    Tried to shop, but shops sold out of most staples, no pasta no rice no long life milk no eggs. This is getting very silly, hope they can restock soon.

    Same here, they didn't have nappies yesterday. I begged the woman to check the stock room and she found 3 packs left! So we just bought 2 of them!
    So now I am panicking more than normal because nappies are an absolute essential in our house lmao, they prioritise over everything haha

    Take precautions, Take care of yourselves, and your families. Forgive quickly and as often as needed. Let go of grudges, and things that don't matter. Regain FOCUS!

    How weird, our Dettol products claim to kill coronavirus but it was highlighted that even though it says it's kills the virus it's actually not true?
    I thought maybe COVID-19 was a "new" strain so therefore resistant

    Saturday went about as I expected long day at work. Late dinner and no time too workout.
    Thanks To some stress eating a bowl of m&ms I was barely green and that’s assuming I calculated correctly. I’m calling it a bust because 1 ate so late and don’t like to eat anything after 7 and 2. M&ms ...bad choice on a day I also wasn’t working out

    Sunday goals
    Stay green
    Doubt I’ll get a chance to work out but if so shoot for 500 calorie net neg
    No m&ms
    No booze or beer

    JFT SUNDAY:
    - Dishes
    - Catch up on laundry
    - Make a school plan for the kids
    - Practice some music
    - Read
    - Log every bite
    - Exercise

    I went to the grocery store right after it opened this morning. I just needed a few things and toilet paper. It was busy, but I got in and out pretty quickly. Yesterday my husband and I organized the food stock and got it off the basement floor. We’ve got a history of water in there in the spring. I feel better knowing I have everything in order as much as possible. Bet of luck to everyone as we navigate this new normal.

    2. Grading: Research essays, classwork. Finish book and update Goodreads.
    3. Bike shopping.
    4. Rock City.
    5. Run - aiming for 8 miles.
    6. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water!
    7. Read. Update Goodreads. Yoga with core/balance work. Email B. Email student. Message Z.
    8. Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth.

Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Monday - Vocab Week 4. Challenge book 2 discussion Friday; update due Monday. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    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. Bike shop opens at 1. I think after that, Rock City, and then my long run. That means grinding through my grading this morning.

    Coronaviruses are a type of virus. That's why the medical community dubbed this corona virus as Covid 19.

    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.

    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!!!
    • Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise

    Late joining the game as it’s already March, but as this thread has shown, each new day is a chance to start over. This morning I found myself to be the heaviest I’ve ever been. My work uniform barely fits anymore. I just feel overall unhealthy and I need to make changes.

    Goals for 2020:
    - Lose the 31.6lbs to reach my goal weight.
    - Finish my master’s degree (set to be done in August 🤞🏼🎓).
    - Pass my CNL exam post-graduation.
    - Afford and book the cruise we’ve been talking about for years.
    - Get back into routine yoga/meditation.
    - Complete a half marathon.

    I would LOVE to have motivational friends on here; please feel free to send me a friend request!! Every time I lose my way I look through my feed and get re-energized.

    Welcome! You will find tons of support on this thread!

    I did nothing productive today. Unfortunately for me, one of my chronic health troubles is having a flare and I've been in bed. I might finally have gotten it under control with medication and heat so I quickly made dinner and now I'm back in bed for the night.

    Log food
    Stay green
    Keep on top of flare
    Go to work
    Maybe weights

    Hello squad,

    Yesterday I went over to my bestie's for her birthday dinner. I was on the fence as I have been social distancing as much as I can, but I decided to go. It was a small gathering (6 of us) and we took all the safety precautions. I am so glad I went. We had pizza and cake and played games and it was a joy. I didn't realize how much I needed that. We did talk a bit about what has been going on with COVID, but it was with a mix of lighthearted topics too. I ended up getting home after midnight, so no posting. Somehow I managed to stay within the green yesterday. Today...I did some emotional eating and got Culver's. I didn't do much today, but I also think I needed a rest day. My interview Wednesday is now a Skype interview (do people still use that?) so I have been reviewing interview questions, and I feel really prepared. I really need to tidy my place as I have been slacking, but that will be for another day. Night all, love you all, stay safe out there!

    @terririchard Shamrock me for yesterday (14) please!
    @beachwalker99 What a relief! So glad your student tested negative. Nice work continuing to stay motivated and organized. Send some motivation my way, I have a dish pile that needs addressing :)
    @maryrobinson40 Thank you Wise Mary!

    JFT M
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    2) Net calories green / 14c water
    3) Walk dog after work
    4) Something on to-do list in evening
    5) Unplug 9 / floss / retainers / bed & no tv 10

    I usually consider myself a normal, rational person, but news is really start to wear on me, and I actually stopped watching (not easy for me). The constant updates were freaking me out at times, and I want to get a grip. Found out Friday the veterinary school in my state, where my niece is a first year student, has an employee who tested positive for Covid-19 ~ that person had traveled to an area now known to be infected. My niece is fine, and home with my other nieces, since our governor has closed all schools until April 6. My church has canceled all non-worship meetings, and asks that people attend less full services. My manager is looking into options for work-from-home, but we're really not set up for that, since much of what we do is related to services. I hope it doesn't come to that but understand if it does.

    Otherwise the weekend was good. My food log was green on Fri. and Sat. but I didn't log on Sunday. Hubby and I patronized a small, local business Sat. impacted by the cancellation of the fundraiser I had planned to attend that night. Sunday a.m. I sang with choir at services with fewer attendees, good for my soul. Hubby and I then patronized a small, local restaurant that has had loss of business. Sun. afternoon we finally delivered our tax docs to our preparer (friend and former colleague of mine) so we had a nice catch-up visit, good for my psyche. Fri., Sat. and Sun. I took long dog walks (3.4, 4.17 and 4.66 miles, respectively) so very happy dog. I'm back to cooking good, healthy meals. Doing what I can...

    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" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI

    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.
