Weight down another 1.2 this week. Currently 151 (was 162 on March7 when started back with logging. This is least I have weighed since July 2018. Just occurred to me I posted my weight here, and my husband died never knowing my weight! I must be a sick woman, but I find that amusing!
Back to work tomorrow. These days off have me thinking retirement looks good!

Not a lot of time this morning so just posting some goals:
- Log everything I eat
- Be in the green
- 3+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- 45+ minute lunch break

- French verbs (practise)
- French podcast
- French reading

Today's positive thought: 12 days till freedom from French exam
I'm probably not going to have much time for posting over the next 12 days - lots of work still to do for my French exam! I'm going to keeping posting goals, and reporting back on them, but I may not write much detail around them and probably won't have time to comment on others' posts either. I will be thinking of you all though and look forward to catching up again when I'm freeeeeeee!

Good luck with the revision @bookmeister86!
I’m in a bit of a funk this morning. Meant to go for a long run and didn’t end up going. No bad thing to take a rest day but it wasn’t planned. Hopefully I’ll feel more motivated tomorrow. The good news is I’ve finished my reports with the rest of the week now clear. Some admin done this morning and maybe I’ll burn some calories with a garden tidy this afternoon.
Monday goals recap:
- morning workout ✅
- put away laundry ✅
- reports ✅ finished them - whoop!
- quality time with the kids ✅ went to the cinema and saw Aladdin!
- bed by 10 ✅
Tuesday goals:
- rest day ✅
- call vet and car service ✅
- walk/jog to cafe with kids
- health food store
- take P to play date pm, quality time with L
- start paperwork and gardening?
- bed by 9:30
Have a good day everyone x2 -
Good morning my friends!
Back to the grind, I guess. I love holiday weekends but I also hate them because it makes it that much harder to get back into the swing of work. I hope everyone is doing well this morning. I'm in a pretty good frame of mind at the moment but it is also only 6 am. Lol.
I'm spending some time over D's house this afternoon and depending on what time I get out of work I may stop by the gym before I go. I'll bring my gym clothes with me just in case. I went for a walk around a local neighborhood with my parent's dog, Bay, yesterday. It was really nice. I worked up a good sweat but mainly because it was really hot out. Lol. Way hotter than it should be here at the end of May. I'm giving more and more credence to Matt's idea that someone in the world has a weather machine and they obviously don't like us.
I haven't done a positive thought most of the month but I think it is something that I need to start doing again. So here is todays: This morning I was able to get up when I wanted to without hitting the snooze button AND I didn't go back to sleep after I took my shower.
I think that those are pretty good positives because they are usually things I have a lot of trouble with.
Okay so onto goals!
JFT, 5/28/19
1. Log all my food(estimate the best I can at D's house)
2. If I leave early from work GO TO THE GYM

5. GET COFFEE
6. Figure out dinner for Matt
7. FINISH THE DISHES!!!! THERE ARE ONLY A FEW LEFT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!(Don't you love my little pep talk?)

9. Bed before 10:30
Okay got to run! Have a great day everyone!4 -

JFT 5/27 Recap:
Eat mindfully within calories Over by a lot but it was mostly mindful
90 minutes exercise 60 minutes Which isn't bad but did not meet my goal
Healthy Choices 5 veg/2 fruit
Drink lots of water Drank wine instead!
Keep sodium low today Went out to lunch and had a big ole burger and fries
Max out points on apple watch challenge
I did not keep on track yesterday at all! I have my period and it's a doozy. I have been cranky and in pain for the last 3 days basically. Yesterday was really bad for pain and then by the evening I was just exhausted from it. It's still awful today. Plus my weight has crept up all week. I think I'm going to just give myself a day off from everything today and just roll with whatever comes my way.
JFT 5/28
Go for a walk
Keep sodium to a minimum
drink lots of water
rest
make an obgyn appt
Lots of fruit & veggies

4. Align assessments to OW units. Count books.
5. Review grades. Check and sign. Fill out form.

7. Library to return/check out. Close account at Y.
8. Begin phone research. Make quinoa salad: quinoa, farro, spinach, tomatoes, onions, olives. Celery? CHEESE.
9. Therapy exercises at 8:30: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, plank. MEDS. Floss, rinse, brush teeth. In bed by 8:45; devices off by 9:00. Alarm set for 5:00.
Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 193.4
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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: Dentist. Onco. PCP. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia???
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.
WFTY: Climbing.
Positive thought: I can make it.

Ah ok, yes I think this year has been breaking records. It's a bit scary! I live in Southwest Florida and I think we've hit 95 a couple times in the past week! 😰2 -
Good morning all! Yesterday my mom and I looked at four houses and I spoke with two mortgage brokers. This has all been really exciting but also a little scary and I think on top of the TOM cravings I'm also stress eating because of it!
There is one house I really really love, I want to show my husband later this week and hopefully he will like it as much as I do. He had to work long hours all weekend and yesterday and he is exhausted so I haven't wanted to really bother him with it just yet.
Today I go back to work so I hope.. No..I WILL be staying within my goals. It always helps being away from the house and the snacks that I buy too many of 😆. At least I did manage to get my workout in, even if I ate way too much.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Yesterday was a complete rest day for me and now I am ready for getting out of the house. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my surgery. Maybe I'll drive myself to the grocery store! This coming weekend I am getting together with a group of close friends (8 of us) for our annual Chick Weekend. We've been getting together for 21 years. It all started when 2 of them turned 50 and now people are turning 70. How the heck did THAT happen???? This will be a melancholy year as one of us succumbed to cancer. We're all eager to be together. My husband will drive me the 4 1/2 hours to the rental house and then spend the weekend with a close friend in Santa Barbara.
Being at home and feeling better has lead to more day time snacking - I was about 200 in the red yesterday. Time to get more active.
JFT 5/28/19
Pretrack to 1500-1600 calories
Get 4000 steps in and PT exercises X2
Do some chores - clean off patio furniture, grocery shop
No snacking or wine after dinner.
Have a good week everyone.

I checked out this weekend. Had planned meals, tossed them to the wind Saturday at work for donuts and pizza. Had plans to order a healthy meal, got mcdonalds on the way home instead. Attempted to portion out correct amount of brownie serving, ate half the batch. Friday was great though, the dress fit - and I ordered a Cesar salad with grilled salmon. Fortunately I got my steps in at work on Saturday and did lots of gardening Sun/Mon so atleast I kept moving. I am SO pooped today though.

Had a good day yesterday and got a lot accomplished for the bachelorette. Today I am going out with Kaitlyn for the day. We have about 8 stops to make not including her nail appointment with Jasmyne. It will be a long day and we'll probably eat out somewhere along the line.
Today is two weeks from the interview and I was told I would hear in two weeks. I think if I don't hear today, I'll contact Sarah tomorrow and ask her if a decision has been made.

@HEGoddard0928 - That sounds like an interesting course to take. Maybe taking on a new challenge in the course will help with your depression, it's exciting learning new things and gives hope. How is Matt feeling? The day after a long weekend always suck, but you have a good attitude about it this morning.
@cschmitz110515 - It's great to see you back. It must be nice to have such a busy time over. That fawn is so cute, I wonder where it's Mama was.
@jacqui2494 - I think we all have those body image issues in some form or other. When I was thin I thought I was bigger looking, now that I'm bigger I think I look ok. I guess there is no pleasing me.
@ginnytez - My husband wouldn't know my weight either, he knows I've been losing but he has no idea how big I was to start with.
@maryrobinson40 - I think NC is one of my favourite states. I used to go with my husband on the truck and he drove a lot on the Eastern Seaboard. Another favourite of mine is Virginia and New Mexico. Texas wasn't what I had imagined it to be in my mind so it was a letdown.
@bookmeister86 - Good luck studying for your exams. That will be nice to have behind you.
@Faebert - Maybe having the admin work done and off your plate will give you more time for yourself the rest of the week so will pay off in the long run.
@korina75 - Hugs, I hope your back to yourself soon
@clicketykeys - I think that is the shortest goal list I've ever seen you write. I didn't look at the spoiler's just the main one though so I could be way off.
@aubyshortcake - It sure is exciting looking, hopefully you get just the perfect house for you.
@lafayettenana - What a wonderful thing to do for 21 years, sorry you lost one that must be hard. I miss my girlfriends. I only have a 37 day wait though and my best friend will be here for the wedding. She is going to be here a couple of days after my MIL leaves so we'll have some alone time.
Well I should go iron my new shirt and pants, flatten my hair and get dressed for my day with Kaitlyn. She is supposed to be here in about an hour to get me.5 -
