Scale goals

End of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 190

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). 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. I'm super proud of myself for getting 7 miles in on Sunday. I'm still REALLY slow.

Positive thought: Starting weight lifting today!

Hi everyone

It's only 7.30pm but I've had a busy busy day so I'm going to bed in a min

Batch cooked a good 35/40 meals - all healthy and nutritious. I weighed everything so they can be included in my diary and I know the calories are correct. I've also done 30 breakfast egg muffins - with lots of varieties - so I can grab 2 for brekkie in work. I've used carrots, cauliflower and broccoli in things you wouldn't expect and they still taste good.

I got weighed this morning and I've lost 14lb!!!!! That's the 1st stone of 10 gone - 9 to go

5. Have a good sort out of paperwork and catch up with outstanding tasks

Flipping heck! 104 posts!
Read them all!

Unfortunately i have not veen busy burning calories as @snowflake1968 said! More like moping on the sofa watching ash do it all.
The floor is finished, the lounge feature walls have been wallpapered as has the kitchen.

Its been kinda grim, just sat there watching but not having any sort of umph to help.
I didnt even feel sad. I just couldnt feel anything, nothing.
And deep inside i felt like i was at war with myself from the part of me that wants to be well and happy and do normal things, anc the side that just couch-locks me.

Eugh.
Today i started a gratitude journal, properly.
So i was thankful for Ash and how he makes me feel better and how he is so hardworking, for my house and my family.

So back how (i was awol because we forgot to pay for the internet lol!)

Good morning all, sorry I have been offline for the weekend.

1. Track everything/stay in the green
2. Mindful eating practice - lunch

Mindful eating-plan ahead for movie theater indulgence Had two glasses of wine (loooong movie) and then ate a sensible dinner and drank lots of water when I got home.

WFTY: Climbing. Started Strong Lifts yesterday. Wasn't sure I'd be able to bench even the bar, but I did! I'm sorry I haven't been responding to everyone's posts. I do read them! I just can't always think of something to say (especially that hasn't already been said).

Positive thought: I called the dentist yesterday to confirm - NO CAVITIES!

Today is gonna be a bit hectic, here it goes:

- send emails
- print and submit year reports and statements papers to the authority
- send that email report
- fix new rent contract for the business
- write down bugs that are stoppers.
- stay away from junk food
- stay away from snacks
- hair removal (don't procrastinate longer)
- light dinner

Yesterday I had an extremely efficient day. I felt very proud of myself.
When a person with PCOS does waxing there is more drama, pain, blood, and mess than in a war movie. But I went through it, so I can relax for a while.
With all the things I've been doing, I totally forgot about food and ate only the main meals yesterday.

But today, I guess my hormones have a party, I feel like I am gonna burst into tears any second. I feel so unhappy with everything that it must be a hormonal thing.

JFT:
- fix remaining bugs in the app
- buy non diary milk
- light dinner
- stay away from the fight with my SO

JFT Monday

- Work by 8:00 More like 8:45. Just couldn't mentally get up this morning.
- Check in on MFP
- Not be disappointed in myself. Tough one, but so far so good.
- Work on work stuff... Been avoiding one project
- Lunch <300 cal
- Pick up dogs from the kennel Hubby did this
- Pick up daughter from talent show tryouts
- Go for a walk/run to make up for morning candy snafu. Too busy with family stuff.
- Dinner within calorie goal
- No treats after dinner
- Early to bed Not even close couldn't sleep, ughhh

Positive thought for the day: One day, or one weekend doesn't define me. How I deal with the reality of the situation shows my character.

Things were mostly good yesterday except for my activity. I went from >30K Sat & Sunday to <5K yesterday. I was pretty ok with my weight gain yesterday as I know I ate poorly. As expected, I dropped 3 of the 4 pounds today. I figure the last pound will come off by tomorrow, but if not I'm okay with the gain. Back on the horse, right?

Today is busy as always, but I think I have it organized in my mind. Well except for the work thing I'm kind of creating as I go. People want answers, and I might, I repeat might, have a way to get them. Of course, might means definite to the higher ups. Such is life in the jungle. A little running about. Squeeze in a little activity and hit the household chores. Damn, I didn't leave time for prepping dinner. Maybe hubby will take that one, he usually does. I'm not terribly concerned about the chores as we are actually home this weekend with no plans (yea!).


JFT Tuesday

Up / Shower / Makeup / Hair / Work by 8:00 (No ball cap today):
Check in of MFP
1L of water before soda
10K steps
20-30 min walk at work
Meet flooring guy for delivery
Lunch <300 cal
Take daughter to track meet
WALK or run or combo at least 3 miles
Laundry, it's piling up after a weekend away
Clean floors (maybe)
Dinner within calorie allotment
No snacks after dinner

Positive thought: No one can steal your joy unless you allow it. Choose happiness.
There are times when choosing happiness is beyond us, but it is something we should all strive for.
