Scale goalsEnd 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 cut1. 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. And we're halfway through the day and I'm scrambling to keep up and there was a fire drill and a teacher went home sick but no subs are available so I'll be covering that class during planning and I have rehearsal tonight and UGH.2 -

8:30
Prepare for Skype meeting
Train Lab folks
Work on X-Ray Finally got it lined out.
Lunch
Modify some procedures
Check in on MFP
Work on training documents
Home by 5:30 (really hope I can make until 5:00. I'm rather tired/bored)
Meet with Sierra's prospective trainer He was great. I may start training at that gym as well.
Dinner out Mexican, but not too bad.
Bible Reading Had to really talk myself into last night
Gratitude Journal - Not sure why I always seem to skip this. I am really grateful. still didn't do it
Bed by 11:00
I don't know when I went to bed, but the news was on.
JFT Wednesday morning
Work by 8:00 (with hair & makeup done) came in early, 6:30
2 bottles of water before soda Nope
Protein bar for breakfast Yep
More training got pushed to tomorrow.
Met with Sierra's new trainer last evening. I really like him. He trains out of a crossfit gym. I my give crossfit another try. I did it a few years back during the summer, but once school started I couldn't do 5am. By the next summer the place was gone. Now that the kids are largely self sufficient there is no problem with me leaving the house at 4:45am. I'm thinking the group atmosphere will help me keep going back. God knows working out alone hasn't worked lately. Bonus is its in a neighboring town so there will be fewer people I know. Its easier for me to struggle in front of people who didn't know me when I was fit. Anyway, the prospect of working out and being pushed has me really excited. Now if I can get over my fear of feeling stupid when I walk into the room, I'll be golden.
Tonight is another night of Mexican food. I forgot that my daughter had a fund raiser tonight at a local restaurant. If we get done in time I'll take V to another church's youth group and then head to my church. Heck maybe I'll stay at that church and investigate a bit. V knows very little about this church but was invited to go. The church doctrine differs from ours in some ways that I don't like, but most of the big stuff aligns. I know she thrives in a large group environment, which we don't have at our church, but Tim said when we start our youth group back up next week she needs to go with us. I don't entirely agree with that. Yes we are youth leaders, we teach the teens, and our youth program is struggling as the average age of the church is probably over 60. There haven't been any new families in years. I'm referred to as a youngster and I'm almost 46 yo. Back to the point, I would rather my daughter go to a youth program where she is engaged and excited about learning about the Lord. She likes our youth group, but there is no one her age and there just aren't many exciting things to do with 4, maybe 6 kids (pastor's daughter, the deacon's daughter, youth leader's(mine) daughters - none of them really have a choice). I don't know my older daughter is quiet and has a hard time making friends, she would not be comfortable in a large group, or I'd look for another church. I'll check out this church, and another she likes that is more aligned with our beliefs. If they have sound fundamentals and the youth group is not just a fun place to hang out, but an opportunity to get closer to God, I'll talk to hubby about it.

Hello again!
I've been terrible this past week. My mood has been all over the place but I think that a lot of that has to do with TOM coming 4 days early. So I'm just hoping that it's over soon and my moods go back to normal.
So I had two interviews for potential jobs in the field that I've been training in. I was hired at one but I don't know if I'll take it because it's more of an independent contractor kind of job that I have to wait to be placed with a client and am working with just a supervisor instead of a team. The second is only one day a week 5 hours a day so if I get that I think I might take it and then get a small like stocking job somewhere for the weekends to bring in the money that we need move into the front house. I think I want this job and if I am offered it it will be a valuable experience that I need to be able to get my certification that I can then use to get an even better job somewhere else.
School starts next Wednesday so I only have a week left of summer. I already signed up for my first 3 days of subbing. I am going to stick to the high school that is where the Autism program is based. I'm pretty sure I can get a long term position there and that will be more experience that I can use later on as well. So we'll see. I am still bound and determined to get into that house by my birthday which is exactly one month away. So keep those fingers crossed and send up some prayers that this can actually happen!
Okay. So today I slept a lot and did some cleaning as well as some reading. I have dinner in the crockpot waiting to be eaten and a sink full of dishes that I have been putting off for about 2 days. So I will ATTEMPT to tackle that tonight.
So hopefully I will be back tomorrow morning and come up with some goals to post. Lol3 -

@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.
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.
😂😂😂 we use the term cheeky here too sort of means naughty, like a sassy child is being cheeky. I thought I was missing something, but hey if you want to sunbathe your cheeks I think you should!2 -

@maryrobinson40 - that woman with coffee is me in the mornings too and since I’ve started this job, I’m not even getting coffees.
@mytime6630 - It’s nice to see you post.
@HEGoddard0928 - prayers going up for you.
@aubyshortcake - I don’t envy you moving in and having to do all that work.
@clicketykeys - I hope tomorrow is better for you.

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
Yes, change the locks and call the realtor and tell her/him. Beyond ridiculous.3 -

Better day today food wise. I am hungry and I’m going to have some pickles and cheese before I go to bed.
I can’t seem to get my water in and I’m thinking I need to take some water bottles to work with me instead of using my reusable bottle.
We were going to have the Grands for a sleepover Friday night but Rodger’s cousin won tickets to a race on Saturday so we are going to go to that instead. I will have the kids for a sleepover on Jonah’s and my birthday in a couple of weeks instead.

Congratulations!! Super impressed with your loss. 5 lb in a month is great!4 -
Didn't have time to post yesterday morning, was WFH and did my workout first thing followed by getting on with my work. The last two days have been decent though. I have over eaten a little but not too much - have stayed within maintenance which is better than most days recently!
Today is my direct report's last day but one. It will be challenging for two reasons:
- I have to give her a leaving speech! I've never done this before and am a bit nervous. I've written it now, hopefully people will laugh in the right places and not leave me looking stupid.
- She's having both a leaving picnic and leaving drinks, both of which are major potential overeating occasions. I have a plan for how to deal with these, hopefully this will work!
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat AS I GO
- Buy healthy food to eat at lunchtime picnic and stick to that
- Buy a snack to eat before work drinks
- Buy healthy food to eat on way home
- Drink plenty of water with each alcoholic drink
- 4+ bottles water overall
- Stay within maintenance
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- Finish work by 6pm
- French podcast
- Train home by 22.15 or earlier

Today is my direct report's last day but one. It will be challenging for two reasons:
- I have to give her a leaving speech! I've never done this before and am a bit nervous. I've written it now, hopefully people will laugh in the right places and not leave me looking stupid.
- She's having both a leaving picnic and leaving drinks, both of which are major potential overeating occasions. I have a plan for how to deal with these, hopefully this will work!
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat AS I GO
- Buy healthy food to eat at lunchtime picnic and stick to that
- Buy a snack to eat before work drinks
- Buy healthy food to eat on way home
- Drink plenty of water with each alcoholic drink
- 4+ bottles water overall
- Stay within maintenance
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- Finish work by 6pm
- French podcast
- Train home by 22.15 or earlier

Good morning everyone!
Today is a new day. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about today. Why? I have no idea. Lol. But it's supposed to be really nice out so I'm thinking I might go for a walk at the local park and maybe bring my parent's dog with me. I also plan on getting back into doing yoga so that is also something that I want to do today as well. I need a way to destress that isn't food and a way to be able to get some exercise in before my day starts once school is back in session. I'm hoping that will be what I need. Lol.
Two years ago when I was let go from a job I bought a planner and started planning out my days and when I was going to do things. I think I might go buy another one and start doing that again. It was amazing how much I could get done in a day. So that will be on my need-to-buy list for the next time we get money.
Okay, onto goals!
JFT, 8/29/19
1. Log all my food(good, bad, and ugly)
2. DO THE FRICKEN DISHES!!
3. Do a yoga video
4. Vacuum the living room
5. Take up the trash can
6. Do laundry
7. Drink 100oz of water
Okay I think that that is going to be it for the day.

Good morning! I have to be quick as I've been lazing around lol.
@Snowflake1968 it definitely has been a bit overwhelming! It's fun to slowly make it our own but the amount of stuff needed is exhausting! I also think I need to learn some patience lol.
@toaljasa you are very right, hoping to change them this week!

I WISH I WERE AT THE BEACH, ON A BALCONY, OVERLOOKING THE WATER.
I WISH I WERE AT A SPA BEING PAMPERED, I WISH I HAD SPECIAL MOMENTS
TO SHARE EACH DAY THAT WOULD CHASE THE BLUES AND BLAHS AWAY.
I'M NOT SAD, I'M NOT STRESSED, I'M NOT EVEN REMOTELY DEPRESSED...
I'M JUST SHARING THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OF WHAT I HOPE LIFE COULD
BE, BUT I TRULY KNOW THAT I'M BEYOND BLESSED. 🙌 😀 ☺
I HUM A TUNE HERE AND THERE, I LAUGH AND GIGGLE I DO... I SWEAR.
I LAUGH AT MYSELF TRYING TO HOLD UP MY PANTS AND UNDERWEAR.
I THINK TO MYSELF WHY CAN'T WE KNOW OUR NEW SIZE AHEAD OF TIME
SO THAT WE CAN BE PREPARED? CAUSE WHEN WE LOSE WEIGHT, NAKED IS
OUR FATE, WHEN THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS THERE.😂😂
