    The 500 in the green has not been easy as of late. I don’t know why but my guess is that the makers of M&Ms must lace those bad boys in crack.

    I can’t just eat one handful.

    Anyway ideas for low calorie, high volume chocolate treats would be appreciated. Seems I crave that late.y.


    This is hilarious! :mrgreen: And I have to agree that you might be onto something! I cannot just eat a handful of them either. No ideas for low cal high volume chocolate treats off top of my head, but I'll let you know if I think of some. Chocolate is my downfall too!

    Drink at least 8 water
    Do 2 5 min walks -- try for 3
    Do 30 min Chair Yoga

    I decided to let Friday be a rest/ slack day. Turns out pizza is in fact a gate way drug...
    Blew my caloric goal all to he🏒🏒
    Also skipped workout...
    But had a very nice evening just hanging w wife and daughter so was worth it. Plus I skipped beer with the pizza which seems like that should be worth something.

    Saturday goals... find a rhythm... feel like I’ve been a little off since vacation.
    Stay green.
    No beer or booze after work
    Sufferfest workout after dinner
    No M&Ms .... even if I have to eat 3 lbs of carrots to avoid them..

    Woke up to snow this morning! 😱 It’s still coming down. Enough to cover the grass, but not sticking to the pavement. I know it will be gone by tomorrow, but it’s April! 🥶

    FRIDAY:
    - Log everything🟢
    - Stay green🟢
    - Exercise🟢
    - Homeschool🟢
    - Laundry/Dishes🟢
    - Home project🟢

    Yesterday I did my lifting routine and followed it up by a very slow walk just to burn some extra calories. My dinner was high calorie, so I’m glad I made the extra effort to walk. It helped me stay green!

    JFT SATURDAY:
    - workout via zoom with sister in law (she’s a personal trainer and offered a session with a few family members. I’m curious to see what it’s like!
    - Laundry/dishes
    - Change sheets
    - Pick up the house/ clean bathroom
    - Log every bite
    - Stay green

    SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE
    I will only earn a flower if I do 3 things: log everything, stay green and exercise.
    April 15,16,17

    Be well! 💕

    Am sorry to hear WI extended their Safe At Home program to end of May. That will probably mean that Michigan will do so as well. Bummer!! MI Governor had press conference yesterday. It sounds like she will begin opening our state back up on May 1 or so. Yea!! I'm sure it will be a slow process. But sure look forward to the ability to go out a bit.

    Hope Y'all have a great day!! ❤

    3. Answer student emails. FINISH God of Small Things.
    4. Lunch: soup. Yoga with core/balance work. 15 minutes looking for senior photos!
    5. Write and publish a blog post.
    6. PM run - 10 miles. Color! Fold laundry.
    7. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water!
    8. Update Goodreads. Message Z.
    9. Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth. Next week: Tuesday, go to school and pack classroom. Thursday: NewsELA and USATestPrep. The FOLLOWING Thursday introduce Galileo. Find ER bill and call for itemized list of charges.

    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
    End of March: 193.8
    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 bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Google Hangout.
    12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? 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. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    WFTY: Progress. Bummed to see the numbers going up on the scale. I thought they'd be down today. Usually I have a good idea of what to expect, and so it's unsettling when I get something different. Even if it's a loss, I like to know WHY it happened, you know?

    Plus the weather's supposed to be better today than tomorrow, so I'm trying to psych myself up for a long run today. TEN MILES. Jeez.

    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
    UG maintain: 145 - 150 (need to be realistic)

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:

    07/22 = 175.0
    07/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02/17 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:

    The 500 in the green has not been easy as of late. I don’t know why but my guess is that the makers of M&Ms must lace those bad boys in crack.

    I can’t just eat one handful.

    Anyway ideas for low calorie, high volume chocolate treats would be appreciated. Seems I crave that late.y.

    The person who discovers these will become a multimillionaire!!! 😂

    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
    End of March: 193.8
    Today: 195.6

    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 bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Google Hangout.
    12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? 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. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    WFTY: Progress. And it's supposed to rain all day. Don't know if I'll get a walk in or any gardening done.

    Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well/ as well as possible at the moment.

    I've been checking in occasionally - like to know what's going on - but haven't really got round to posting. Previously I posted in the morning on my commute, but I don't have that at the moment and I've struggled to find a similar slot to make time for posting. I also haven't really felt like setting myself goals - I've been trying to take things easier and just relax a bit.

    But I'm now starting to feel like posting small achievable goals might be good for me, if I can find the time and space to do so! I'm going to try and see if I can fit in a quick post in the morning over coffee before I start work. I'll have to get myself out of bed earlier to do so, but hopefully I will be able to find the motivation/ discipline to do that!

    Overall I am doing ok. Me and the boyfriend are now working from home all the time (well actually it's just me working at the moment, he was forced to take two weeks' annual leave, but he will be back working soon). We're starting to adapt to this new normal, I think. We're doing LOTS of exercise - making the most of being able to get out of the house and exercise once a day - and obviously we aren't eating out now so at the start of the lock-down I actually lost a few pounds. The amount of junk food we're eating has started to creep up though, so haven't lost any more. At the moment I'm happy with maintaining, maybe losing very slowly. Let's face it, life is difficult enough without depriving yourself of tasty food :smile:

    In many ways we are quite enjoying the lockdown. The lack of commute is pretty amazing and means we have time to exercise everyday. We're exercising in nice green spaces and it has been a wonderful time of year to do that. We're watching the changing of the seasons in a way I don't think I have ever done so closely before. I can now tell you that daffodils bloom (this year anyway) at the end of March/ start of April and bluebells for the first few weeks in April! It is also quite nice to have a bit of downtime to just chill out and read, and catch up with friends and family via phone or Zoom. I've had quite a few catch-ups with friends/ family that actually I would never have had in 'normal' times and that's really nice.

    Obviously I do have up days and down days (and today is an up day hence this post is more positive!). My job is grinding me down a bit - can't believe I'm still doing it after trying to get out of it for years. I'm hoping to hear some good news on that front shortly - will keep you posted. And obviously the whole situation is anxiety-inducing. I'm not as anxious as I was initially (when I was really quite anxious) because most of my friends/ family are taking care of themselves (full social distancing) so hopefully that means they will all be ok. We were a bit concerned about the boyfriend's dad as he is a GP and there were some suggestions being made that he might have to start regularly treating covid patients. He's in his late sixties and while he's not got any health conditions obviously that was a bit of a worry. But thankfully he hasn't actually been asked to do that yet so for now we don't have to worry about him too much. (Not more than the regular amount of worrying, anyway!)

    Anyway, that's the update from me. I hope everyone else is doing ok and that we all reach better times soon. A couple of individual comments:
    @mytime6630 - You and your hubby are often in my thoughts and prayers. I'm really glad that his treatment is progressing and I hope he responds well to it. I'm full of admiration for how you've been keeping yourself busy with all the masks. You are such a strong person - I hope that when I have challenges to face in future, I react to them as you do
    @Snowflake1968 I don't think I've seen many posts from you lately - though I might have missed them - but wanted to say I'm thinking of you often as well. It must be very difficult working in the environment you are in. Are you still having to go into work? Either way, thinking of you and hoping that you are taking care of yourself.

    Love to all, and hopefully I'll get myself motivated to post a bit more regularly from now on :smile: xx

    @bookmeister86 Hello again! Happy to see you post, and glad today is more positive. I feel the same way with the ups and downs from day to day, heck moment to moment at times. But I've been posting JFT nearly every day, just because I can control that one thing. It helps me feels more "normal". Great for you and BF exercising every day!

    @Snowflake1968 I too have been thinking of you, and wondering how you and Rodg are doing. Virtual hugs.

    Recap Sat. 4/18
    1) Move hourly (pace if have to) / 5 somethings = Fitbit 5,068 steps, 250+ 11/14 & 19 floors :neutral: see #5
    2) Maybe order dinner from local restaurant? / net calories green / 14c water = Ordered dinner from local (non-chain) restaurant, trying to help support any local business we can in our small way. That & no exercise calories led to net cals -437 and don't care! :p Sodium -948, sugar -14, fiber & protein excellent (of course when I overeat) & 10c water
    3) Grocery shop :) keeping trips to every 10-14 days, hubby & dog waited in car, aisles now marked for "one way"
    4) Tie blue ribbons around front trees :)
    5) Walk dog Very windy, already worked out 5 days in week so took rest day. :p Dog got to ride along to grocery store, and later for dinner pick-up so happy dog. :)
    6) Enjoy time with hubby :smiley:<3 Strange feeling having only hubby for personal contact day after day. Not that I'm complaining (most of the time ;) )
    7) Floss / retainers :s:s so lazy about this at times!

    JFT Sunday 4/19
    1) Move hourly (pace if have to) / 5 somethings

    5) Walk dog

    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of January: 194.6
    End of February: 196.2
    End of March: 193.8
    Today: 195.6

    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 bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Google Hangout.
    12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? 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. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    WFTY: Progress. So not only did it rain, but I had trouble sleeping last night so today has been SUCH a struggle. No gardening. Folded only a little laundry. I'm ready for bed but I'm going to try to make it another half hour.

    @Snowflake1968 so sorry to hear you are struggling. And that you have a “backseat boss” controlling you from afar! I know you and your colleagues are doing all you can to keep those vulnerable folks safe—thank you.

    @bookmeister86 Congrats on getting in lots of exercise! That’s a great bonus to fit into this otherwise stressful and strange time. I’m hoping the job news is good and comes soon.

    @TerriRichardson112 I just need to let you know how inspired I always am by your posts. Your gratitude, your artwork, and your positive spirit are always so wonderful to see.

    I hope everyone has a great week!
