      Today was fine. Still feel completely underwater work-wise, but I’m prioritizing my workouts and got strength training plus a good walk in each of the last 2 days. I’m slowly starting to use the “take 2 deep breaths and set your intention” technique before starting a meal or snack. I stayed within Green the last 2 days, so that’s helping.

        - Up early and sweep downstairs :smiley:
        - Wait for cable guy :smiley:
        - Do some IATF & GLU Work
        - Walk at lunch :smiley: well I walked after work
        - 10K steps :( 8.8K close but not quite
        - Nap :smiley: Glorious
        - Ride after work, increase distance by a couple of miles and try to maintain pace. : I was dog tired so I didn't increase my distance. Still a good ride
        - Healthy Dinner :smiley:
        - Log everything :smiley:
        - Stay green :smiley:
        - No alcohol :smiley: Even though hubby had a drink and offered me one. I call that a win
        - No cookies or candy :smiley: Not even my poet ride "treat"

        Prayers for you all and our nation. Take care of you for me because you are valued and loved. Have a great day y'all.

        I feel like I've really turned a corner lately. Combination of 2 things, first I started working with my former coach again a few weeks back and then I had a wake up call when I went shopping for dresses for the wedding. Ugh... None the less something positive has come from it. My coach is great, he keeps me positive and moving which is huge for me physically and emotionally. Totally worth the cost! I already feel less bloated and "thinner". I only weigh once a week, so on Friday I'll see if the good work shows on the scale. If not, it's ok because I feel much better. The only real struggle right now is finding balance with my eating, I'm being a little over restrictive which is a recipe for disaster.

        JFT Wednesday

        - Sleep in a bit, as I'm not sleeping well at night
        - Work on GLU stuff
        - Grilled chicken for lunch maybe a little spinach salad
        - Walk after work, aim for 4+ miles which is up from my norm of 3.1 - 3.5
        - Have spaghetti squash for dinner while the family has pasta. It like it ok and the calorie difference is HUGE!
        - Log everything
        - Stay green
        - Listen to my book on anti-racism. I'm a little nervous about "reading" it. I guess I'm uncomfortable with the thought of taking action. Of course most change involves a little discomfort. I'm determined to become more educated and more effective in dealing with the current turmoil.
        - No alcohol
        - Bed by 11:30.

        Y'all have a great day and know you are important and loved. Prayers to all of those sick, or just struggling during this crazy time.

        Good luck @teigansdad racing tonight! Have a celebratory beer for me.

        3) Net calories green / 14c water = Net cals 23 :smiley: sodium & sugar green :mrgreen: fiber & protein ok :neutral: 14c water :smiley:
        4) Work from home / organize papers & electronics for work at office W / prep overnight oats, lunch/snacks & water bottle / prep mail to drop off W = 4X :)
        5) One home chore = :) few small ones
        6) Floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley:

        JFT W 6/3 ~ rest day since working at office
        1) Move hourly / REMEMBER 5 somethings / stairs breaks (3 floors today)
        2) Brought lunch & snacks to work / supper will be leftovers / net calories green / 14c water
        3) Work at office / complete online HIPAA training & print certificate for manager's In basket :) / complete checklist of things in office / organize papers & electronics for work from home R / drop off mail at PO on way home
        4) One home chore (maybe more boxes?)
        5) Floss / retainers

        Working at the office today, but limited staff on-site. Only 2 other cars in main parking lot when I got here, and my floor is mostly empty of colleagues. Only one co-worker is in my dept. several offices over, and I haven't seen my own office-mate (we share offices) since March 19. Already I scared one colleague as I exited the restroom, then startled the facilities guy as I stepped out of my dept.

        Rest days are as important to me as workout days and, due to my work schedule, today is a rest day. Which meant yesterday I had to work out. Since the basement area where I work out is temporarily cluttered with my basement boxes project (2020 Goals), that meant an early morning dog walk. Glad I did, as temp reached a record for that date ~ it was 92(F) [33(C)] and dew point in the 70s, very humid. Today is nicer, so maybe I'll take a quick walk outside at lunchtime.

        @Snowflake1968 Have no idea if/when we know who receives the shoe donations. Took two days for the sponsor just to tally all the miles submitted during May and send a group email. Participants could submit miles for only what they ran/walked on a single day as an "event," not supposed to be a total of tracker miles for a day. Apparently they even verified one who ran 100 miles! I still have hopes for the shoes to hubby.

        2020 Goals:
        1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)
        2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
        3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
        4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2.1.20 / 2.29.20 / 4.1.20 (forgot 3.31.20)
        5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
        6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23
        7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
        8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
        9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk (some) & more basement boxes Feb. / basement boxes & home office (some more) Mar. / decluttered/cleaned in bedroom & more basement boxes Apr. / basement boxes May ~ very pleased w/ my progress

        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. Not happy with the scale.

        Today DSD (dear step daughter—eldest) graduated high school! We are still in relatively strict shelter in place, so it was a drive through graduation. No speeches, no awards, no waiting...took less than 10 minutes from pulling in the school driveway to her popping out of the car for 2 sets of pictures, a diploma case, a diploma, done. Considering it was a freak 100 degree day, staying in an AC car was nice, even if the “ceremony” was anticlimactic! We had the car covered in chalk writing, ribbons, balloons and banners. Her mother’s car—both families piled in as only one car was allowed. Then a BBQ at our house. With the kids going back and forth we gave up and are “bubbled” as a 2 family household. I overate a bit at the BBQ, mostly because I didn’t realize exactly how “expensive” corn on the cob is, and because DSD made a freaking Fantastic strawberry shortcake (she loves to cook and insisted on making half the menu). Best I’ve ever had. But overall I believe I’m under maintenance calories.

        @Snowflake1968 , I am very lucky that the awesome lady that runs my local gym has taken all her classes online! We dial in from home on Zoom - it’s been an absolute lifeline whilst the gym is closed.

        I hope everyone has a great day today x

        @Snowflake1968, in the GREEN! Well done, keep going :)

        What I find frustrating is that as "overweight me" I'm quite happy with what I'm eating and I can keep my weight steady. But every time I've lost weight "slim me" can't stay slim, even though I feel that I eat the same amount!
        I need to get slim one more time and work this out :)
