"On average, almost one-quarter of what teachers say in class is directly related to classroom management."

Something I will try and notice tomorrow.

Apparently, it started with an accident. This coming year will be the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac. Except, the mouth was added the wrong way around… I kind of like them, hence buying a couple that arrived today.

Heart rate went up and stayed up. Though those little dips are where I moved from bar to bike and bike to bar.

I have come to a frightening conclusion.
I am the decisive element in the classroom.

Clearly got the taste for it. Ordered this for dinner.

When your colleagues bring in chilli and they say it’s spicy. And considering that we live in a place famous for their spicy food. You believe them. This stuff was potent but amazing.

2 more weeks and I’ll have done 10000 steps a day for a 100 days. Which I just realised will be a 1 million steps.

After 100 days, I am planning to just switch to walk for 30 minutes every day. At the moment, I am doing ‘last minute’ walks to get myself over the line and it just feels silly.

I said to my friend that I enjoyed that because I didn’t push too hard on the cardio parts. But still, I like to see how my heart rate rises and fall.

Since I go back to work tomorrow, officially the diet starts tomorrow too. So, I ordered one of the McGriddles before they disappear tomorrow just to see what it was like. Yeah, not a fan honestly. Not sure they go together.
