Scale goals

End of 2017: 174.6
February 2018: 173.6
March 2018: 179.6
July 2018: 189.6
August 2018: 187.4
September: 186.4
October: 185.4
November: 188.2
Today: 189.2

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut

1. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding.
2. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Regular: needs practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
3. Find out if a second masters pays the same as an EdS (email HH). Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook.
4. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.
5. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Barn order: stapler, pencil sharpener
6. Keep track of medical stuffs. Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Gifts for dad and DH - look for licorice puffs (Dollar Tree), cookbook. Fix laptop bag. Find a recipe for squash soup that looks good.
8. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
9. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, Harvey Mansfield, or Robert Adams). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.

So, I apparently didn't gain weight while I was visiting family, which is awesome, because there was SO MUCH FOOD. Tomorrow I need to go to the Y by the mall, and the downtown library, and I have a therapy appointment. I think I want to try to get to the library in the evening when parking is free.

Do you have a link to your blog posts? I would love to read them if available??
Also ... how do you do the "spoiler" posts? I would like to do that with my weigh-ins that I plan to start doing weekly.

Happy New Year's to All!

Checking in after a two week hiatus. I totally did wrong over my break and gained back the few (4) lbs that I had lost. Way overate, did not log anything, and very little exercise so I'm not surprised with the results of this train wreck.

On a positive note, we accomplished the two home projects (put in shelving in master closet, extended garage roofing so that we can keep our travel trailer covered) plus filed for homestead exemption for our new home. Oh, I almost forgot: I also unpacked at least 7 boxes so our spare bedroom is finally starting to look like it should

I also visited my Mom whom I had to tell that she won't be going back to her apartment and will now be permanently at the ALF. She took it better than I thought but has been having some off days; I guess that's to be expected. The doctor confirmed that she also has had another mini stroke so we're crossing our fingers and saying our prayers that she won't have any more b/c that would mean even more loss of brain function and mobility

I am more than ready for another year of JFT so I'll have to park my weight gain and vacation derailment so that I can move on starting today.

I have not read the almost 300 posts that came in while I was away but that will be one of my goals during this week. I've tons of e-mails waiting in my in box so I have to be brief today:

JFT 1/7/19
_Log, log, log everything I eat
-Water, water, water
_Read, read, read at least one page of posts

Hugs to all

@Sofia_Alegria Glad to see you back! I'm so sorry about your mom. That has to be terribly difficult! But yea for the home projects! I think we all felt the "pain" of the holidays. I know I sure saw my scale go up!

Joan started a new thread for 2019 so we could all start fresh with the new year. I'm sharing the link with you, below. Come and join us there!

Here is the link to the 2019 thread!! I hope you all come over there with me!!!!! 2019 will be our year, but no matter what, the friendships formed on unbreakable!

Thanks much for your prayers, hugs and words of encouragement. They are much needed. You know, you are so right. I do have a lot going on and that's why I overate while on vacation. Work gives me structure and allows my mind to be kept busy. In a way, I guess I'm back to the grinding mill even if I can't wait until retirement 3 years from now
