DISCARD 5LBS CHALLENGE 4

GW: 176
CW: 12/10 179.5 -1.5lbs
Failed on a few goals yesterday, although l definitely didn't overeat. I found my mother on the floor, she had had a stroke. So now l have both parents in hospital ( different ones) and l am terrified of how I'm going to cope. I'm the only "child" here.

Good morning! I did okay yesterday but not great. This week at work has been a week from Hell. There is just so much to do and not enough time to do it in and I'm really struggling to keep up. There is no one else that knows my position so I can't really get help in that regard. I stayed late several times this past week but I can't make that a habit again as that is really bad for my mental health.
I know I need to be better at setting work boundaries but it's really hard when we are a very small company and the amount of work I get done in one day directly impacts the flow of everything and how quickly our clients can receive their orders. Everything I do at work is time sensitive so I just feel like I have this huge weight on my shoulders and I don't know when it will subside. The only new person my boss wants to (and has hired) is a sales rep to bring us even more business which then will create even more workload .. I'm drowning...
@maryrobinson40 I'm so happy to see you back and so sad to see you're crying 😔 big big hugs, and you're looking gorgeous as always!
@Bex953172 I guess that makes sense, I just want to be fair! I am extremely susceptible to bloating (yayyyy genes lol) so there have been times where I've lost up to 7 lbs of water in a 24 hour period 😳
@littleblackskirt I am so so sorry, big hugs to you, we're all here for you!
@Snowflake1968 you can do this I believe in you!
Yesterday 10/11:
1. Stay within calorie goal😔
2. Finish work at 5:20😔

@aubyshortcake - I truly understand how you feel at work. I was in that position for two years at a previous employer. When I was done they had four people fail before deciding that they needed to replace me with two people. Unfortunately, in most businesses it’s all about the bottom line and they don’t think about their staff at all. My only piece of advice is, unless you are paid for the hours you stay late, you should leave and what isn’t done won’t be done. As long as you know you have put in an honest days work they will never see where the problem is if you keep staying late to do it.

So far, so good! It's getting easier to not grab the candy or ice cream. Each day that goes by without it makes it a little easier the next day. But I have to keep my guard up all the time around it. Tomorrow is my "joy meal" day where I get 2 meals of anything I want. So, I'm trying to figure out what that will be. The Packers play on Monday Night Football this week, but normally they'd be playing on Sunday so that's why I chose Sundays to be my joy meal days. Gotta love football munchies!
@maryrobinson40 I'm so sorry to hear you have been crying. I am praying for the Lord to wrap his arms around you and give you a big hug and bring you peace, honey.

Tomorrow is our Thanksgiving dinner with the family.

@littleblackskirt I am so sorry to hear about your mom! You have had a lot thrown at you and I'm keeping you in my thoughts and in my prayers. I'm sending you hugs, and I hope you can feel them.
@aubyshortcake I totally agree with @snowflake1968! I also left a position like that near the end of 2017. I used the entire year of 2017 trying to figure out how to rid myself of stress. Don't let it make you sick. Hugs to you.

@littleblackskirt - sorry to hear about your parents. Hang in there. Sending you much strength and love4 -
I started the 5lb challenge this time up even more than the last time.
Oct 9 - 191.2
Today - 189.2 - I’m sure a lot of this loss is water weight. I finally got all of my water in yesterday.
This morning I have to make some pies, cook some potatoes for my dressing and run to the grocery store for a few last minute things. We aren’t having dinner until around 6 we both of my girls are working today.
@litlleblackskirt hugs to you, I hope one of your siblings if you have any can come help you out.3 -
Just for today I am going to log everything
That all I want to focus on for now. I think starting small and learning along the way is the best way for myself2 -

Hopping on quick so I can post my goals. Been a busy morning. Had to run to Urgent Care clinic to get some fasting labs drawn for the Integrative Medicine doctor I saw last week. Now I'm getting ready to go on a private tour of Lambeau field. I'm pretty excited! My friend from work has a relative that works there and is allowed to give a tour twice a year and really go behind-the-scenes, so we will see places there that most people never see. I'm such a Packer fan, and for me this is a once in a lifetime chance. and he is doing it for free!
Hope everyone has a good day! I'll hop back on later!

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 191.2
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.

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.

Hey everyone! I've not been awol this time lol! I have been reading @littleblackskirt I'm sorry to hear what happened, how is everything now?
We didn't have the girls Friday night to sat night so me and Ash had a bit of a treat night. But on Saturday we went for an hour long walk!
I'm finding it hard to get my exercise in. Ash has started coming downstairs for dinner and then watching telly together afterwards Which is GREAT that he can do that now because his agoraphobia used to keep him in his bedroom a lot.
But that was also my exercise time and I don't want to say to him can you just stay upstairs a bit longer. And I don't want an audience whilst exercising.
Soooo not sure what to do with that.
I still do at least 3 walks a day with school run x2 and dog walk. Which is helping me stay in the green but I really want to do some vigorous exercise!
Anyway
Goals are to
- Get water in
- Log!! (Been slacking on this a bit!)
- And walking exercise.

Monday 14 October
Our friends have just left after a 10 day visit. I didn't set goals whilst they were here as I knew I'd not keep to them. I've put on a few pounds eating and drinking too much and not excercising so it's time to get back on track. I have read your posts and send hugs to all.
Log accurately
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg
Water
Fitbit excercise goals
Attend to Happy Scale trend - start the loss process.3
