My only goal today is to hit my macros and stay strictly keto even though there is a company lunch meeting. Tuesdays are the hardest and I have to remind myself birthday cake in the break room is NOT a reason to spurge. lol5

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of January: 194.6
End of February: 196.2
Today: 196.2
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.
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. Grumpy because the movie that I use with this unit has suddenly been deemed not an effective use of classroom time. I should have just continued to use it based on the prior approvals. :P4 -
Tuesday 3 March
I’m laste posting, I spent the morning helping my mum with her decluttering then returned to my home and decided to get rid of the clothes I’d put to one side for the charity shop a couple of months ago but not taken. My lifestyle has changed and I don’t need lots of smart clothes but I’m not good at letting things go, I have a mentality that says I might need it one day ..... There’s still a lot more to cull but at least I’ve made a start
I’ll be moving house soon so there’s also a lot of household items to sift through. I’m going to try and do a bit each day and take it to the charity shop straight away so that it’s gone and I don’t keep going back through the same things.

Honestly, I just forgot.
- Write 1 chapter
- Sit outside for 15 min. (It's gorgeous out!!)I'm not exactly sure it was 15 minutes but I did walk to the end of my driveway and back which is about 200 yards give or take. That was the first time I was really out of these 4 walls for any length of time!
Good morning everyone! I hope you are all well.
It's been a quiet morning here. Matt had to be to work by 6 am this morning. It's his Tuesday routine. I walked up to the end of the driveway again and it felt great. I have very little pain anymore. I can feel my belly tugging on the glue that's holding the mesh bandage in place. But there wasn't any pain.
I have my first post-op follow up tomorrow morning! I can't wait to see what she says and to see what level of activity I can have back! I really REALLY want to drive! I miss driving! I need to go to the library to pick up a few books I have on hold. And honestly, to just get out of the damn house. Lol.
Mom is going away for 5 days this week/weekend so Dad is taking us out to dinner. He does this every time she goes away. I think he gets lonely sometimes. So Friday I get to have a nice prime rib. I'm going to cut it and my sides in half and ask for a box right away. I'll put it on the seat next to me or something so that it's not staring me in the face. That way I'll have lunch or dinner for Saturday. Lol.
Okay, some simple goals today!

Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks for February.
Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’.

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

@jeschepp - Great job on the sleep challenge! Sounds like you had another busy day planned, but your excitement is contagious. Hope you were able to get your resume and application done 2
-
@HEGoddard0928 - Howdy neighbor! I'm in Monmouth County Hope you get your driving privileges back tomorrow!
@cschmitz110515 - I got a similar arthritis diagnosis about ten years back. Losing weight and staying active definitely help. I also found that stengthening my leg muscles has taken some of the strain off my knees.3 -

Make blackened cod for supper
Do not weigh self
Finish setting up computer.
Admittedly I did not set myself a challenging day. No knee issues, despite walking down the evil hill for what Google Fit calls my morning walk, or as I call it, *kitten* I missed the bus. It's a good way to get 2k steps in before 6:30am. I might make it a habit of walking instead of catching the bus, weather dependent. We shall see. I discovered I cannot eat too many grapes as a snack, I got super sick at work. I will not forget that.

Walk 5k
Stay green

Weigh self if I remember before my muffin (I will allow myself two weigh ins a week if I don't lose my marbles)

@kuhl50 - I like how you handle your cravings.
@bookmeister86 - thanks so much for your insight. I have really fallen off since Friday. I realize it’s only Tuesday but it’s already shaping up to be a busy week!
I will log again tomorrow and get back in the game.

Tuesday Action Plan
1. Up at 5:45 pill, walk, yogax2, pill😁
2. Pack salad lunch, steak+veggies, APPLE+ water bottle😁
3. Declutter for cleaners😁
4. Healthy breakfast at work😁
5. Dinner = roast chicken + broccoli🤨—DH made something else entirely but I stayed in budget
6. Home at Night: Pack salad in a disposable container for the airport. Add dressing at work and leave dressing container in work fridge. 👿😁—DD used up my salad making one for dinner. Can’t be too mad about that.
7. Pack for trip. Include oatmeal, protein powder, protein bars, 😁(2 apples and 2 oranges🤨—rethinking this plan )and vitamins😁
8. Upstairs by 9, 😁journal, 😁lights out 9:30👿
So today was the kind of day that would normally send me into a binge. The kind of day where I had to hold back tears for 3 hours and then cry in my car after being told I work too hard and that’s part of why I received a pretty average rating for the year. Far more to it than that but felt so unfair that I couldn’t even hear the good things I know the boss was saying. I never expected this from him, I thought we had a great working relationship (and friendship) and was just blindsided by his comments. Let’s just say this annual review was the exact opposite of motivating. And now I get to go spend 3 days on a work trip doing a planning session with him and others and pretend these comments haven’t completely hit me in the ego. 😣. At least I’ve stayed on track. And one of my Accountability partners is my travel buddy for the trip, so that should help keep me focused.
Tomorrow...

Hi all,
This will be a short one as I JUST finished the job application woo hoo! I am so glad. I had a late day at work but vowed to sacrifice my sleep challenge (sorry @beachwalker99 !) to fully complete this application. Step 1: update 7 year old resume. Step 2: halfway through find updated resume from 2016 grrr Step 3: overanalyze everything but get the resume done and attached anyway. Step 4: realize the next step is to create a dreaded cover letter. Rinse and repeat. No wonder I never leave jobs lol
@TerriRichardson112 please add a shamrock for today (3)
@beachwalker99 Hope you had a restful sleep!

Had impromptu pub trip yesterday to celebrate the launch of a new pilot at work. Meant I didn't end in the green as planned but I did stay within maintenance (even though I was super hungry on the way home and wanted to snack!). I also didn't do the majority of things on my list so they will have to roll over to today.
I did my weekly weigh in this morning and I've lost a little compared to last week. I seem to be fluctuating within a range but looking at the numbers suggests overall the trend might be slightly downwards. Next week will show whether that's true!
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 45+ min lunch break
- Read article at lunch
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotionsDidn't really have time
- Positive affirmations
- Finish by 6pm
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- French book
- Order godson present
- Book train ticket
- Make March resolutions
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11

Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks for February.
Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’.

Super busy day yesterday. I got almost everything done, but couldn’t fit in a walk and went a little over my calorie goal. Still technically a deficit, but not at goal. I had so much running around to do yesterday evening. Each kid had to be dropped off/picked up multiple times and they had to eat their taco dinner in the car....I succumbed to a bag of tortilla chips, which put me over.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of January: 194.6
End of February: 196.2
Today: 195.6
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.
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 am REALLY tired. And I'm having to juggle my lessons around and I'm not happy about it.4 -

Hi all! Yesterday went well, it felt good (and sucked at the same time 😂😂) to work out again. I took "before" pictures like I did last year and that was a bit of a reality check as I now look the same as my before a year ago! I managed to make a pretty big difference last year over the course of 8 weeks so I know I can do this!
Yesterday 3/3:
1. Log all food😁
2. Stay within calorie goal😁
3. Go for walk😁
4. Finish work at 5:20😔
5. Do workout😁
JFT 3/4:

7. 6 hrs sleep2 -
Back from Boston and totally not wanting to rejoin the grind that is real life. I almost skipped out on work today, but instead came in a bit late.
My weight and health are way out of control. I haven't been this big since I was pregnant with my second child and I haven't been this out of shape since the mid 90s. None of my kit fits and I care, I am just not making the changes. Well, I have made changes, but they have all been negative. I am in a place I swore I'd never be in again and so overwhelmed, ashamed and embarrassed. Even my husband who is uber supportive and still somehow attracted to me is concerned about my weight because of the physical and mental impact it has on me. Maybe I need a deadline... Back into my kit and on the bike by Mother's Day.
JFT Wednesday
- Eat within maintenance which is unfortunately only about 1600 calories
- Do at least 200 calories worth of activity even if it's only walking for now
- Daily grind: work, carting kids about, laundry, etc...
@HEGoddard0928 So proud of you for working on your story and hitting the novel milestone! Go you! I hope your follow up goes well and you can get out of the house a bit.
@ZizzyBumble Many prayers for you and your family. I can't imagine the stress involved in your journey.
@Faebert so glad to see you, and even more excited to hear you are back to pounding the pavement. Take care of you!
@Kuhl50 I like your thoughts on cravings and rewiring your brain. I agree, I just need to remember it.

@beachwalker99 Thanks for the insights. My (younger) sister, who is super-fit & never overweight, has had rheumatoid arthritis for a few years, and her advice to me was keep moving. She doesn't let anything slow her down. That's what I plan to do. And work on my leg strength.
@Kuhl50 What a disappointment for you at work. (((Hugs)))

@clicketykeys I'm not surprised you're tired with everything you've got going on. Hoping you find some relief soon. (((Hugs)))

I’m very tired, I’ve spent the day decluttering my parents loft space (with my brother and his wife). My mum asked us to deal with her clothes and craft supplies/fabrics that she’d put in store as well as camping equipment they will never use again. My father gets the medal for hoarding the largest number of cardboard boxes and polythene. We have had to deal with that in order to find my mum’s things! Another day ahead of us tomorrow and a whole lot more to deal with. Trying hard to keep dad alongside so that he lets us get rid of more of his rubbish. He’s got so much wood up there I don’t like to think what would happen if they had a fire. If I’m not exhausted when I get home later this week, I will be motivated to get on with my own decluttering! 😊
@TerriRichardson112 please can I have my shamrock for today. Thank you
@pridesabtch Thank you, things are not easy at the moment.3
