Happy Thursday everyone!
Yesterday I got home changed threw, not literally, Lilly in her jogging
stroller and ran 2.2 miles. It does not
seem harder to run pushing the stroller physically but I definitely am not
going as fast so it must be, I came
inside and the couch and T.V were there.
I went to the deck and blew bubbles will Lil and tried to avoid my
trigger. She then lead me to books on
the coffee table in front the COUCH and T.V.
I did not turn it on which was hard to not do but read with her. I found myself looking at the clock every minute
trying to get to 5:30. As I sat on the
couch I found myself dozing off and thought of all you nappers out there. We then got up and ran around and I made it
again! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! At this point
I headed back to SPCC for our golf meeting for the tournament coming up on June
6th. When I got home I relaxed knowing I
did my goal but at nine my wife said I am going to do a workout so I said I
would join her. This is showing me I am
getting into a routine where I know if I miss a day I will feel annoyed with
myself! Keep it up all, see you in school!
About Me
- Mr. Phillips
- I have been teaching at SPCC since 2004. I love interacting with students everyday and working with my peers. I also love playing and coaching basketball, playing baseball, and golfing. I love being spontaneous and riding the wave of life where it takes me. I am also very proud to have the best wife, duaghter, and a brand new edition on the way in September. My parents are a driving force in who I have become and throughout my life I have had the best friends around me who love me for who I am. God has guided me in many ways that have turned into miracles.
It was a very successful day so far. My mom went grocery shopping today and she got lots of heathy foods like fruits, and vegetables. She asked me to clean out the fridge and pantry so I thru away all the fattening foods. I threw them away because they are my most important triggers to eating bad food. It felt great to refresh my kitchen full of healthy foods. Now that one of my triggers has been eliminated I feel closer to eliminating my bad habit for good. Good luck to everyone else!
ReplyDeleteGood job Megan!
DeleteThanks Kathryn!!
DeleteThat was a rally good idea
DeleteI thought it was! Thanks Emilie
DeleteHi everyone! So yesterday morning started out kind of rough because I woke up at 6 with a blood sugar of 39...yikes! As I was eating my juice and crackers I went on my phone and as I was getting ready I was watching YouTube videos. I should stop watching YouTube as I get ready because it just distracts me. Later in the day when I got home I immediately went on my phone which I probably shouldn't because I didn't start my homework until about 5. I studied for social studies in the morning in before school. I then had dance from 6:30-7:30 which was really fun because for our opening number for our recital we are doing a Beyoncé mix and yesterday we learned the choreography to a part of single ladies! When I got home I just relaxed and went on my phone. I think something I need to also start doing is to do my homework as soon as I get home. Well, maybe like 30 min after I get home because I need a little break in between. Everyone is doing super well! Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteHenno! I'd say last was good. After my appointment I went to go and hang out with Emma Emilie and Sophia until 6:00. I got home around 6:15. I started my home work right when I got home. I finished my math and science but still had to study for social studies cause I knew nothing. By the time o finished my math and science it was around 7:15 and I had to leave to go to softball which is from 7:30-9:00. I got home around 9:15 and I ate dinner got in the shower and all that. By the time I was done with that it was 10:00. I was so tired I just wanted to go to sleep so I did not study for the test. I went to bed around 10:15. So I wasn't on my phone like at all. But tonight I don't have softball. But I will be studying for the social studies quiz because that got pushed back to Friday ( which I am really happy about). After I study I'll go in the shower eat and do all that stuff. I haven't been able to read my book but I might have some time tonight. I hope everyone is doing good on there projects!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone!! is going well for me today I stayed after school with mrs.carlo till 4:15 After my mom came to pick up we stayed in the school parking lot for about 50 minutes getting yelled at by mom then when I got home I went straight to the park to hung out with friends and some of them I didn't even know but we ended having fun playing ,When I got home I did my math homework then I and my mom went to Walmart to return my beat headphones cause of what " I apparently did " so in some way I avoided the triggers cause of what's going On . good Job On Breaking UR Habbit
ReplyDeleteI'm glad everything went well for you! Keep with it! Sooner or later you won't even enjoy soda anymore. Good luck!
DeleteAfter school Tracey dropped me off. My mom didn't feel very well so I waited about an hour until she felt better. We got our nails done and that took an hour and a half. We went and got frozen yogurt after because we don't have a lot of food. The frozen yogurt place was right next to the nail salon place. I just got home. It wasn't the most productive day I've had but so far it's been the best I could do. Tonight I plan on doing a 30 minute workout I find on Pinterest. Honestly Megan D you have been doing so good. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHi! Today I'd say was pretty good for me. I didn't go out, but I did clean my room after school from 3:40 to 5:00 because they realtor was showing our house to a few people today. I went over to my oldest cousin's house and just got back at around 7:00. I hadn't really thought about going on my phone after school, although I went on for a minute because I had gotten a text from someone. I felt a little sad that I had to clean my room, but I soon got caught up in cleaning and didnt think about it. Anyways, with my 'like' habit, I haven't been doing well. I said it more often then normal, and I'm not sure what I should do to help with that. If anyone has any suggestions to help, I would really appreciate it! Good luck to everyone!
ReplyDeleteMaybe You should have someone point out to you every time you say it. That might help.
DeleteHola!! Today was awesome for me. I got off the bus and went home with Kaitlyn and we went to Starbucks I was really happy because it was my first time going there😊. Then we went to McDonalds and had chicken nuggets with fries. We went outside and played with her dog nugget and went on the swings. We talked for a while and I helped her with math and went outside again. Talked some more and left her house and reached home at 6:48. Texted my mom saying I'm home and I jumped into the shower. When I got out of the shower I texted more people and asked then how they did. I went to clean my room until I heard a buzzing sound. I freaked out and started to wack the bug with a broom even though it was in the air. I broke one of the light bulbs and was laughed at by my mom. I hate bugs😂. Then I went to my room and did my homework and finished. I am proud of myself because I avoided myself from watching TV again. I am happy that I took the TV away from my room and I can go to bed earlier now and wake up fresh. The weekend is going to be hard for me because I am going to my dads house and it would be a challenge, but I am up for it.
ReplyDeleteHey. Today was definitely harder than yesterday. I was back at school so I was busier and doing work. I think doing work made me want to crack my knuckles more. I caught myself cracking them about 10 times. It was very frustrating because I just wanted to stop but I couldn't help it. I didn't even notice I was doing it. I tried to stop by distracing myself but i was still tempted. My snacking today was much healthier. I packed my lunch today with an apple and an orange. It was kinda weird not having some pretzels or goldfish. Jake gave me an Oreo and I started to eat it then I remembered I was trying to stay away from junk food. I got rid of the Oreo and just ate my apple. I was kinda disappointed because the Oreo looked really good but I was happy when I made the right choice by not eating it.
ReplyDeleteHello! Tonight I am feeling basically no negative feelings about giving up my phone soon. I know that right now is easy, but over the weekend my willpower will definitely be tested. I stay up later, plus I cant do my homework in the time with no phone because it will already have been done Friday. I can already see myself sitting on my bed reading but yearning for my phone to text people and watch Netflix. Like Mr. Phillips said, our momentum is a big help in sticking to our plans. Hopefully my momentum will be enough for me to be strong and not go on my phone. There is nothing really to say about tonight though. I keep thinking that I could just return to my habit over the weekend because a reason I chose this habit was because it made me tired and less prepared for school the next morning. Since I don't have to worry about school Friday or Saturday night, I could just go on my phone anyway. I am trying to tell myself that I should I stick to my habit over the weekend, if just to keep the momentum flowing. Mr Phillips also said excuses are all around us, and this excuse is very tempting to use. Any ideas to stay strong and away from my phone over the weekend at night will be greatly appreciated. Lets work together to continue battling these habits over the weekend guys! Don't let excuses get to you!
ReplyDeleteFirst off I would like to thank Mr. Phillips for the idea of leaving my desk prepared for when I get home! I found today to be much easier now that I have a system. First I grab a snack in the morning, leave it on my desk and make sure my desk is clean.Then when I get home I can start working immediately. After I finished my homework I thought it might be a good idea to get outside more now that summer is basically here. So I think on Monday I might start to run around the neighborhood after school. Is this a good idea or should I stick to my normal routine?
ReplyDeleteToday went pretty well at lunch . I was tempted many times but I wasn't phased by the junk food. I didn't even realize that I had fruit for all I my snacks and was satisfied . Today I had dance from after school till 8:50 i was not hungry after school so I was not tempted to eat. When I get home I will eat dinner and study for social studies so by the time I'm done with everything i will exercise and go to bed . That will give me no time to be tempted in using my phone .
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. So today was a really good day! So i had ice skating from 4:30 to 5:10. then i got home and i studied a little then i ate ( Sophia made me supper so sweet ). So i asked Sophia if she wanted to go running and she said yes. so we went running for a little more than 20 minutes. After that we played/ fooled around in the front yard for like 40 minutes or something like that. We went inside and i took a shower. When i went downstairs i was texting some people because i forgot my S.S. text book and so did Sophia ( Such an Inconvenience ). So then the people i asked didn't have it so i gave up and will do the homework tomorrow. I decided i will make a list of things i can do over the weekend that are productive so i don't watch T.V. or go on my iPod. I also changed my habit a little. i will relax ( or do things that aren't productive ) after ) 9:00 as long as all my homework is done. Good job to everyone!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Emilie!!
DeleteNothing to say today but maybe tomorrow because i planned to go back to my local comic store with more money.
ReplyDeleteSo, I am starting to miss You Tube in the morning. it is getting harder and I cannot stop thinking about it so I am trying to do something else like studying more, checking my homework, exercising and other things. Playing outside more and i also played lacrosse with my brother today and got a pretty good breakfast and if you are wondering what it was, it was one of my favorites - "cereal" but yes beside the point it is getting harder and i bet it will continue to get harder.
ReplyDeleteToday was a little different and things didn't go the way I planned because I got woken up at 6 in the morning that my sister got in a car crash heading to work. That was a scare and woke me up immediately. She's fine, she just has whiplash and a sprained lower back. We were at the hospital until 11:00. At the hospital I almost fell asleep in the E.R waiting room but then asked my mom if I could take a walk around the hospital so I stayed up. The rest of day day I was my sister's butler because her medication made her feel dizzy. I was a little annoyed but it kept me busy for the rest of the morning/afternoon. At around 2:00 I felt really tired and my mom gave me coffee since she knew about the project. It gave me energy for about 2 hours and when I went to the park to play basketball with Matt and Nana I had a crash and felt horrible. I now know not to take energy drinks and coffee to stay awake. After that i managed to stay up and help my mom with errands until now. I'll probably sleep earlier since i was up early.
ReplyDeleteYesterday after I got home from school I had gotten sick and have been put in bed. I have seen everyone around the house chewing gum and knew if I ate it I would throw up again. Although this means I will have a different day to type about than everyone else who went to school. When I saw people chewing gum I felt annoyed because they were rubbing it in my face.
ReplyDeleteYesterday wasn't as good as my previous days. I wasn't as focused and I think I was psyching myself out because of all the upcoming tests and exams. I was very worried and I think that's what caused me to do it more than usual. So I'm just going to remind myself to keep a clear head and I'm going to study hard early for my tests do that I'm not worrying about them. As for snacking, I feel pretty accomplished as I've been eating healthy for the past week and having a small snack like an apple whenever I'm hungry. I've also been exercising and doing core, arm, back and legs workouts every other day. In a little disappointed though because even though I did work out last night, I wanted to get up this morning and do one of the days on my 30 day challenge but it was s rest day anyways so I'm going to plan on doing it tonight.
ReplyDeletelast night was good i had all of the time in the world it felt. i got home and did all of my home work, and studied. last saturday i bought some lacrosse string and it came in the mall last night. so i did my home work. and started to string up my new larcosse head after i was done i played some wall ball with it. after i was done with that i took a shower, ate dinner and relaxed in my bed. wile i was relaxing i decided to watch netfix then i went to sleep.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was amazing!!! I packed my own lunch (with fruit) and avoided unhealthy snacks. And I went with my mom to Salem and I did not watch t.v all day and i'm proud of myself. I was also able to go to this seafood place and I got the best lobster mac and cheese ever!!! And instead of soda I got water.
ReplyDeleteMy new habit helped me out a lot yesterday. I got dismissed at the end of the day and my mom dropped me off at home because she had an eye doctors appointment and I had a game. I got home around 3:10 and started to do my homework. I finished around 4:40 so that gave me time to get ready for my game. My game went late because of extra-innings so I got home at 9:00. I had a quick slice of pizza my mom ordered and some buffalo wings. I was glad I didn't have to finish anymore homework because when we were warming up for my game I got hit in the knee with a ball and I wanted to ice it. Hope everyone is doing good so far!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I had a full day. I went to school and came home around 3;45. I then had to go to my game and i didn't get home until 8;00. I then had dinner and then did my homework. I always do my homework right when i get home from school, so that threw me off a bit. After I finished everything, it was about 9;30. I was finally able to jump into my book. I fell asleep while reading it and i don't remember when I fell asleep. I'm having an amazing time with my project and i hope everyone else is too!
ReplyDeleteToday, today was different for me. So when i got home I was able to avoid my, "oh lets just sit here and go on my phone for a while" stage because my 3 nieces and my nephew were at my house. While I was playing with them i was debating on skipping my run, but i stayed strong and decided to take it. I just got home from it a few minutes ago and i feel good now because i still have energy. I plan to do my homework as well as take a little bike ride before i finally settle in for tonight. This project has taught me that i am capable of not playing video games and going on my phone as much, and as well as not going on my phone before i go to bed. This project i am having fun with so far, and i hope i have fun with it throughout.
ReplyDeleteOn Saturday it was a different schedule than the week days. I didn't come close to my bad habit because I was outside all day. I woke up around 9ish and started cleaning. As I was cleaning my aunt told me that I had to do go do my hair because we are going to a cook out tomorrow so her and her kids left and I got ready and walked all the way there at 12 . It took me 2 hours and 30 minutes to finish my hair. After that I got picked up and went to a birthday darty kinda thing and I was there until 10:30pm so durning that time I shot hoops ate food talked and chilled. Saturday was a great day and I'm glad I didn't come close to my bad habit which is sitting on the couch for hours using my phone and watching TV. Good luck to everyone else!
