Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 189.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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), The Secret Adversary (Christie). Add lamp and wobble board to grocery list.
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). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
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! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options.
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: Apr 25 Dentist. Apr 22 McC. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. May 4 is SW Day and FCB Day. Coloring at library on Tuesday.
WFTY: Climbing. Seriously bummed. I don't know if I wasn't paying attention or if it got changed, but the coloring party was at 4 not at 7 so I missed it
Oh well. There'll be another one next month.
I'm reading everyone's posts but I'm so drained with testing season and observations STILL hanging over my head and getting close to the end of the master's program that I just can't think of anything useful to say. *hugs* to all!
Positive thought: I managed 4 miles this morning!3 -
Good morning everyone, I have to be quick too... I actually SLEPT IN (unheard of for me since peri menopause started) on my early day at work. I am typing this on my phone from my desk.
I accomplished all my goals yesterday except completing the mindful meditation course. I am finding it hard to carve in an extra hour in the evening to get it done, so will try doing half the exercises over my lunch break today.
Today's goals:
1. Track everything/stay in green
2. Mindful meditation course, as above
3. Walk after work
4. Check in with JFT group evening
Have a great day everyone!1 -

JFT Tuesday
- Shower/hair/makeup - Sadly no... Ball cap day
- Work by 8:00 -
- Breakfast <300 cal - I tries some nectarines, but they were sour. Landed on a protein bar.
- Maximum 4 small pieces of Easter candy
Only had 1, Go me!
- Stay “present” at work
- Lunch <300 cal - Lunch was not good, but it was low calorie. Chicken was very dry, so I only eat half with my salad.
- 10,000 steps Actually got 15,277. Morning walk at work and my 3+ mile hilly hike after. Wasn't sure I'd get to walk after as there were storm warnings. I got it in and only got a little wet from a shower, but no lightening. I didn't melt.
- Reasonable dinner - Blackened salmon atop a salad, no dressing.
- Stay green - - Way in the green, perhaps too much
- One snack after dinner - - Homemade frozen custard. My hubby spoils me.
- Bed by 11:00 - - Amazingly enough yes!
Positive Thought; I feel like I’m moving in the right direction. Thanks for all the love y’all.
Yesterday was a good day, no tears, no negative thoughts, productive, active. Because of the daily challenge I weighed today and it confirmed that my spaghetti dinner Sunday night skewed my weight high yesterday. I know this because I'm fairly certain I didn't drop 2.2 lbs overnight unless it was water.
Today I need to repair a GC at work. I'm usually pretty good at these things, but my first 2 ideas to explain the issue didn't resolve it. Now I gotta tear that bad boy apart and look at it's innards. I have until about 10:30 to make it work then I need to leave for a conference/town hall type thing where my main purpose is to kiss @$$. Again, I'm pretty good at knowing what to say when and smiling to the higher ups. Yay me. I do always feel a little slimy after, and it can be exhausting as its 4 hrs long with lunch included. I'm fairly picky so I doubt it will throw my eating plan off. Unless of course I leave starving and stop at Chick-Fil-A.
I'm still going to put my 10,000 step goal down, but it may be a stretch today because of the weather.
JFT Wednesday
- Shower / hair / makeup -
- Work by 8:00 - - 7:45
- Check in on MPF threads -
- Repair GC
- Breakfast <300cal
- If time after the GC is repaired work on making Ash methods ISO compliant
- Head to conference... schmooze
- Stop at Hair supply place to get pink enhancer for V's hair
- Stop by local sport shop to get a high school shirt or 2 to wear at the crew regattas
- Home to let dogs out
- Decision Point: I may have to go back to work to complete the repair OR I may be able to go for a hike
- 10,000 steps
- When I get home, do not lay on the couch. Do at least 1 load of laundry and knock of something on the chore list that needs done. Clean small bathroom or clean refrigerator.
- Dinner that leaves me in the green for the day. Eat back up to half of exercise calories.
- Bed by 10:30, I gotta be at work by 6:15 tomorrow.
Positive thought for today: There is nothing on my list I am not capable of doing if I remain focused and present.

JFT 4/23
Intuitive eating practice today.
Log all food after

I am learning so much by really mindful eating/intuitive thinking around meals and snacks. I had my calories set too low for what I want to accomplish and really was feeling deprived esp. during pms. So I recalibrated and going to do the same thing today, just really thinking about what I want to eat (but keeping junk food out of the equation entirely).

A NSV! I mentioned how when DH is in a mood, it affects me a lot. Well, he was in one yesterday! But I let it roll and did not feed into it. Reminding myself I cannot take peoples actions so personally all the time. I went to bed early and got to work early this morning. DH ended up apologizing for his attitude! He's working on his mental health and it showed when he took responsibility for his actions without any intervention on my part - another reminder to me that HE is the only one who can help himself and I cannot force the issue. Rather, I can be an example of healthy self care. I'm proud of us both today. And happy to know that we are learning its okay to have a hard day, it doesn't mean we love each other any less.3 -

I had a great day yesterday, I studied and realize I know more than I thought I knew about financial management. I need to learn the acronyms and definitions and study it a bit harder but I am feeling better about it. I sent Sarah an email telling her that and she sent back some videos on how they do their presentations for me to study. I am going to read through the links again and also click on other links that are on the page. I will do this daily until I have the interview. 3 more weeks to go!
Rodger had a good first day at work yesterday and found out that because of his seniority he'll earn this year he should be called back another 3 weeks earlier next year if he is laid off in the Winter. They are also training him this year for a position that works year round though. So we'll see. I will only count on him working year round when it's offered and the paperwork is signed.
Today my plan is to do some more studying, do some cleaning, go for a walk and I have to make a Birthday card for my Mom and some Mother's Day cards. The Grands come for supper tonight and I need to run out to the store when Rodger gets home to get some groceries. If I only had money, I would be happy being at home I think.

Eugh i REALLY need to learn not to react to my partner!! I take it personally, well he does direct his frustrations at me but i react and make a bad situation worse.
Is there anything in particular you did to stop yourself reacting?

Yep, I hear that! Yesterday I had a good day so my fuse was not as short as usual, which helped, but I know I cant always count on it. I physically left the room when I was feeling my emotions building up - and muttered a few not so nice things in private! I ate dinner by myself instead of waiting on him. I focused on me, not him. And I was mindful of my reactions - I'm prone to sighing and eye rolling so I was literally holding my breath at some points
I'm adding it all to my list of things to practice - just like healthy eating I know I'm not going to be perfect all the time but all I can do is try to be a little better than I was yesterday! 1 -
@snowflake1968 Awesome job on the studying, sounds like youll be well prepared for your interview come the time! Enjoy the time with the grands. And GREAT news about Rodger's position, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. Would love to see your cards when youre all done!1

@nlmackey98 I know I have not interacted with you much - but I just wanted to say you're perseverance and honest feedback in this group has really inspired me! Thanks 0

I'm cooking the chicken thighs in the Instant Pot. Finally. They have a sell by date of tomorrow though so they should be fine (I had planned to cook them on Sunday!!). I'm slowly catching up my kitchen after the dishwasher debacle of last week (First work problems, I know, but I don't do well without one!). Still waiting for the part for the refrigerator shelf. (The dishwasher, disposal, and refrigerator all developed problems last week.)
I need to drink more water, I'll go get the bottle after I post this. And I need to put a pan of water on the stove for the spaghetti (I'm making a chicken in (light) cream sauce spaghetti dish (am I allowed to post a link, as long as I'm not selling? I'm just a fan) <a href="https://simple-nourished-living.com/pioneer-woman-chicken-spaghetti-made-lighter/?ck_subscriber_id=298693411#wprm-recipe-container-51640"> Pioneer Woman Chicken Spaghetti Made Lighter </a>
I didn't take a lunch break today - typical Tuesday, maybe a little crazier than usual.
I'm at 6000 steps - my daily goal is 6500 during the week, I may have to walk around my apartment tonight before bed.
It's great to see everyone's goals and things, really helps me to stay the course. Nice to start recognizing the names and the goals...
That recipe looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Always love a good suggestion so I'm not fumbling thru a million choices hoping its good!0 -
@maryrobinson40 Love your easter pictures you and the family are so beautiful and sassy!!!
Anyone heard from @cschmitz110515 lately?0 -
@Bex953172;c-43631156"
You have the opportunity here to get a real good sense of achievement! Doing the things you REALLY don't want to is hard, so when you do them you'll feel more proud of yourself that you did them!!
From your list, pick the one thing that you don't want to do most, the one you'd avoid all day, the "worst" one.... and do that one.
The rest will seem easier then!
Such good advice, Bex! Let's see if I can do that today---I know exactly which one my "worst one" will be-lol.1 -
@maryrobinson40 - What a beautiful family you have. I love all of the pictures.
@Bex953172 - That is awesome that you are getting the flooring done. Are you and Ash doing it yourselves?
@lafayettenana - I found it a little overwhelming when I first started too, I used to keep a little note as I read and then typed it all up afterwards. The bad part of MFP is if you switch pages you lose all of your typing. But I like the likes and hugs too. I imagine when I start a job I won't be able to keep up like I do right now.
@ZizzyBumble - Still doing your exercises when it was too late or you were too tired, is a huge accomplishment!!!
@nlmackey98 - I'm so happy to read you had a good day yesterday.
@AJB1014 - What a great NSV! I'm so happy for you.2 -

Yeah hes pretty good at stuff like that! Im not doing the actual fitting but just moving the furniture round and tidying around him and holding the wood as he saws it.
We bought more expensive flooring than normal, firstly so it would be more durable and scratch resistant and secondly, Its easier to fit.
Its literally slot it in length ways and drop it in on the ends and it locks itself in. So theres no knocking it together (we always chip it when we do that)
Only problem we encountered is that the underlay is 4mm and the flooring 10mm, so the floor is 14mm higher, i was SO glad when i said "just check that door can still open over it" .. it couldnt, so weve took 2 interior doors off and we'll need to shave a few mm off the bottom before refitting!
But other than that its going well! Very well!
Weve bought some wall paper, tbh im dreading it. I know its gonna be one of them DIY arguments LOL

@snowflake1968
Thats the floor and the last bit we have to finish, but i think we did a good job getting it through the door frame!
I know theres little gaps but they get covered by the edges (dont know the actual name but its a thin peice of wood that glues to the skirting in the same colour as the floor x4 -

I want to echo all of this and add a well done and yay! @snowflake1968 for the determined way you are approaching the job hunt and weight loss! So much positivity to inspire.
@Bex953172 - love the flooring! Am so impressed, I’m rubbish at home improvements.
@clicketykeys - well done on the 4 miles!! Doubling your target! V impressive x0 -

Yay! Made it through the work day!!! Just have a few moments to catch up on everyone’s posts..
@Snowflake1968 Yes, I live in Ontario.... started a bunch of seeds indoors, but OK to plant spinach/lettuce/arugula/peas outside now (they like the cooler weather [or so I thought ??] ) - just have to fence them off to keep the hungry bunnies and birds away from the sprouting plants. So glad to hear studying is going well! Enjoy dinner with the grands tonight.
@bex953172 that flooring looks amazing. Is it hardwood or laminate or something else? I am hoping to do our floors one day
@korina75 I’m using a book called “The Mindful Way Workbook An 8 week program to free yourself from Depression and Emotional Distress” ISBN 978-1-4625-0814-3. It comes with a CD and links to guided meditation exercises and has readings and exercises for each week. In the first week one of our exercises is to practice mindful eating. So far I have found the information and exercises helpful, but as I said earlier today it’s hard to find the time!
@awhit4842 - I hear ya on the “up at 3AM and thinking about work” thing! That is me too, but its 4 or 4:30 usually. I wish I had a solution to suggest... if you come up with a solution let me know.
Well, I should head out and get my walk in before supper as I intended today. Enjoy the rest of the day everyone!0 -
@bex it is amazing what a difference a new floor makes! The system there is SO different, hearing about all the things you need to do & you're ?renting it, am amazed.
I know lol!
As its under a housing association though, after the first year as long as we dont have any complaints or cause any problems (like big things like intentional damage, illegal things or anti social behaviour) then its a lifelong tenancy. And after 5 years we have a 'right to buy' and then we can start to buying the house off them until we own it outright or we can just own 75% or whatever we like!
So no worries like with a private landlord that can kick us out whenever, decide to sell up or whatever, so this is like a guaranteed home
