    Log accurately :) I hope so, scales did not appear to agree with last week's logging - I thought I was in the green but put on weight!
    Stay in the green ;) if the logging is accurate!

    Aug challenge :)

    Parts of the U.K. may have a heatwave but that's not the case on Skye. I had a workout pegging the washing up in a high wind only to have to bring it back in when it rained! It was an evening for a long relaxing bath. No bed and breakfast guests tonight so I'm hoping for an early night and a lie in. I just hope the cat also wants a lie in!

    Goodnight JFTD friends.

    @nimackey98. Congratulations on your run and on the endeavours of your girls. I am guessing that you and your husband are fitness role models and inspiration for your daughters.

    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 193.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for 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. 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: ATTENDED 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. PCP - allergy shots?
    7. Theater: Mamma Mia. 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. Buy new bikes and bike night for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    WFTY: Climbing. All of my handouts for Julius Caesar were missing. It's only a mild annoyance, as I printed more, but it IS an annoyance. I'm going to quit my morning runs and see if more sleep helps. If I can get more sleep, that is. We'll see how it goes.

    @maryrobinson40 - I hope your great nephew had a wonderful day. Yeah ta so hard seeing them go out on the world. My Grandson starts grade 3 next week and my Granddaughter starts preschool 2 days a week. The time goes so fast.

    @Faebert - I wish we were having a heat wave. I still don’t feel like we have had summer and there is frost warnings for tonight. We have had a year now of terrible weather.

    @ZizzyBumble - if I ever win the lottery I’ll come be a guest at your B&B. I like sleep ins so you wouldn’t have to get up for me.

    @nlmackey98 - I’m so happy to see you back! You must be so proud of your girls. I agree with @ZizzyBumble though, I bet you and your husband gave them the interest to begin with.

    @clicketykeys - I hope that you can sleep in the mornings. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I think you put too much on your plate. :)

    Well I am still plodding along, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m hoping that the doctor has some answers for me on Friday and I can get my hip straightened out. I also need something done about my wrist. I feel like I’m falling apart.

    I took Lauryn and Michaela shopping yesterday and bought the kids each two outfits for school, Jonah’s supplies he needed and a watch. Michaela lives dresses and hates wearing jeans or pants. In the summer that’s great but the weather is getting cooler so we convinced her to get one dress and one pair of leggings and one shirt.

    I guess I need to figure out a birthday present for Jonah in this pay.

    Spent the bank holiday at my mum's in Yorkshire and ate sooooooo much. This often happens when I go to my mum's, she gets all the nice food in that I don't normally eat that much of and so I go a bit mad.

    Fresh start this week - I'm going to eat some healthy weight and start losing some of this weight I've gained! I also have to get strict about logging, ESPECIALLY when I have gone off plan. It's MORE important to log when you have gone off plan but that's always when I stop!


    Today's commitments:

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

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

    - 1h lunch break
    - Finish work at 6pm
    - French podcast
    - Write up notes on jobs
    - Plan outfit for wedding
    - Decide on new hair cut
    - Bake Off!
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights off by 11


    Words for 2019: Mindful Moderation
    (That's quite funny given this weekend's piggery, need to make that a reality...)

    After a terrible day yesterday I had a lovely evening at the theatre with my mum. We went to see the staged concert of Les Miserables with an all star cast and it was amazing. So today I woke up feeling a lot more positive and have gone out and done my long run for the week. So glad that it’s out of the way and I can stick to shorter ones for the rest of the week because it is super hot and quite uncomfortable. Still off strength training as my finger has not healed yet and the glue and strips came off so I’ll need to be quite careful with it. Mostly boring jobs for the rest of the day - maybe some cheeky sunbathing if it stays sunny....

    Monday goals recap:
    - print ticket confirmation email ✅
    - stop snacking, you’re not hungry ✅
    - hydrate ❎
    - theatre with mum✅
    - bed by midnight ❎

    Tuesday goals:
    - morning run ✅ 10 miles, scorching hot, glad that’s over!
    - hydrate
    - go and buy white paint at discount store
    - go and buy coloured paint at DIY store
    - online groceries
    - salt in dishwasher and set water hardness level??
    - Descale kettle and clean coffee maker
    - coffee with N?
    - bed by 10

    Good morning!! Yesterday I was doing really well until I got stressed out at night and went off the rails a bit. It's not the stressors fault so much as it is my own and I need to take responsibility for that!

    When I came home from work the neighbor stopped me and came over to tell me that the previous homeowner had been by saying he wanted to pick up some plants from the yard and some tools he left in the garage. It has been over a month! He has already been told by the realtors that he is not to come back to the property. He even said to the neighbor "nobody is home, do you think they changed the locks? I still have a couple of keys." The neighbor told "him don't even think about it you will go to jail for that!"

    I am just kind of in shock about that whole thing that he would even think that is remotely appropriate to do! If he does try to come in though .. He will be met by two pit bulls so I'm not too worried about that part.. But just the whole thing is so weird and uncomfortable to me!

    I just really thought this was all over with him but I guess not .. I need to not let that get to me though and stay in control of my eating, nobody can force me to eat more than I am supposed to, and today it will not happen! Also.. need to change the locks.

    Yesterday 8/26:

    1. Stay within calorie goal😔
    2. Finish work at 5:20😁
    3. Clean kitchen😁

    JFT 8/27:

    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Finish work at 5:20
    3. Finish painting bedroom

    Well, I'm 152 posts behind...

    Well I ran my race. Well I walked some also. With the walking it took me 20:22 so it could have been worse. Overshadowing that was my daughter (new profile pic) completing her 1st half marathon and meeting her time goal of 10:00/mile. It was 10:02/mile, but I told her that totally counts. She got 2nd in the 15-19 age group. Hubby ran the half as well. He was a little disappointed in his 1:50 time, but he is still coming back from injury and he ain't exactly getting younger.

    Biggest thing in my life right now is college shopping for my oldest. She wants to row in college, so we need to get her 2K times down so she is competitive. Her coach says she's capable and she is stubborn as he!! when she sets a goal. We have a nutritionist evaluating her diet and will give feedback. I will have a rowing machine in my living room for the next year and I meet with a perspective personal trainer for her tomorrow.

    Cool thing that Sierra did... All of the female athletes from her High School were invited to a Leadership and fitness day hosted by the marines. They did all kinds of exercises: runs, ammo box overhead press, teamwork exercises, etc. Then at the end they had a plank challenge: on the elbows, on the hands, side planks, plank jacks, walking planks,etc. through all of this you couldn't break form. The last three girls had to add in military push ups. The last two girls were stopped after 27:30 of planking/push ups. I can barely do a minute. I can't even imagine >27 minutes. The marines told my daughter she did text book push ups and one told her her arms were massive. She truly is my fitness icon.

    Goals Monday

    @aubyshortcake - the nerve of the previous owner. I would contact my realtor, maybe he can contact the previous owner. When we bought our place our realtors thank you gift to us was changing the locks. I thought that was brilliant.

    @Faebert - glad you had a good day. What is “cheeky sunbathing”? I’m picturing a thong with your butt in the air. 😂

    @maryrobinson40 - I’m happy to see you posting regularly again.

    I don’t know what got into me today. I was offered A&W for lunch. So I had a burger, fries and coke. I had made a salad to take to work and chose not to eat it. Then if that wasn’t bad enough, I decided pizza and garlic fingers would make a great supper with another coke. Can you say self-sabotage?

    I am just not liking the healthy foods right now and I don’t know how to make myself do it. I’m not even exercising to burn any calories. Ugh!!!!!

    I’m not giving up, on figure I’ll keep logging, weighing myself and posting goals and it will at least keep me aware of what I’m doing.

    Omg @snowflake1968 nooooo!!!! This butt is too old and too flat for a thong! Must be a British thing but I meant cheeky as in it’s a bit naughty/indulgent to lie around doing nothing.

    I just took steps one, two, and three tonight. I feel so empowered to surrender the foods I overeat. I realize, I can’t moderate certain foods. It’s time for a real change. #dayone
