JFT - Friday
Log all my food on MFP and stay under my calorie goal - This may be hard one as I’m planning on having a high calorie meal tonight so trying to eat super low calorie foods all day so I have enough. ✅ Managed to stay under and REALLY enjoyed my tea!!
Longer dog walk than normal - 30 mins?✅ So I didn't end up taking the dog on a longer walk but I did end up taking the horse for a 45-minute walk instead

I had a really good busy weekend. Was out shopping with my mum on Saturday, we stopped off for lunch somewhere and I managed to successfully track my food. Stayed under my calorie goal for Saturday.
Sunday we went to visit my partner’s family. His mum has put loads of food on so I tried to track my calories as best as I could, but it really isn’t accurate for Sunday. I just grazed from 12pm till 5pm ha!


JFT – Monday
Log all my food on MFP and stay under my calorie goal.
Eat veg at lunch and tea time.
Try and fit a gym session in tonight

Scale goals

End of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
Today: 184.8

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut

1. 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).
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).
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!
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.
6. Medical: Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Feb 7 12:00 w new. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for FTN (Feb?) Audition for Avenue Q March. Audition for Christie March. Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.

@cschmitz110515 - Good GRACIOUS that looks cold. Way to go!
@Snowflake1968 and @PackerFanInGB - I will have to post some pictures of our book collection. ;D

Missed on most every important goal yesterday. Didn’t eat breakfast. Dinner wasn’t home cooked, and I didn’t ride the trainer.

JFT Monday 2/11

- Go to the gym before work - check
- Protein bar and maybe fruit for breakfast.
- Get dog to the vet
- Don’t forget to pick up kid from crew at 6:00 (I normally don’t do this, but her car is in the shop).
- Get other kid to tennis at 8:00.
- Figure out dinner with the kids being in and out.
- Just generally pick myself up and dust me off.

Good morning! Yesterday was a lot of fun, but unfortunately I did not meet any of my goals. Today is a new day!

I do not have much weight to lose, less than 10 lbs, and that is the biggest struggle for me since my small deficit can be wiped out SO easily. I really want to improve body composition more than anything since I don't have a lot of muscle and I'm just soft, so this week I'd like to add in resistance training (strong curves). I have done the program before, but my biggest struggle with working out is I get much hungrier to the point of not being able to see my progress because I end up eating in a surplus!

@PackerFanInGB Thank you, that is true! I did do a little bike riding, but I don't think it was enough to make much of a difference since I was over by so much.

Here's yesterday:

1. Stay within 1700 calories 😞 I think it was more like 2400
2. Put away laundry 😞 by the time we got home I had a migraine and had to lay down

JFT 2/11:

1. Stay within calories
2. Go for a walk on lunch break
3. Leave work before 5:30
4. Cook dinner

Hope everyone has a great day!

Got Ashs disability letter today, they denied him the benefit AGAIN.
So now i must take it to tribunal.
If im honest im really anxious about what he'll do if i dont get it back for him. Hes already said he'll want me to go to work and basically pay for it, he seems to think im the one who got it took off him.

Its weird, they say hes able to do X Y and Z yet completely disregard that the only reason he can do them things is because im there as his carer.

I thought I posted my update from Saturday and my Sunday goals last night around 545 but I can’t find them anywhere, so I’ll start fresh today.

Yesterday morning was a bit of a gong show, the tv and Internet was out and had been out from 11 the night before. It came back just as I was putting a DVD in for the Grands. I think hubby would have suffered the most through that but we had our phones back.
I had a very generous offer from a wonderful friend who paid to have it reconnected as she was fearful of me missing a call for the job. I will never in my life forget this person and her kindness.
Anyhow, yesterday morning hubby goes back to the bedroom to lay down and read away from the Grands and for some strange reason the circuit breaker has kicked out. We haven’t determined why yet, but if it’s strange.

Today I woke up from a very nice dream where I was called for the job interview. The person on the other end told me exactly what questions would be asked and told me repeatedly to be myself. The interview was set for Wednesday at 2. I got up with a huge smile on my face. When I came out to the kitchen my smile faded fast. Hubby tells me there is an issue with our furnace. He had been able to get it going but he didn’t know if it would start again when it got cold. It has been working overtime for 2 weeks straight now and there is no sign of warming up. It just tried to start and won’t. I’m not sure what to do about this situation. It is -24 currently and that is our only source of heat. I think I’ll make a fb post to see if anyone I know knows someone who can fix furnaces.

Maybe shivering will burn some calories.
