Ash let me use the car to grab sask from school thank god, the only reason he doesn't at times it's because it's literally a 5-10 min walk and is a waste of petrol to drive 2 mins. But with my foot be sore he's said to drive.
Which I'm also glad for because it's freeeeeZing today. It's only 4C• (I know the US gets much lower temps lol!) but it's windy too so it cuts right through you lol!2 -

I managed my 3 day training plan with evening social outings well. No weight gain. I did however feel overly restricted. Not a good thing long term, but okay for a few days. And I passed the course, wahoo!
I met with the new doc about my meds and treatment course today. She wasn't thrilled that I took myself off of some meds and reduced others without medical supervision, but she understood. It's been about 2 weeks since I've started decreasing my meds, and I feel so much better. She was able to explain what most likely flat-lined my emotions and it was one of the meds I quit taking so we are going to keep that one out. She does want me to add one back, change the timing of another and get rid of another. She said the 30+ pounds I put on are likely due to my lithium levels and that we will likely decrease, but that it may be difficult to manage my weight with it. I think if we take away the life numbing medication, and I can start living my life again I can expend energy on my weight. She has a different approach to treatment and though I was disappointed with the diagnosis portion (nobody wants confirmation that they are cra cra), I found the appointment it very promising appointment.

Very late reporting back on yesterday and I did not post goals today. They were the same and I met them all so a huge improvement. There have been too many excuses recently .........

Also late posting goals but I’m doing well this week! Despite the fact that I’ve had parents’ evening at work the last two days. Nothing quite like ending a full day of teaching with three hours’ non stop talking to parents about their little ones to tire you out! Over now so I can hopefully wind down a bit. Tomorrow is a charity day at school and they have asked me to lead a whole school (400+ kids and staff) workout session in the playground. Nervous!!

@littleblackskirt Hugs to you, dear friend! Caring for elderly parents is hard work. Before we were married, hubby cared for his dad who'd had a stroke. After he passed, hubby (youngest of six kids, 5 living) cared for his aging mother. When hubby and I married in 2004, we bought a big house so she could live with us, and his sisters could stay occasionally. His mom Esta was 88 years old then. She and I were never close, but we got along. Hubby stayed at home full time because she otherwise would need to live in assisted living or a nursing home. I worked my corporate job then, long hours & sometimes weekends, but I managed food & meals, mostly. Esta had advancing dementia, and at times living with her was very difficult, but I would never ask hubby to move her out. We could never leave her on her own in the last years, some family member (she would balk at anyone else) had to be in our house if hubby and I went out together. Esta lived to be 99 years 10 months, and passed away in her room at our home in 2016. Hubby cared for her 24/7 with bi-weekly 24 hour stays from his youngest sister and frequent visits from his other sister (2 brothers & their wives visited infrequently and never helped out with care). I know how tough that was on hubby. But we are both so happy he was able to care for her in our home. You will not regret taking care of your parents.
@cschmitz110515 , thank you so much for sharing your story. It's obvious you and your hubby are very kind people. I do wonder how my finances will cope, I've already had to stop a small sideline which used to make me a little bit of money. It's hard when I'm on my own, but I'm not going to worry about it, it will work out I'm sure.
I'm not sure what financial assistance might be available to your parents or you where you live. Because my MIL had no financial resources whatsoever, she qualified for a state program that paid someone to be her in-home caregiver. That was hubby. The money wasn't great, he was paid (originally) for 48 hours per week, even though with her chronic conditions, managing her meds and her dementia, his was a 24/7 job. With no days off and no paid benefits. Then state gov't. cut the program and he was paid only for 40 hours per week. Short-sighted, in my opinion, because without this program, we might've put her in a nursing home at the state's expense.
@littleblackskirt Do I remembered you saying you were in the UK ? If so, there are lots of organisations that support carers, including financially. This is the big one: https://www.carersuk.org/ but there are lots of local ones too that come up on Google. I think there are also benefits available to support carers. Not sure what they are or how much caring you have to do to qualify, but either way it's probably worth checking out Turn 2 Us which has a calculator for benefits. I keep hearing that a huge proportion of the UK aren't claiming all the benefits they could have - maybe you're one of them!3 -

Thank you for this, I will definitely look at the website. Yes I'm in the UK. I'm not claiming any benefits and have not considered it so far, I'm not sure it's at a level yet where I could. It's not 24/7, just that it takes a good few hours each day. I was told I could go to a carers group, but I haven't been. It's a 25 mile round trip, and what I really value is the time I get alone to do the things I like, so didn't want to "waste" time on that.
Thank you all for your help, I promise to stop moaning about it now

I feel like a terrible friend on here lately. I am reading and catching up but not having time to respond. I don’t have time in the morning or during the day and if I take the time in the evening I feel I’m ignoring hubby. I haven’t come up with a solution to the dilemma yet.
Know that I’m thinking about all of you, I’m cheering you on and giving hugs as needed.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 194.2
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.

7. Theater: Mary Poppins Nov 22. Something in December - Check and add.
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 rack for car.

Today has been THE most boring day of my life. Our wifi is down (or rather the network) so it's nothing to do with us. But everything we have runs off the internet. All our TVs are Now TV or Amazon fire. So no tv. Our phones, tablets we've had to use our mobile data which again is limited so we can only use so much.
Ash had been in a foul mood because of it so I literally spent all day sat on the sofa looking at the fireplace.
I was so bored before I actually fell asleep on the sofa whilst Casey was climbing all over me and I vaguely remember her kissing me whilst i was asleep and pretending to be asleep herself with "fake snores" and Saskia and Marley were chasing each other and screaming. That's how bored lmao, I slept through that $h!t haha
I hope they sort it soon!

Oh yeah and I had a boredom binge so not a good day all round lol!3

Tonite I just found out that the gym I go to is closing Dec 15. I am so sad. I always hated going to the gym, but the past 2 years, I have met the most wonderful friends. We all go at the same time .. every morning at 7:30-8. They have become true friends, and it is what has made me love going to the gym, and what kept me going.
We have other options for gyms, but these people live different areas, so it will never be the same.
I ate healthy all day ... but one of these friends returned a bowl to me .. and filled it with halloween candy. I am working hard not to go and eat the entire container of candy. But I know that won't make me feel any better .. only make me feel worse.
so ... going to sink myself into sewing.. grab my water, and tomorrow morning get to the gym to enjoy the 2 weeks I have with these friends. Hopefully we an all exchange phone numbers, and stay in touch.5 -

I'm back on MFP and paying attention now.
I've been on the HMR program (with St. Joe's/Ann Arbor) since 12/18/2018. I'm down nearly 80#, and I've gotten off Victoza, Levemir (insulin), blood pressure med, and a statin. My energy is amazing. I'm in Phase 2 now, and many food things look interesting, in a way that they didn't in either Phase 1 division.
- I am going to look around at more winter physical activity options. I just got a new job, and work 0530-1400 Fri-Tue, so my options have contracted.
- I'm going to stay in my HMR box. I haven't deviated, and I'm not going to today.

Yesterday was a terrible eating day, I was starving all day and ate out every meal. I don’t know how my weight went down this morning at all.
I got home from work last night and decided to work on some of the crafts, our first show is next Saturday. I need to be prepared for it.
@faebert - That must have made you feel so proud of the students and yourself.
@bex953172 - I think we would all be in that boat now if anything happened to our internet. It’s crazy how dependent we are in it since it’s really something we all grew up with out. Well you might not have.
@mytime6630 - I hope you and your gym friends find another location where you can stay together and that none of you allow this to derail you completely.

Haha I'm not sure if it was around when I was born in '92 but I remember getting a computer and internet when I was 7ish. My dad said he had a computer before that but it's not something I ever saw or went on. Even at 7 all I ever did was go on Microsoft Paint lmao!!!1
