☘️☘️ ☘️ ☘️ Shamrock Challenge (17, 18, 19, 22)
JFT, Sun
1. go to gym
2. log all food
3. concentrate on water
4. move more logs
5. clean up sticks/branches in yard -- suppose to be in upper 50s!
6. laundry
7. go for a walk
8. positive thoughts all day
Yesterday was a total failure for me.. the only thing I did do was get yard work done.I did great until about 3pm when I went to the grocery store to get hamburger and buns (hubby wanted to grill, since it was mid 50s out).
I was craving something sweet... and I should have just gone and got me a ice cream cone at McDonalds. No. Instead I bought a b ox of ice cream. Then they had cadbury eggs .. buy 2 get 1 free. So I bought 3 of those. Then they had chocolate covered pretzels on sale .. and I bought a bag of those.
and .. I ate all of this stuff from about 6pm until I went to bed. It is the first time in a long time that I had a out of control binge eating... and just could not stop. I felt sick when I went to bed ... and once again... mad and upset with myself. Old habits can come back so quickly, and I was miserable. The only good thing is that all that junk food is gone now, so at least today, I can do a little better.
I know when I am in the store not to buy this stuff. But I always find a way to justify it. Like .. I will only eat one small bowl of ice cream. The cadbury eggs were for my daughter. The pretzels are good for me. I justify it so I buy it. I have to learn to do better in the grocery store ... it starts there
So no shamrock for me today either!
So today is a new day, a monday.
JFT, MOnday
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. concentrate on healthy eating ... stay in the green
4. laundry
5. already went to gym with hubby this morning, but we only stayed 30 minutes. so maybe try and go again tonite.

Could everyone please check their shamrocks in case I missed any? 😂3 -
So busy doing the shamrocks that I forgot my goals. 🤦🏼♀️
The only failure is giving up!============================================================
2019 DISCARD 5 LBS CHALLENGES:
01 Aug 2019: 170.1
31 Dec 2019: 151.2
Total weight loss: 19.9lbs
==============================
2020 Personal Discard Weight Challenge
Name: Terri
My plan is to weigh less at the end of each month than I did at the beginning
SW: 152.1 (02 Jan)
GW: 147.1
Jan: - 2
February:
Sat 01: 150.1Week 1: - 1
Sun 02: 151 Self inflicted! Late night snacking
Mon 03: 150.1 Phew!
Tue 04: 148.6 - 3.5 😍
Wed 05: 149.6 😂 Boing! Boing! Boing!
Fri 07: 149.1 🤞🏻
Week 1
Sat 08: 148.9
Sun 09: 149.4
Mon 10: 149.2
Tue 11: 148.8
Wed 12: 148.4
Thu 13: 148.7 just gotta deal with these daily fluctuations and hope that the trend is ever downward.
Fri 14: 148.6
Sat 15: DNW slept very late and forgot
Sun 16: 150.1
Mon 17: 148.6 😄 Phew!!!
Tue 18: 148.8
Wed 19: 148.8
Thu 20: 149.6
Fri 21: 149.6
Week 2: - 0.5
Week 3: + 1 Not unduly worried about this. I had cake on Fri at Latin, lunch out on Wednesday, so water retention is more than likely a factor. TBH I'm really happy with maintaining under 150, especially since I have continued to improve my muscle mass, and reduce my BF%age.
Week4:
Sat 22: 149.4
Sun 23: 149.2
Monday: 149.2
==============================
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 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.Daily Goals
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.- 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.
- Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
- Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
- Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
- 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.
- 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
- 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.
- 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.
- 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
- Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!
- Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise
- Other: Daily Mindfulness Practice/Meditation; Practice Self-care; Positively reframe thoughts; Live! Love! Learn!; 15 mins Daily Declutter session; keep up to date with chores

@terririchards thank you for the shamrock challenge. It’s came at the time I was thinking that I needed to get back on track but not actually committing to doing the right things! ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ = a loss of 1.3lbs and 7 days of exercise 😊. Now that I weigh less than I did this time last week, I’m adding that as a goal until I get back to my maintenance range.

@mytime - suggestion for next time the candy calls you at the store; stop, read the ingredients, check the calories, tell yourself "I don't need this", these ingredients are bad for me, give yourself some minutes to think and be mindful. I have to do this sometimes to get past it.

Thank you... and yes, that is a great idea. Sometimes I do this, but many times, I feel I will handle the food OK at home .. only to prove that I can't! But thank you so much for the suggestion... I'll remember this next time!2 -

Hi my crew,
Had a good day overall but had moments where I felt like such a traitor at work for considering this other job. Man, weighing the options is so stressful. I have to trust that means I'm comparing two good options. I let my friend know I'm interested but want to do a walkthrough/interview so I can get a sense of the culture and vibe. We'll see where this goes! Anyway, I can feel my emotional stress has taken a toll. I came home and binge ate for dinner-the first in a long time!-and I just feel exhausted. Going to bed (somewhat) early tonight. Night, all!
@pridesabtch You have so much on your plate! Remember to be kind to you and take care of yourself.
@mytime6630 That was my night tonight. I am working to accept that this is part of the process and where I was at tonight. Tomorrow is a new day.

@TerriRichardson112 - Please give me a shamrock for Monday the 24th. Thanks!
@jeschepp - I like your ideas for holding ourselves and each other accountable for bedtime and sleep in March. I'm going to set up some sleep reminders on my phone to remind me to turn off the TV and start winding down an hour before bed. This week, I'll figure out a routine and set clear sleep goals. I'm thinking we can check in with each other each day.5 -

Can you sneak out to a local gym in the morning before everyone is up and about? I find early mornings on vacation to work best for me because i don't feel I'm interfering with family time.teigansdad wrote: »I’m a little anxious about our vacation. Staying w in laws..

JFT Monday
- Go to work
- Protein bar for breakfast
- Find something to do at work... Planned trip to Boston
- Lunch 300 - 400 calories
- Run about with kiddo
- Laundry
- Make some plans for Boston
I made good progress yesterday, but totally blew calories with a late afternoon binge. Boston trip is looking good. Going to the BU / BC Hockey game Saturday night. Sierra races Sunday morning. Going to see Blue Man group Sunday evening. Then Monday we will do the Freedom Trail, the USS Constitution and Quincy Market for some shopping. We fly out Tuesday. I'm excited about the hockey game, it is a huge rivalry and I went to BU my freshman year of college, "Go Terriers!". I think the line up gives the girls a good view of Boston. Plus of course there will be restaurants and such in between. At least one pub along the freedom trail for sure.
Still trying to figure out transportation from the airport to the hotel, this hotel does not offer a shuttle. Not sure if uber or a cab is the way to go. We are travelling with another family, making 7 people total will probably need to go separately. Thoughts?

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.

3) G-PT progress / email request for G-C/V f/u rec'd info < 1 hr, completed audit & submitted for review
4) Leave work on time for 5:00 haircut = funny how a "trim" ends up being so short... anyway hubby always more upset about it & hair grows out
5) Evening: walk dog = walked 3.34 mi 59:53 happy dog & happy me / wash dishes / other? charged headlamp & LED collar, digital decluttering

Hey guys!
I hope everyone is well! Today is rainy and gross outside so it's dark and gloomy. I have had zero motivation to do anything, not that there is much that I can do to begin with. Lol. I should be working on my story but honestly, I've just been lazing around staring at the wall. Although I did put a few books on hold at the library that Mom said she would pick up for me and I took a shower.
I havent been watching what I've been eating at all. I haven't done any major binges and other than the 3/4 of a huge chicken parm sub I ate the other day I've been pretty good about staying under maintenance. At least I feel like I have. I need to start logging again. I don't have ANY shamrocks and I really want to get into the challenge!
My bestie and I made vision boards yesterday. I had a lot of fun doing it! I'll include a picture. It's currently on my living room wall because Matt wanted it there. Lol. I thought he was crazy but I put it there anyway. Lol. And I made an accompanying list of goals that I am going to post on the wall next to it. I think a lot of it is very doable but I also know that a bunch of it is also going to take time and actual discipline to accomplish too. I also wrote a smaller list with first and second steps to those goals that I can start working on in a few weeks, after I've healed up a bit more.
I can tell that this year is going to be amazing for me! I am going to make damn sure that it is! Lol
Okay, so I am going to do like 3 very managable JFT goals for today and see if I can hit them.
JFT, 2/25/20
