee and breakfast wrap
L: salad with grilled chicken
D: baked cod with fresh baby kale, red onion, blue cheese, and EVOO
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!!

Had a reply all typed out but it has been super stressful around here and PT in the morning which went well but as always hurting afterwards. I should have taken them up on their offer of icing while I was there. Babysat the grands until around 9:30 pm. All I ate today was my usual morning shake then 2 turkey rollups around low fat mozz sticks and around 5 oz of plain pork rinds. They're...different. Sipping a Fairlife shake now to bring up my protein and ending the day at 451 calories. I'm going to be mad if my body thinks it's starving and the Saturday weigh-in is disappointing. Really need a good number to report to the dr. on Tuesday.
Night, night!
The $50 bills would be a great idea. Touching many people.

Good Afternoon on this Friday-Eve! I had some meetings/trainings this morning which means the day has flown by so far and also working through the tax payments.
QOTD: I think I would take it and decide on a bill I'd like to pay wtih some of it and then I would for sure pay some forward as well.
I think I am meeting with a friend/co-worker here in a bit for lunch at a pizza place so I am thinking I'll have a caesar salad and the rest of my meals are the same as the last few (pizza on Joseph's flatbread). Exercise, vits and water on track.
Enjoy the day!

The violet light for fished is interesting. So many things that make it easier and more fun. I want to think I would get the money in $50 bills and hand it to homeless people or to young mothers in the grocery store. Once my mom said she was worrying about money and found a $5 bill on the street. That is when you could feed your family for a few days with $5 and it was a big thing for her.
