    Goals for Sunday, JFT
    1. log all food :/
    2. work on business taxes. This is the time of year I absolutely hate .... business tax stuff, inventory, just a lot to do. I get so far behind throughout the year!! :):) And I am exhausted!! I HATE doing this .... always gets me in a grumpy mood because I have to go after hubby for receipts, etc.
    3. get outside for a Long Walk!!! It is suppose to be 60 degrees!!!!! :/ NO ... working on tax stuff all day! The only thing I did do was go outside and rake up 5 bags of leaves ... a little fresh air! Then ... back at the taxes.So its been a long, tiring day!
    4. red cup January challenge --- 8+ c. water :/ Completely forgot to do this >:)
    5. mindful eating --- read and look up calories FIRST!!!!!!! >:) No more buying junk for my daughter ... nuf said >:)
    6. get back on here .. be accountable :)
    7. gratitude journal :/

    This is the time of year I dread .. .there is always so much work getting our taxes done and ready to take to the accountant. Why they charge what they do I'll never know, as I have to do so much to have it all perfect for them! Oh well..... but .... I just wanted to be lazy today and go outside. But ... at least I got a little stuff done!

    JFT, Monday

    I have been wanting to try out some vinyl work with my Cricut. I bought this mug today to do something with tomorrow but I got excited to try so made it tonight. It’s a must g for me to remind me of my word of the year, my Dad’s definition of it and hummingbirds to remind me of my Grandmother. I did Determined first and made it crooked so purposely did stubborn crooked.

    That's a lovely mug, a great reminder of your word for the year. Some people describe me as stubborn but I call it patient!

    Monday weigh-in - new year new start!

    Goal weight: 154
    Starting weight (this year): 167
    Mon 7th: 167

    So, I gained at the end of the year, and put on 0.75lb last week, but when I look back at what I was this time last year I was 15lb heavier. (And 20lb heavier on Jan 1st...)

    So I have achieved loads! Now just (?) To lose the last 13 and STAY THERE.

    Can I have two words for the year? If so mine will be:

    Mindful - of what I eat/drink and its impact on my health

    Moderation - Accepting that I can have a little of what I like, but not too much

    I think both of these are important for me now I'm at that last stage, heading towards maintenance - if I want to stay there I will have to cultivate this mindset.

    Cat back at vets. Sat there blubbing in car this am in their car park whilst waited for vet to open. So worried and prayed mightily for him over weekend. Vet today not sure but bloods not showing anything dreadful and she couldn’t feel hard lump so praying this is a case of bad constipation after all and he will be fine. He’s admitted and will get an ultrasound and hope that will tell me he’s just needing a rinse out of his digestive system! He’s so precious to me.

    Have been good and not eaten which I would normally do as comfort eating for all this stress.

    I'm so sorry about your cat. I know how you feel, as I lost my cats a few years ago and I was absolutely devastated. People who haven't had close pets don't always get it, but they are like family and very precious. I hope that in your case it does turn out to be something non-serious and that he is soon back at home with you. Sending lots of hugs and positive wishes your way. <3

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    Today: 189.6

    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" 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. 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), On Writing (Stephen King), 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.

    Ah, stress dreams, how I haven't missed you. :P Woke up well before the alarm this morning sobbing into my pillow because I'd worn boots to rehearsal and the director was so frustrated with the (minimal) noise that they'd made that he'd started shooting at me and I was so upset that I said I'd just leave, that I knew that they didn't even need me anyway.

    So begins the first day of new classes :lol:

    Wow, 72 posts since I was on Sat. afternoon. I'll have to catch up later, for now recapping my weekend for my own accountability, and posting JFT.

    Recap Sat. 1/5 ~ Lazy day at home with hubby ~ be patient w/ him as he doesn't want to "do anything." :p We ended up taking dog with us on a lazy drive ~ it was nice! :smiley:
    1) With melting snow on roads, not sure if there's ice under water/snow, so to be safe I walked treadmill in basement = 3 mi 49:36 + cool down + stretched :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / 5 somethings = Fitbit 10,851 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 20 floors :smiley:
    3) Drink 12c water (harder for me on weekends) = :smiley:
    4) Making new recipe for supper ~ kielbasa with lentils & veggies / net calories zero = New recipe is a keeper! Late evening hubby snacked on chips & dip, and I joined him ~ ack! Net calories -183 :/ , sodium -37 (I'll take it), sugar green (yay), fiber & protein good (yay)
    5) Unplug 9:00 :smiley: / floss :s / retainers :s / set/verify alarm, bed & tv off 10:30 :smiley: (Bible class & church)

    Recap Sun. 1/6 ~ Ended up being a rest day since I was stayed so busy.
    1) Bible class & church = :smiley: When alarm went off I really wanted to sack in, but so glad I went ~ the messages were so on point for me!
    2) Move hourly / 5 somethings = Fitbit 10,060 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 20 floors :smiley:
    3) Drink 12c water = :smiley:
    4) Made chili for supper / net calories zero = Ack!!! Evening I ate peanut M&Ms again! Bright side: there are no more peanut M&Ms in the house! Net calories -272 :s , sodium -422 :( , sugar -31 :s , fiber & protein low-ish
    5) To-do's: happy I got so much done :smiley: washed dishes & put them away / washed sheets & towels / put away decorations & dusted as I went... only got about half packed up and stored in basement when lower back started aching & I quit / packed up & stored fake tree w/ hubby's help / read Sunday sales ads / watched movie w/ hubby <3
    6) Floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / set/verify alarm, bed & tv off 10:30 :s (workout M before work)

    JFT M 1/7 ~ Weather is really crappy & gloomy ~ snow started overnight & temps warmed so now we are getting rain on top, which makes a slushy mess. I'd rather have snow! Wind & sleet hitting windows this morning woke me up, since I kept banging the snooze alarm off. No workout. :s
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings
    2) Meals & snacks prelogged / stick w/ plan / net calories zero / 14c water
