    @cschmitz110515 -- bummer here as well, doc said I've lost an inch :/

    @AJB1014 -- no more online shopping??? soooooo painful!! at least, for me LOL

    @TerriRichardson112 -- congrats on maintaining this month!

    @teigansdad -- you said "once I start can't seem to stop". Perhaps you could develop a mini plan for temptations? 1) remove or limit temptations; maybe only keep one beer in the house or one single packet of M&Ms? 2) divert your focus ... when temptation rears it's head, go to kitchen, drink 2 glasses of water, and do a short chore, or 10 planks, or fix something ... something to get your mind away from what is tempting you. If your temptation is in the kitchen, go to bathroom to get your water and do your chore/etc in a different room.

    @SERmom3 -- To increase activity level, could you listen to a book instead of read it? If so, you could listen while stretching, gardening, doing yoga, etc.

    @aubyshortcake -- don't you just hate blue moods!! Put on some Queen really loud, Bohemian Rhapsody, and do jumping jacks, or go outside if the sun is shining and skip (yes, skip) to the end of the block and back. Doing something fun or silly can help, being in the sunshine can help. One thing that works for me is to watch a few comedy vids on YouTube ... favorites are Jeanne Robertson and Bill Engvall

    Online shopping is a neccesity right now, im just trying to limit it because its taking over my days in an unhealthy way :/ its also a lifeline so definitely a conundrum!

    I hear that!! I've been in full lockdown (72, compromised lungs, etc) since 2nd week in March. Online shopping is one of my very few pleasures. Mostly, I just order food to be delivered from Walmart. But occasionally order something fun. I needed new cushions for my outdoor glider and chairs and not able to get locally. Happily spent a lot of time searching, evaluating, etc and finally buying. But since I live on a fixed income, I too have to be prudent and not let it become a problem. :)

    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: 194.4

    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?

    @cesse47 - I appreciate the idea. I do use audio books and I’m a podcast junkie, but I have a few paperbacks I got from the library before the lockdown I’m trying to finish. My biggest “issue” is homeschooling. It’s like transitioning to a desk job. Yesterday I sat for hours making worksheets and organizing the emails/computer activities for the kids. I’m not used to that. I used to be on my feet all day. I never sat down!

    MONDAY:
    - Homeschool🟢
    - Log everything 🟢/ Stay green🔴
    - Exercise (lifting routine)🔴
    - Normal chores🟢
    - Pick something to organize🔴
    - Prep May budget🔴
    - Complete product reviews🔴
    - B’s teacher project🔴

    I didn’t get much of my list accomplished, but I did a lot for the girls and went grocery shopping which is always an event these days!

    JFT TUESDAY:
    - Homeschool
    - Log everything/Stay green
    - Exercise (lifting & cardio) today
    - 3 teacher appreciation videos
    - B teacher meeting
    - E virtual dance
    - Either organize something or complete product reviews.

    SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE
    To earn a flower, I must:
    1) Log everything 2) Stay green 3) Exercise

    I applaude you for all you are doing. It must be a real challenge being in lockdown with little ones ... not only keeping them busy and entertained, but also doing all the homeschooling and all it entails. Plus, they must have their own insecurities and fears about this scary situation. BRAVA MOM!! 🌺🌸🌼 -- you deserve a bouquet.

    I applaude you for all you are doing. It must be a real challenge being in lockdown with little ones ... not only keeping them busy and entertained, but also doing all the homeschooling and all it entails. Plus, they must have their own insecurities and fears about this scary situation. BRAVA MOM!! 🌺🌸🌼 -- you deserve a bouquet.

    @cesse47-You are very sweet! Thank you!😊

    TUESDAY:
    - Homeschool🟢
    - Log everything/Stay green🟢🟢
    - Exercise (lifting & cardio) today🟢🟢
    - 3 teacher appreciation videos🔴
    - B teacher meeting🟢
    - E virtual dance🟢
    - Either organize something or complete product reviews.🟢 (organized food and prepped multiple dishes)

    Good day yesterday. My mom stopped by to pick up the groceries I got for her. She lives alone and is having a hard time with the quarantine. I’m glad she stopped over and got to see the kids.

    I’ve skimmed and caught up yet again.
    I saw 200 on the scale this past weekend, I swore I would never go there again. I have gained 10lbs just in April. So yesterday and today I have been drinking water at work, took my lunch both days and although I wasn’t in the green I wasn’t 1000 calories in the red.

    I am going to log the rest of this week and next week start posting goals again. I need to make some changes in my routines and want to make this sustainable again.

    Miss you all and I need to get back to what helps me and this group does it.

    Right there with ya Gal!! Actually went to the grocery store yesterday for the first time in 6 weeks (we have been having it delivered). Came home with double what I needed and couldn't keep my fingers out of it the rest of the day. Dang it!! So now until weigh-in Saturday I need to be hyper-vigilant about food so I don't completely blow all the good work I've done this past month. Really disappointed myself ... OK ... need to shake it off and get back to business (and remember to keep having groceries delivered for my own well-being)!!

    I think resetting your goals to start the month is a great idea. As is coming here before you go to work to update your goal for the day ... maybe that will help you "set" the tone for the day. You Can Do This!! :)
