Good Almost Noon... Lol…
I'm late posting☺
Laundry
Reading
Light day today which is usually what happens after I hit it hard the day before, and I had good energy
yesterday. That's why I do all I can do when it happens because my recovery time sucks. Unless something
really kicks in gear today, two things will be my limit today.
Have a great rest of the day Sisters and Brothers💜4 -

JFT Thursday

Scale goalsEnd 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 cut1. 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.
WFTY: Climbing. I'm SO tired. It's almost 9 PM, so I'm going to go ahead and go to bed. First day was good but intense.4 -
@Bex953172 - we have a fake wasp nest hanging at our house right outside our door, we’ve done this for 3 years and it’s kept them away every year. We buy them at the dollar store.
I agree with your rules, I think that this will be the kick in the keister I need to get going.
My scale today said 185. If I could get my water in I know that would help me a lot!
So much more but I didn’t have a chance to even open MFP all day yesterday and don’t want to spend my whole night tonight on here.

I’m sure that weight will be up again tomorrow. I ate two suppers last night. I was going to visit my cousin and grabbed MxDonald’s on the way. When I got there they had made fish sticks and fries for me. I ate to be polite. Needless to say I didn’t track anything. I didn’t get my water in or anything.
Today I didn’t eat at work all day and didn’t even go and fill my water bottle. We have a flu outbreak at work so I am trying to avoid the residents.
I made breakfast for supper and then had some watermelon. I know I’ll want something else before bed and I need to figure out how to fit that In. I’m going to bed early tonight I didn’t make it home until almost midnight last night.

Good morning! I did not log yesterday, my stress levels have been so high. My coworker and I are both drowning at work and our boss keeps wanting us to pick up new clients but we're struggling to keep up with the ones we currently have! Oh well.. I haven't had a chance to work on the house at all this week, my husband and I are both just exhausted every day, we need a vacation!
Trying to diet has been impossible.. the stress makes me extra hungry 😔
Going to try to keep it simple today..

Ack! I was doing well leading up to my Health Risk Assessment yesterday, then binged last night. Not helped by third severe thunderstorm in five days. Lots of lightning, thunder, wind and rain... again. With each storm we got 1 1/2" of rain, 2", and 3" respectively, in gauge. Our rain barrels are overflowing. Dog was standing under kitchen table (unheard of!) at my knees while I ate supper. I even shut drapes and blinds so she couldn't lightning and wind effects. Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything about thunder. At least we didn't lose power like some, or have hail / major tree damage like others. And sump pump worked thank heavens. Whine over.
Recap W 8/7 ~ Happy Hump Day! Needed fasting blood draw for HRA, so no breakfast until I got to work & ate during training.

Not the most relaxing supper, and I stress ate later. Net cals -490 , sodium -1,608 
, sugar -26 , fiber & protein good, 14c water
4) Evening: talk w/ SIL about plans left another message this a.m. / city band concert (weather-permitting) canceled / plan meals for next few days no mood / other? nope
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work R) / bed & tv off 10:20
JFT R 8/8 ~ got up after 2nd snooze alarm & realized with fading summer, my alarm once again goes off before the sunrise *sigh*
1) Walked dog before work 3.84 mi 1:05:39 & stretched (a little) = happy dog & happy me

Yesterday was a hard day for me. I have only one remaining sibling yet alive, ,my younger brother, and just found out he has stage IV cirrohossis of the liver, plus heart problems, loss of all bowel functions, needs a walker .. basically in bad shape. He cannot live alone. He has always been an alcoholic, so he and I were never close .... but he is still my brother.
I could not sleep all nite. Today I talked to him again this morning.. his ex-wife is trying to have him live with her and her boyfriend, but she is is poor health herself. But she wanted me to contact disability, and see if his monthly payments can be sent to her.. (since she says she is going to take care of him). My flags are up ... I don't trust her. So trying to talk to my brother... hopefully he will find a residential home where he can get good care.
And as I do ... binge ate last nite. So ... I am not off to a good start. Weight this morning 189.9 (up almost 2 pounds already from my start of 187.6).
Today is a new day. My food intake will not affect my brother, but it will affect how I feel about myself.
so..
log all food
concentrate on 8+ water
mindful eating
distract myself tonite ... no binge eating.8 -
@mytime6630 I’m so sorry. I’ve also been binge eating. Stepdad is fading fast and I’m 8 hours away so feel helpless. Thanks for the reminder that eating crap won’t help him him or my mom! Love you, beautiful lady. ♥️4

@mytime6630 - I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. I would have my flags raised too. I haven’t been in this job very long but have already learned that the elderly and sick can be taken advantage of terribly.
@PackerFanInGB - I hope your day turned around. I’m sorry to hear about your stepdad. It is so hard not being close. I am a day away and about 1000 flight.
@cschmitz110515 - we have had a lot of storms this year too. I had to water my garden for only the third time this summer so far last night because of rain.
I’ll do my check in later. I just wanted to take a few minutes to comment3
