    Recap M 8/5 ~ Slept in this morning before work so no walk with doggo = sad dog. Temp is already mid 80s & humid so feels like 87(F), with thunderstorms predicted late afternoon & throughout evening. Adjusting today's workout.
    1) X-train (weights/circuit or Sweaty Betty) in evening = Nope... strong thunderstorms & I was busy keeping doggo calm. Will x-train W a.m.
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 7,304 steps, 250+ 12/14 & 28 floors :) ok for rest day
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / no snack after supper / net calories zero / 14c water = Did well all day, then evening snack attack of dry roasted peanuts... at least I measured them in my little bowl & did not eat straight from the container. Net cals -312 :( , sodium -785, sugar -18, fiber & protein excellent, 14c water
    4) Start GA-C/V/K testing for real & plan observation dates :smile: / chapter board meeting 3:00 :smile: went long & ended 4:15 / clear some Inbox :smile:
    5) Evening: put away clean dishes :smile: / declutter coffee table and/or desk / put stuff in recycle bin :smile: / take tags off new shirts & take upstairs :smile: / other? made salad from leftover rotisserie chicken for hubby, washed dishes :smile:
    6) Unplug 9:00 :smile: / floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / set 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work T) :smile: / bed & tv off 10:20 :neutral: 10:30

    JFT T 8/6
    1) Walked dog before work 65 min. & stretched = happy dog & so-so me... I hate this humid weather!!! :D
    2) Move hourly (except afternoon in-house training) / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / no snack after supper (health assessment W a.m.) / 14c water
    4) Evening: call D/B to arrange date / prep overnight oats for W / other?

    Haha brillisnt @HEGoddard0928 for joining the 5lb challenge!

    So ive been thinking how best to do this competition and keeping it friendly.

    So @mytime6630 @snowflake1968 @PackerFanInGB @TerriRichardson112 and anyone else who has joined!

    The idea is that ill make a memo of all the SW and GW, but also remember it for yourself.

    THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT! whether it takes us 3 weeks to lose 5lbs, the FIRST person to lose 5lbs is the winner!

    After a winner is announced the competition RESETS! so the first to lose 5lbs again wins!

    Because im thinking if one of us only loses say 1lb? It would be unfair to expect them to lose 9lbs, does that make sense?

    And ill keep a little scoreboard of winners haha


    The only rules i can think of is
    Make sure your scales are accurate
    Maybe neasure a couple of times to double check your score.
    Aslong as your scale says you lost 5lbs then you win, doesnt matter if its gone up or down by the next day, so dont worry about fluctuations.

    Good luck everyone! (No sabotaging allowed hahah)

    Add me! I will use my "official" Sat. weigh-ins. SW = 164.5

    I love this challenge... and man, I need it! Thanks for getting us started Bex!

    Last nite gave into binge eating SO bad. I have not done this in a long time ... lets see ... an entire box of marshmallow cookies, followed by piece of cheesecake, then some potato chips!! Yikes ... not off to a good start!

    That is why I LOVE this challenge. I have been doing OK losing since June, but the scale has not moved since July, and now, I feel myself going backwards and just wanting to give up. But I know how much better I feel when I am at a healthier weight.

    Today my weight is way up, but I am going to take the weight that I was 2 days ago at my starting weight for this challenge.

    So my official SW is 187.6

    My weigh-in is also on saturdays.

    Name: Joan
    SW: 187.6
    GW: 1st goal weight 178 (to be out of the overweight, and normal BMI)
    GW: 2nd goal weight 170
    CW: ?? (I don't want to put this down yet, after my huge binge last nite!!!)

    JFT 8/6

    Clean eating/Healthy choices
    stay within calories
    lots of water
    30 minutes exercise

    I feel so awful this morning. All that bad eating has caught up to me and my stomach is unhappy. Definitely going for a walk/run this morning and going to eat clean today and drink lots of water. We're flying to LA today from San Fran so fun morning of exploring today and then need to be at the airport this afternoon. Soups and salads only for me today and going to have a packet of oatmeal this morning in our hotel room.

    I didn't know a bunch of you were doing a competition! I just read through! Very exciting! I wish I could join but with vacation and not having a scale that will not happen. If you do one again I may join. I get such motivation from competing. :) Good luck everyone!

    Yes totally, hopefully an going thing for a while, once theres a winner, the competition resets! So theres always a chance to win!

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 193.6

    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. 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.
    6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Sept 18 10:15. ObG Oct 22 10:30. GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: MM first rehearsal 7/29. Next?
    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.

    1. Weigh myself :)
    2. Log my food :)Was pretty ugly but I did it
    3. Drink 100oz of water :)Around 112oz at least
    Morning everyone!

    I got home from work yesterday and was in a terrible mood. Just b!tchy and irritated. I don't know why. But I calmed down and Matt and I went to his f/u with his gastro. All of the recent tests came back clean so he said to keep taking the meds and see him again in three months. So that's good. We then went to Walmart where I returned something and we picked up Detective Pikachu to have a movie/cuddle night. And boy did we snack! Lol. But I logged it all! Well, I logged the Goldfish as best as I could since I didn't measure anything out. Lol.

    But this morning has been better. My friend T and I made each other get up and go to the gym this morning. We like about 150 miles away but last night we said that we would both get up at 5am and go got our respective gyms. And we actually did! Me, little miss not-morning person, had to bug her to go but she did! We took selfies to prove that we actually got there. The only bad thing is I ended up getting a leg cramp on the leg press machine. I've been stretching it out since I got home so I'm hoping that it starts to really feel better by the time I get home from work.

    Okay! Onto goals!

    JFT, 8/7/19

    1. Log all food(Yes even the snacks!)
    2. Drink 100oz of water
    3. Bug A for resume review

    Have a great day everyone!

    It is not yet 11:30 AM and I am already exhausted. I don't have my planning period until the end of the day, which I don't like because by that point I'm so worn out that it's hard to get anything done :(

    8/6 Recap

    Clean eating/Healthy choices :|
    stay within calories :s
    lots of water :)
    30 minutes exercise :(

    I don't know why I just will not exercise much on vacation. And this is a long one. I am doing a lot of walking but that isn't making up for how much I am eating, I am sure of that. I did pretty good all day and then chose badly late at night. Oh well, onward. Today is a low key day. We're in LA and we are so tired and a little burnt out. Today we are just going to do the bare minimum of touristing/walking around. Dinner with family tonight and no idea of what tomorrow will bring.

    Today! 8/7

    Mostly healthy choices
    lots of water
    rest as needed

    Wow, those are the goals of a lazy person! :D But my mind is tired and I want to see lots of things today but not actually do much.

    Hope all have a great day!
