    JFT Friday Morning
    - CrossFit at 5:30
    - Work by 8:30
    - 2 bottles of water before soda
    - protein bar and fruit for breakfast
    - lunch under 400cal

    Positive thought for the day: Tomorrow is a new chance to move towards a new you.

    So I didn't get up and go to CrossFit this morning. I needed to shower before I went and just couldn't get up at 4:00 to do it. I know why shower before you workout? Lets just say I skipped a day and shouldn't have. Anyway, I sent the Box a message today asking about how beginners fir into the mix and if there was a better class to attend. The owner who teaches the 5:30am class seemed very understanding and positive. I actually told him I'd be there tomorrow. Holy *kitten*! That's like a commitment to do something that scares me and excites me all at once. Wish me luck. Now I just gotta get up before the crack of dawn, but since I've told someone I'll be there, I will.

    Cheers all!

    It's very wet and windy at the moment is I will be hoping for a break in the weather for me to go for a walk.

    Today's B&B guests seemed settled in for the day and I had to evict them at 11:00 so that I could collect my grocery order. I got back at lunch time and decided to check their rooms before eating lunch. I found that the bath and basin in one of the rooms was not draining. I tried my best to clear it but needed to go back out to buy a new sink plunger. Lunch ended up being a protein chocolate bar on the way to the plumbers! I think I got the drain sorted but probably should not have had the large glass of wine to recuperate! My excuse was that guests were drinking Champagne before dinner! I stayed in the green despite the wine as lunch was a non event and I had my prepared lunch for dinner. No walk today as I had no time between sorting drains and bedrooms and the guests returning.

    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.😂😂
    OK...

    Round 2 -
    SW - 185.6
    CW -
    The SW is the weight the day we started 2nd round. I managed to lose one pound last time. CW is my daily weigh in.

    JFT - Thursday Aug 29
    2L of water - 1 and a bit.
    Log all food - 🙂
    Gratitude journal - 🙂

    JFT - Friday Aug 30
    2L of water
    Log all food
    Gratitude journal

    I managed to drink one bottle of water at work. I need to figure out how to get 2 in. I was worried I was starting my day out on the wrong foot this morning. The Administration office is right next to the dining room and kitchen, we smell all the food being cooked. Sometimes that smell is a turn off but some days like today it is really hard to resist the scents wafting over to us. The kitchen made cinnamon rolls! 1.00 each. I bought 6 for the office staff and managed to only eat one. It was delicious!

    I also didn’t have a Coke today and I was fighting with myself all day about it. I need to get past this craving so that I stop it again.

    Tomorrow I have my doctors appointment for my hip and my wrist so I only have 1/2 a day to finish my month end duties.

    I have read and caught up but my wrist is not wanting to type anymore to respond. Know that I love you all!

    Hi all! I'd like to get in on this round of the 5 lbs challenge! 5-10 is about all I have to lose so I know it's going to take me a long time but man am I struggling! I had lost 4 lbs a couple months ago and I think I've gained it all back..😭😭

    Yesterday 8/29:

    1. Stay within calorie goal😔
    2. Finish work at 5:20😑
    3. Work on painting bedroom😑 Alex did it, does that count?? Lol

    JFT 8/30:

    2. Finish work at 5:20
    3. WAIT and think before reaching for all the snacks

    Scale goals
    End 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 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.
    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. I am so ready for this play to be over. I forgot my protein bars today. Realized it shortly after I'd left the house. But I knew I'd have students coming in early to make up a test, so I couldn't go back. *sigh*

    AND the internet is down at school. Which means (a) I can't post this, (b) I can't sign in, (c) I can't take attendance, (d) I can't update the online daily log, (e) I can't post any grades...

    I'm just extra glad that the activities for my students don't require THEM to be online.

    oh, and we have a pep rally today, which means we'll finish the day encouraging all the students to make as much noise as possible.

    Internet's back. Let's see how the rest of the day goes. :P

    DISCARD 5 LBS CHALLENGE
    NAME: Hannah
    SW: 183.4
    GW: 178.4
    CW: 182.8
    WL: 0oz

    Yesterday was nice. I went on a walk with my Mom. We had a good time. Whenever we get together we chat like magpies (is that the right term? Lol). I finally heard back from the woman about the phone interview late in the afternoon yesterday but my phone wasn't charged and I was heading out the door. I'm not one to call someone 10 minutes before they're due to leave for the day. I *hated* when people did that to me at the bank so I called her back this morning. We had a nice chat and she's going to forward my intake to her office manager and she'll send me an application and schedule an interview. Woohoo! So we'll see about that.

    The other super exciting thing that happened was I finished my outline for my new story!! It was the first time I've ever done a full length book outline. AND I wrote the first chapter last night too. I'm really excited to keep going. Lol. I told myself a month ago that I would finish the darn outline before school started again and I did it!! I'm so proud of myself! Now I want to see how many chapters I can get finished before Wednesday.

    Okay! Onto goals!

    JFT, 8-30-19

    6. Do a yoga video
    7. STAY ON TOP OF THE DISHES

    JFT Thursday Afternoon and on
    - More training :)
    - Take S to Doctor & pick up lunch :)
    - home by 5:30 :)
    - rest :(
    - dinner, hubby is cooking :) Well hubby brought home pizza
    - Bible reading :)
    - bed by 10:00 :)

    JFT Friday Morning
    - CrossFit at 5:30 :)
    - Work by 8:30 :) 8:10
    - 2 bottles of water before soda :)
    - protein bar and fruit for breakfast :/ just protein bar

    Well, I managed to get up at 4:15 and make it to CrossFit by 5:30, really I got there way early. Means next time I can sleep until 4:30. Yes I said next time. It kicked my *kitten*, but the expectations were realistic and the people were very encouraging even when I had to lower my weight on the farmer carry. It was nice going to a gym where nobody knew me, where nobody had expectations for me and where the only person who I could disappoint is myself. Every where else I have worked out or ridden there are people who want me to join them just not understanding that I can't keep up right now. I'll see how I do at getting up for a week or two before I join. It's $13/class or $125/month. If I really go 3 x week, the membership is the way to go, but I'm afraid I'll quit again... The membership fee is too high to just not go. Maybe that would be incentive to keep going?? Anyway for now I'm excited by it.

    JFT Friday after 9:00
    - Get testing started:)
    - maybe skip 4 hour meeting :/ Went to 3 hrs
    - lunch <400 cal
    - countdown hours to leave
    - finish testing
    - home by 5:00 (maybe earlier)
    - straighten up a bit. V is having a friend over.
    - no idea whats for dinner
    - Bible reading
    - bed by 11:00

    Yesterday I was at 188.6, but if the challenge is starting today ... then take the 186.8. This will just make me work even harder!! Last time, my weight went up instead of down :'( Thanks Bex!

    @clicketykeys I keep meaning to ask, what does WFTY stand. I’m usually good at figuring these out but this one has me mystified 😂

    Can you take my weight from 28/08?

    My next 5 lbs will be difficult. I’ve only been below 160 once very briefly 3 years ago.

    It looks like it's going to be another wet day!
    . The afternoon and evening were nice. Not the best of days for me though - the bath in one of the guests rooms is not draining and I can't sort it out (plumber booked for Monday and fortunately I can shuffle guests around and not use this room for the moment) and I can't find my credit card ...... I used it yesterday in the house and keep it in my phone case. I have been out for a walk today and did open the phone case but I'd be very surprised if it was able to drop out. One more attempt to locate it tomorrow otherwise I will have to cancel it.

    WFTY = Word For The Year. I feel more like I'm doing a commando crawl this year, unfortunately.

    I'm gonna weigh tomorrow too, I haven't in a couple of months! Hoping this will help get me back in gear, I've been consistently eating over maintenance and I really need to get it under control.

    Well I went to the doctor and she didn’t have any quick fixes for my hip. She thinks I’ve torn the tiny fibres that make up the tendon and muscles that are connected to the bone in my butt. She has given me a prescription anti inflammatory that will help more than the over the counter stuff I’ve been taking, but she said really I need to give it time. So I guess the answer is patience which isn’t one of my strong suits. Her and I got laughing and talking about how I got injured I forgot to mention my wrist. It is better this week though since I’ve cut back on my phone usage and have rearranged my desk a bit at work. I’ll make another appointment if it doesn’t stay calm.

    @ZizzyBumble Glad that your credit card turned up. It's such a pain if you have to cancel them. Good luck with the plumber on Monday.
    @Snowflake1968 I can sympathise with the hip probs. And patience is also a problem for me! 😂

    The scale bounced back up a little this morning, which is what normally happens when I have a Whooosshhh like yesterday. Weight loss is seldom linear. If the trend is downward, I'm content.

    Yesterday was a WIN!!!! So proud of myself, now to keep the momentum going. I weighed myself for the first time in 2 months yesterday. I've gained 3 of the 4 lbs I lost back, so I need to buckle down. I don't have a lot of muscle mass and I have a small frame, so I unfortunately look best/ most fit when I'm at the bottom of the weight range for my height (and every single pound shows)🙄😭.

    Here are my stats for the 5 lbs challenge:

    Highest ever: 149.0
    SW/CW for challenge: 112.0
    GW: 105 - 107 depending.

    My lowest was 103 when I first did MFP and I lost a lot of muscle and didn't look very fit, just skinny. Im hoping to improve that this time around!

    Yesterday 8/30:

    1. Stay within calorie goal😁
    2. Finish work at 5:20😁
    3. WAIT and think before reaching for all the snacks😁
    4. Find scale😁

    JFT 8/31:

    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Finish painting bedroom finally
    3. WAIT and think before reaching for all the snacks
    4. Put clothes away
