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

    End of May: 191.8
    End of June: 192.2
    End of July: 188.6
    Today: 190.4

    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. 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. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
    7. Theater: 1984.
    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: 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. Glad to see a drop. I definitely need to be more careful with what I'm eating but it's really hard when the school is providing donuts! XD

    ETA: What day is it today? UGH! ;D

    @Bex953172 - We had a thunderstorm last night too.

    @littleblackskirt - 9 pounds since June is awesome! In 2018 and up until August 2019 I tracked my weight daily on an Excel sheet. I would average it over 7 days, then monthly. I found that I was consistently losing weight even though it didn't feel like it when I stepped on the scale each day. I think I need to get back to that. I still weigh daily, but haven't tracked in a year.

    @HEGoddard0928 - I had to laugh at your sweeping. My Mom swept several times a day, so did my Grandmother. Probably part of it was because we lived in the country with dirt driveways and the men were in and out all day tracking in dirt, anyway I sweep once a week if I'm lucky sometimes if I have a lot going on I spread it out to 2 weeks. I start at one end and just get it done. I don't think I would ever think to just sweep the one room either. I usually clean and do laundry on Saturday or Sunday and then just make the bed and do dishes during the week. I am tired by the time I get home from work.

    @SERmom3 - Your girls will be at school every other week, do you have to teach at home on the opposite week? Is this how your state is doing it for social distancing? I'm very concerned here for my Grandson as they aren't limiting class sizes, aren't making masks mandatory for K-3, and seem to just want to throw them all in. My Grandson is in Grade 4, but K-3 is in the same school and have the same recess. My husband and I were talking last night about how we could help our daughter keep him home this upcoming year and we'll help with the education.

    I am at work, I so don't want to be here. It's going to be a day again.

    Have a great day everyone.

    teaxv47hu1wn.jpg

    That guys, is cereal, 5 mini kids boxes, a box of chocolate hoops and my Special K.

    I gave them breakfast, put tv on and went to sit with ash cause he was still in bed. Saskia wanted to play in her room. An hour is later i went down to change the telly and check theyre okay. I came back upstairs, sat with ash a little while longer, got a shower come down and this.
    I didnt even shout. Just cried.

    First pic, you can see the mop bucket that I used just yesterday.
    Believe it or not, them rooms were spotless :(they were still spotless this morning. Then this.

    Do you see why I hate cleaning now lol
    And now no one has breakfast and we have no money. Woop woop!


    (In case you haven't noticed, if not found the funny side yet, if there is one lol)

    🍑The Peachy Bum Challenge 🍑

    Started the challenge today! 30 days of bum workouts to see if these apps actually make a difference (and if I can stick to something for once in my life!)

    Day: 1,

    🍑

    ______

    I'll have to modify some workouts, i couldnt find anything suitable for a bench, i used the dining chairs but theyre cushioned. So ended up doing it in very bad form. So I'll switch out those that use equipment I don't have and find a modification that still works the same part of muscle.

    But day 1 complete!

    @Bex953172 I'm so sorry about the cereal! That really sucks! I'm so glad that you got your challenge done for the day! I still have to complete mine. Lol

    @Snowflake1968 I hope your day got better! I hate those kinds of days! I usually sweep everything at once too. Well at least the kitchen, office, and bathroom which are at one end of the house. But every time I think about it the floor's been wet from showers! Which means I can't sweep because it'll just make smears of mud all over the floor. Lol.

    @cschmitz110515 Slow computers are the pits! I hope you made it through the day without throwing it!

    @clicketykeys I saw that you mentioned donuts at school. Are you going to be doing in class teaching?

    @teigansdad Matt LOVES peanut m&ms. I have to be vigilant and make sure I don't eat any or I'll be in big trouble. I think he likes to keep offering them to test me.

      Having difficulty with motivation this week. Went off the rails Tuesday, didn’t exercise, ate poorly, didn’t journal or plan Wednesday. So today I didn’t do too well either. Eating not as bad, but no exercise. Wrote out a long journal entry on my “why”—need to keep revisiting. I need to shake something up, I’m in a rut, gaining and losing the same 2-4 pounds for nearly 2 months. I’m proud that I’m still here, haven’t given up, I’m still going at it, but I’m a total engineer—I hate the inefficiency I’m exhibiting in working hard then self-sabotaging. I will post every day here for the next week ideas for how I can tackle this until I settle on something (maybe a 6-week challenge for myself or something).

      Daily habits: track, exercise, journal
      Thursday Action Plan
      1. Up by 6am, pill, set timer, weigh
      2. Walk 6:30-7:15, then stretch!!
      3. Pill, Shower,
      4. Breakfast = protein shake + high fiber tortilla + fruit
      5. Lunch = salad + chicken
      6. IT rehab exercises and arm weights at 1pm
      7. Dinner = DH choice
      8. Figure out Friday workout slot
      9. Upstairs by 9
      10. layout clothes
      11. Journal
      12. Meditate
      13. Lights out 9:45

      GRATITUDE: I am grateful for this community where I can be accountable and vulnerable about my challenges.

      WOTY: Habits

      @snowflake1968 —for tracking your weight, have you tried Happy Scale? It’s a free app and does a great job of showing you averages for a week, month, 90 days, etc as well as trends especially if you weigh daily (more data, better estimates). Really easy to use, assuming you bring your phone along to wherever you weigh in.

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. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
      7. Theater: 1984.
      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: 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.
