It's been so long! There's been so much going on! We moved. I started a new job. Matt went back to work.
Just so much craziness! I managed to stay the same weight-ish. I've been eating pretty terribly. I have been cooking more recently. It's been nice. I have a full stovetop and oven.
I can't wait to read back through some posts and see how everyone is doing!
JFT, 10-7-19
1. Log all food(good bad & ugly)😁
2. Stop by the house and put food in the crock😁
3. Hit my step goal😁
It's almost 730 here so way too late to set goals. My only goal right now is to manage to take a shower before bed.
I had a great day today! We found something that my student at the school really likes to do. He likes to make things with Knex. A kind of building toy that works with joints and sticks. We found that if you put a picture card with an example of a project he'll ignore the steps and just use the picture to build it. I've been giving him increasingly difficult ones over the last two days and he's been knocking them out of the park! It's been great to see.
I had a session with my ABA boys today. They are the most adorable things in the world. I love working with them. I usually work with them at an aftercare facility after school. School's are closed tomorrow in the district for a Jewish holiday so I'm going to the boys home to do a play session. I'll be by myself for the first time. I'm a little nervous about that but I know it'll be fine. Me and my supervisor talked about me picking up more hours over the next few months so that was exciting today too.
Okay, I'm gonna make some goals for tomorrow right now.
JFT, 10/9/19

Did good yesterday! I managed to blend my 30 minutes of self care into taking my dog for a walk and listening to podcasts, so that was actually nice! Then I hopped in shower and was settled in before The Voice started.
It worked out so well, I did it again tonight. Hoping this turns into a habit. I don’t walk fast or far in 30 minutes but I imagine that will get better with time. 🙃
I did not have time to post goals today but they would have been the same as yesterday. I had same outcomes too.
Tomorrow is work at home day so I will post goals in the morning. ♥️

Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- 5+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts Successfully talked myself out of having a gin with bake off, which I was quite pleased about. That's become a little habitual so it was good to avoid it
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- Finish work by 5.15
- Give blood (or attempt to, haha) It did turn out to be 'attempt to' as I got turned away for having low iron... Thankfully after I'd only waited 5 mins rather than 45 like previously! I don't actually have low iron, but they want you to have high iron for donation and I didn't meet that criteria. I mentioned that I hadn't been eating very healthily lately and was a bit tired from stress and she said both those things can lower iron. So that's incentive to look after myself a bit better!
- Clean shoes YES! I'm really pleased with myself for doing this, they'd been hanging around waiting to be cleaned for weeks and I finally did it, even though I was feeling lazy. It took ages as well, I appear to have bought some shoes that mark really easily and spent ages cleaning a red?! smear off one
- Sort out money
Didn't get round to this though. Forgot about bake off when I planned to do it!

Omg I used to LOVE Knex!!! My brother had a massive box of the stuff!! He had to help me when I was younger because sometimes I couldn't snap them apart, but he also used this to his advantage and "locked" the box.. using Knex lol!!!
But we did all sorts! We made big forts and then used our nerf guns on each other and he got a (can't remember what it was called) but he made like a rollercoaster going all the way down the stairs lol! It was a special kit to do it lol!
Ahh thanks for the nostalgia lol!2 -

Hi everyone, I've not been on here for a while and dieting has taken a back seat. I'm hoping if I post a few aims JFT I will be more aware of my eating and I'll exercise more. Weighed myself this morning, pleased and surprised that I've not gained anything (see, I can maintain, just too high lol)
So JFT Wednesday 9th October
Walk
Do back exercises
Practice gratitude
Lift the red bag as a reminder (it weighs 30lbs)
Finish sorting bedroom, clothes to charity shop
Do not buy chocolate (I don't know how to write this without using a negative! The aim is not to bring chocolate into the house)
I see you have just started a new 5lb challenge, and I'd like to join please. I lose slowly but it will focus my mind

Good morning, I forgot to weigh in for the challenge before chugging a bunch of water and coffee 🤦♀️, I will have to tomorrow.
Yesterday was terrible..I got so overwhelmed and upset at work and just ate everything in sight. I can really feel what the past week and a half has done with my overeating, I'm like spilling over my jeans 😭😭 I'm sure a lot of it is water but it's still not something I'm happy about. And to top everything off I dropped my pretty cup I was all excited about yesterday and put a big scuff in it lol 🤦♀️🤦♀️

Good morning! Work at home day, so I'm in a good mood. LOL!
This morning I have an appointment with an Integrative Medicine doctor at our clinic. She focuses on healing the body, mind and spirit as a whole and tries to use the most natural ways, mixed with medicine if needed, to help a person be the best they can be. I've worked with her, and she's just an awesome lady, so I'm excited.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 189.2
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 Schedule for July. ObG Oct 22 10:30. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: What's 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. Weight is at a new low - not counting a few weeks ago when I went to the ER and couldn't keep any food down for two days. It's SO nice to see the scale starting to make consistent progress DOWNWARD. I got no parent calls or grading done yesterday, but today I only have to cover like 25 minutes of someone's class during my planning. (Bleh.)3 -

Eugh I feel so run down today.
I was feeling sick most the morning and so I took some Gaviscon. And it's stopped me feeling sick but my backside has not been well today (lol tmi sorry!)
But the cramps are horrible and so painful. I've not been able to eat all day and I just feel so dehydrated.
I had to push both girls in the pram to collect Saskia too from school.
I just want to sleep sleep sleep. But ash should be home soon.
So weigh in tomorrow should be interesting lol! (I won't add it into the challenge though lol)
Hope everyone else is well today.
