    JFT 9/8

    90 minutes intentional exercise/movement
    Drink water
    no alcohol
    all meals at home

    Keeping it simple today. I need to simplify what I focus on. So today I focus on fluids and movement. Eating mindfully (enjoying what I eat, pay attention to fullness).

    @snowflake1968 thanks for the thought - I think we all struggle to find time for self-care.

    Gratitude Journal
    Active 15 Minutes

    I had a good day yesterday. We kept the Grands for about 4 hours while their Mom worked and their Dad went to a funeral. The kids and I went to some yard sales and then came home and made a roast beef dinner.

    My coworker is in holidays this week and she gives me a ride home every day. She texted me yesterday morning and told me that her husband’s car is at her sons house for me to pick up so I can save some cab fare this week. I think that is the sweetest thing, I’m so very grateful.

    Today I am going to do some laundry and then I need to figure out something to do. I was supposed to meet with a friend, but again she has backed out on me. I don’t know why, but every plan we make she backs out. She is the one that paid for the swimming lessons and never showed for any. I miss her.

    Work for a bit.

    Cheers y’all!

    Yesterday was a good day, didn't do much. Came into work to work on a project. Listened to football & watched tennis. Had a home cooked meal and did a bit of laundry.

    I'm just now getting on today at 2:30.
    JFT Sunday (usually a non-logging day for me)
    - Up and deal with my dogs and my doggie niece who spent the weekend
    - Teach Sunday School :smile: It was close got sick on the way there. I think that scared the girls.
    - Eat only one doughnut :smile:
    - Listen to S sing at church :smile:
    - Home to change then head to work. :smile:
    - Set up testing. Wait... :smile:
    - Home
    - Laundry
    - Probably skip church
    - Read Bible - I finished Numbers last night.
    - Bed by 10:00

    Hopefully tomorrow I'll make it to CrossFit, and hopefully tomorrow we won't be doing cleans. My elbow still isn't happy with me about the last time.

    Positive Thought: Y'all are amazing, try to let yourselves see that.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 192.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. 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.
    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. I got all the narratives graded! However, none of the laundry. And I did go for a walk this morning, though there was no running. So... all in all, today has not been a complete loss. I'm still not sure if rehearsal goes until 10 or 11 tonight. I guess I'll find out...

    CW: 184 lb
    GW: 180 lbs

    Just for today | Sayturday, 9/7
    1. Journal every single bite and every single sip--good, bad and ugly. :smile:
    2. Run errands - condolence card for P, drawer organizers and shelf paper (Dollar Tree) :smile:
    3. Intentional Activity - 30 minutes :smile:
    4. Continue writing down ideas for a good evening routine. This will be a work in progress until I find what will work for me. :#
    5. Spend time reading scripture. :smile:
    6. Podcasts :smile:
    7. Journal before bed about anything on my mind...good or bad...worry or troubleshooting, whatever is on my mind I will write down. :#
    8. Bedtime: Gratitude Journal, Inspirational readings, Calm App or Bible.com daily inspiration, read more of the mystery I started. :)

    I must have forgotten to hop on here today. I got side tracked when my mom called this morning. She was excited about her neighbor possibly wanting to buy her house. If she can sell the house, she can move closer to us and be near family, which would be really ideal now that my stepdad has passed. So that was hopeful news!

    This morning I threw together venison stroganoff in the crockpot and made baking powder biscuits with it for supper. I worked on my quilt this afternoon while I finished watching Season 3 of The Handmaid on Hulu. It was a pretty quiet day. After dinner, Maddie and I went for a nice walk around the neighborhood. I love this time of year. Just cool enough to walk without getting hot flashes. :mrgreen: I did log all food and water and listen to podcasts. So, even though I didn't post goals, I did achieve what I would have probably listed.

    Morning all. Not posting very frequently at the moment as I have a job interview on Wednesday which I'm doing lots of prep for. I'm a bit nervous about it as it's one I would really like to get! So that's my main focus at the moment, all other goals on hold and posting also a little on hold.

    I did manage to lose 4.5lb since last weekend's wedding which I'm pleased about. That was definitely mainly water weight but I'm pleased to be rid of it! I'm still 6 lb up on what I was at the start of the summer so I will definitely be joining the next 5lb challenge. The question is, when will it be starting and who will win #2.... Lots of you seem to be doing well and we all know that weight can fall off quickly with a few days of concentrated effort.... Feels like any of you could do it! :smile:

    Keeping it simple for today:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Be in the green
    - 5+ bottles water
    - No alcohol
    - Exercise DVD

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

    - Finish work at 5pm
    - Do prep for job interview
    - Spend time relaxing (from 9)
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights off by 11

    Hope everyone has a good week x

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 195.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. 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.
    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. And tech week has begun. I have most of my stuff but need to find my costume necklace. May need to get new foundation as this one has sunscreen and I think it's been giving me trouble.

    JFT 9/8 Recap

    90 minutes intentional exercise/movement :| Did 60
    Drink water :)
    no alcohol :| One glass of red-not terrible
    all meals at home :)

    Did 60 instead of 90 and had a glass of red wine but progress, not perfection.

    Had a nice day, cooked some great food and enjoyed some quiet reading time. Really a lovely day.

    JFT 9/9

    90 minutes exercise/movement
    Calorie Deficit
    no alcohol

    Have a lot going on today work wise, so may not get a great workout in until the evening but may do both, try to get a workout in this morning and then maybe a yoga class this evening. I am sore from my amped up workouts but it's a good sore (mostly!). Hope everyone has a great day!
