    @faebert - I hope you come up with a plan, a nice evening together shouldn’t end with you feeling unwell every time.
    I am not settled into my office yet. They have had a lot of staff changes so I am waiting for the office manager to get her stuff out of my office so that I can get mine in. I will feel much better and more settled when it’s all together.

    @Bex953172 - doesn’t it feel good posting goals? I am fighting to make happy faces instead of angry ones myself.
    Well Marley and Casey are just adorable! They look so angelic.

    @TerriRichardson112 - the Cricut has images that you can use for cut files which is what the wreath is. I chose the colours to cut and I designed the rest of it myself. I’m trying to come up with another quote so I can have a pair in my office.

    @korina75 - I ate so well all day and then blew it completely on supper! I am just struggling!

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 194.2

    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.
    6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Sept 18 10:15. ObG Oct 22 10:30. GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: MM first rehearsal 7/29. Next?
    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. Getting further and further behind on the blog. :( OTOH, I finished a necklace today and I really like it!
    5a6ld5k04hfm.jpg

    First rehearsal for Mamma Mia was tonight. Enjoyed singing even if it stung a bit still. I'm glad we're starting before school; getting home by 10:30 is a challenge and I'll need to figure out how to work my mornings so I can get a bit more sleep.

    Back from holiday and have put quite a bit of weight on! :/

    Not very impressed with myself, I'm heavier than I've been in ages. However, I'm not going to beat myself up about it - life has been challenging lately so it's not that surprising I've struggled. The key thing is getting going again!

    I've upped my calories and will now aim for 0.5lb loss a week. I think this will be more sustainable - I will feel less deprived so hopefully less prone to binging. That extra 250 will mean I can schedule in a snack late afternoon so I don't get hungry and vulnerable to late afternoon cracking. That's not to say I won't ever feel tempted to binge, but hopefully it will happen less often !


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - 4+ bottles water

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

    - 45+ minute lunch break
    - Get outside at lunch
    - Read response cards x2
    - 2+ of French podcast, reading, Duolingo
    - Talk to boyfriend in French
    - Finish work at 6pm latest
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights off by 11

    @Snowflake1968 I'm so sorry you're struggling. You know we've all been there! You'll get back on it when you're ready. You've just had so many life changes/events!

    @bookmeister86 Sometimes when we're struggling just realizing we need to go to maintenance or take a step back is all we need to do to reset. I hope that works for you!

    Howdy all. I've been MIA, but I'm doing well. Ok emotionally I'm doing well, physically it's like I'm preparing to hibernate. I can't even tell how much weight I've gained this month because I'm afraid to look. I know it isn't good, because my "fat" jeans fit a little too well. It's just the opposite of what I wanted to feel the week before I go to the beach. It's like I can either be ok mentally or physically, but not both. For the first time ever I have just accepted that I'm fat and that I will look however I look at the beach. This is good and bad. I want to be able to go and not be totally self conscious and have fun, but I don't like that I've kind of given up.

    Work has been busy lately, and work is where I usually read and post on this board. I've missed y'all and I need to find a way to reconnect with my "give a damn".

    JFT Tuesday (Lord help me I thought it was Friday)

    - Work on time :smiley:Half hour early
    - Work up VDA to give results by 12:30 meeting. :smiley:Barely, but yes
    - Eat only 1 Hershey Kiss and 1 Rolo
    - Lunch- Protein bar
    - MFP :smiley:
    - CUSUM Biannual review, ughhhhh
    - Home by 5:00
    - Change and go to boathouse for a parent meeting
    - Run while Sierra rows
    - Bible Reading / Gratitude Journal
    - Spend time in prayer (I suck at this)
    - Shower
    - No alcohol
    - Bed by 11:00

    Positive thought for today: When someone truly loves you, they will always love you regardless of the circumstances.

    Hey hey everyone! I've missed you. Basically I have been MIA from JFT the month of July. It's been a chaotic, roller coaster month, including out-of-town family gatherings & food, work deadlines & stress, summer events, out-of-town funeral (my cousin only 45yo who worked as RN, with loving hubby & 2 kids in high school ~ cancer sucks), Packers 5K cancelled due to lightning when I was at halfway point, several times severe storms when I sat in our basement with the pets, and so on.

    My motivation and habits have been slipping all month. My body and my scale know this. Yesterday was annual GDO (girls day out) with pedis, shopping & eating. I ate like there was no tomorrow. With annual health assessment on Aug. 7, it's time to get back to eating sensible and not whatever I please. This means you, evening snacks!

    Today, JFT I WILL:
    1) Not have snacks after supper
    2) Floss & retainers & hormone cream before bed

    LOL i was so suprised when you said racoons! I forget that most of you live in a different country.
    Over here its mostly rats. And occassionally foxes that shred through rubbish bins!

    Hope it gets picked up!
    Do you have any contact with this person? id give them an ultimatum, either collect by the end of the week or youll get a rubbish removal dude to take it all!

    Im sorry you feel that way, i understand the mental vs physical though. Its very hard just to find a balance. My partner sucfers life long mental health and ive had a short-term (if you can call 5 years short-term) mental health issues and it was just like when one of us was doing okay the other was ill and vice versa.

    And as for feeling fat at the beach, even if you are, from the selfie you posted the other day youre still bloody gorgeous!!

    Beware of the novel below!!!!

    This weekend was rough. I found out on Friday that my Opa passed. He was my parent's Godfather. It was expected and a blessing but still really sad at the same time. He was 90 and in incredibly poor health. I got to see him on the 4th of July so I was lucky. The same day a woman who was very close to my parents, also in her 90 but who had late stages of dementia, also passed. This one is also a blessing but will be hard on my brother because she and her husband watched my brother A LOT when he was a little boy and has many memories of them. And then on Saturday, I found out that my best friends mom has Stage 3 bone marrow cancer which inoperable. So it was a really rough couple of days. Sunday was okay. The best friend and his girlfriend came over for a little while in the afternoon. I hadn't seen her in a dog's age so that was really nice. We had a good time just sitting around chatting. He introduced Matt and me 7 years ago. We both have very separate and very interesting histories with this guy and it's good to sit down and recount our stories from the past. Lol.

    So yesterday I called Matt's gastro about the return to work paperwork and was told it was ready to be picked up. So much for being called when it was ready :# But I went and picked it up. We dropped it off at his job this afternoon. So if all of the paperwork is processed quickly he will be back to work next week!!!!!! He's going to do a couple of bike building shifts to get back into the swing of things. And I thought we were going to have to pay another month of our health insurance premium through Matt's job but it turns out that I don't have to because they'll take it out in arrears from his first few paychecks. I ALSO got a text from my Mom on the way home from the store asking about our finances. They've been trying to rent out the front house for months now and they can't find anyone. We definitely can't afford what they originally were asking for it but apparently, they are trying to figure out a way, financially, for us to be able to move in. They only have 2 years left on the mortgage and I don't think that they are ever going to find anyone because the house needs some work. It's not in disrepair or anything it's just a really old house. I think Dad is really going to bat for us to move up there. It would be AMAZING if we could! I've been DYING for more space for a while now. We would be going from a two-room cabin about the size of a 2-car garage to a full ranch style house. So send up some prayers that Mom and Dad(and we) can swing it.

    Sorry, this is so long! Lol

    I'm going to try my best to get on tomorrow morning and set goals before I go to work!

    JFT 7/30--Recap (early again, before the masses descend)

    Eat within calories :) So far so good and have dinner planned!
    30 minutes exercise :)
    Healthy choices :)
    lot of water :)

    Glad I kept it simple today, managed a great workout and healthy choices. Have a really yummy but fairly healthy dinner planned and feel confident I can keep it together for the evening. Feeling better about getting myself back on the health wagon just hoping my trip doesn't derail it (I am confident I will indulge a bit but I will be able to keep it in check).
    Day 2 of 5 good days this week in the bag!

    JFT- Tuesday July 30
    2L of water - 👿 I didn’t even have 500 ml
    Log all food - 👿 I logged it all, every single bad decision and bit that I took.
    Gratitude Journal - 🙂 will do before I get in bed.

    JFT- Wednesday July 31
    2L of water
    Log all food
    Gratitude journal

    I ate like I did as a teenager today, but I bought groceries and bought some things to take to work so that I can avoid the vending machine.

    My cousin was buried today, I’m still in shock that she’s gone. The results from her autopsy won’t be available until later this week. The cause isn’t going to bring her back but it might ease some minds.

    This has made me rethink some of my life decisions. I want to stop putting things off and I need to figure out a way to financially do some of the things I want to do. I also want more quality time with my family, not just all being together doing our own things.

    @bookmeister86 - I hope you had a wonderful holiday!

    @nlmackey98 - I understand how you feel, I can’t do physical and mental at the Same time and if mental is struggling physical surely is. I bet you’ll be beautiful on the beach and I hope you have a wonderful time.

    @HEGoddard0928 - what a terrible weekend. It will be nice to have Matt back to work and get some routine going. That would be amazing to move into the big house, where will your parents go?

    @Bex953172 - there are a lot missing! It was like this last summer too I believe.

    Off to bed, see you all tomorrow

    Pretty rubbish day yesterday. It was my first day back at work and it was full of annoyance and negativity. Happily I didn't give into snacks at work or on the way home, but I did then eat (and drink) way more than I planned to when my mum came for dinner in the evening. Have a BIG load of calories in the red now which hopefully I can make up for - or partly make up for - throughout the rest of the week. Today at least should be good, I'm working from home, have already planned and pre logged healthy meals, and will make time to do my exercise DVD.


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - Stick to food plan :'( Massively overindulged
    - 4+ bottles water :)

    - No eating whilst standing :'(Sneaked some cheese whilst pretending to clear up in the kitchen
    - Savour every bite :/
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :/
    - Give myself credit! :/
    - Stay positive :/

    - 45+ minute lunch break :smile:
    - Get outside at lunch :smile:
    - Read response cards x2 :/Just once. Maybe if I'd read them twice I would have eaten less!
    - 2+ of French podcast, reading, Duolingo :/Just Duolingo
    - Talk to boyfriend in French :/
    - Finish work at 6pm latest :smile:
    - Gratitude journal :/
    - Lights off by 11 :/


    Today's commitments:

    Eat under maintenance, no snacking no, snacked twice
    Back exercises yes
    Drink enough fluids yes
    Huge pile of laundry and ironing for business (and it's raining!) yes, still some ironing left
    Visit parents yes
    Stay positive yes

    @Snowflake1968, I'm sorry about your cousin, that's very sad. It's good that it's making you think about more quality time with your family. When my husband died his sister was the same, determined to spend more time with all of us. It's very difficult to keep up though, day to day life gets in the way.

    I'm another who can't manage mental and physical at the same time. Right now I'm busy with daily hospital visits (30 mile trip) as my father is ill. I'm usually full of praise for our NHS service, but I have been shocked by his treatment so far. He can't walk downstairs so needed an ambulance, it took 14 hours to arrive as they were so busy, it collected him at 2 o'clock in the morning! So now he is at the hospital (lovely new build) but it is so full there is no bed for him on a ward. He hates hospitals, and this is only reinforcing that!

    So understandably I've not been focused on food.

    Todays goals are

    Eat under maintenance
    Drink enough, easy to forget when not at home
    Fit in some back exercises
    Try and stay positive

    4. Bartending course. Schedule weekly grammar objectives. Set up online discussions; students will choose 6-digit usernames. Pizza. Braiding practice? Update unit plans for S1.
    5. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water! LOG BEFORE SNACKING!
    6. Therapy exercises at 10:30: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. MEDS. Floss, rinse, brush teeth. JFTomorrow.
    7. In bed by 10:45; devices off by 11:00.

Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Schedule assessments and return dates (check last term's plans for unit length). Put jewelry away. Fold laundry. Complete bartending course. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Find literature test.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 193.4

    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.
    6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Sept 18 10:15. ObG Oct 22 10:30. GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: MM first rehearsal 7/29. Next?
    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. Really feeling discouraged. I may have too many priorities, even though I'm TRYING to cut back. Other things have been taking precedence, which is why I'm gaining weight. Not sure where to cut back or how to re-prioritize.

    @HEGoddard0928 - what a terrible weekend. It will be nice to have Matt back to work and get some routine going. That would be amazing to move into the big house, where will your parents go?

    My parents actually live in a different house all together. There are three on the property. The cabin that we live in currently, the ranch we may be moving into and then my parents 2 story house that I grew up in.
