1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
2) Net cals green / 14c water
3) Meet w/ in-charge / prep & email initiation memo / keep pushing GA-IT to finish
4) Prep lunch, snacks, water bottle & overnight oats

When the alarm went off at 5:40 I just couldn't get myself to get up before sunrise to walk dog. So reset alarm and dozed off. I need to get over this, because the summer is gone and it's only going to be darker longer. Plus dog really wants our walks together. And I need the exercise calories.
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP

5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 / 100 Miles Challenge fundraiser (per fitness tracker) & completed 5/18/20 / Bellin Run 10K virtual race w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace" / Hope Isn't Canceled virtual 10K w/ dog 8/29/20 1:43:10 ave. pace 16:36

- cook dinner😥Matt wanted take out. Thinking about it now, this poor food choice might have caused the poor mood
- NO CHOCOLATE 😐 only a chocolate covered ice cream bar. I'm going to take this as a win because I didn't go out and get a bunch of candy or anything
- Walmart😥 moved to today.
Posting my goals late today. I slept in late again this morning. I need to stop doing this. I go to bed at a decent time and then spend too much time asleep then I wake up groggy and out of sorts. Definitely not a good thing.
Matt's schedule got moved around today and no one told him. He got to work at 545am and found out he didn't need to be there until 3pm. The other crappy thing about it is that he's losing 3 hours because he's going from a 10hr shift to a 7hr shift. When you're on a very tight budget 3 hrs is a lot of money lost.
Onto some goals.
Today I will:
- up by 10 😥
- post 😁
- pill 😁
- Walmart
- actually cook myself dinner
- walk
- Do not buy cookies at Walmart!
- 50 word challenge
Super simple today.2 -
@Snowflake1968
I have the same problem with retention at times. The extra water definitely helps. Sorry about your back. A comfortable bed is so important. I hope something turns up and you can get it sorted soon.
@PackerFanInGB
I hope you can get something sorted soon.
@littleblackskirt
It's difficult to deal with the munchies problem. I find it easier to just limit the amount of my trigger foods so that if I scoff the lot the damage is minimal.
@Faebert
Hugs on the problems of coordinating school/work etc. .
@teigansdad
😪 Poor wee dog. We have our fur babies for a such short time. Letting them go iscso sad.
@pridesabtch
Pah! Bureaucracy!!! At least she is philosophical about it. Cut yourself some slack.
We met up with our younger daughter to walk her dogs on the beach before dinner tonight. Really enjoyed it, but will suffer tomorrow as I had already exceeded my step goal for today and did another 5000 onnthe beach walk. My thighs and gluteus are not happy. 😂🌾🎍🌵🌴💕💖💕💖💕🌴🌵🎍🌾

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 discussion board for comments due Friday. 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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
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 call to schedule cleaning. ObG schedule for October. When is re-up with ortho? Schedule PCP for same day.
7. Theater: ???
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor.
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 bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: squats, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

@mytime6630 - Your challenge is how I got back into the habits a couple of months ago. I swore I would log all food and would post goals each day. It's helped me get back to some semblance of control. Now if I could just avoid those $*% chips!
@pridesabtch - I love the outdoor scenic grad photos. They don't seem to do them here like other places and I missed out on those with my girls.
I overslept this morning, I was having a dream so when the alarm went off I hit the snooze. I don't give myself enough time in the morning to hit the snooze when I'm not driving myself. I was having a strange dream about the boss I currently have being mean to me again when she came back from holidays. I was talking to a coworker about it, when one of my favourite bosses of all time came in and took over. I'm going to have to text her and tell her about it, she'll think it's funny.
I recorded the 25th Anniversary Riverdance show on PBS on the weekend. Last night for my 15 minutes of exercise, I "danced" along with them. I am not a dancer! I probably looked like a 3 year old girl that is pretending to be a ballet dancer, but I moved and had fun and no one saw me so that is the important part.
Well since I was late for work I should get at it.
Have a great day everyone

Had a good day yesterday. Got some good writing done. Took a short walk. Did a quick Walmart trip. Just a simple easy day.
Posting my goals late today. I wanted to get up at 9 am today but that didn't happen. I ended up resetting the alarm for 10. I was only awake for about 15 minutes before I went back to sleep and didn't get up until 12:30.
Oh! Something else I learned yesterday! I'm back to school on Tuesday and have a PD day tomorrow! I'm so excited! I can't wait to be working again. I miss it. I need to have some semblance of a schedule and this will do that. The day starts at 8 and ends at 2. So it's only a 6 hour day but it's enough to keep me busy. The only kind of annoying thing is that Matt's manager keeps scheduling him for closing shifts for selfish reasons. So he'll be starting work when I'm leaving work and he'll be getting home when I'm going to bed. Hopefully, his manager schedules him for some morning shifts soon too. But either way, I'm glad to be going back to work!
I've completed most of my goals for the day already but I'm going to put them on my list anyway.
Today I will:
- up at 9 😥
- Walmart 😁
- dishwasher😁
- post😁
- take pill😁
- liquor store😁
- paystub😁
- write climax scene
- video chat with T

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 discussion board for comments due Friday. 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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
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 call to schedule cleaning. ObG schedule for October. When is re-up with ortho? Schedule PCP for same day.
7. Theater: ???
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor.
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 bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: squats, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

Hospital appointment Inconclusive, either A or B, not able to be x-rayed. X-ray department working reduced capacity (understandable) and "my" doctor was not allocated any spaces that day, so not sure why I was there. Going back in 3 months.
Weekly shop as I was in town I went to a "big food shop" first time since March. Went a bit overboard buying different (and cheaper!) things. Will have plenty to eat for a while, everything was healthy, except the cake...or is carrot cake healthy lol.

Well I met my goals yesterday, but I was over on calories, but within maintenance. Senior pictures seemed to go really well. I'm excited to see them.
My bike budget has switched to a single sculling boat budget for my daughter. Tim and I are going to postpone our big biking trip for a year or two to give S this opportunity. I'm really glad we can do it. Besides in a few years both girls will be out of the house and logistics for the ride will be much better.
I also started the ball rolling for my younger daughter to be a foreign exchange student next year. She wants to go to Japan. She is taking on-line Japanese this year in high school and I figure if she is determined enough to learn the language the least I can do is check it out. It may be cost prohibitive, but you never know until you ask.
JFT Thursday
- Work early
- V to doctor appt at 9:30
- back to work
- If not raining ride after work. If raining Peleton
- Log
- No sweets during the day. If ok on calories have a SMALL bowl of the salted caramel chocolate chip ice cream hubby made for an evening snack. Maybe if I have something to look forward to the day time temptations will be easier to resist.

Scale was 195.6 this morning.
@HEGoddard0928 - I'm so happy for you that you get to go back to work. Hopefully Matt's boss quits messing with his schedule.
@littleblackskirt - How frustrating not to get the xray you needed.
@pridesabtch - I am working with a young girl that did a one year exchange to Japan when she was in high school, she is now waiting for Japan to open up to allow Canadians to enter as she has a teaching job there. She's been accepted into the program and was to have left a couple weeks ago. In the meantime she has accepted a subbing position for a local school board.
This has felt like such a long dragging week. My favourite coworker has been out all week, her Granddaughter and son was sick last Friday with a fever and she had visited on Thursday evening so she had to go for a Covid test. Her granddaughter and son both had one and their results were negative, she needs a negative result before she is allowed to return. She hasn't been sick, but we have to follow the rules.
I am going to dig in my hope chest tonight to find my parents wedding pictures to take for my daughter this weekend. She has a wall in her house that she has put pictures of his and her grandparents on their wedding days. My Inlaws didn't have wedding photos, but we have a photo of them together about a year or so after they were married. She also included my maternal grandparents in her wall because she remembers them.
Well off to work.
Have a great day everyone.

Happy Thursday! Apparently I have more issues building and sticking to a routine when I'm NOT working than when I am working! LOL I cannot seem to get into a rhythm, and I was furloughed on June 24th! That's what happens when you've worked 40-60 hours a week for 43 years....you don't know who you are and it's rather confusing!
I did really well with my goals yesterday. I met all of them except for actually having them listed in here. I joined the No BS Community (formerly called Phit & Phat) and have been listening to the courses and doing the worksheets and challenges, and it has really helped to motivate me.
Yesterday's challenge was to document each time I had an urge to eat something off plan. I had to write what I was thinking, what my body was feeling and what my choice was...did I eat it or walk away? It really made me stop and think. I also paid attention to my hunger signals....was I hungry or was I eating just because I always eat at that time? Did I need to eat everything or was I full? Things like that--stuff I really don't give a lot of thought to. Yesterday, I actually drank 99 oz water, measured out 1cup of ice cream, walked away from unplanned grabs/snacks, and I closed the kitchen at 7:30 p.m. Today, I woke up 1.8 lbs lighter on the scale! Yay!
I haven't seen today's challenge yet but I'm excited to see what it is!
Just for Today: Thursday- #NoBS 24H Assessment and Plan / Readings: SA, NDNM / Daily Dialog / Take a.m. meds
- Prelog food. Stick to plan. Close kitchen at 7:30 pm
- 90 oz H2O
- #NoBS Facebook live for Day 4 of 21-day challenge
- Trim dog's nails. Brush and groom.
- Activity. Even 15 minutes. Find something with little to no knee impact.
- Finish sewing tote bag
- Evening Routine: Pack tomorrow's Bkfst, L & S tonight and prelog in MFP Food diary / Close kitchen at 7:30 pm / Skin care / Assess #NoBS 24H for today / Readings from SA and DO / Gratitude Journal / Read for an hour and then lights out.
- Get up at 0700 to establish morning routine.
Ongoing Task List:1. Letter to rental company - deliver to drop box on Monday.
2. Call D. Health and have them call insurance.
3. Sept budget
4. Take pics of H's art
5. Upload pics of H's art with description
6. Open H's Etsy shop
7. Research Blogging
8. Research Etsy shop for tso
9. Paint wall by fridge in LL
10. Ask DH to move deer mounts to different part of basement

So apparently I got my information wrong. My company is still waiting to hear from the school district about a job placement. I was supposed to go to an all day training today but I couldn't because the district is going crazy and dropped the ball. So now I don't know any of the protocols for starting the new year, only that a mask is required. I'm waiting for a phone call from my liaison with the district to find out what's up. Hopefully I get to start on Tuesday but at this rate I'm not sure.
I've been battling a headache all day too. It's just been an annoying day.
Today I will:
- post 😁

- pay bills

My eating habits have not been as good and I’ve been slack about writing goals. Yesterday I wrote goals but don’t think I posted them. Ended up not working out and missing my caloric mark AND having couple beers. I’m blaming sleep deprivation and stress. We are struggling here because our 13 year old toy fox terrier seems to be quickly declining. So much so that we are starting to worry if we should have her put down. Right now she seems happy but other times not so much. Vet says she has doggy dementia, liver disease and oh BTW she’s pretty much def and now also has to wear a little doggy diaper cuz she drinks, paces and pees when she’s not sleeping.
My daughter is not gonna do well with this...
Sorry for unloading.
I was MIA for a bit so wasn't sure if you were still posting and I didn't see it or if you had stopped. Either way, I'm happy to see you write. You have been a huge inspiration to me in your journey, so I hope you don't give up. You really kicked some *kitten* this year! Give yourself a break....we all have *kitten* things happen in our lives, and watching your fur baby decline is heartbreaking!!! 🥺 My husband is still heartbroken over our black lab, Jack, who passed about 2 years ago. They're family. Take care of yourself and I'm glad to see you here.Snowflake1968 wrote: »@PackerFanInGB - I have a friend of a friend that has started recording audio books from home. You just need a very quiet room and from my understanding the companies help set up the equipment. It might be something to look into. I have no idea how to go about it. UPS here in Canada has all of their office staff working from home now and a lot of telecommunication companies do as well.
I understand the ideas that swirl around your head when you're at home and there is a lot you want to do, but you're frustrated because you don't have the money to do the projects.
Recording audio books would be an awesome job! I wonder how you even get into something like that. I doubt that I'd even get hired. I don't exactly have a melodic voice... 😁 I'm kind of watching for jobs I can do from home, but so far I've seen nothing that I have any experience in.2 -
Snowflake1968 wrote: »@mytime6630 - Your challenge is how I got back into the habits a couple of months ago. I swore I would log all food and would post goals each day. It's helped me get back to some semblance of control. Now if I could just avoid those $*% chips!
I recorded the 25th Anniversary Riverdance show on PBS on the weekend. Last night for my 15 minutes of exercise, I "danced" along with them. I am not a dancer! I probably looked like a 3 year old girl that is pretending to be a ballet dancer, but I moved and had fun and no one saw me so that is the important part.
That IS the important part! I have the rhythm and grace a baboon, but when I go in the basement and play Body Groove videos on You Tube and dance along with them, I have so much stinkin' fun!!! I think I'd die if anyone ever saw me! hahaha! Oh, and chips are my downfall too! If I let myself have even one, I will sit down with the whole bag and that would be my dinner every single night. Just thinking about it has my mouth watering!cschmitz110515 wrote: »JFT W 9/2
1) Walked dog 3.93 miles before work YAY happy dog & happy me
YAY I woke up just before alarm & GOT OUT OF BED before sunrise. Me so not a morning person. But dog was very happy to go walking with me.
Wednesdays are my assigned day to work in the conference room. With the oldest, slowest PC on earth. With IE for the only browser. I will need patience today.
I woke up around the same time today, but my dog is NOT a happy dog since I thought about getting up for a walk for about 15 seconds before I rolled over and went back to sleep! I really admire how you make yourself do it! I know I'd love early morning walks if I could only get myself to do it.
@HEGoddard0928 I hope everything gets straightened out for you with getting back to work! It sounds like your book is coming along really well! I'm excited for you!
@mytime6630 Yay for the bird feeders! I love watching them also, but those dang squirrels do tend to hog the food! My DH now buys 2 different mixes...one for birds in the bird feeder, one he sprinkles on the ground for the squirrels. It seems to help keep the squirrels from climbing onto the feeder! I will miss them when they leave and go south for the winter, but we have cardinals that stay all year round and they're just stunning against the white snowy background.

@cschmitz110515 - I think sending regrets to parties is a good idea right now. It's hard to do though.
@PackerFanInGB - That sounds like a cool challenge, having to write down why you're eating something would be a big deterrent I would think.
I don't know how you you would get into a job like that, but it would be interesting I bet.
More I wanted to comment on but I'll have to catch up later, I have a busy work day today
