    The long strings of gigantic photos are breaking the thread for me. Even worse is to QUOTE the long stings of gigantic photos. Delete or minimize people!

    I have a migraine and I am grouchy. My goal today is to try to get rid of said migraine before I go back to work tomorrow.

    Happy Sunday! My net calories weren't green on Friday (pre-race carb loading + evening snack) or Sat. and no regrets. This is my lifestyle, not a diet. Yesterday I walked in the Seroogy's Valentine 5K. An hour before race start, the temp was 12F with wind chill of 4. So wore my winter layers & walking boots with footwarmers & mittens with handwarmers. Chilly waiting around for the start but I was nice and toasty once we got moving. Very happy with my time of 46:26.7 and ave. pace 14:47. :star:

    Afterwards, I changed sweaty shirt layers in my car in the parking (thank heavens no one was around) and went shopping at the winter market for local, healthy foods. Included a decadent chocolate peanut butter cupcake from one of my favorite vendors celebrating her bday. I ate that but not the meltaway given at the race finish. At home hubby knew I wouldn't feel like cooking & suggested going out for dinner, which of course I agreed to. Nothing fancy, just omelettes & hashbrowns at Denny's, but nice for me and hubby.

    Today the predicted snowstorm has already started. Snowflakes started falling just as I got to church. I had to brush off > 1" snow when I came home, and it's snowing pretty hard right now. Forecast for snow to end around 9 p.m. and potentially 5-10 inches, so hubby and I will probably be clearing snow at least several times today. That will be my "exercise." On to goals...

    JFT Sunday 2/10
    1) Bible class 8 :) / church 9 :)
    2) Log meals & snacks / net calories green / 14c water
    3) Make big pot of chop suey (dad's recipe)
    4) To-do's: 2 loads laundry / wash dishes / organize records for tax prep / water houseplants / schedule Home Depot pmt / other?
    5) Shovel snow / maybe walk dog in cul de sacs?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & no tv 10:00 (treadmill M before work)

    Valentine Day Challenge net calories green = 4X (3,4,5,6) no roses Fri. 7 or Sat. 8

    2020 Goals
    1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2/1/20
    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
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
    9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk 2/1
    Word for 2020: Persist

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

    Age 62, 5'4.5"
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI

    WFTY: DEPTH
    Depth Year - Updates
    I definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.
    03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.
    1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
    2. Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
    3. Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
    4. Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
    5. I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
    6. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
    7. I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
    8. 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
    9. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
    Daily Goals
    • Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!

    -February goal 😁
    -Laundry 😁It's still sitting in a bag to be folded though. Lol
    -Cook taco meat for lunches 😁
    -Prep some salads 😭
    -Dishwasher😁
    -Write 2 chapters😭 Only a half of one. And that was like pulling teeth. I hope I can finish it today and move on. I need to get this thing done!

    How is everyone today? Well I hope! I'm feeling a little stuffy and have a slightly scratchy throat but that's about it. Hopefully it doesnt get any worse.

    Nothing much to report at the moment to be honest. I was in the green yesterday though. It was the first time all weekend. I prelogged a bunch of what I want to eat today and I'm only at 850 calories so I need to figure out something else to eat. I'll see what else I can find.

    Onto some goals

    JFT, 2/10/20

    -Februrary goal
    -Set up appt to get taxes done
    -JFT
    -Finish ch + one more
    -Bring lunch/keyboard/charger
    -Fold clothes
    -Log rest of my food
    -Empty dishwasher
    -Actually cook dinner!

    Okay I think that's all I have for today! Have great day everyone!

    Good morning! Didn't get much done yesterday other than cooking a fab Korean feast for my husband who loves spicy food. The ribs came out even better than I expected. Fortunately, he didn't leave me many leftovers! Back on track today.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    Today: 193.2

    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. 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: 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 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. My ankle feels a LOT better. I'm going to talk to some of the track coaches at school today to see how I can tell when it's okay to run on it again.
