    JFT Goals for Saturday, May 16, 2020

    Log everything; Be mindful of everything I eat - try for lower carb/sodium choices; drink 8+ water
    Do 30 min Chair Yoga
    Do stretching video in full
    Work 15 min on Dining Room ceiling light -- blades in progress
    Dining Room -- declutter, sweep floor, vacuum, mop floor -- work in 15 min chunks - still decluttering

    The Plan: Do stretches. work in Dining Room. Do yoga. work in Dining Room. Do meal prep for lunch & dinner; do dishes. Do 5 min walking program. work in Dining Room. Play on computer for a bit ... do 15 minute chore (DR - ceiling fan/light) ... repeat.

    Had a 4 lb gain after my indulgences last weekend. Thought I'd have it off by today but NOPE ... still have a bit hanging on!! So, need to make very careful food choices, exercise a bit more, and drink a lot more water so I will, hopefully, kick it before weigh-in next Saturday.

    Supposed to be partly sunny and in the 60's today in Michigan ... YEA!! ... so hope to get outside to plant my trilliams in my little patch of them. If it's warm enough, maybe I'll have lunch outside.

    Hope Y'all have a fun weekend!! 😊

    @Snowflake1968 Teaching online is a challenge - but so is teaching in a classroom. Just a challenge of a different sort. I haven't done any instruction through Facetime or Zoom or anything like that, though we use Zoom for our meetings.

    Language arts isn't TOO hard to do online, because a lot of it is reading and writing, and students can do that online. I'm glad I'd had them do several presentations already, though, because presenting to a camera is VERY different from presenting to a live audience. And then of course group discussions are very different online; they're less dynamic.

    JFT F 5/15
    1) Move hourly / REMEMBER 5 somethings / stairs breaks from basement to 2nd floor
    2) Not sure about meals / net calories green / 14c water
    3) Walk dog & log virtual race miles
    4) Wash hubby's work clothes & hang outside / wash dishes :smiley: / refill bird baths / set up rain barrels (in time for tomorrow's rainy day)
    5) Enjoy time with hubby
    6) Floss / retainers

    My state (WI) was in chaos for two days: the state Supreme Court overturned Gov's safer at home extension order, then counties & cities issued their own orders. Now those orders are mostly rescinded, since legal counselors advise they won't stand up to a legal challenge. I just wish all the partisanship would end, and people would do what's right for everyone health-wise. My employer (a sovereign nation) affirmed yesterday their Safer at Home Declaration remains in effect until June 11. Businesses are starting to reopen, but I'm not comfortable going to them. I'll definitely be shopping wearing a mask, and certainly not going to eat in a restaurant or pub. Hubby and I will continue to order take away.

    On the bright side, today I'm walking in a virtual race, there's no set miles. We just log whatever miles we do. I'm planning on walking close to 5 miles. The event is donating a pair of shoes to a healthcare or janitorial worker for every 50 miles participants log in total. I was able to nominate my hubby as a potential recipient for shoes, so that was cool. I hope he is selected!

    Walked 5.08 miles in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 with Cayenne in the virtual RonaRunOff. Event miles of each participant will be aggregated and, for every 50 miles, a pair of shoes will be donated to an area healthcare or janitorial worker. I had the opportunity to nominate my hubby Stan for the shoes. I hope he gets selected!
    You may notice I'm wearing my most recent 10K shirt from March, which was virtual as well. The race sponsor was a local craft beer brewery. I love the fine print: Will Run for Beer! Unfortunately this year, there was no free beer at the finish line. o9781izczd6c.jpg

    JFT Sunday

    - Log all food & drink :smiley:
    - Online church, hubby is doing the children’s message today. :blush: Might have fallen asleep a bit...
    - Row - coach directed workout :(
    - clean up a bit outside, maybe but some hanging baskets for the back porch :smiley:

    - No alcohol :smiley:
    - bed by 11:00 :smiley:

    Yesterday was a bit of a disaster as I felt horrible. I went to bed rather late Saturday and woke up at 5:00 am and could not fall back to sleep. I actually tried to nap periodically during the day to no avail. I was the kind of tired that just makes a person sick to their stomach. There was little activity, but my food was good, especially considering I ate pizza. Even though I didn't feel well, it wasn't a bad day.

    JFT Monday

    - 7:00am work call from home :smiley:
    - To work by 8:30
    - Redo major project as a result of 7 am call... damn
    - Walk at lunch if rain holds off.
    - Take a half day since it is V's actual birthday today.
    - Work some more outside. Buy hanging baskets, if not raining.
    - Make V's birthday treat
    - No booze or beer
    - Some type of activity
    - Bed by 11:00

    Have blessed day y'all!

    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
    End of April: 192.6
    Today: 194.8

    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. 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? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
    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. LOTS of walking today. Sore feet. :(
