    JFT, 2-25-19

    1. Log all food :)
    2. Drink at least 4 bottles of water :(Only 3 and a bit but I did have a big cup of tea...so that counts right?
    3. Go over M's :)Didnt spend nearly as much time there as I thought I would which is actually a really good thing because it gave me time to do a whole bunch of other things.
    4. Clean bathroom(yes that means the shower!) :DEverything BUT the shower. Lol. I need to go buy a squeegee so that I can really clean it with minimal effort. Our shower is very poorly designed but this should help a lot!
    5. Try out new drain stopper in the kitchen sink/DO DISHES :):):)The drain stopper was amazing! Best $7 I spent on a kitchen related item! And I got all of the dishes done in a reasonable amount of time! Including the frying pan I used! Lol. I didn't leave anything soaking...is it strange how good this makes me feel? LOL
    6. The gym at some point! :)Spent 40 minutes on the treadmill reading my friend's story. I didn't realize how long I walked until I looked up at the timer and it said 39:45. I was shocked! Lol.
    7. Figure out dinner! :DWe attempted to have honey sesame chicken with broccoli and rice. But I royally screwed up the chicken/broccoli part. Matt is a love and ate it all and didn't complain! There are leftovers but I don't know if I am just going to chuck them or not. Lol
    8. Spend time with Matt :)Hung out on the couch for a while and then went to bed.
    9. Bed at a reasonable time! :)Was definitely an early night. We were in bed with the light out by 9:15 and I was asleep probably by 9:30. Lol.

    So it's 7(or will be when I finish this). I got up at 6:10. Made Matt lunch and sent him off to work and now I'm sitting here on the couch wrapped up in a blanket and enjoying a cup of coffee. I'm in the blanket because it is FREEZING in the house. We left one of the heaters off accidentally and the temperature got down to like 25F last night. It's back on now so hopefully, it'll start to warm up soon.

    So yesterday I went over M's to talk about the Community Acupuncture Clinic she wants to open. Pretty much it boils down to a clinic that focuses mostly on lower/lower middle-class income people. To the marginalized and traumatized. People who have had bad experiences with medical doctors and such. M gave me homework last night that I was reading. It sounds like a really awesome thing. I can attest to the wonderful things that acupuncture can do. M has been doing treatments on me for years. So pretty much my job is going to be the first person the clients encounter. I smiling friendly face who is genuinely glad to see them and tells them so. Someone who can make them smile and let them know that they are in a safe place and that we want them here. I'll also be doing the books and making appointments and things. The clinic will run on a sliding scale price wise. We will charge anywhere from $13-$35. And that means that a person can pay anything they want in that price range for treatment. There will also be packages for people who need to be seen often and we will give them a deeper discount. We will deal a lot with clients who live on a fixed income or who don't have an income at all. It is our job to love them and to treat them like they are awesome people that we are happy to see...because they are and we are. So today we are getting back together and are going to make steps of the things that we need to do to get this thing rolling! I am beyond excited! This really sounds like the perfect job for me!

    Okay! Enough rambling! Onto goals! Lol

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    Today: 190.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Purchases: 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. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams).
    2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. 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. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
    4. Curriculum Development: 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. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays!
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
    6. Medical: Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Feb 7 12:00 w new. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: Audition for FTN (Feb?) Audition for Avenue Q March. Audition for Christie March. Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.

    I generally leave my power cord at school and this morning my battery was drained cuz I worked so hard. So I'm at school and plugged in now. Gonna be a busy day. Cross your fingers for me!

    Hi all, pretty rough day yesterday. My older daughter was too sick to go to school so lots of scrabbling about childcare-wise and then I was rushing around trying to leave early to get home to her. Did not drink enough water, tired from her waking me in the night, plus stressed plus a squabble with my own mum = some poor decisions with food last night. Somehow managed to stay under goal due to activity but I didn’t sleep enough and didn’t hydrate or feel myself sensibly and feeling the effects this morning. Not sure if she’ll be well enough to go today but at least have a plan if she needs to stay off. So I’m starting today a bit unsure of the plan. Can only do my best!

    Monday goals recap:
    - morning workout ✅
    - Pack snacks, buy milk and coffee on way to work ✅
    - Water! ❎ forgot my bottle
    - Reply to emails @ lunchtime - medieval workshop?! ✅
    - Call potential party venues again - get something booked! ✅
    - Leave on time ✅ early actually as oldest still sick
    - early night ❎

    Tuesday goals:
    - morning workout
    - Pack water bottle - use it!
    - Home lunchtime? Run?
    - Cancel hot yoga if P still sick
    - Eat proper meals, not just snacks
    - Early night (non negotiable)

    Ugh! Fed up. Time to get my head back in the game x

    Truly hope she gets well soon. And as for yourself.… sister, lighten up and give yourself breathing room.
    It's going to be ok. You're doing an awesome job and will continue to fight another day. Hugs.
    I love you. We got this👏🌹

    - Finish the laundry - :| Well I'm sneaking up on it, but new things keep showing up. Finish was the wrong word. Perhaps do 1 or 2 loads is better. That I did.

    JFT Tuesday

    - Get up at 3:30 to go to the gym so I can get home in time to do things before work. :)Got up at 4:00. I'm calling that close enough. Upped my cardio a little today. It triggered my asthma, but it was a quick recovery so I was able to do a little core work.
    - Make bed and tidy up so that contractors can work on the new floors. :)
    - Take dogs to doggie day care - :)
    - Get to work by 8:00 - :|8:08, but close enough. Man I love flex time!

    - Stay away from the vending machine today.
    - Begin evaluation of 1st quarter data for Global Lab Unification project
    - Sort out responsibilities for Global LOD's
    - Begin writing a method for new testing
    - Leave at lunch to talk to the contractor about schedule and materials for stairs
    - Lunch under 300cal
    - leave work by 5:00 (if I sneak out at 4:00 I can get a walk in)

    - Drop off kid at play practice. They find out what parts they got today. I'm excited for her and a little nervous she'll be disappointed.
    - Chicken tacos for dinner
    - No dessert! I have a weigh in Thursday I gotta be good. If I gain I have to pay into the pot.
    - Laundry
    - Bed by 10:00. 4:00AM comes awfully early when I get to bed late.

    Hey all! New here.. so yesterday started off so well. Then I went to the store with my oldest and we got donuts 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Today is a new day though! Coffee w/ sugar free creamer and a chobani flip for breakfast. Lunch will be a low carb tortilla w/ turkey, pepperoni, provolone and a little bit of creamy Italian dressing. I’ll have a pickle on the side. Not sure about dinner yet. Some form of chicken and veggies I’m sure.

    Calories in Green
    Walk 1 Mile
    5 Fruits and Veggies
    Only 1 evening Snack
    5 something at bathroom break
    Write in Journal
    Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices.

    I have a busy day planned. I am going to go help a friend start packing up her house and decluttering to put on the market. I don’t 100% agree on her life choices right now but she knows my feelings and I’ve told her I would support her. I’m not really looking forward to the day.

    My weight is up again. I think it is linked to constipation that I am frequently getting. I had talked to my doctor about it and she recommended some medications that would help. I have been hoping it would fix itself but it’s not so I will buy some of her recommendations today.

    Like everyone else, I am getting very tired of Winter. This has been the longest cold spell in Edmonton since Jan 1998. I saw a report last night that it was the coldest in Calgary since 1979. I also saw a weather prediction that it will warm up a bit in The last two weeks of March, but then we will have a ferocious Spring going into late May. I am going to look up the swimming schedule and see if I can go get some swimming in during the day.

    Well I should get off and go get dressed to head out into the cold.

    Have a great day

    Faebert- I hope your daughter feels better today and that the tiff with your Mom was very minor.

    Clicketykeys - Dreams that are so real tend to stick around for hours. I have been having vivid dreams almost daily since Christmas. I feel I should buy a book to interpret them. Hope your soak was nice and relaxing.

    Hegoddard0928 - exciting about your Godmother’s opportunity, is this going to be happening soon for you? Yay for clean dishes!!!! How do you read on a treadmill, I get so dizzy on them as it is!

    Bex953172 - Good luck on the no carb day. Isn’t today Casey’s birthday?

    Nlmackey98 - Great advice for 13ecca4, I was going to say the same thing!

    Been MIA for a bit. DH decided to splurge on a ski trip for us. We stayed with a friend on Saturday, skiied Sunday and stayed overnight and returned home yesterday. It was a 6 hour drive home from Maine to Mass! DH made some comment about me "not lasting all day on the slopes" so I basically tortured him and stayed out til last chair in brutal weather just because I didnt appreciate being underestimated. Then I remembered that was one of my big goals for the year, to kill it on my snowboard! AND I DID! Things have been a little strained lately it seems relationship wise. Everything is kind of catching up to us, buying a new home, work changes, the unknown of life. But the trip was really nice and we both managed to relax a bit. Need to work on making more positive and intimate connections every day though, sometimes its just hard, like anything else I suppose, just gotta put the effort in. We lost power when we got home yesterday, and had to get up every 2 hours to stoke the wood stove - thank goodness we have the stove, the house stayed around 58 and no damage when the power came back on around 4am. But I am exhausted! So keeping it very simple.

    JFT
    1. Be kind
    2. One water before leaving work
    3. Leave work 3ish
