    4. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. 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.

    8. Check on conference; follow up on seminar proposal. 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). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.
    10. Design minibuttons with school logo, mascot, crest. Minibuttons that say THIS IS WHAT ANTIFASCISM LOOKS LIKE. White text on black bars on red background. Create buttons at library.

    Yesterday was something of a bust. I'm feeling better today. Still bummed about the conference, but not paralyzed. Which is good, because I've got a TON of work to do!

    Well I made the table fee back yesterday but I’m still hoping today is much better. I needed a 600 weekend to make Christmas less stressful. I found out about a show on Friday in a small town about an hour away. I’m waiting for them to send me the vendor pack today to register. I won’t be making anymore stock just taking what I have left.

    @clicketykeys sorry you had a disappointing response.

    @Faebert sounds like a good time was had by all.

    I have good news and bad news!
    The good news is that Marley has stopped being sick and hasn't been sick for the past 48 hours.

    The bad news is that Casey has been sick twice (every night at bedtime) for the past 48 hours.

    If I never ever ever had to clean sick again it would still be too soon.

    @Faebert I'm so sorry you and the bf had a fight. The DH have been arguing a lot recently too. It's never fun.

    @Bex953172 That's great about Marley and terrible about Casey! I fear the days that I will have to clean up vomit. Lol

    Haha I don't mind the odd sick.
    But when it's been everyday (sometimes. Multiple times in a day) then the smell really starts to get to you.

    I reached the end of my tether the second to last time marley was sick. She woke up crying, I ran up asking if she felt sick, she said no no sick no sick, so I thought she must of had a nightmare. For her to projectile on me. And then she lay right back down and went to sleep and I was just sat there like oh my god.

    Gonna have a very easy day after two days of terrible indulgences.

    JFT, 12-16-18

    1. Log all my food good or bad ✔️ Including the several pieces of candy that I had
    2. Do laundry!!! ✔️ I have one left but it's mainly towels and sweatshirts
    3. Fold laundry ✔️ This takes a surprisingly long time because I do 3 loads at a time and fold the clothes a certain way plus 1/3 of it had to get hung up
    4. Food in crockpot!(going to do this now!)❌ The chicken I was going to use had gone bad... My fault
    5. Actually eat dinner!✔️ We had a throw back meal to when we were really poor. A pasta-roni type thing but I beefed it up with 2-1lb chicken breasts. Lol. I actually got full before my plate was empty. The DH happily finished it for me. Lol. It was still tasty though.
    6. Do the dishes🔳In progess. A pot, a pan and a coffee cup
    7. Food shopping if I feel up to it✔️
    8. Bed early(I've had too many late nights recently) ✔️ Soon. I'm exhausted


    I'm going to do this now so that if I don't get up when I want to tomorrow morning I can still say I posted them. I may not remember them, but at least they are up here.

    1. Up by 6
    2. Yoga! Even if it's a short one! Just do it!
    3. Remember to bring lunch, oatmeal, headphones and coffee cup to work
    4. Work 815-515
    5. Gym after work (this might be too lofty a goal)
    6. Pork chops for dinner
    7. Dishes right after!
    8. Clean out fridge!
    9. Bed early.

    Hope everyone has a good night/day! I'll try to hop on during work tomorrow!

    December 3rd: 160.75
    December 10th: 160.75
    December 17th: 164.5

    Not super surprised about this one, as I've been eating like a pig all week! I had three Christmas parties, and on the days following the parties I overate due to tiredness/ hangover. So really, not surprising.

    I will be better this week. There are some potential overeating occasions, but fewer than last week. I have to have a strategy at each to stay in control... To not go overbooked on that occasion, but also not to end up feeling rubbish the next day!

    Last week at work before Christmas....I tell you what, I really need a break!

    These last few weeks at work have been really tiring, I feel completely drained. And not only have I had normal work stress, I've also had interview prep/stress on top of it. So it's been pretty relentless!

    And it isn't going to let up this week because I have been asked back for a second interview :smile:

    They seem to want to wrap everything up by Christmas, which is a bit quick - everything seems to be moving rather quickly without much time to reflect on whether I really want it. Or rather, whether I want it ENOUGH to justify the pay cut that will come with it.

    This week most of the preparation I do will be about researching the work/role to figure out (as far as is possible) if it would be a good move for me.

    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - Be in the green
    - 3+ bottles water
    - No alcohol

    - No eating whilst standing
    - Savour every bite
    - Monitor fullness after each meal
    - Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
    - Give myself credit!

    - Finish work at 6pm latest
    - Read Beck Diet Solution
    - Prep for second interview
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights out by 11

    Current calorie balance: 0

    So I tried stevia for the first time thanks to the recommendation from @TimeToReduceFat It's not bad. It has a bit of an aftertaste but I bet any new kind of sweetener would. Just because it's not what I'm used to. I think I will try to gradually add it to my coffee. Kind of like a little sugar and a little stevia and then switch the proportions so that I finally cut out the sugar completely. We will see how it works I suppose. Lol

    So it's Monday...yay. Lol. I got up at 6:30 instead of 6 but it is definitely better than the 7:30 that I have been doing lately. Ran out of coffee pods last night and totally forgot about it this morning so I had to run around the corner and pick some up at a convenience store. Finally tried the stevia with this cup and I picked up my husband's energy drinks. I don't think I am going to do any yoga this morning but I am going to go to the gym after work. Even if it's just for a half an hour. I need to do something. I need to get off my butt and move! I won't be able to take any walks on my break until after the new year because...I won't get a break until then. LM is off today and tomorrow and then MG is off from Wednesday until after the new year. So it's no breaks and open to close every day...Woohoo. We are not going to let this happen next year. Lol. I think we had 4 days this month where all three of us were actually in the branch together.

    I did all the laundry that was hanging out on the bedroom floor yesterday so now I actually have space in the bedroom to workout or do yoga without disturbing the DH, in the evenings. I think I might do that today too. I don't think I specified on my goals WHEN I had to do my yoga. Lol.

    Okay. I should probably go get ready for work. Lol.
