Drove my car to the shop @ 8:30, walked to my cycling class @ 9:15 from the shop, did 19 miles in the bike and walked home. Three hours total. Warm shower felt great after walking on a cool, damp morning.
Judy, great weigh-in. How do you use My Fitness Pal? Do you enter your food? Exercise? Apps? Community?
14,273 steps today: 2 walks and setting up the church rummage sale. Though I must confess that I spent a lot of time in my desk chair today as well. Always something to do "in the office."
I hope for a good rummage sale. We are certainly able to find junk in our attics. We aren't selling clothes or electronics this year, so it's all "stuff."
judycaretYes, I enter food (which is kind of a pain but keeps me honest) and exercise (minutes). It tells me how many calories I get daily. Really, I haven't been this skinny in 25 years.

There are a number of reasons, for one it reduces trolling of other teachers because you can only comment to another teacher's post if you are logged in. Yet it still allows you to post anonymously, which has some benefit if you want to vent.
In 2017, it's almost impossible to find another website where you can post anonymously. It's standard to register to post on a website, and as a bonus it allows a great many features that improve the user experience.
If you are going to put this behind you, hold your head high and move on. It's not the end of the world but you will have to be honest as you fill out applications and they ask if you have been terminated or non-renewed.
Talk to your principal and ask for suggestions as to what you should do differently at your next job. What were your weaknesses or what led him/her to your nonrenewal? Keep an open mind and listen to what he/she says. Think about what you hear and try to figure out how you can overcome these weaknesses. You may be asked about it in an interview so have your answers ready and well thought out.
If you are going to fight the non-renewal, you should check with the union and carefully read your contract. If the reasons for nonrenewal are not valid, talk to an employment lawyer who is familiar with these kinds of things. If it was due to something protected by law (race, gender, etc) then seek legal advice and contact EEOC or whomever handles it.
Whew--16,325 steps in 3 different walks. Before the monsoons. We actually cut short the last walk--navy skies, driveway-sweeping winds, and rain on the left shoulder. What's with a spring rain coming from the East?
judycaretOooh, your weather sounds dramatic, Elaine. Lovely weather here now that the heat wave's over. I ran a couple of errands this morning and still had time for 10,000 steps. Yay.
Walked 5,000 steps then did my exercise class. Unfortunately, then I gorged, really gorged, on pizza. Just when I was doing so well, sigh. Other than still feeling stuffed, I had a great day.
For some reason I bought and ate almond joy candy bars today. Not a gorge, but still as tasty as pizza.
If it's not raining tomorrow, I hope to tackle the group outdoor ride to get about 7 miles in. If I am going to work my way up to a 3 hour 34 mile ride by the end of August, then I need to stay on track and train.
Men, I love your goal . . . 34 miles is worth working for. Wow!
We came home today, so not so many steps. I did do a library sponsored nature walk. It was lovely, but not the pace I'm accustomed to. 6,155 steps.
I finished reading "The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy" today. Just delightful. If you're a fan of "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" (and who wouldn't be--ha!), you'll love this companion book. "Queenie" takes place at the same time as "Harold Fry." Both very memorable.
