I was going to run this morning but it is a heatwave over here and I’m home alone with no one to miss me if I pass out somewhere! So I skipped it and have generally been a bit bored, hot and snacky all day so far.
So I better set some belated goals and sort myself out as I’m going to the theatre tonight to see a concert with my mum. I bought the tickets for her birthday back in Feb. Will be nice to do something just the two of us. Meanwhile things with the bf have gone from bad to worse....
Sunday goals recap:
- morning run ✅ 7.5 very hot miles!!
- pack ✅ and head to bf’s place ❎
- stay mindful with eating✅
- no added sugar✅
- bed at a reasonable hour ✅
Monday goals:
- print ticket confirmation email
- stop snacking, you’re not hungry
- hydrate
- theatre with mum
- bed by midnight
It’s not a very ambitious list but I’m struggling so trying to keep it simple.
Have a good Monday all x

Moody Monday😀
Today, back to school for our children. I live with my sister and her family so it was
her grands that I walk to the bus stop in the mornings which help me get more
motivated to take my walks. And emotional for me because the youngest...Malachi, my great nephew,
my heart, my sweet tart...started pre school.😅 It was bitter sweet. My little man is going out to do big
boy things... He's going to learn, and I'm sure teach a few things himself... Lol…. I knew it was coming,
and yet I still wasn't ready to release him into the wild. I hope he has the best year without any bullies.
I'm keeping my keys and purse by the door, just in case I need to help...
Anyway... Here's today's achievements
JFT MONDAY
WAKE UP/BATHROOM ROUTINE
WATER
WALK
WATER
LAUNDRY
PAPERWORK
LUNCH
WATER
NAP
READ
BED EXERCISES FOR KNEES
EARLY DINNER (AIMING TO NOT EAT AFTER 7p.m. including snacks)
Water and meds before bed
Lights out by 11p.m.4 -
I think I'm skipping my workout today. I'm SO tired.3
-
Well, I'm 152 posts behind...
Well I ran my race. Well I walked some also. With the walking it took me 20:22 so it could have been worse. Overshadowing that was my daughter (new profile pic) completing her 1st half marathon and meeting her time goal of 10:00/mile. It was 10:02/mile, but I told her that totally counts. She got 2nd in the 15-19 age group. Hubby ran the half as well. He was a little disappointed in his 1:50 time, but he is still coming back from injury and he ain't exactly getting younger.
Biggest thing in my life right now is college shopping for my oldest. She wants to row in college, so we need to get her 2K times down so she is competitive. Her coach says she's capable and she is stubborn as he!! when she sets a goal. We have a nutritionist evaluating her diet and will give feedback. I will have a rowing machine in my living room for the next year and I meet with a perspective personal trainer for her tomorrow.
Cool thing that Sierra did... All of the female athletes from her High School were invited to a Leadership and fitness day hosted by the marines. They did all kinds of exercises: runs, ammo box overhead press, teamwork exercises, etc. Then at the end they had a plank challenge: on the elbows, on the hands, side planks, plank jacks, walking planks,etc. through all of this you couldn't break form. The last three girls had to add in military push ups. The last two girls were stopped after 27:30 of planking/push ups. I can barely do a minute. I can't even imagine >27 minutes. The marines told my daughter she did text book push ups and one told her her arms were massive. She truly is my fitness icon.
Goals Monday
-Work by 8:30
- Finish 2 audits
- Lunch with hubby
- Work on X-Ray (waiting for a call back)
- Catch up on MFP (Working on it)
- Leave work by 5:00
- Go for a walk 4 or 6 miles
- Dinner with the family
- Bible reading
- Chilllllll
Positive though of the day: God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called.5 -

Parts of the U.K. may have a heatwave but that's not the case on Skye. I had a workout pegging the washing up in a high wind only to have to bring it back in when it rained! It was an evening for a long relaxing bath. No bed and breakfast guests tonight so I'm hoping for an early night and a lie in. I just hope the cat also wants a lie in!
Goodnight JFTD friends.4 -
@nimackey98. Congratulations on your run and on the endeavours of your girls. I am guessing that you and your husband are fitness role models and inspiration for your daughters.2

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: 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 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. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: Mamma Mia. 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. Buy new bikes and bike night for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.
WFTY: Climbing. All of my handouts for Julius Caesar were missing. It's only a mild annoyance, as I printed more, but it IS an annoyance. I'm going to quit my morning runs and see if more sleep helps. If I can get more sleep, that is. We'll see how it goes.2 -
@maryrobinson40 - I hope your great nephew had a wonderful day. Yeah ta so hard seeing them go out on the world. My Grandson starts grade 3 next week and my Granddaughter starts preschool 2 days a week. The time goes so fast.
@Faebert - I wish we were having a heat wave. I still don’t feel like we have had summer and there is frost warnings for tonight. We have had a year now of terrible weather.
@ZizzyBumble - if I ever win the lottery I’ll come be a guest at your B&B. I like sleep ins so you wouldn’t have to get up for me.
@nlmackey98 - I’m so happy to see you back! You must be so proud of your girls. I agree with @ZizzyBumble though, I bet you and your husband gave them the interest to begin with.
@clicketykeys - I hope that you can sleep in the mornings. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I think you put too much on your plate.

Well I am still plodding along, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m hoping that the doctor has some answers for me on Friday and I can get my hip straightened out. I also need something done about my wrist. I feel like I’m falling apart.
I took Lauryn and Michaela shopping yesterday and bought the kids each two outfits for school, Jonah’s supplies he needed and a watch. Michaela lives dresses and hates wearing jeans or pants. In the summer that’s great but the weather is getting cooler so we convinced her to get one dress and one pair of leggings and one shirt.
I guess I need to figure out a birthday present for Jonah in this pay.

Spent the bank holiday at my mum's in Yorkshire and ate sooooooo much. This often happens when I go to my mum's, she gets all the nice food in that I don't normally eat that much of and so I go a bit mad.
Fresh start this week - I'm going to eat some healthy weight and start losing some of this weight I've gained! I also have to get strict about logging, ESPECIALLY when I have gone off plan. It's MORE important to log when you have gone off plan but that's always when I stop!
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Be in the green
- 4+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- 1h lunch break
- Finish work at 6pm
- French podcast
- Write up notes on jobs
- Plan outfit for wedding
- Decide on new hair cut
- Bake Off!
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11
Words for 2019: Mindful Moderation

@PackerFanInGB I am so sorry to hear about your stepdad. I'm thinking of you and your mum in this tough time.
Sending you big hugs xx 1 -
It is what it is. No looking back. Only looking forward!!
