    I know it's the end of the year but I would like to see if I can make it thru this 1 day. I also hope it's ok to just jump in at anytime like this...

    JFT:
    1) eat my planned meal plan, & if have to change it for any reason, then adjust but don't blow it!!!
    2) resist the temptation of cupcakes that are in my office by coworkers. I have the only table in our entire office suite.
    3) resist the other temptations that may be offered to me.
    4) drink at least 4 glasses of water
    5) go to bed at midnight
    6) make list for tomorrow
    7) get things ready for tomorrow

    Linda (elbee1)

    Welcome! Wonderful that you joined us---it's great that you are here at this time of year---keep setting daily goals, come on here every day (I've slowed way down in coming here daily, but I can tell you checking in here frequently has been a huge part of my 30lb weight loss this year) and by January 1 you will be off to a good start!

    Peace and joy!

    Recap W 12/19
    1) Walked dog before work ~ last time before sunrise this year since I will be off work starting Friday ~ yay! 3.61 mi 1:04:40 / stretched = happy dog & happy me :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings = Fitbit 19,449 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 boom! & 70 floors :smiley: Very active in evening again (see #4).
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / stick w/ plan / net calories green / 14c water = Meals and usual snacks are fine, but extra evening snacking is happening. I do it b/c I've been so busy/active in evenings after a full workday, and getting tired before I'm done w/ to-do's. I know this busy-ness will end soon, so not going to stress about it. I'm happy that I haven't let workouts slip. Net calories -212 :/ , sodium -236 (not bad), sugar -15, fiber & protein ok, 14c water (yay).
    4) Evening: bank ~ pay property taxes & cash for gifts :smiley: / put out snowman decorations :smiley: & found the one item I've been looking for ~ so happy / WASH DISHES :smiley: full dishwasher plus hand washing ~ wow / other? 2 loads of laundry & everything taken upstairs AND put away! Many trips upstairs at home. :smiley:
    5) Unplug 9:00 :smiley: / FLOSS :smiley: / RETAINERS :smiley: / set/verify alarm (no dog walk Th), bed & tv off 10:30 :smiley:

    JFT R 12/20 ~ My last day at work for the rest of the year! :D I am off with Christmas & New Year's holidays, weekends, vacation & personal time. After tomorrow, hubby is done working until next year too. <3 We're not traveling except for day trips during that time. My daily MFP goal will be to post using my computer at home ~ I don't mind logging food using my phone, but dislike posting on my phone.
    1) Meals & usual snacks prelogged / net calories green / 14c water
    2) Workplace mindfulness hike at lunchtime ~ hoping the drizzle ends
    3) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings
    4) Evening: choir 6:30 + remember to take cards / put clean dishes away / read Sunday ads / declutter? other to-do's?
    5) Unplug 9:30 / floss / retainers / set/verify alarm ~ maybe 8:00? / bed & tv off 11:00 (youngest niece's last Christmas concert is 1:00 and 1+ hour drive time)

    7. Therapy exercises. Chop celery. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth. In bed by 10:45; devices off by 11.

    JFT Thursday
    1. Therapy exercises. Feed cats. Meds. Tea! Log 1 item. Duo.
    2. Strength/balance. Finish grading late work. Grade finals.
    3. Do something school-related. Vocabulary prep? See below.

    6. Therapy exercises. Chop celery. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth. In bed by 10:45; devices off by 11.

    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: 190.6

    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" at thrift stores.
    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). Revise Machiavelli Prince Analysis - Part 1 paraphrased explanation, Part 2 quote & leader choice & explanation, part 3 reflection. Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook.
    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.
    7. Gifts for dad and DH - look for licorice puffs (Dollar Tree), cookbook. Fix laptop bag.
    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). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.

    Pretty stoked! Asked the therapist about starting running again and she went WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! but when I pointed out that I was asking because my appointments this week are closer together (going back Friday) and that it's supposed to be cold and rainy so I'd be inside on a treadmill, she had me get on the treadmill there to check my gait. I walked for a little at 4.0, nice quick pace, and then did 5 minutes at 5.8. WOW that was tough! She said that if I started to get fatigued to dial it back to walking so that I could make sure I wasn't favoring that foot again. So hopefully tomorrow I can run a little! :D

    Did NOT get all the grading done. Just couldn't get through it, alas! I'll have to do more tomorrow. Maybe I can finish it off then...

    woohoo to the treadmill!

    Ugh. Just had to redecorate the WHOLE tree.
    Baubles, tinsel, beads, lights.. THE LOT.
    Darn kids.
    The bottom branches were a mess! They actually managed to tangle the bottom branches to the one above. There were gaps everywhere where you could see the "stem", it looked haggard.

    Anyway, It's now decorated beautifully if I do say so myself! I'll post a pic in a sec! And it's all even with no gaps :D
    So I'm happy.
    And ill be on tree watch until Christmas day LOL.

    JFT - Thursday December 20
    2L of water
    Calories in Green
    Only 1 Evening Snack
    5 something at bathroom break
    5 fruit/veggie
    Walk 1 mile
    Write in Journal
    Be Conscious of my choices! Do not disappoint myself!

    Only 2 more projects to finish! I feel like we have accomplished so much this year with little stress and no arguments!!!!!

    I delivered one ladder today and my daughter took hers home last night. I’ll post pics shortly. Making one for myself is one of my remaining projects.

    I received my access code and was able to put my first EI report in today, I am praying this means I’ll have a deposit before Christmas. It sure will help with the last minute things and groceries!

    We went to our Grandson’s Christmas concert today, watching children perform is one of my favourite holiday rituals.

    @maryrobinson40 so happy to see you and @toaljasa.

    @faebert hope you have a great evening with the BF

    @cschmitz110515 I so agree with you about posting on a computer rather than phone. It’s why I’m not posting a lot right now. Have a great holiday!
