But i know instead of worrying and thinking I need to take action. I also tested borderline anemic and my WBC was high and RBC low? We shall see what the doctor says... In the meantime mkre dark leafy greens, and good balanced eating while trying to minimize stress.

Good afternoon Ladies!
These last two weeks have been a bit of a nightmare to be honest. Before Thanksgiving, I got a call from my supervisor at the school that I was being taken off my permanent subbing case because a district employee was being assigned there. They offered me a job as a teacher's aide for an elementary school case but that school wouldn't get out until 3 which at the time I couldn't do. Then the Wednesday before last I lost my voice and came down with a cold. I still haven't fully recovered. My voice is still scratchy. Then on Thursday I got an email from Hybridge(where I work with the little kids) that I was put on probation due to inadequate job performance. So after talking to a few people but mainly Matt. I decided to resign. So I sent the office manager a return email explaining that I didn't feel like I was able to do the job effectively. Plus there was no point in my staying if I wasn't doing any good to the learners.
Now the main problem is that at the school I'm not guaranteed work every day. I thought that it was going to be okay to step down to being a daily sub but I didn't realize that they got rid of the floating aide position so now I can only work when an aide takes the day off. And I also no longer have the after school income either. So I'm looking to pick up a couple of side gigs to be able to help supplement our income. I've been researching a couple of them.
Right now I have signed up to be a grocery shopper for Instacart. Basically I get paid to do other people's grocery shopping and deliver it to their houses. There's also a huge boom in online English tutoring for nonnative speakers going on so I'm contemplating doing that too. So we'll see. There are definitely ways to make money nowadays. It's just actually putting the effort forth to make it happen.
Also! Lol
I have given myself a goal of losing 30lbs by July 1st. And I'm not going to wait until January 1st to start. I'm going to start today. The good thing about potentially having extra time in my day is that I will be able to go to the gym and be more active on this board instead of coming and going every few weeks. So we'll see how this all works out. But as for today, I am going to post my goals even though it's already 2 pm. Lol

Got a salad from Wawa
3. Do laundryForgot about the sweatshirt that Matt asked me to wash. There was no point in going back to the laundromat for a single sweatshirt so it will be included in next week's wash.
4. Drop off rent moneyGot some bad news too. A friend from church passed away on Friday.
5. Drink 64 more oz of water
6. Vacuum
7. Clean bathroom
I didn't do much yesterday after I got home from the laundromat. I did some more research on some side jobs I could possibly try. I'm hoping to be able to start delivering for Instacart next week. I'm just waiting for my payment card to come in the mail. That's how I'll pay for the groceries that people order. Once that comes in then I can start actually doing shopping and deliveries.
As I said above a member of our church died on Friday. He was a really great guy. He was 88 but I have no idea. I thought he was maybe in his early 70's. He looked that young. He had a stroke a while back so I think a lot of people were just waiting for him to pass on. He had a heart attack while he was home alone. His wife was out to dinner with a friend of hers. It's good and it's sad at the same time. He lived a good long life full of love, friendship, and a whole lot of fun. But he's home now. To my praying friends, please keep his wife Judy and their children and grandchildren in your prayers tonight.
It's already 4:22 so I'm not going to post any goals for today but I will recap the small number of things I did today.
JFT, 12/8/19
1. Had a nice conversation with my mom
2. Picked up a few things at the dollar store
3. Posted on JFT
That is literally all I did. Lol. It doesnt help that I didnt get out of bed until 11:30. Lol
Okay. Have a great night everyone. It's pretty quiet on here today. I'll "see" everyone tomorrow!

Morning all. Hope everyone is well. I’m ok - still laid up and in lots of pain but it seems to be improving gradually. I’m recovering at my sister’s place and finding it tough with drains attached just trying to move around. But she is doing really well as she’s been through the surgery herself so knows what it’s like.
Obviously not aiming for any weight loss right now. But I’m trying to keep an eye on macros to make sure I recover well and also to keep my head in the game. I need to keep reminding myself that in a few months I can be back training again and there’s no reason why this surgery should make me fat again unless I let it.
Hope you are all well and enjoying the run up to Christmas. I finished all my shopping (online) yesterday. Just have to hope my family and friends don’t mind getting stuck in helping me wrap it all. Maybe I should have a gift wrapping party when I get home?!
Goals for Monday:
- morning routine - empty drains, meds, dress
- Post op exercises x4
- Keep eye on protein intake
- 8 glasses water
- Keep going with fibre drink (anaesthetic and meds have messed up my stomach totally)4 -
Morning all, been missing in action for a little while as I had a job interview on Friday that I was focusing on preparing for. I was reading posts, just not doing any myself!
Now that is over, I'm going to focus on having a happy, restful and healthy December. I've been eating quite a lot due to stress and have put a couple of pounds on - I want to lose those before Christmas comes. I also need to catch up on sleep and rest as working for the interview exhausted me a little bit!
Unfortunately, I have lots of Christmas socialising across the next two weeks which may hinder both of those things.... Though, only if I let it!
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Be in the green
- 3+ bottles water
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- 30+ minute lunch break
- Finish work at 6pm
- Leave pub by 7.30pm
- Pack stuff for running
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11
Words for 2019: Mindful Moderation3 -
@Faebert I am so happy that your surgery was successful! I'm really impressed with your bravery in going for it. Sending you lots of best wishes for a speedy recovery. In terms of putting weight on, you may find it's easier to avoid than you think as not being able to move much means it's harder for you to get your hands on high calorie food! I found that when I was recovering - while I was moving less, I wasn't going into shops or being tempted by office treats so overall it worked out ok! Just get your sister to put snacks on a high shelf
@mytime6630 Congratulations on winning the challenge! That's super impressive, particularly at this time of year! I can see you hitting your ultimate goal weight before too long

Stay in the green

I need to remember my word for the year is methodical and improve on menu planning, shopping and pre-logging as I’ve been slipping and not always making good choices. I’ve also been tempted to a few extra glasses of wine!

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 198.2
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.
6. Medical: Dentist Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: Mary Poppins Sun Dec 8 1:15. Amen Corner Thu Dec 19 5:45. EGL Fri-Sat 3:30.

Sorry I've been MIA, got sick last week & had a wicked sore throat that made it painful to swallow. Strep test was negative but doc has me on prednisone since I'm allergic to amoxicillin. Lost some weight because of that, but now weight has rebounded as I'm eating again. Of course. Anyway, yesterday I starting logging again, and even got out for dog walk.
I am 57 JFT posts behind, no time to catch up right now, but I will later. I have been thinking of and missing all of you, and keeping @Faebert especially in my prayers. For now...
JFT M 12/9
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
2) Eating at my desk today (crummy weather & hubby has appt) / net calories zero / 14c water
3) Complete PA-RM & submit for review / discuss BK request for participation in meeting / catch up Inbox (again)
4) Evening: Advent devotional / decorate / put away clean dishes / make apple crisp / other?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & tv off 10:20
Forgot to mention, I was able to successfully change my Fitbit device by myself (yay me) then ran into firmware update glitches. Tried rebooting Fitbit, Bluetooth & phone but no luck. Finally enlisted hubby's help over weekend, and I just needed a little more patience (and restart each device with more down time before turning things on). Viola! I have Fitbit again. Since my old one was going to go kaput eventually, I'm glad it happened while I was sick and not moving much ~ no pressure from Fitbit to get up and move lol.1 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.

Yesterday was really nice and we got a lot done. Eating wise was not the prettiest given I want to be watching my sugars/carbs. I couldnt resist the lemon poppy raspberry jam muffin when we stopped for breakfast. I'm actually drooling right now thinking about it. My carb cravings are REAL today. But the rest of the day was great - grocery shopped, cut down a christmas tree, DH made beef stew, meal prepped chicken for salads and made lunches, on top of lots of cleaning. Stepdad is coming over today while we are at work to get started on the Nursery! Hooray! I have a work seminar tomorrow in NY - it's going to be a 16 hour day with the travel. I'm not driving so maybe I can catch some zzz's but I'm also a little worried about car sickness, so fingers crossed! It won't be a pretty eating day again because I'm not comfortable packing a lunch/dinner with that much travel time in between so I'm at the mercy of what is served. But atleast I'm back on the bus making daily effort to do my best! Still havent heard from my midwife on when I'll be asked to complete the 3 hour glucose test so just trucking along until then.1 -

The key is spoil yourself once you have achieved your aims and goals or do an act of kindness. Either way it helps you...
If you have more calories one day compensate the next day.
If you can exercise that helps burn the calories or simple strength exercises help.
I have 1 stone to loose. Thanks to fitness pal I can enjoy anything within my calories and the incentives are amazing.
Anyone taking the plunge to change their life are amazing in whatever capacity. Some weeks I gained or maintained. I just started again the following day.

Words for 2019: Mindful Moderation2 -
Ok I’m back into tracking goals on here, even though they aren’t really weight loss based. Last night my sister managed to wash my hair for me and it’s made me feel so much better today. I can’t wait until these drains are gone and I can have a proper shower!!
Goals for today are the same as yesterday. It’s all a bit boring!
Monday goals recap:
- morning routine - empty drains, meds, dress ✅
- Post op exercises x4 ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
- Keep eye on protein intake ✅
- 8 glasses water ✅
- Keep going with fibre drink (anaesthetic and meds have messed up my stomach totally) ❎ having this morning instead
Tuesday goals:
- morning routine - empty drains, meds, dress ✅
- Call nursing team at 9am
- Post op exercises x4
- Protein and veggies
- 8 glasses of water
- Fibre drink ✅
Have a great day all x2 -

JFT Monday 9th December
Back exercises (been really bad at doing these recently) no
No snacking yes
No buying chocolate or xmas treats none bought
Phone bio mechanics clinic no
I wasted a lot of yesterday as I felt so exhausted. So frustrating as I have a lot to do. Did discuss house move for a couple of hours though. If it goes ahead I have a lot of cleaning, sorting and packing to do, I've been in this house a long time!
JFT Tuesday 10th December
Back exercises
No snacking
No buying chocolate
Phone bio mechanics clinic
Get xmas decs down from attic and put tree up
Do shopping for parents (the weather is atrocious, I really don't want to go )
I've lost another pound, helped by having NO treat stuff in the house. So every time I think I'd like a little something to eat between meals, there is nothing in the house. I live just far enough away from the shop to make it a nuisance to go and buy something

I need to remember my word for the year is methodical and improve on menu planning, shopping and pre-logging as I’ve been slipping and not always making good choices. I’ve also been tempted to a few extra glasses of wine!
Not that good a start to the week!3 -
