    Recap M 1/20 MLKJ holiday: I work today but hubby doesn't so he will be home when I am done... rare for us on a weeknight.
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 7,094 steps, 250+ 12/14 & 26 floors :neutral:
    2) Prelogged everything but supper / net calories zero / 14c water = Hubby and I decided to stay home for supper instead of going out & I cooked something easy & reasonable. Then I had evening snack attack of Brookside (and no exercise cals to offset)... oops. Net cals -412 :s , sodium -1,586 (zowie!), sugar -34 >:) , fiber excellent, protein good, 12c water
    3) BC-CC (ugh) :D once I finally forced myself to start, not as bad as I thought
    4) To-do's: post JFT weekly w-i :) / order tickets :smiley: yay ~ 3 date nights w/ hubby / email P :smiley: funny neither of us watched end of championship game, just too painful / updated ins. card in car :) finally / prep lunch for T :) / evening w/ hubby <3:mrgreen:
    5) Floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / bed & no tv 10:20 :smiley: (treadmill before work T)

    JFT T 1/21 ~ Yippee ki-yay! Finally got up to early alarm (ok, after several snoozes) and did treadmill workout before work. Not exactly my full distance but it's a start. Back in the habit again?
    1) Walked 2.6 mi treadmill + cool down + stretched before work = yay me! :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / pace during noon webinar / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    3) Prelogged everything but supper / net calories zero (yay exercise cals) / 14c water
    4) BC-CC / request email for f/u OAHC mgmt response / contact HD for webinar assist as necessary
    5) Evening: boil eggs / put dishes in racks away / massage appt 7:30 / other?
    6) Unplug 9:30 / floss / retainers / bed & no tv 10:20 (treadmill W before work)

    I got home from work yesterday (hubby had holiday off) to several surprises: he disposed of dead mouse in trap in garage & he washed pile of dirty dishes. Since he no longer works from home, I am the chief dishwasher (we rarely use our old dishwasher) b/c he hates that chore... I was surprised to say the least, and happy, and told him how happy/thankful I was. He hates the phrase "happy wife happy life" (stubborn mule) but after 15 years of marriage (and 9 years together before that), he's learning it really means something. :D<3

    @pridesabtch Gorgeous dress! I can't wait to see a photo of you wearing it. Also, love your "new" hair.

    @mytime6630 I am related to or know at least 5 men treated for prostate cancer, and all are now cancer-free. Wishing you and hubby the best outcome.

    @Faebert Yay for gym time! So happy you can work out (gently) again.

    Welcome to more newbies! If anyone needs/wants more MFP friends, please read my profile before you send a friend request.

    @pridesabtch Get well soon, it’s tough when you’re poorly and out of sorts. I’m sure you’ll be back on track when you feel better.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery for anyone else who isn’t well at the moment.

    Hello friends! I just caught up, glad to see everyone is doing well for the most part! I was quietly lurking for a bit - then just stopped logging in all together for a week or two! Not sure what made me hop back on today but I earned my 4 year badge 10 minutes prior to logging on so I found that pretty serendipitous! I know I'm here for a reason!

    I'm 33 weeks pregnant -not sure where the time has gone? We had our baby shower on Sunday - it was perfect, and I felt so loved! We also did a 3D ultrasound and did some shopping the weekend before that. I'm still working full time, and DH is on week 3 of his new job so still transitioning. Needless to say, the fatigue has caught up, the house is a mess, we've ordered out or gone out way more than I would ideally like, my eating has been lots of cravings and less of what I need, I'm not sleeping whether its heartburn or snoring or general discomfort. But despite all the less than perfect I'm trying my best to enjoy this season of just DH and I that is coming to an end, and this season of carrying a human inside me too! I'm trying to just focus on the good stuff and not get swept away in the anxiety of whats next. I already did an intake with a clinician with my midwives office so if I do start stumbling down the PPA and PPD path I have clinical support already established. Anyway, I'm happy to be back here with you all!

    So happy to see you post! I was wondering how you are doing! You are getting very close now... So glad you had a nice shower! :smile:

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    Today: 195.8

    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. 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 Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots?
    7. Theater: Christie auditions 20-21 7 PM. Usher 24 6 PM.
    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 new bikes and bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Find cousin photos.

    WFTY: Progress. So, the audition last night went well. I didn't land the part yet, but I did get called back! Callbacks are tomorrow night. So now there's waiting. Blehhhh.

    School feels... off-kilter. I'm making significant changes this semester and it's going well but it isn't as smooth as I'd like it to be.

    @kingscrown Good for you for coming here and stopping the gain before it gets worse!

    I had a similar story—lost 70-80 pounds (didn’t measure much at the highest) back in 2007 and kept off 50 for many years. But the weight slowly kept adding on especially in the past 6 years and now I have 40 pounds to “re-lose”. This time am using the philosophy from the HalfSize Me podcast of focusing on maintenance...I know how to lose, but clearly I need to work on the daily habits I will knees to maintain the loss for good.

    Good luck in your journey, this is a great group!

    @pridesabtch - just read your post about your daughter’s opening night. Horrible to have a clash like that and my heart goes out to you. Sometimes it feels like the moment you become a parent you sign up to a lifetime of guilt and worry (along with all the good stuff of course!)

    So have a cyber hug 🤗 and know that this stranger across the pond thinks you are doing a brilliant job x
