    JFT SATURDAY:
    - Log everything🟢 / Stay green🟢
    - Exercise🔴
    - NO CHIPS🟢
    - Pick up headbands for the team🟢
    - Organize paperwork🔴
    - Shop for pool supplies🟢
    - Practice music for mass and upcoming wedding🟢

    I’m nervous to get back to singing for mass this morning. It’s been a while and I’m singing with a guitarist who I’m familiar with, but we’ve never played as a duo before. Hoping it goes smoothly.
    Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I’ve done well so far this week. I want to avoid too much salt or anything with dinner tonight. We’re ordering take out for my mom’s birthday so I need to make smart choices.

    JFT SUNDAY:
    - Log everything. / Stay green
    - Pick up dinner for mom’s bday - avoid salt
    - Sing for mass @ 10
    - Pick up CCD tote bag @ 11:30
    - E’s softball game @ 4:00

    JULY CHALLENGE:
    In an attempt to refocus this month, I’ve decided to try and give up chips. This will be extremely difficult. I eat them almost daily. They are my weakness. I’m using a bikini as my emoji, since that will be a goal for next summer!

    *************NO CHIP CHALLENGE*************

    @HEGoddard0928 I was tickled to see you started a blog! I went on and read it. You are a really good writer! I've been thinking about starting one also. I've always wanted to be a writer, but never thought I could do it. Now that I'm unemployed, what better time to try? You don't know if you don't try, right? I see you chose WordPress. Is that the easiest one to use? I've not done any research yet... You GO Hannah!

    @mytime6630 I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed in your husband's news at the doctor. I am on hormone treatments also, and have been for 8 1/2 years. I take one tablet daily, and initially was only for 5 years but studies show 10 years is better so I'm still on it. HUGS and love to you, Joan! xoxo

    @TerriRichardson112 I choose to feed my body the nutrition it needs and feed my mind with the quality thoughts it deserves. I LOVE THIS! What a great thing to tell yourself every day.

    Sending all the rest of my JFT friends a big huge hug and cheering you all on! There are some really great stories on here! So many successes! Happy to be back! :flowerforyou:

    @PackerFanInGB Wordpress definitely has a learning curve. It was a pain to figure out. Lol.

    🌸🌸 If you can't see your feet 🌸🌸
    you're probably not moving them enough



    JULY GOALS ---
    (1) Log all food and beverages honestly; Drink 10+ water [ MEASURE EVERYTHING !!]
    (2) Exercise 30 min minimum (3000 steps)
    (3) Clean 30 min per day: house or yard or declutter

    Tasks for Today ---
    Do 20 min stretches and 30 min of walking
    Feed & Water animals -- done
    Organize Pet Room; vacuum & dust - carryover from yesterday

    I've somehow lost my mental focus. So I've spent this morning researching "losing focus" ... "staying focused" ... "regaining focus" ... and how focus differs from motivation. Between now and the end of July, I plan to restructure my goals and, hopefully, develop a couple of tools to help stay focused and motivated.

    If you have any tips on maintaining focus, I'd appreciate hearing them.

    Have a Blessed Day!! 🌞

      End of May: 191.8
      End of June: 192.2
      Today: 192.0

      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.
