    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 192.6

    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. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Align assessments with OW units. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
    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: MM auditions 6/22-23. Practice songs.
    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. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Get bikes fixed.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    WFTY: Climbing. So, today my body decided to get caught up on sleep. My nap lasted longer than I thought it would but it was totally worth it!

    1. Up at 630 😀
    2. Church around 7😀
    3. Put food away😀
    4. Bring back garbage can :(
    5. DO THE F**** DISHES :DI did MOST of them before I ran out of hot water, I just have a few more things left and I will do them AS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM WORK!
    6. Look up recipes with zucchini :(I ended up taking a 3 hr nap and totally forgot about this
    7. Do 2 character sheets :(I did half of one. My characters just weren't speaking to me yesterday
    8. Start reading new book :DKinda. I ended up borrowing a new audiobook online but it was not the one I meant for this task. Lol

    It's 5:44 and I've already been awake for 2 hours and school doesn't start for another 2.5 hours. The last two days I've been dealing with teeth/mouth pain(more mouth though). I have a rotted and broken wisdom tooth in the top left corner of my mouth and I'm pretty sure that another piece broke off but now the sharpness where the break happened is digging into my gum and irritating it. The last few days about a 1/3 of the roof of my mouth has been swollen and hurts pretty bad. Tylenol is seeming to help some but I can't go to the dentist because we just can afford it right now. And DEFINITELY cant get any tooth extracted. So I'm just going to have to deal with it for now. I think the most annoying thing is that it's affecting my ear and my throat as well. If anyone can give me some at-home remedies to bring down swelling in the mouth I would greatly appreciate it!

    So between the mouth pain and the 3-hour nap, I took yesterday afternoon I was pretty much a sloth all day. We picked up our friend and went to church though so that was good. He is like a second son to my mom and she is always so happy to see him. That always makes my heart smile when I get to bring him. He and I have a VERY long and pretty turbulent history but he is the one who introduced me to Matt and we all did A LOT of growing up over the last few years so the 3 of us are pretty much inseparable now.

    Anyway! Lol. I hope everyone's morning is going well. I'll catch up later!

    JFT, 7/15/19
    1. Actually log all my food!
    2. Work 815-1245

    6. Limit Twitter time(this has been killing my creativity)
    7. Start new book!
    8. Actually make dinner!
    9. Do the dishes right after!
    10. Spend some time unplugged with Matt

    Hello all! I am back from vacation and a week of indulging and not enough exercise has sort of done me in. I feel awful. Back on track today and heading to the gym shortly. Way too much for me to catch up on but just jumping back in!

    JFT:

    30 minutes exercise
    eat within calories
    healthy choices
    Tackle to do list to relieve stress


    It's the kids first day of a camp that is more traditional (outdoor/swimming/etc) and I'm more than a little nervous for them. I am also feeling a little guilty because they don't need to be in an all day camp bc I work from home mostly but I am so glad to have them out of the house, interacting, and doing a lot of active stuff. No electronics allowed there. It'll be good for them but it's a long day that they aren't used to. I'm expecting them to be absolutely miserable tonight, and come home hating it. Be a parent they said! It'll be fun they said! :D Plus on top of that work is a little nuts today and was yesterday too, my first day back from vacation and I am utterly exhausted and peopled out but can't really relax and catch up on the stuff I want to do for my self care (clean my house, do all of the laundry, get in a long workout,meal plan) until tomorrow. So, enough of my whining, going to get myself to the gym and start the process of making myself feel a bit happier/healthier. Waiting until Wednesday to weigh myself after vacation. Don't need a reason to be upset right now...

    Hi all, didn’t post yesterday but I have been reading and sending lots of good vibes to you all. Today it is stupidly late to set goals. I’ve been in a funk the last couple of days due to various things - problems with the ex and his relationship with the kids and then some issues with the bf. So, basically, the men in my life! Took a complete rest day yesterday but didn’t really enjoy it. Today I got up and went to a Warrior class first thing but I’ve finished a good day badly. Need to shake myself out of this and try and enjoy the last week of school. Take care of myself during this time at home without the kids. But I miss them and feel so out of routine!

    Monday goals:
    - up and pack for gym ✅
    - Warrior class 6:30am ✅
    - Early to work, GaG on arrival ✅
    - Home lunchtime for car and shake, pick up karaoke mic for Z ✅
    - Leave by 5 ✅
    - Groceries ✅
    - Call kids. Arrange play date for P ✅
    - Lay out running gear ✅
    - Bed by 9:30 ❎ but going now so not far off!

    I think a good long run will help me tomorrow so committing here in writing to get up and get it done and get back on track.

    Night all x

    JFT 7/15 recap


    30 minutes exercise :)
    eat within calories :)
    healthy choices :|
    Tackle to do list to relieve stress :)

    Got a lot done today, tomorrow will be way less stressful and the rest of the week is busy but productive. Feeling a little better today. Definitely not looking forward to seeing how much weight I've gained back on vacation but it's all good, back at it little by little and hopefully in full swing by the end of the week.

    @Faebert - I hope the men in your life wisen up soon and that you have a good day tomorrow.

    @HEGoddard0928 - I wish I had the means to help you. Tooth pain is the worst!

    @ZizzyBumble - do you have to wait up for your guests all the time?

    @korina75 - I weighed myself last Monday and almost cried as the scale was showing back up to 190. Today it was down to 184.6. I think getting serious about tracking and getting my water in will help bring it back down. It sucks how easy it is to gain and how difficult to lose.

    I feel like I’m starting to settle in to my job a bit today. I still have a lot to do to feel confident but it’s getting better. I don’t feel overwhelmed with paperwork right now at least. The lady before me was paper happy.

    I didn’t have time to set goals this morning as I overslept and was determined to walk to work today. My hip didn’t like it at all! I’m afraid I need to let it heal some more before I try that again. Hopefully I can post goals in the morning, I did log today though for the first time in 2 weeks!

    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Get bikes fixed.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    WFTY: Climbing. Another nap today. It's been SO nice. I'm debating if I even want to walk that much in the morning as it's barely getting below 80F over the next few nights and I *should* be able to get on the treadmill in the girls' weight room. Next week the lows start dropping and I am SO looking forward to that!

    One of the downsides to Delusions of Gender being SUCH a good book is that I have lots and LOTS of quotes to log. It's almost every other page - you can see my notes here.

    Morning all!

    Fell off the wagon a bit from Thu-Sun and so was quite heavy when I weighed in yesterday. I didn't log the weight though because I was sure it was nearly all water weight. I'm going to weigh in on Friday as that's the last morning before my holiday, so I will log that weight (and then aim to maintain it over my holiday!)

    A busy week ahead in the run-up to holiday. Lots of work obviously. Also realised that my cousin is visiting literally the day after we come back so now I have to clean the whole flat as well (this is not me being overly house proud, it is disgusting). And tonight I have to quickly do a job application! No rest for the wicked.... So perhaps I am not the wicked as I will get a rest next week on my holiday which cannot come soon enough :smile:

    Today I am having a chat with my CEO about my career. I'm a bit nervous about it, not really sure how it's going to go. And I'm not really sure what I actually want from her either, other than 'create a new role for me' which I am not sure she will be willing to do. But, let's face it, I don't really have anything to lose through having the conversation. So I will give it my best shot!


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - Be in or close to the green
    - 3+ bottles water
    - No alcohol

    - No eating whilst standing
    - Savour every bite
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
    - Give myself credit!
    - Stay positive

    - 30 minute lunch break
    - Duolingo
    - Finish work by 6pm
    - Do job application
    - Gratitude journal

    Morning all. A beautiful start to the day here and I did my run- hooray! Feel so much better for the time outside and I decided to try and view things a bit differently from now on. Taking my lead from others in this group and remembering to be grateful. Grateful that I have a body that works, that I have the ability to be strong and fit and that I have choices in life. Time to make the most of those blessings. Maybe too much deep thinkng to explain on a busy Tuesday morning!

    Tuesday goals:
    - morning run ✅ 18km, 11 and a bit miles 😊
    - pack snacks and schoolbag✅
    - book room for cooking activity on arrival
    - check interview timing with Head
    - home lunchtime for car and shake
    - call doctors
    - call gym for kids’ induction
    - leave by 5
    - prep for cooking lesson
    - bed by 10

    Have a great day x

    @korina75 - I weighed myself last Monday and almost cried as the scale was showing back up to 190. Today it was down to 184.6. I think getting serious about tracking and getting my water in will help bring it back down. It sucks how easy it is to gain and how difficult to lose.

    I feel like I’m starting to settle in to my job a bit today. I still have a lot to do to feel confident but it’s getting better. I don’t feel overwhelmed with paperwork right now at least. The lady before me was paper happy.

    I didn’t have time to set goals this morning as I overslept and was determined to walk to work today. My hip didn’t like it at all! I’m afraid I need to let it heal some more before I try that again. Hopefully I can post goals in the morning, I did log today though for the first time in 2 weeks!

    So true! It's so easy to gain and so much harder to lose. I was only up by a pound which made me feel better. I sure ate a lot of poutine while in Montreal so I am actually surprised it wasn't higher! :)

    JFT:

    60 minutes exercise
    Stay within Calories
    Tackle house cleaning to relieve stress
    Self Care today means Healthy food choices

    I have been super emotional so I'm pretty sure my period is on the way. I also have company coming to town this weekend so I need to get the house cleaned and the guest room prepped. Plus on top of that I have a crazy work week. It's all good (except for my period) but I need to build some down time into my schedule this week. I feel like I say that every week though! I am not planning for anything on Sunday-our company will head home (only one night) and I will use that day to binge watch a good show, snuggle my tweens, and relax. I do have some time this afternoon as well so I will get some of the cleaning/prepping done and then take some time to unwind. I have a bowling tourney tonight for a work function so I know there will be at least one drink but my goal will be two at most, and a healthy food choice. Hope everyone had/has a great day. Heading off to get ready and get this work day done!

    @clicketykeys - Do you not give yourself a chance to recoup and recharge at all during summer break? You just keep going and going. Your notes were intriguing, I may need to read this book.

    @bookmeister86 - I hope you have a very successful meeting with your CEO. Where are you going on vacation?

    @Faebert - I can't believe the difference writing in a Gratitude Journal has made in my life. Even when things were hard and tough it didn't seem overwhelming when I remembered to be Grateful for what I do have and not resentful that I didn't have enough. There is a book I read called the Gratitude Diaries by Janice Kaplan that really is what started me doing it.

    @aubyshortcake - I hope everything goes very smooth and you get your paperwork today. It's such an exciting and stressful time.

    @korina75 - I hope you find a little time for some quiet time this week. I find the weeks just fly by, especially in the summer.

    I am up way too early with work stuff on my mind, I think I'm going to get dressed and go in early. I have paid some bills, caught up on here and my alarm is just now going off.

    I so wanted to walk to work this week, I had this vision in my head of walking to and from work, enjoying the summer sun a bit and giving myself some extra calories to boot. It's not happening today for sure. My hip is hurting so much from the walk yesterday, I only have two of the Advil Muscle and Joint left, I will take them before going to work and after work will go buy more. I think if it hasn't improved by next week I may need to see my doctor.

    Onto goals for the day, I'm going to go back to basics this week and see how well I can do. Yesterday was a good day.

    JFT - Tuesday July 16
    2L of water

    I've always struggled with trying to do ALL THE THINGS, hahaha! I do a little resting later in the day - I take naps as needed / as I can get them, and we'll zone out to some Baking Show re-runs.

    Do you think your hip is hurting because of the transition to more walking than you're used to?
