I am so late writing goals that I probably shouldn’t bother, but I have them in my head all day and I want to keep the routine up.
I worked in the Early Bird Cafe at work this morning. I think I’ll be part of a meeting that will set up some new processes for there that will make it easier for us to get 20 or so residents fed in the time they demand but still have a restaurant feel.
I have made my costume for the Halloween festivities tomorrow. We as a leadership team are dressing up and will be judged by the residents. Then I’m the afternoon the neighbouring elementary school will be doing a costume parade and the residents will be handing out treats for them. We are expecting 300 students.
I am going as a bubble gum machine. I will post a pic tomorrow of my costume.
So sorry I have not had a chance to comment I have been reading but finding time so hard to come by.

Ok, so the plan didn't quite work...
I did not stick to my food plan for lunch - the lunch was slightly different to what I expected and it was also a really high-quality lunch (FAR higher than we normally get) so I felt compelled to make the most of it (bad excuse) and had a little bit of everything, which was more than I planned. However, I didn't have seconds and I also avoided the biscuits which were served at the coffee breaks. So I am reasonably pleased with that.
I also completely failed with my plan to leave the pub at 6.30 and go home and do productive things. I stayed at the pub till significantly later and did not do any productive things. I also ate quite a lot while I was at the pub. BUT progress has been achieved as:
- Although I left later than planned, I did actually leave before the end to catch the 22.15 train. This is progress on the last two occasions where I've missed the 23.30 train and ended up getting the 23.50/00.25 trains
- Whilst I did overindulge a lot in the pub, this morning I have ACTUALLY logged it all - vast progress on previous occasions where I have just not logged. And what's encouraging is whilst I consumed a lot (about 4,000 calories over the day), I have played around with my calories on a spread sheet this morning and worked out that assuming I stay on track for the rest of the week (factoring in some indulging on Friday evening, which we like to do), I will not gain weight this week and I may actually lose a little.
So overall while it wasn't a great day, I'm getting a little better...
I'm really happy that I managed to log in particular and I'm going to really make an effort to do this in future. I think my strategy needs to be taking pictures of what I'm eating (I did that at lunch) and drinking so that I can do it afterwards. Possibly stopping to take the pictures will make me a bit more mindful of what I'm consuming as well. Over time I need to work on reducing the amount I consume at these events, not just logging the damage afterwards.
The alcohol thing I can combat by alternating soft drinks and alcohol. It is really difficult to remember to do this in the moment but I think I have to make more effort. I like socialising with my colleagues, and I'm never going to be someone who leaves early. But I don't have to consume ridiculous amounts of alcohol to have fun. Thinking about this, I think what I might do is when someone asks if I want a drink (we have a culture of 'rounds' in the UK which is a nightmare for controlling consumption as it makes you much less mindful) I will alternate asking for an alcoholic one and asking for a diet tonic water. It's difficult asking for water as people look at you weirdly and they generally forget to bring it (and bar staff forget to do it!). But I can ask them for a paid-for non-alcoholic drink. I'm going to try that!
The food is a bigger issue with these post-work events. It tends to be either eating nothing but crisps, and then getting hungry on the way home and getting fast food.... OR as happened yesterday, partaking in lots of unhealthy sharing platters. Wherever possible, I need to find a way of eating smaller quantities of healthier food and I probably need a plan of how I'm going to do this beforehand. I think wherever possible, I will take food in to eat before I leave the office, and a healthy snack for the way home.
Anyway, sorry for all the waffle!

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 193.7
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.

WFTY: Climbing. I woke up ridiculously early. Yesterday my students told me that I should write an essay like I made them, so that's what I spent my morning time doing: research on a political candidate. Whee! (Actually it WAS pretty interesting.)2 -
JFT 10/30
Catch up on work
tried, but still had to take my mom to the doctor for most of the afternoon. I’m getting stressed
Practice presentation not making progress on this. Stress building.
Make soup taking soup to for lunch.
Exercise
nothing done. Not even a walk
Track I did but wasn’t green
Stretch nope
Overall it was not a great day. Thanks for the well wishes on my accident. No injuries, but on a big highway was very stressful. The other driver wasn’t very cooperative. Luckily the police came and wrote a report that showed I was not at fault.
I’m getting more stressed as my presentation approaches on Monday. Unfortunately it’s likely tied to a promotion so I need to nail it. But home life demands have been rough to balance. Plus other work piling up. I woke up early all worried about the work I need to do. And on top of that, worried about waking up early and not sleeping!
JFT 10/31
Track
Walk
Practice presentation
Catch up at work
Happy Halloween everyone!

JFT
1. Eat packed lunch ✔
2. Only 2 pieces of candy ✔
3. Hospital tour 👎 saved for a time DH can come instead
4. OB at 7 ✔
5. Water!!! ✔
6. Pack lunches for tomorrow ✔
7. Bed by 9:30 ✔
8. Reasonable dinner, figure out if going home before OB/hospital or Not? ✔
OB visit was a little frustrating. Met the practice owner Dr. And must say i really prefer the midwives. Dr. Mostly talked about herself? Which I get, getting to know oen another is nice but it was a bit one sided. She also cautioned me not to gain anymore weight. Which i also get, is their job. It was an evening appointment so my weight looked 10-15lbs higher than my actual usual morning appointment weigh ins I have had there. Noentheless I am heeding her warning and getting back to tracking my calories for the next month to keep the gain to a minimum. Ive gained about 17lbs depending on the day and I'm about 22 weeks. Learning as i go!
Also frustrated about my boss scheduling me for both christmas eve and new years Eve after it was discussed we would be closed. Granted its only 9am-2pm its not what I was planning. I told her its not what had been discussed, and she agreed that the change in plans was the owners idea so it can possibly be changed if he decides otherwise. I work in Pool retail, so its really not our busy season! Thats a ways off so trying not to let it bother me right now.

Morning started off crazed. I had forgotten to set alarm, and I overslept. I had to rush through getting myself ready, taking care of pets & prepping pork roast in crockpot. Only 1/2 hour late to work, but since we're in our lull period, no big deal.
Last night I enjoyed a wonderful time being pampered for my birthday month spa package. So relaxed, I almost dozed off at times. Getting in my car after, snowflakes were gently falling, and found out we had a winter weather watch! Too early!!! Once home, Kitty was throwing a fit, so I fed her & she calmed down. Found out later, hubby forgot to feed her before he left & I didn't get home until after spa... no wonder she was cranky!
Now things are settling down and I will try to stay on track today.3 -

Happy Halloween! We've got snow falling here in Wisconsin today. The highways were a cluster...accidents everywhere. Got to work late because I had to drive 20 mph instead of 70 mph. My own fault. I should know by now that the first snowfall of the year (that sticks to the ground) always brings out the worst in drivers. I find myself yearning for retirement more and more every week! It's so hard to get my winter coat on and go out into the snow to go to work, while my DH is in his warm pj pants in his recliner, sipping a hot cup of coffee and watching the morning news. I'm so envious!!! I don't like that about myself either, so I'm working on it.
Today will be a quiet day in the office for me. One of my teammates is working up north today and the other will be working from home this afternoon, so I will have the office to myself. I'll turn on my Himalayan Salt Lamps, start up the essential oil diffuser and turn off the fluorescent lights in the ceiling to create a bit of ambiance! It's actually really quite nice that way!
@Snowflake1968 your gumball machine costume is so creative! Cute!
@Bex953172 That can't be MY little Casey crying on the floor...I just KNOW she wouldn't do that!
@cschmitz110515 Your spa day sounds lovely! I have been craving one. I plan on buying myself an hour massage at the Day Spa in De Pere when I finally hit the 170's....IF I ever hit the 170's...

My goal are basically the same. I am going to do this until these become habits.. then I will change them. Trying to keep it simple
My friends were here last weekend, and we were out on a rainy, cold day. So I end up with the worse cold! I've been drinking orange juice, trying to do whatever I can to get over it, and hope hubby does not get it. Next thrusday we leave for Michigan for our sons wedding reception ... so we can't be sick! Plus we are suppose to stay overnite with all the grandkids so they can spend the nite at the hotel.
I told hubby I just have a bad feeling about the whole trip.. so I need to get this out of my head. I had my hair colored and cut last week... and my hairdresser could not find my card of notes. SO I ended up with a hair color I hate -- its more of a ash color, and a haircut that I just can't do anything with!! Last month she colored it, and It had lavender tones ... I guess I should have gone to someone else, but I've been going to her for almost 4 years. SO bummed about that .. then I get sick! Just not in the mood to drive more north ... and we are getting super cold weather. I am just not ready for winter... I still have garden work to do!!
Anyhow, my goals today again will be simple. I am going to try and read up on all the posts .. I am so very far behind on here!
Goals for today
1. mindful eating
2. drink 4 glasses of water before I drink a diet pepsi
3. 8+ water
4. drink water in the evening ... no snacking, or just ONE planned snack4 -
This is how our week's weather has been:
Sunday ~ gorgeous day
Tuesday ~ early snow
Thursday (today) ~ ack!

I was in such a cranky mood due to asst. manager's snarky comments on my annual eval last August that I wrote out my "retirement countdown" on the back of an envelope that I carry around in my purse LOL. I listed milestones to shoot for, starting with turning 62 (done! eligible for SS benefits, even if low), vesting 100% in 401(k) plan at work (Jan. 2021), etc. Makes it more livable for me, knowing if I HAD to, I could quit tomorrow (or at least soon) with resources available.PackerFanInGB wrote: »I find myself yearning for retirement more and more every week!

@cschmitz110515 Your spa day sounds lovely! I have been craving one. I plan on buying myself an hour massage at the Day Spa in De Pere when I finally hit the 170's....IF I ever hit the 170's...
I love the Day Spa! That's where I always go nowadays. I like the bday month packages, and I attend their annual Open House (Dec. 2 this year) so I can buy 3 get 4. Of course I always opt for 90-minute massages in my package.3 -
@cschmitz110515 Good for you! I wish I could at 62! But I need medical coverage. I'm looking at 65 for Medicare. Boo. I'm hoping to go down to 32 hours a week at some point in the next year or two and just kind of start slowing down a bit. I realy think that is a good idea though. I think I will spend some time this weekend coming up with a list of milestones to hit on my way to 2025! Thanks for the insight!
I am going to have to look into the Day Spa bday month packages. I didn't know anything about those! I also didn't know they had 90 minute massages! (Can you see how seldom i treat myself to a massage?) 90 minutes would be amazzzzzzzzzzing! I'm going to look into it! Dec 2nd is now on my calendar to stop at the Open House! Maybe I can get a deal and reward myself with milestones as I hit them! Thank you for keeping me in-the-know around here... 1 -

Happy Halloween! We've got snow falling here in Wisconsin today. The highways were a cluster...accidents everywhere. Got to work late because I had to drive 20 mph instead of 70 mph. My own fault. I should know by now that the first snowfall of the year (that sticks to the ground) always brings out the worst in drivers. I find myself yearning for retirement more and more every week! It's so hard to get my winter coat on and go out into the snow to go to work, while my DH is in his warm pj pants in his recliner, sipping a hot cup of coffee and watching the morning news. I'm so envious!!! I don't like that about myself either, so I'm working on it.
Today will be a quiet day in the office for me. One of my teammates is working up north today and the other will be working from home this afternoon, so I will have the office to myself. I'll turn on my Himalayan Salt Lamps, start up the essential oil diffuser and turn off the fluorescent lights in the ceiling to create a bit of ambiance! It's actually really quite nice that way!
@Snowflake1968 your gumball machine costume is so creative! Cute!
@Bex953172 That can't be MY little Casey crying on the floor...I just KNOW she wouldn't do that!

WOY 2019: TENACITY -- I will NOT give up!
lol don't. I couldn't believe it myself! She's growing up too fast!!
We've just got back from trick or treating and everyone immediately gave the girls sweets and assumed Casey being a baby wouldn't want any but oh no, she stuck her hand out lol!!
And then at one house she did a REALLY loud trump and shouted "BUTT" and I just had to laugh and say "that was the trick.."5 - Only eat between the hours of 10:00/10:30a and 6:00/6:30p

@snowflake your costume turned out awesome! It's so original.
@bex any pictures of all 3 witches?
@cschmitz110515 your pictures are amazing showing those colors changing so fast. I'm going to start thinking about your retirement milestones, that makes sense to me (what's on your list?). We talk about "retirement"/I want to in 4ish years and dh response is completely that "I" need to start downsizing now (as we also talk about moving out of state). But there is no certainty about when, or where or to what, so "downsizing" makes no sense to me now.

Marley eyebrows are my favourite lol!! They were my doing! Lol! But after I wiped it off her blonde eyebrow hairs were still black, oops!
