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’

Yesterday hubby texted he was exposed to viral pneumonia at work. He's got an iron constitution, so I'm not too worried. He'll sleep in guest room for few nights. Good thing we work different hours, and only see each other (on weekdays) on my lunch breaks . Was going to miss seeing him today anyway, due to hike. Sad me.

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: 193.5
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 have had to change my lesson plans so many times this week. It's incredibly stressful. The internet has been down almost every day due to the tornadoes in Nashville so I can't enter grades which means I can't return work.
Thanks, @Snowflake1968. I think most of them know that I care. I hope they do.4 -

I wish I’d taken before and after photos of my parents loft. The change is amazing but I’m so tired! There’s more to do tomorrow but we’re nearly there. All good food intentions went astray this evening as I went for the easy option of pizza and salad but I only had 2 slices and lots of salad so managed to stay in the green even with the large glass of wine 😊

Yesterday didnt go quite as planned. Went to a work event where lunch was provided. I'd assumed it was just going to be sandwiches and pre logged a sensible portion. But then it was not sandwiches, it was tasty hot foot and brownies! I adapted by taking a moderate portion and doing my best to track it. Assuming I tracked ok, I stayed in maintenance.
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be within 200 of green Due to lunch
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- Positive affirmations
- Finish work by 7pm
- Talk to boyfriend in French Tired
- French book Tired
- Quality time: date night rules (no phones)
- Laundry
- Packing
- Food shop
- Gratitude journal Forgot
- Lights off by 11
Today we are going away for weekend 3/3 away. Staying on track will be tough. Quite a lot of eating out is planned and when we eat in I think it might be quite calorie rich based on previous experience. I will do my best to stay in maintenance and will track it all regardless!
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be within maintenance
- 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 emotions
- Positive affirmations
- Finish by 5pm
- March resolutions
Happy Friday everyone!6 -
