Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
Today: 194.8
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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 auditions 27-28 6:30.
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. I managed my long run today, but it wiped me out so bad. And I've done NO grading. *sigh*

Hello team,
I forgot to post here last night, or rather I fell asleep watching TV very early and just ended up going to bed. I am sure my body needed it after last week. I took today as a loaf day. It's the first day I've had in two weeks where I wasn't 1. bedridden with the flu or 2. frantically trying to stay afloat at work. Is my house a disaster, yes. Is there a mountain of paperwork I could catch up on, yes. But I feel good about taking today to lay low and give myself time to recoop. I have one week left to my DietBet and I am at my goal weight for it. So now I just have to maintain. My goal will be to stick to my meal plan for the week, and then have a cheat day at the end. I am not sure where I will go from there, I am halfway to my total goal weight, with 25 lbs to go. However, my biggest goal is to develop healthy habits for life, and I have yet to find a balance between strict rules I can follow short term, and really unhealthy habits. Ugh, why is the balance so tough! Is everyone feeling better? Sounds like people were down with illness/food poisoning a lot this week! Hope you are all on the mend!
@clicketykeys that half marathon sounds amazing! I am so excited for you!
@ajb1014 How scary! I'm glad your stepdad is ok!
@mytime6630 I can't imagine hearing that news. You and your family are in my thoughts. I'm glad to hear they have a plan of attack, and hopefully you'll have more information soon about what to expect. Stay strong and keep the faith. *hugs* to you

Fitbit exercise goals
I know I’m going to struggle to meet most of my goals. I’m out riding for much of today. Lunch will be whatever snacks are offered provided the horse stands still enough for me to eat and I won’t be drinking much because of the inevitable consequences! My father is cooking a Sunday roast and I’m likely to be ravenous by then. I’m having porridge for breakfast to sustain me.4 -
@mytime6630 I'm so sorry to hear your news. I was really hoping it would be more positive. Here's hoping that the Feb 13 news is more positive. I'll be thinking of you both and absolutely will say some prayers for you. Xxx3

@mytime6630 So sorry, Joan. (((Hugs))) 🙏🏻 for you and your family. Even with this result there is much that can be done.
The only failure is giving up!

WFTY: DEPTH
Depth Year - UpdatesI 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 didnt post goals yesterday which I'm glad about because I did virtually nothing. I slept until 2:30 in the afternoon, probably because I havent been feeling well.
I made it to Walmart and into a parking spot when I got a text message from Matt. He punched a brick wall at work because he was frustrated with another employee and broke his *kitten* hand! I took him to an urgent care because we didnt have money for the ER. We got there about a half hour before they closed. Thank God. We had a really great experience which was nice. We were in and out super quick. They took X-rays of his hand and he has a boxer's break. But it didn't look like any of the bones moved so it should be an easy heal. The doc put Matt in a fiberglass splint and told him to follow up with an ortho.
I am BEYOND pissed off at him. I seriously thought he was over this kind of thing. He hasn't done anything like this in a couple of years. Definitely not since he moved to his new store. And now we're both paying the price. At least he knows that he cant miss work. So he'll just have to muscle through the pain. Which is something he's pretty good at. But I had to cancel my doc's appt so that he can go to his ortho this week hopefully. I'm pissed it had to happen on a weekend because we have to wait to do all this stuff now.
So my husband is an idiot and he has a very unhappy wife...sucks to be him.
We had chicken nuggets and french fries for dinner last night. By the time I realized that I really wanted chocolate I was 3 glasses of wine in. There was no way I was compounding the crappy day by driving drunk. So no chocolate for me. I contemplated making brownies too but thought better of it.
So today is a new day and we'll see what it brings. Matt is at work from 12-7. We'll see if he can make it the whole day and if he gets written up for punching a wall and breaking his hand.
But onto my goals
JFT 2/2/20
-Feb goal
-Laundry
-Dishwasher
-Insta shift 12-4

So it's my first post here, it's morning now and here's what I want to achieve in terms of weight loss:
Eat no more than 6,000 KJ
Reduce my sugar intake from yesterday
I'll post before I sleep how I went6 -
@HEGoddard0928 Wow I feel for you! I would be super pissed if my DH pulled a stunt like that, and messed up my own plans to boot. Thoughts and good wishes heading your way, hoping he heals fast and makes it up to you!1

I know I’m going to struggle to meet most of my goals. I’m out riding for much of today. Lunch will be whatever snacks are offered provided the horse stands still enough for me to eat and I won’t be drinking much because of the inevitable consequences! My father is cooking a Sunday roast and I’m likely to be ravenous by then. I’m having porridge for breakfast to sustain me.
I’m shattered, when I got off the horse, my knees buckled and I sat in a puddle! The horse behaved beautifully but I was not fit enough 😊😊. Sunday dinner was excellent and I’ve eaten/drunk enough to be in the red but I’ve had a lovely day so I’m happy. Tomorrow’s a new day, I expect to ache and grumble my way through it 😊6 -
