    Scale goals
    End 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: 197.6

    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. Practice finished up earlier than anticipated last night (though still not early). But at least I was able to get six hours of sleep. I'm feeling better today than I thought I would - more hopeful about making it through the week!

    Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks.

    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’. You decide your own calorie goal.

    Can anyone join this I know it's not January but I'm starting over again and this looks like a great reason to log on every day

    My goals to start is just logging everything even if im over limit. I get discouraged quickly so that is alot for me. I need to up my water intake I swear im always dehydrated. Me and my partner are working getting a gym membership. Other goals are to keep up on dishes ... Dose anyone else have that issue.

    Always looking for more friends feel free to add me. Sorry if i intruded but I'm done now. Have a great day.

    I think your plan is a great one! It's actually how I usually approach my weightloss goals. I just log whatever even if it's over, because then I can look back and see where I'm actually going wrong and what I need to work on :)

    @Bex953172 - Biscuits and gravy...kind of like fish fingers and custard ;)

    But seriously, homemade from scratch biscuits and gravy can actually be pretty good. My mother-in-law made the best biscuits! So light and flaky that even a Yankee like me would eat them. The gravy is made by frying up a bunch of breakfast sausage (preferably a little spicy) and making a white pan gravy from the drippings. I learned to make them for my husband who grew up south of the Mason-Dixon line. (It's mainly a Southern thing.) Not pretty, and definitely not low calorie! I only make them a couple of times a year. The biscuits are a pain and never as good as my MIL's, but it's worth the smile I get from my DH.

    Lmfao see if you asked for biscuits and gravy over here you'd probably end up getting what you call "cookies" and the kind of been gravy you could put on a roast dinner lmao!!

    @kathsk53 - what part of Canada are you in?
    I’m also in Canada.

    I agree in biscuits and gravy not being good, I do know what it is though I have travelled in the States a bit.

    @Bex953172 - I was 18 when I moved to Toronto from small town New Brunswick. I only had three stations on tv growing up and really didn’t know a lot about the world. Anyway, one of my bosses when I started working was from England. She calls me and asks me to “knock her up in the morning”. I didn’t know what to make of it. In my teenage mind, knock her up meant her her pregnant. Lol

    Went and had my eyes tested tonight, it’s been about 2 years since I had them tested last time, about the time that I started on this board.

    Anyway my wonderful new benefits makes glasses so affordable! I ordered a pair and should have them in a couple weeks.

    Sorry I can’t find time to respond to everyone, I am reading religiously though.

    Haha how weird! I immediately thought pregnant but I Ann aware of that saying but I'm wondering if that's more of a southern thing. Ones I'm sure I've heard round up north are "hit me up" and "give me a buzz " haha

    I was speaking to someone recently and he just couldn't understand the whole tea thing over here.

    @HEGoddard0928 Also reading books on habits "Atomic Habits" by James Clear & "Tiny Habits" BJ Fogg - sounds like similiar thinking but I want to start following thru on good intentions that fizzle before the day ends. I'll lay in bed thinking a, b, c and completely do the opposite.

    @cory17 I find it really really interesting. And the awesome thing about my mini habits is that they take all of about 5 minutes. They're so easy to do but they can also be the spark I need to go beyond just the small thing and do more.

    Good afternoon everyone!

    So I just read this book called Mini Habits for Weight Loss by Stephen Guise. I pretty much devoured it. It's all about setting really easy goals that can turn into habits that you can build off of. The point of the easy goals are to be something that takes almost no effort to do but can jump start you into doing "bonus reps" or more than just that simple goal. As one of my mini habits is to walk to the end of my personal driveway. But if I decide to walk farther then that Woohoo! But it's not required. It's just super easy. Another is to eat an extra serving of fruit. So if I decide to maybe have some carrots later in the afternoon than Woohoo. But if I only eat the fruit than I've still hit my goal. The premise of it is to be able to meet these goals on your worst possible day.


    I will have to also check this book ... thank you for the idea. I did a "study" with BJ Fogg last year ... where they had you do one small, tiny habit, but do it at the same time you do a regular, established habit. Mine was drinking water after I brush my teeth .. or taking my vitamin after brushing teeth. It works doing it that way!

    Do you know when she's back from snowboarding? :)

    I think she's on vacation all this week. Pretty sure she's not snowboarding. A snowbird is a northerner spending time in a southern, warmer area during winter. :D

    LMFAO!!!!!

    I thought it was a typo for snowboarding
    I'm laughing like an idiot now haha needed a good laugh! Lol



    OMG! This is awesome! Hahaha! @Bex953172 do you see why I miss you so much? I’m actually in Arizona escaping the snow, although it’s been only in the 60’s and raining almost the whole week! But we are having a great time!

    I met my niece and nephew for the first time yesterday! My sister (half sister...same dad) lives in Alaska and her family is here now too. Has been so great to see them!

    I’m trying to read and catch up but not keeping strict track since it’s my vacation. 😊

    @mytime6630 How is your husband doing on the hormone therapy? I feel for him. It’s not fun. I’m glad the percentage is so much better! Sending you hugs

    Yesterday was a decent day actually. I had a mix between meetings and desk time so was actually able to get some work done. And my meetings were good ones so I left feeling positive. I didn't manage to stick to my plan at dinner - I got a higher calorie option than planned. But I stuck to my plan in all other respects so I ended up in maintenance. That's my only eating out occasion this week so actually I am fine with that (need to actually hit green on some other days though!)

    Yesterday's goals:

    - Track all food and drink :)
    - Be in the green >:)
    - Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home :smile:

    - 30+ min lunch break :smile:
    - Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions :neutral:Forgot, but didn't really need to
    - Positive affirmations Also forgot

    - Finish by 6pm :smile:
    - Walk to pub >:)I decided just to get there quickly so took the tube (avoiding touching anything whilst on it...)
    - Train home by 10 :smile:


    Today's goals:

    - Track all food and drink
    - Be in the green
    - Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home

    - Walk to meeting
    - Positive affirmations

    - Finish work at 7pm
    - Talk to boyfriend in French
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights off by 11

    WEDNESDAY:
    - Track every bite🔴
    - Stay green🔴
    - Sing for a funeral🟢
    - Exercise🔴
    - Dishes🟢
    - Laundry🔴
    - Rehearsal tonight🟢

    Yesterday was a mixed bag. I got called in to sub after the funeral and then had to shuttle kids around after school. Not much time to get a lot done. But at least the funeral went really well. I was nervous, but I don’t think it effected my voice.


    JFT THURSDAY:
    - Track every bite
    - Stay green
    - Sing for a funeral
    - Substitute for the gym teacher in afternoon
    - Exercise
    - Dishes
    - Laundry

    Things are getting pretty real here too. School is still in session, but they’ve just cancelled all activities until April vacation. Kids are so disappointed that field trips are cancelled and even the plays at the middle school and high school. I can’t imagine all that effort and not being able to perform in the end. ☹️

    My husband and I were supposed to go away for a few days in April, but we just decided to cancel it. It’s too risky right now. Hopefully we can reschedule later this year.

    Stay healthy everyone!

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. And we went late last night, though it was somewhat expected. Not sure how I'll do with my run today. Might end up inside if the forecast changes again.

    Wednesday goals ✅
    Thursday goals
    # smart dinner
    # 500 cal in green after exercise
    # sufferfest
    # p90
    # 13 pull-ups

    Looking at last few days I really struggle w dinner time meals...as long as I am working out at night it doesn’t bother me so much but it certainly doesn’t seem that that’s the right time to have my heaviest caloric load on rest days...
    The issue is that I am usually pretty hungry at dinner time and eat pretty fast. I have read all the tricks but once my “ feed frenzy” kicks in I have a hard time regulating it.
    Think the answer needs to be better, less stick to the rib type dinners and more clean options.
    What do you guys use for recipes?
    The web site is ok but a little limited.. even in the forum section.
    Preferably would like to find a site that also includes the caloric values of the meal.

    It was a struggle (I am NOT a morning person) but got up early-ish to work out before work ~ yay! Would've walked dog with LED gear, but not sure if yesterday's rain & melted snow froze on pavement overnight, and hard for me to tell before sunrise. Really looking forward to re-establishing dog walks & workouts before work, then evenings after work can be anything I want.

    @teigansdad I use recipes from multiple sources: family recipes that I enter into Recipes (under Food) in MFP for nutritional info, cookbooks & Internet. One of my favorite books is Guilt Free Cooking by Taste of Home which has nutrition for every recipe. You can also import recipes into MFP from the Internet which then gives you the nutrition.

    @PackerFanInGB Glad you saw that exchange about snowbird vs. snowboard. I thought it was hilarious! V happy you are enjoying your vacay!
