    So as seen above I didn’t do well . Mainly is a dinner issue hubby had to do a almost thanksgiving dinner . I avoided some of it but everything but the green beans had a ton of calories.
    I did get some exercise but not even trying to make up that much calories. Good thing is my original calorie goal was 1500 and I lowered it .

    Tomorrow’s just for today.
    No sodas at all
    Walk 2 miles
    Stay under goal

        Log everything yes
        Stay in the green yes! Only because I included the lawn mowing exercise
        Back exercises forgot
        Parents weekly shop yes
        Walk mowed the lawn instead
        Some gardening if it dries up yes
        Carry on with finances - yes
        Submit annual tax return yes, had a treat when it was done. 100 calories of cake, it was a tiny piece!

        2 weeks in, and I'm getting used to logging and cutting back. Yesterday I resisted snacking even though I wanted to. I went to bed still thinking about eating crisps :) but I knew I wasn't really hungry, just mouth hungry.

        JFT Wednesday 17th June

        Log everything
        Stay in the green
        Back exercises
        Laundry
        Try to get battery for parents watch, suspect shops are still shut
        Walk
        Gardening
        Carry on with finances, one big thing left, then tidying away

        TUESDAY:
        - Virtual graduation ceremony for my 5th grader. 👩‍🎓🟢
        - Homeschool🟢
        - Log it / stay green🔴
        - Grocery shop🟢
        - Final dance class for E🟢
        - Landscaping project🟢

        Today will be a little sad. My 5th grader will have a drive by the school to pick up her yearbook. All of the teachers will be lining the street to cheer for the kids. I can’t even type that out without tearing up! 😭 Not how we thought the end of the year would be for them, but I’m grateful that the school is still trying to make it special.

        Yesterday after the virtual celebration we made a few bunches of flowers and dropped them off at some of her friend’s houses. It was a lot of fun and made everyone smile.

        JFT WEDNESDAY:
        - 5th grader parade/yearbook pick up💕
        - Homeschool
        - Landscaping
        - Final dance class for B
        - Exercise (cardio)

        Be well! 💕

        @littleblackskirt, I like that idea of "mouth hungry." I have that a lot and it is hard to overcome!

        @merope2, I know! My mouth wants to eat and my hands want to feed it lol. Especially right now being stuck at home alone and thinking I deserve a treat. Lots of willpower required, I keep reminding myself I want to be slimmer more than I need a treat.

        Scale goals
        End of 2017: 174.6
        End of 2018: 189.2
        End of 2019: 196.4
        End of January: 194.6
        End of February: 196.2

        End of April: 192.6
        End of May: 191.8
        Today: 192.2

        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 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.
        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 call to schedule cleaning. PCP July 15 10:30. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
        7. Theater: 1984.
        8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - 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: Google Hangout. Dinners?
        12. 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. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, 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?

        WFTY: Progress.
