    I went cycling with my friends on Sunday. We went up a long steep hill. At the end of it we are just waiting for the others to catch up. Our friend just collapsed and stopped breathing. It was so scary. A stranger applied CPR whilst I got the ambulance. We were just 500 mtrs from hospital and the ambulance came within minutes. He was unresponsive for 20 minutes or so before they finally got a pulse. If we weren’t with him he would be dead. He just got out of ICU after 3 days. Doesn’t look good for him.
    So that’s my excuse for letting go of everything. :(
    I don’t even feel like trying lately. Maybe a few more days.

    OMG, that is so crazy! What a traumatic event for you as well, and I hope your friend recovers. Just awful.

    JFT 6/26

    Swim/yoga
    Stay within calories
    healthy choices
    Lots of water
    mindful eating
    Catch up on to do list

    Should have a good day to catch up on work and the house. Did a lot of running/walking yesterday so today will be swimming/yoga to do some strength and recovery. Gained in the last week due to illness and a few unhealthy choices so have been trying to lose the weight I gained back. Frustrating but part of the process so not dwelling. Just trying to make up for it with activity and healthy choices. Finally starting to feel better thankfully and have an appt to get things checked out next week (it's period related). Anyway, off to get to this day! Hope everyone struggling finds some peace today.

    @jacqui2494 , I'm not surprised you haven't been concentrating on dieting. What an awful thing to happen, your friend was very lucky that the CPR worked. Look after yourself and take it easy x

    @daneejela , it can be very difficult to cope with things which are outwith your control. I try to deal with it now by telling myself there are things I can't change however much I might worry about them, so there is no point in worrying.
    In fact, of all the things I would like to change right now, the ONLY thing I have control over is my weight! No excuse then lol.

    I've been into town to do parents requests. Now my back is agony, gentle jobs for the rest of the day I think.

    3. Meal prep! Prelog for Thursday. Blog post.
    4. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water!

    6. In bed by 9:45; devices off by 10:00. Alarm set for 6:00. Meeting 9:15 Friday. Check on audition for MM and look for Strongest Suit music. Monday visit Z. Next Thursday is massage day! Check in with D4D next week; complete units & survey. Ask about how to support new AP. Next week - set up assessment switch-outs on OW. Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Schedule assessments and return dates (check last term's plans for unit length). Put jewelry away. Call garden about passes for Sunday. Choose Otterboxes. Thurs - leave workout early for appt. Check on Aladdin. Fold laundry.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 196.2

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. 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).
    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. Align assessments with OW units. 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: ATTEND POST FLEX DAY RATHER THAN PRE FLEX DAY. Upload summer project checklist July 1.
    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. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Get bikes fixed.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    WFTY: Climbing. *sigh* Time gets away from me. I really, REALLY enjoyed visiting my bestie, but we went out to eat and it was all amazing and my weight is continuing to go up.

    I had a good day yesterday, the only thing I have going on right now besides all of the new job/wedding/company stuff is very sore calves. I don't know why, but I had a charlie horse the other morning and the legs are still not relaxing, they are tight and sore and feel like I'm going to get another one at any minute. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I'll get back on this evening to catch up.

    I miss you all!

    @Snowflake1968 , I had to google "charlie horse" as it is not a phrase used in the UK. So that is my new info for today :)
    Do you have the pain in both legs? I ask as pain which doesn't go away could occasionally be a sign of a deep vein thrombosis which is serious. But unlikely if you have it in both legs. The only thing that ever helped me was sitting on the floor and pulling my toes upwards, I imagine it must stretch something and gave relief. Hope you get it sorted soon.

    Yesterday I did not get my exercise or Breakthrough study done. But everything else was completed. I went way over my fat---still getting used to prelogging and eating fewer calories than I have been in my maintain mode. What an adjustment this has been!

    JFT, 6/26
    Drink 8 cups of water
    Pre-log (done)
    Exercise (done)
    Breakthrough study
    Yardwork (done)

    Y'all have a great day. The @jacqui2494 story is another reminder for me to seize the moment. Choose joy. Live my life to the fullest. Because one day, I am going to die. Don't know when, and I pray it's not for a long long time, but there's a pretty good chance that I am!!!

    Peace and joy!
