I’m going to try to add a little activity in to see how that goes with my hip. I need to do something to try to get the weight loss going in the right direction again.

Busy day yesterday .. went to the gym, then walked 5 miles. Found out once again we have to fill out the tons of paperwork to try and keep out daughter on disability. How can we get mad at her for trying to work?? Yet, if she works, they want to take her off disability. She has paranoid schizo . so she can fake working for 1 hour a day. Not enough to live on ... but enough that she can lose disability. So that letter ruined out day yesterday.
Hubby and I were going to go out to eat, but instead ordered in pizza, and then I gave into a large bowl of ice cream. Not good choices.
Today I will be going over her bank statement to figure out how much she made all year, and just pray they realize how she needs the disability.
Praying for all those in line for hurricane dorian! Be safe.Year 2017 Jan 1: 217

Hi all, sorry I have been awol for a few days. Have had a bit of a rough time - boyfriend troubles, a sickness bug, then a disaster with the house renovations, first we lost all hot water, then a massive flood through the ceiling. We go back to school tomorrow and I’m now seriously stressed and feeling v disorganised because the house is a building site. This was not how it was supposed to be but I guess it can’t be helped. I got out for a run this morning after cancelling three times in three days due to all of the above. Felt better afterwards and have managed to hit the rest of today’s goals so will hopefully have a less stressful evening.
Sunday goals:
- morning run ✅ 10 miles! 😀
- Builder to sort boiler at 10:30am ✅
- Shopping centre for kids’ new school shirts, socks and school shoes ✅
- Lunch with parents ✅
- Visit tile shop on way home ✅
- Laundry ✅
- Tidy kids’ rooms and lay out uniform ✅
- Kids’ hair wash ✅
- Face pack and early night
Catch up with you all in the morning x4 -

I'm back from vacay! All of them! Summer is officially over diet wise, that's for sure. August was a minefield with all of the traveling I did. I am ready to kick things back into high gear but this time I am more realistic. I'd like to lose 4 of the lbs I gained over the month of august and get myself back on track with exercise. That's really where I feel the most off balance.
JFT:
30 minutes exercise
Eat within calories
drink water
get laundry caught up/car cleaned out
Luckily the kids don't start school until Wednesday so I have a few extra days of calm before I have to start getting up early again!
Will try to catch up a bit later but I've missed seeing everyone's updates and hope all is well!4 -

Well I didn’t do so well yesterday and all of the sodium I had eaten the last couple of days is showing on the scale today. I’m hoping it’s mostly that and not actual weight.
I am off today for Labor Day and am looking forward to the kids coming for a visit. I am going to try to do some crafting as well.
@Faebert - I hope your house woes get straightened out fast for you and you have a good first day back to school for you and the girls.
@TerriRichardson112 - I love how you are posting your posts. You are doing so well.
@mytime6630 - I am so sorry you have to go through the paperwork again for your daughter’s disability. I don’t understand how one hour a day could make up enough that they want to cancel it. They should be recognizing that she is trying, not punishing her for it. Hugs to you.
@ZizzyBumble - my husband started a conversation the other day about winning the lottery and asked where I would want to travel. I told him about your Isle of Skye and looked up some pictures. He didn’t think he would want to return. The conversation started because there was a man here in Edmonton that won 60 Million and hid it from everyone, including his wife for 10 months before claiming it. My husband asked what I would do if he hid it from me. I told him it might not go over so well for him. 😂
@korina75 - I hope to see you back posting regularly soon.
There was more but I can’t remember now and didn’t take notes today.

Good morning! Happy Labor Day to those who are celebrating or off work for a long weekend.I don't even know what I have posted and what I have not about the past few weeks, but I'll just summarize by saying we helped my mom put together the military service and work with the mortuary, got through the service, brought my mom home with us to Wisconsin last Friday and she decided she wanted to go home and face what's coming so my husband and her left today. My husband is driving her back and staying a few days to finish some yard work he had started and to meet with a repair man for her water softener. She is terrified of being there alone and I believe will put the house up for sale ASAP and try to move up here near family. So....it's been emotional and exhausting all tied up with one big *kitten* bow. I'm actually kind of glad she decided to go home today instead of tomorrow as planned, since it gives me one day by myself before returning to work tomorrow. I'm sure I'm at least 200 emails behind and feeling a bit overwhelmed about going back. I hope that doesn't make me sound like a terrible selfish person. I'm just really exhausted.
My husband is one of the most wonderfully kind men I've ever known, and I'm so thankful that he offered to drive mom back whenever she wanted to go. He's making the trip alone (8-hour drive) and they've never spent that much time together, so I've actually placed him on a pedestal in my mind right now! I'm trying to think of something I can do for him in return. Ideas are welcome!
I am not even going to pretend that I have been eating well while gone assisting mom, because my husband and I have only had 2 home-cooked meals in the past 2 weeks. I've been really doing well with water intake though.
It's in the low 70's here this weekend and I am so happy! The older I get, the less I tolerate heat and humidity. I've not been outside much this summer. I think once I'm able to get off one of my meds (2 1/2 more years), my hot flashes will be fewer and things might get back to normal, but for now I'm a walking furnace waiting to kick on! haha! I think a walk with Maddie might be in order today...
I'd like to get in on the 2nd round of 5 lb challenge if it isn't too late? I just weighed myself this morning.

Got my walk in yesterday .. and helped our daughter clean her apartment. I spent all day going over her paystubs... and trying to break down for her where all her money is going.
Happy Labor day to everyone. I don't have anything planned other than a trip to the fabric store, and then just grilling today.
Praying for everyone in Dorian's path. My brother lives near vero beach, but thank goodness he is still in the nursing home.. and they have a backup generator. It is still very scarry.Year 2017 Jan 1: 217

@mytime6630 I was sorry to read you are having to deal with disability office again! It seems so wrong to me that she would be "punished" for trying to do what she can! You are all in my prayers.
I hope you can get away and have a bit of fun at the fabric store. I took my mom to the fabric shops around here while she was staying with us and it was fun. I found a little quilt shop that I'd been wanting to check out but never had and now it's my new guilty pleasure! LOL The owner actually has bins with pre-cut squares and pre-cut strips which are left over from projects she does, and you can dig through and purchase by the ounce! $1/ounce of precuts. They are random pieces but I had a blast digging through those. I do love my precuts.
Love and hugs to you my friend. xoxo2 -
Sorry everyone i will get round to posting the updated stats, just been a bit hectic over here, will explain later lol!

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?

WFTY: Climbing. I am immensely frustrated with myself. I don't binge. But I snack. And it's like I have this stubborn two-year-old inside of me that repeatedly says "But I want it! PLEEEEASE?" And I cave SO MUCH.3 -
Firstly, I finally weighed myself for the Discard 5lb challenge Round 2.

The long weekend was good. No real plans. Went for a bike ride with hubby Saturday, then mostly just helped my youngest daughter with her history project. We painted and laughed and I even learned a little about the Indus River Valley Civilization and the Goddess Kali.
Went to CrossFit last Friday and it was good. Went back today and I felt like a weak, uncoordinated idiot. Such is life. I didn't cry and I didn't quit. As a matter of fact I paid for 9 more classes. WTF was I thinking. Get up at 4:15am to drive 30 minutes, to feel like a schmuck. Yeah, I'm going to try something new in hopes for a different outcome. Consistence has not been my thing as of late, so we'll see.

Right okay, so Ash had an accident in the car the other day. It was very low mph. He rear-ended someone but it wasnt fully his fault, just unavoidable really.
The man in front was turning left (same as ash) onto a narrow strip of road, theres no give way signs or priority signs so people just judge between themselves to get down the road and letting others have right of way.
So thr guy infront makes the turning, and he was round the corner and ash pulled out too, the guy infront slammed on the brakes because some a hole decided to force his way down the street at speed, and ash slammed on but it was too late.
Fortunately, the guy infront only had paint damage, our front end is pretty trashed. And he was happy enough to leave insurance out of it as his damage was so minor, so he got it priced up and it was 300 quid which were paying tomorrow.
So thats sorted.
So we had to ask ashs mum for 200 quid. Shes just moved house so shes stressed, but she does have a large sum of excess money as she made profit on her old house. Now i know that means it doesnt mean we have a right to it which is fair enough and we didnt even think of it in that way, (but she took jt that way, that we were just after money) his dad said that if he didnt have to run it through her he would of helped in an instance, moneys just money and it eas an accident. But she always seems to think we do things on purpose to get money. Bearing in mind were going to pay her back, we dont struggle as much as we used to now we have a proper budget. But all our excess money is at the end of the month.
So basically she grilled ash for 5 hours about it when we had gone round, then assumed we only went for money which we actualy went to take the kids round before they went back to school but they werent interested.
We then went back today to carry on helping out with clearing their garden but they clearly just didnt want us there. It was awkward as hell.
So ash ifs feeling pretty crappy about that, he didnt want a side order of guilt. And then today, ANOTHER person oulled out on us and wehad to slam on AGAIN. we shouted at them, and they said sorry, and we said well you wouldnt be just sorry if we hit you, youd be hurt. We were then okay with him, it just shocked us adter the crash the other day. Then a bus driver, out of effing no where shouted "get on with it "
Ash unleashed his wrath and you know what, i didnt even stop him.
So yeah, stress stress and more stress.
So we decided to sod his parents for the time being, and focus on us and the girls, so we had a day with Casey, ash had a bath with sask and we played with them for a bit, and me and ash had some time together and were feeling better again.
Sorry that was an ESSAY!
TLDR: Me and ash had 4 consecutive stressful days, thats why ive not been here, but all good now lol!4 -

My mom is pissed at me as well, and I don't even know why. She is doing her passive aggressive thing and I've just decided to let her be miserable. I text her every few days get a short one word reply and then move on with my day. I just refuse to ask her what is wrong, because I'm just not up for the guilt or the drama. That woman is bat *kitten* crazy!
That being said, I'm glad you are getting some time with the family away from the craziness that is life!
Take care love!

New here. So there is a lose 5lbs challenge this month? Looking for everyday motivation and accoutability
Yeah its hopefully an ongoing challenge. So as soon as someone loses 5lbs it resets with everyones current weight. Weve had one winner so far so it reset a few days ago.
I think the only rules were weighing a couple of times to make sure it was accurate.
No extreme dieting or anything deemed unhealthy.
No one with eating disorders because we dont want to encourage an illness
And aslong as your weight shows -5lb then you win, doesnt matter if its up the next day because you cant help the daily fluctuations, just be as accurate as you can!
You in? 4 -
Tuesday 3 September
Just realised I failed to post goals today. I did stay in the green and ate 5 fruit and veg plus meet my Fitbit goals. I have new wool to make an Arran sweater dress and got absorbed in that. I did not drink water and did not get out for a walk. The bathroom is now draining properly so I cancelled the plumber. Fingers crossed that the problem has gone away after my efforts with the plunger.2
