    A decent day yesterday - I ate well, went to the gym and got a big job application done that I'd been intending to do for ages. Feels good to have sent it in! It took a while so I didn't get much else done, including the other application I was planning to do. I will have to do that tomorrow as that's the deadline.

    Didn't sleep well at all afterwards. I am not the world's best sleeper and when I work late it's really hard for my brain to switch off. I tried to wind down by having a bath and watching Buffy but it just didn't work. So I am very underslept today. I will need to watch my eating as being tired often leads me to overeat. I need to remember that whilst food can be a temporary comfort, it doesn't actually reduce tiredness!


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :smile:
    - Be in the green with a deficit :smile:
    - 4 bottles water :smiley:
    - No alcohol :smile:
    - Go to gym :smile:

    - No eating whilst standing :smile:
    - Savour every bite :neutral:
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :neutral: N/A
    - Give myself credit! :/
    - Stay positive :neutral:

    - 2 x job applications :smile: I actually just did one, but it was the one I really want and it took a while as I had to write quite a lot of stuff about my 'competencies' and the area I want to specialise in. I'm happy I did it though!
    - Catch up on job alert emails :/No time after finishing the application
    - Read response cards x2 :neutral:Just once
    - Meditate :smile:
    - 2+ of French podcast, reading, Duolingo :neutral: Duolingo only
    - Talk to boyfriend in French Lack of time
    - Gratitude journal :smile:
    - Lights off by 11 :/More like 11.40


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - Be in the green (or very close to it)
    - 3+ bottles water
    - No alcohol

    - No eating whilst standing
    - Savour every bite
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
    - Give myself credit!
    - Stay positive

    - 1h lunch break
    - Read response cards x2
    - Meditate
    - Catch up on job alert emails
    - Look at next job application and think about the 'competencies'
    - Duolingo
    - Leave work by 6pm
    - Train home straight after concert

    @nlmackey98 Thank you for your kind words. You are super strong yourself! You're right, it is one choice at a time. I actually do pretty well from day-to-day now, and actually I am starting to do better on some 'occasions'. I have a long way to go on the occasions, but I'm better than I used to be and I WILL get there!

    JFT Monday

    - Up by 7:00, Work by 8:00 - :( No & No and I had to go back home because I forgot my meds.
    - Start VDA trial - :smile:
    - Work on development of APHA method - :smile:
    - Protein Bar for breakfast :smile:
    - email/MFP :smile:
    - Low carb lunch <300 cal :smile:
    - Finish up VDA. Prepare for tomorrows audits/training :( Other things took priority and I realized the auditor training that I'm giving isn't until Wednesday.
    - Home 5:30 :smile: Left work by 5:30, that counts.
    - Long Hilly Hike, planned 6 miles, but may have to cut to 4. :smile: Got all 6 miles in. Took 96 minutes, but it is a very hilly route.
    - Daily Bible reading, I will finish Genesis today. That is 2 books down 64 to go :smile:
    - Low carb dinner < 700 cal :smile:
    - Gratitude Journal :(
    - No alcohol :smile:
    - Bed by 10:30 :smile:

    JFT Tuesday Morning
    - Gym before work :smile: Hell yeah! It about killed me even with baby weights, but I got it in.
    - Eggs for breakfast :smile: Yup
    - Work by 8:00 :neutral: No but I was late because I made myself breakfast. I'm still calling it a win.
    - Protein bar as a late morning snack. :smile:

    I feel really good about yesterday and this morning. I hit most of my goals and the ones I missed are minor. This morning was rough. I used to regularly get up at 3:30 or 4:00 and go workout, but my body really didn't like it today. My hips were a little sore from my walk yesterday (how sad), so I only did a quick 5 minute cardio warm up and spent the rest of the hour on upper body. Be the 3rd or 4th exercise, I really thought I was going to be sick. My body is not used to that type of exertion any more. I guess I need to work on that. I also didn't really eat enough yesterday.

    I'm dog tired today, but a large part of that is that I missed my meds this morning. I went home and got them, but it will take a bit to catch up. The other part of my energy crisis is my switch to low carb. It takes the body a few days to adjust. Then all is well.

    JFT Tuesday
    - Survive work
    - Low carb lunch <300 cal
    - Try to stay at work until 5:30 - didn't start trials in the morning because of a rush project. Now all I have for the afternoon is method reviews assuming they don't bore me to death.
    - Maybe a walk, 4 ish miles or so Maybe I'll even jog a tad (realized yesterday that I didn't change into a sports bra = No running for Nikki).
    - Nap
    - Dinner under calorie limit
    - At least 2 loads of laundry
    - Bible Reading - I may do this at work.
    - Gratitude Journal

    I look at today's goals and realize that if I'm going to do laundry and walk, there will be no nap. Of course if I have Tim make dinner, I can nap while the laundry runs. Brilliant!

    Positive Thought for the Day: If you are lucky enough to have a man who loves you, respects you, cares for you and works hard to make your dreams reality, you need little else. I'm a very lucky, very spoiled woman. I like it this way.

    Morning all, an enforced rest day for me again today. Hoping I can get back to my Warrior class tomorrow though. For today, the big focus is my class’ end of term event. Loads and loads to do still but we are in pretty good shape- last push and then I can hopefully relax this evening. Because I am a glutton for punishment I have also invited some colleagues round for a celebratory BBQ tomorrow evening so will have som work to do tonight to prep for that.

    Can’t believe we are in July already - June passed by in a flash. I think I kept to the challenge probably 20+ days of the month. Want to try and continue with it because it definitely helped some days to rein me in! Any ideas for a July challenge?

    Tuesday goals recap:
    - morning run ✅ 😩
    - pack snacks and schoolbags ✅
    - Pick up travelcard on way to work ✅
    - get an iPad for filming on arrival ✅
    - check lesson time for filming ✅
    - home lunchtime for car and shake ✅
    - set up after work ✅
    - organise shopping delivery before leaving ✅
    - leave by 5:30 ✅
    - Pick up gift for student after work ✅
    - June challenge ✅
    - bed by 9:30 ❎ nowhere near!

    Wednesday goals:
    - rest day
    - pack snacks and schoolbags
    - early to work - more set-up
    - find wheelbarrow
    - make photo slide presentation
    - make ‘sold’ stickers
    - make Kennings poem sign and info
    - make kids’ thank-you card for student
    - assign roles for kids
    - home lunchtime for car and shake

    Crazy busy week trying to get things buttoned up before I go on vacation, plus I'm helping out for a couple of realtor friends who are on vacation this week so even busier! Scale is not going the direction I like but I am doing everything I should be so I'm trying not to focus on that. I know it could be many different things that I have no control over and I'm doing everything right. My goal today will be to keep doing the things right that I know are good for me and to not focus on the scale. Today I have a very busy afternoon so I'm doing 45-60 minutes of cycling and then I'm going to do 15 minute increments of other (yoga/walking/weights) to get myself to 90. I like getting it out of the way in the morning so I don't have to stress about it in the evening.

    Funny story- I haven't got flirted with that I've noticed in AGES and yesterday a really cute young guy actually flirted with me in the elevator! It was so funny because I didn't even realize it until way after and it just made my day. :) I think that my weight loss has made me feel so much better about myself. I was just feeling so frumpy before I started this journey and now I feel healthy and happier. Another side story: I ended up getting fast food over the weekend at Wendy's. I don't eat fast food very often but long story short-I had to eat and it was the quickest option. I didn't go over in my calories however, I didn't choose something decent like grilled chicken and I felt awful afterwards. It sat in my stomach like a rock. I focused on the feeling for awhile because I want to remember that eating like that only makes you happy in the moment, it doesn't make your body feel good.

    Anyway, off to my early morning class! Hope everyone has a great day!

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 192.8

    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.
