Hi everyone. Not sure when I last posted so not going to try and find my goals for whatever day it was. I ate too much over the long weekend, and was tempted to give up altogether. My scales were showing a gain, which is so disheartening. The painkillers I'm taking have side effects, and i have a lot of fluid retention.
My sensible head tells me I have to keep going, even if I can't see any weight loss. The warm weather over the weekend has been a reminder that summer is more enjoyable when I weigh less, not all hot and sticky...and I'm not at that point yet!
So, the banoffee pie is finished, yesterday I was in the green, and I'm back trying my best.
JFT 25th April
Log everything
Stay in the green
Back exercises
Go for mammogram
Walk with friend
Ironing
Do some tax stuff, getting urgent!
Positive thought - Visited a garden nursery with my sister-in-law and bought a few really cheap plants, bargain!
It was a very basic nursery in the country. When we were there the pigs escaped from their field and all 3 of them followed me round the polytunnel. They were big! It was so funny, I took a photo, not sure how to put it up here though.

@clicketykeys I’m so sorry about the observation. How annoying that the observer didn’t listen to you! Sometimes I wish they would step back and realise just how lucky they are to have staff who care as much as we do. I hope you enjoyed your whiskey and your meal with hubby. Hugs x

Well, I forgot to bring one in yesterday morning, so technically I didn't let him out in the afternoon. Oops

- 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. - Lawn took 3 hours, I'm happy with the choice
- Dinner that leaves me in the green for the day. Eat back up to half of exercise calories. Ummm Pizza!

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 190
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. Friday I need to go to the amusement park after school for orientation. I also need to look for the skirt I was hoping to wear to chaperone prom.
Positive thought: I won't remember today. :P1 -
