    @littleblackskirt Hope all goes well selling your Dad's car. Sorry you also had someone who felt they could comment on your weight! It's so demeaning. We are more than how much or how little we weigh. Much much more.

    @Faebert Sorry to hear about your assistant, that is such a long stretch! I'd be so stressed too. Great job letting the urge pass! I always log, good, bad, or ugly and sometimes it helps me make better decisions-although not always! ;) Yay for you!

    @Snowflake1968 Fickle weather! LOL! Walking is such a great exercise. I can't believe all those years when I didn't give it it's due. Now I do it all the time. And even a ten minute walk or walking fast between errands helps. :)

    JFT Wednesday

    - Stop at grocery on the way home and buy fruit to take to work :smile: Pears & Nectarines

    - PPE Matrix yet again
    - Lunch 350 - 450 cal
    - Walk at work if not raining
    - Home by 5:30
    - Laundry
    - Dinner within calorie allotment
    - Skip church to do laundry, not ideal
    - Maybe get a walk in laundry & weather permitting or ride the trainer (ugh. I hate the trainer)
    - Lay out clothes for the gym
    - Bed by 11:00

    Yesterday was pretty good I hit all of my goals except laundry. I can live with that. Particularly proud of dinner. The fam and I were out shopping and decided to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings. Not a place filled with healthy choices. There are a few, but I wanted boneless wings, buffalo chips & cheese curds. I skipped the cheese curds, but I ordered what I wanted. I ordered a small serving of wings than normal, and only ate half. I did eat a little more than half of the chips ~2/3. It wasn't the healthiest meal, but it all fit within my plan for the day and I didn't feel deprived. I was hungry a couple hours later. There was noting in the house that I was willing to spend the calories on, so I went to bed. Big win.

    Reluctantly got up this morning to go to the gym. Really tough as I didn't sleep well and my bed was all cozy. I decided that today I would do the arc trainer for cardio. The machine that intimidated me yesterday. I did do it at a lower level than I'd like, but I did it for the full planned 20 min. My legs were a little jello-y from the AT, but it was leg day so off I went. Leg Press, Leg Extensions, Leg Curls, Hip Abduction, Hip Adduction and Glutes, phew! Unfortunately, the effort and low calorie (not so nutritious) eating yesterday left me in bad shape. Shaky and dizzy. Just blood sugar, but I had no snacks with me. Had to skip abs. Sigh. Still better than no workout.

    Positive Thought: What I've learned from my past, but sometimes forget: I am capable of great things. I am stronger than I give myself credit for. I am more resilient than I thought possible. I am a forgiving person. I have friends I can count on. I can live a healthy lifestyle. I am creative. I am a good mother, daughter and wife. I defend my friends. I am a good employee, teacher and student. I am loved no matter my weight. Just to name a few ;)

    Scale goals

    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 195.6

    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. NOTE: ATTEND POST FLEX DAY RATHER THAN PRE FLEX DAY. Upload summer project checklist July 1.
    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: Not feeling particularly positive. :( Weight still trending up. Got my lowest quiz score in a long time and I'm not happy with the questions. Just... ugh. At least these stupid quizzes aren't worth a lot. Which means I need to make sure I don't muck up the essay.

    Pouting.

    Had a pretty good day today. No headache at work until late in the day, thank God. Tomorrow morning is the brain MRI, which I'm seriously nervous about...not because I'm afraid of the results, but because I'm claustrophobic and they are going to put a cage over my head so I can't move. That scares the bejeezus out of me. I'll be fine, but it's making me nauseous to think about it.

    Between seizures, a ruptured brain aneurysm and a tumor, I've been through a bunch of these. For me, the worst part is not the cage, it is the noise. Those things are LOUD. The best course of action is to not think about it beforehand and once you are in there, practice going to your happy place. Also, remember to breathe!

    You can get through it, the imaging doesn't take very long...an MRA is a bit longer if you are having contrast.

    Oh my gosh, I had forgotten you had the ruptured brain aneurysm. I did okay in the MRI (MRA?). It was with and without contrast and took about 40 minutes. I had them turn the music up, and they now have a type of camera and mirror set up inside the face/head cage that points straight at the radiology staff who are doing the test so it was like watching them or watching TV or something while listening to music. I didn't feel as trapped since I was able to see everyone in the office room. I'm really relieved to have it done and over with! Now the wait for the results.

    I'm glad to hear your colonoscopy went well! :) I have one scheduled at the end of the month but am probably going to reschedule until we figure this whole double vision thing out!

    Good job! 40 minutes is a long time to be in one of those! I hope that you get some answers soon.

    Yesterday I had grand plans to get back into the swing of things and was just lazy all day until Rodger got home from work. He wanted to go to Costco which he never does, then afterwards he said OK to eating out, also which he never does. I agreed to it all because he never does. Needless to say, I enjoyed my time with him but then we came home and did nothing except sit on the couch.

    Today I need to clean my house and get it ready to start crafting again. I can't spend all of my morning on social media like I did yesterday.

    4) Don't dwell on multiple online issues with prof org & lack of timely online support ~ do what I can and wait for response from somebody ~ maybe check online access from home computer to see if issues are workplace related = All tech issues apparently stem from moving CLP Beta to live, plus related links now broken. Geez. And where is their communication???? >:)
    5) Update JFT monthly goals and weekly w-i and May/June step challenges = All updated :smiley:
    6) Evening: hair appt. :smile: / check bird feeders & refill :smile: / other?

    Recap T 6/4 ~ Attended annual planning meeting for prof org from 8:30 - 4:30 and 1+ hour car time. Location was a farm guest house owned by a board member's company near the river. We watched deer & turkeys from inside.
    1) Continental breakfast, refreshments & lunch provided. Goal is eat sensibly & log best I can. = Ate breakfast before leaving home. Ate 1 scone at mid-morning break (yum!). Veggie salads with Asian twist & sourdough bread for lunch, followed by soft chocolate chip cookie. All made from scratch by chef on-site & delicious! Water in pitchers on table & I kept drinking. Guesstimated for food log (June challenge G/B/U) & ate lightly for supper at home. Net calories -129. :neutral:
    2) Didn't make time for workout before or after travel = rest day. Fitbit 4,461 steps, 250+ 5/14 & 15 floors. :(
    3) Remembered to make lunch for W (noon webinar)

    JFT W 6/6
    1) Walked dog before work 3.74 mi 1:06:04 (humid from thunderstorms overnight) & stretched after = happy dog & happy me :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / pace in office during webinar / 5 somethings
    3) Breakfast, snacks & lunch prelogged / look up recipe / net cals zero / 14c water
    4) Follow-up tasks from meeting / contact chapter email back-up / pick up records / start testing GA-S
    5) Evening: pick up race bib/shirt for Sat. / grocery shop / prep guest room for youngest brother & SIL / other?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set/verify 5:40 alarm, bed & tv off 10:20

    Today's Positive Thought: So happy I have a supportive co-worker & 2-3 prof org board members for when things go haywire.

    @daneejela - How true about humans crossing the bridge when we are facing it. There are so many times and things in life where we say we couldn't or wouldn't and then if it happens we just keep going. What else can we do?

    @ginnytez - I am so fortunate to have sisters in law that I really enjoy being around but like you live so far away. We used to be close, but not so much anymore. I just heard from my MIL that my husband's sister broke up with her partner of 13 years, I've talked to her twice since this happened and she hasn't said a word.

    @maryrobinson40 - I love watching that ticker go down, and the streak go up. I am struggling to maintain my 25lb loss, I am up again. We can do this!

    @Faebert - That assistant of yours sure misses a lot of work. Is she chronically ill or just catching all the bugs going around?

    @Bex953172 - It's so nice to see you back on a daily basis.

    @ZizzyBumble - I don't know if I would want to leave Skye, but it will nice to visit your parents I bet and isn't your husband home too?

    @littleblackskirt - I used to have one of those shelves, they are so easy to change up! I also want to say that it's logging the bad and being honest that is the best thing about this site. It really opens our eyes and doesn't allow us to hide the bad. After a while the bad becomes less and less I think. (I'll let you know if I ever get there).

    @korina75 - I usually walk fast running errands and I usually wander the whole store so that I can get extra steps in. Hubby hates shopping and was rushing me a bit yesterday so I didn't even get to do that. Today I am going to clean. It will at least give me activity to log today.

    @aubyshortcake - Yay for meeting your goal! Doesn't that make you feel so good!

    @nlmackey98 - You are doing it! Going to the gym and fighting through must be so rewarding. I love your positive thoughts. I would agree you are a great friend.

    @clicketykeys - Are you almost done your courses? You just need a good break I think.

    @azulvioleta6 - Happy Birthday!

    I have never made the time to write you response I had planned, but you were in my thoughts many times after I all read about those hard things on your shoulders (parents's illness, step daughter's depression). It's very hard to feel powerless when it comes to our closest people. I admire your strenght.
    I also hope that everything went well with the MRI..I am a bit claustrophobic too so I totally understand your fear. Although, we humans have this great capability to cross the brige once when we are in front of it, no matter how scary it looked a minute before. Sending you a big hug!

    EDIT: I was writing this at the same time, I am glad to see that everything went well! Keeping fingers crossed for the results!

    Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your insights with me. It truly is very hard to feel so powerless. I like to "fix" everything so it's been a difficult pill to swallow. It's so true that even though we don't know how we could possibly get through something, we always manage to do it...no matter what. Because ultimately, what other choice do we really have? I am trying to keep positive and have done a lot of meditating and praying over every one of these circumstances. Now, I have to let go of the reins and have faith that it will all be okay in the end, no matter what happens.

    I'm sending you a big hug back! I hope you have a great day! :heart:

    Totally just realized I really screwed something up at work about a month ago. Things have been bad for the past month or 2, and this is kind of big. I know how to fix it, I just don't know how to fix it and not look like a fool. So, of course, I'm sitting here and became ravenously "hungry". Pretty sure it's just a stress reaction. I had a nectarine but the vending machine is still calling. Hopefully I can maintain control and not binge as I have in the past.

    I don't tell you this for sympathy, I just need to see it and share it it hopes of preventing it. Anyway thanks for being here.

    Go drink some water and FILL UP!

    Take a 5 min break and just breaaaaathe it out. And then (hopefully) with a clearer head you can figure out what you need to do!

    Or own it! laugh off the c*ck up and just fix it! We all make mistakes! Is it something someone can penalise you for? I think aslong as you fix the problem no one can really complain then! After all it was a month ago and no one noticed in that time?

    No snack from the vending machine will change any of this!

    I know youve got this!

    Totally just realized I really screwed something up at work about a month ago. Things have been bad for the past month or 2, and this is kind of big. I know how to fix it, I just don't know how to fix it and not look like a fool. So, of course, I'm sitting here and became ravenously "hungry". Pretty sure it's just a stress reaction. I had a nectarine but the vending machine is still calling. Hopefully I can maintain control and not binge as I have in the past.

    I don't tell you this for sympathy, I just need to see it and share it it hopes of preventing it. Anyway thanks for being here.

    We’ve all been there! Like Bex says, deep breath and stay calm. The only thing a binge will do is make you feel worse. We’re here if you need to vent some more or post again to keep your head in the game. Hugs x

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes and the suggestions! I did good in the MRI today. I had one scan where I wiggled a tiny bit, but I have spring allergies and I was trying really hard not to cough! She said the other images were good so it was okay. I didn't panic as I thought I would, so that was really something else! I don't think I've ever been able to do a head MRI (I've had a few through the years) without being drugged. So, I'm quite proud of myself because it means I overcame a moment of anxiety and panic that I used to not be able to. Yea! You guys are the best cheerleaders ever!

    Now, I will wait for my results. That's the hard part. Hurry up and wait.

    I've had 2 MRIs done .. and have to say, that I rarely get anxiety, but I did with those. I guess its being in that big machine, and the noise. The worse for my though was the worse backache! I guess from lying still for so long, on that metal bed! But I am glad it is over for you, and praying the results are good ones.

    WEEEEEEEE 280 days straight logging. Oh yeah. I did it y'all. I went walking tonight and my youngest grown daughter went with me. We did arm exercises while walking and lunges and SQUEEZIN our butt cheeks while walking.
    Ahhh man I'm feeling it. It hurt so good.... LMBO😂😂😂. So much so I'm about to get up and go again.

    I'm on a mission. That 25 pound goal has got to become a REALITY and not wishful thinking.
    I have been saying no to wrong things and not settling. I'd rather not eat than to mess up all the
    painful work I've put in... I'm Not telling anyone to not eat... I was just making my point is all...that
    little part was more for emphasis on how serious I am, but I AM EATING y'all. Just not stuffing my
    gut with fries, fried food, chips etc. Am I clear?

    Anyway... That's all my posting for tonight. Going for that second walk now. Love you!!! Mean it!!

    Just what I said earlier. .. you are doing great!!! Saying no is a hard thing to do .... but you are proving how its done! Those 25 pounds will come off.. but remember, they did not come on overnite, and they will not come off overnite. Its a journey! And my .. your second walk!! Great job Mary!!

    4. Do some work in the garden. try to prevent crazy “master” gardener lady from pulling up my cucurbits :)


    1. Happy birthday to me!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! And ... what are cucurbits???? I love to garden also, but I only garden flowers since the deer eat anything else I plant (and they eat flowers to, but I just try and spray them).
    But I hope you had a wonderful Birthday!

    Positive Thought: What I've learned from my past, but sometimes forget: I am capable of great things. I am stronger than I give myself credit for. I am more resilient than I thought possible. I am a forgiving person. I have friends I can count on. I can live a healthy lifestyle. I am creative. I am a good mother, daughter and wife. I defend my friends. I am a good employee, teacher and student. I am loved no matter my weight. Just to name a few ;)

    This is a great positive thought!! You have so much to be proud of ... weight is not that important when we put it all in perspective as to what is truly important!

    YAY!!!! Proud Auntie here :) She is such a little doll. And Bex ... I don't think you have to worry about getting your steps in during the day! You will be running all over the place just keeping up!
