    @Snowflake1968 - It's not particularly shorter - it's just that I spent the entire weekend grading and I didn't post, so the "checking in" part is missing ;)

    JFT 5/28
    Go for a walk :)
    Keep sodium to a minimum :)
    drink lots of water :|
    rest :)
    make an obgyn appt :)
    Lots of fruit & veggies :)
    Give yourself a break! :)

    Took it easy today and accomplished most of my goals! I am still feeling a bit sluggish from my period-but definitely a little better tonight than I was last night or this morning. Hoping a good nights sleep makes all the difference.

    Tomorrow I have only one meeting and that is it so I am planning to get in a really big workout and also get a few things done around the house. I really hope I sleep well tonight. I need a good nights sleep in a big way. :#

    @Snowflake1968 Thank you! And I hope you hear soon about that job! Fingers Crossed!!

    Log accurately :)
    60 minutes intentional walking :)
    Productive work day :)
    Store to pick up stuff for Wednesday family dinner :)
    Finish stack of papers :( -with the holiday, I forgot tomorrow is trash day, so I got that together and out and picked up some other stuff. Good news is that I came home and did something productive.

    Tired tonight. Storms that moved through were loud. Tornadoes touched down in this area and did quite a bit of damage. One fatality reported. Even though it was not in my immediate area, was hard to sleep until they moved on. Going to get good night sleep tonight.

    Wednesday, May 29, 2019
    Log accurately
    60 minutes intentional walking
    Productive work day
    Enjoy evening with family

    My goals are a bit repetitious, but they seem to be working right now.

    Have a good rest of the day and start for Wednesday,

I didn't sleep well last night so the nap was nice. However that took away the time I needed to complete the other stuff I needed to do. Well at least I did the 1 DVD and stayed under my calorie limit!!

    I went back to work today. My head is still aching but it's a bit more tolerable now that I've been taking a medication to help me sleep harder. I think it actually helps the brain rest, if that makes sense? I had a tough time making it through looking at computer all day under those bright lights, but it went pretty good all things considered. I see a Neuro doc on Thursday and I go next week for a brain MRI. Kind of scary but it's all going to be fine. Deal with whatever we have to, but need to find out just what that is first!

    @ginnytez I'm glad you are okay with all that horrible weather! My mom and stepdad live in Indiana and I've been worried about them being in the path of those storms also. Tornado watches/warnings are SO scary; I wouldn't have been able to sleep either.

    Has @Bex953172 been on lately? BEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX! Where are you my feisty little friend? I hope you are okay! :flowerforyou:

    @maryrobinson40 Glad to see you are back and seem to be feeling better! :sunglasses:

    I did journal my food today but that's about all I did for goals. Well, I did also get up without hitting Snooze for like the first time in my entire life... so that was good. :wink:

    I'll log on in the morning and post my Wednesday goals. Just wanted to hop on and say I miss you all and it's so good to see your posts! :heart:

    @PackerFanInGB I'm soooo happy to see you back on here!! You've been missed!! I'm sorry to hear about your migraines, that is tough. I'll keep you in my prayers, I'm sure the MRI will give you results. 🌹 Thank you for the kind words. I feel like I accomplish so little compared to all these strong, devoted women on here!! But I know in the Fall my life will get busy again so I am forcing myself to enjoy this restful time. You take care of yourself. 🤗

    @AJB1014 Amazing!! What an exciting time!! Enjoy every minute!!💐

    @Snowflake1968 You are so amazing at responding to everyone and that is thoughtful and inspiring!! I wish to be better at this!! You are a wonderful person, I'm glad you are apart of our JFT journey!!

    👋🤠 To everyone else: Stay strong, encouraged and motivated bc you deserve to be happy and healthy!! Keep rockin' and rolling in your lives!!

    I am still working hard to stick with my plan. I have to remind myself not to get frustrated when the scale doesn’t reflect what I’ve done.

    JFT :
    Pray often and believe in what I cannot see
    Stick with what works
    Cardio 30 minutes

    @Faebert OMG! I hope you are ok! Take it easy if you need to, poor dear. That sounds like a nasty fall.

    @lafayettenana Have the best time! I love girl getaways! Enjoy!

    @ginnytez So scary. We have had more tornadoes here in VA in the last few years then in the prior 5 years before that. Weather is getting so severe, it's pretty terrifying. We had one a few months ago that kept all the kids at school (sheltered in place) until 7 pm! They were so scared. Stay safe!

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 191.6

    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), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
    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: Dentist. Onco. PCP. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia???
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away.

    WFTY: Climbing.
    Positive thought: Almost there.

    Good morning! I have to go into work early to help my boss out, he's got some important people coming in today.

    At 5:30 we are going to meet the realtor, I want my husband to see the house that I think would be perfect for us. I was showing him the pictures and he seemed pretty inspired by all the upgrades he could do over time. Then as we're falling asleep he's like "I don't see what you need 3 bedrooms for, 2 is more than fine". I tried explaining that we want to start having kids.. Ideally TWO of them.. And he's like "yeah well babies don't take up any space". 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ LOL I know he's partially messing around but partially serious.. But I am NOT budging on that. If it's in our price range then what's the issue..

    @AJB1014 (I hope I got the username right, it's on the previous page and I can't see it anymore LOL) you look beautiful in your dress!!!!

    @Faebert So sorry you fell, I hope you are ok!

    Yesterday 5/28:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
    2. Stay within calorie goal😞 no but only went about 100 over and I felt in control again, so that's a big improvement
    3. Go for a walk at lunch 😁
    4. Finish work at 5:15😞
    5. Cook dinner😁
    6. Pick up minimal groceries and vitamins😁
    7. Get prescription refilled😞 totally forgot

    @asclepsia Hi! Good to see you this morning! Awesome news about your decreased cholesterol at your checkup! I've not heard of a pipe organ guild test. Pipe organ music is beautiful so I'll bet it was an incredible experience! Thanks for checking in. You've been missed!

    @Faebert I hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly! Is it a muscle strain in your torso, or did you sprain an ankle? Regardless, I hope you allow yourself to heal and don't push too hard. Trust me....I'm the Queen of Mishaps...listen to your body if it says to rest! Hugs! xoxo

    @aubyshortcake I hope your husband likes the house! Good luck! House shopping is so exciting!

    Getting ready for work and wanted to post some goals. I'm going to keep it realistic since I know I won't be able to do much yet and don't want to set myself up for failure.

    Just for Wednesday
    • Journal every bite I put in my mouth...every piece of taffy or tootsie role. Rememeber, this is what put you into the red yesterday!
    • HYDRATE!!! Not kidding. Drink water, not just coffee.
    • Make mindful choices
    • Take a lunch break today. Get away from the desk. Run to JoAnn Fabrics or something.
    • Positive self-talk. No tearing yourself down today.
    • Be kind to others even if they are unkind to you. Walk away from gossip.
    • Listen to podcasts: Joyce Meyer / Half Size Me / Phit n Phat
    • Activity: 250 steps/hr | Step goal | 30 minutes activity today (break into 10 minutes each if needed)


    Have a lovely day everyone! ~Peace~ <3

    I had such a great day with Kaitlyn yesterday, she picked me up around 11 and dropped me off at 1030 last night. We accomplished so much! We found shoes for the flower girls, pants, bow ties and suspenders for the ring bearers. Got all of the stuff except two things to make the gifts for the bridal party. Bought some things to make some decorations. Ordered all of the flowers. We walked 6.8 kms by the time we were done last night.

    I went to bed after she texted me that she was home safe and sound, but then couldn't sleep so read for a bit. Woke up at 415 this morning, tried to get back to sleep, read some more and am now up at 6AM!!! I hope I can get a nap in at some point today, as this will be a long day if I don't.

    I don't know why I couldn't sleep, I think a big part of it is worrying about enough money to cover everything we have coming up. Kaitlyn and Brodey are paying for most things, but we are covering some and it's all the nickle and dimes that add up. It will all come together I know it, I just need to stop the worry so I can enjoy this time.
