    Today: 197.8

    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 The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
    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. 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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    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.
    6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning – Late Oct? ObG ? PCP ? Therapy ? CHECK DATES
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Nov 6.
    8. House: 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: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. 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: Persistence. And just like that, the day is gone. Zoom!
    Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.

    JFT Tuesday 12th October

    Log everything everything until some crisps in the evening
    Stay in the green I was, until the crisps. Around 100 - 150 calories over
    Back exercises only a few, MUST do better
    Foot exercises yes
    No snacks just the crisps
    Walk Was out about hour and a half with grandson and dog, to the park. Logged half an hour of that
    Paperwork/Mum's bills no
    Grocery shopping/see if I can get petrol/compost/bird feed yes x4

    Did well yesterday until I decided to have a drink and eat crisps in the evening. I don't know what it is with crisps at the moment (well, this whole year!). I didn't eat crisps for years, I had one flavour I really liked but stopped eating them. Why did I start again after years not having them? I'm beginning to suspect they are not good for me, I was up in the night with a bad gut again. I will not buy any more.

    JFT Wednesday 13th October

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Back exercises
    Foot exercises
    No snacks
    Walk
    Gardening
    Paperwork/Mum's bills

    I'm having family for evening meal today, will try to pre-log it. The only way I will stay in the green is to miss breakfast, I'm not enjoying this!

    Have an awesome day! Much love y'all!

    Yesterday was a good but challenging day. I have a new position at work and the learning curve is steep, but I'm handling that well. Doing well with my calories during the day, but didn't get enough calories in the evening after my ride.

    My ride, wow that was a disaster, but I completed it. I'm proud of myself for coming back from the panic attack and finishing. I really struggled. The people with me were very kind, but it was embarrassing to break down like that mid ride. I wanted to turn and go back, but they wouldn't let me go solo, and I didn't want to ruin their ride, so I went on. Still crying and not breathing well at first, but I eventually settled and things were ok. I need to get over the anxiety of riding hills. I'm so afraid of failing that I wig out. I used to be a great climber, but that was like 75 pounds ago and gravity is not your friend on the bike. I guess the only way yo get better is to keep losing and keep riding.

    Today was another early day at work with an international call at 7:00am, so I was in by 6:00. This would be great because it means I could technically leave at 2:30, but with my new work load, that isn't happening. Hopefully as I get more comfortable with the job, things will flow better. If I actually get out by 3:30, I'm probably going to go ride, but by myself on a bike path rather than the rolling hills of WV.

    JFT Wednesday
    - Work by 6:00 :smile:
    - Meeting with Homma-san & Mori-san :smile:
    - Delrin Morning meeting :smile:
    - Investigation into lab variations
    - Go over to my new office and order furniture, monitors & such, secondary location since I have 2 jobs in two different buildings now
    - Work on Lab calibrations
    - Protein shake for brunch
    - Log food
    - Leave work by 3:30
    - Ride
    - half portions for dinner ( these are probably single portions, but half what I used to eat)
    - no alcohol
    - stay green
    - bed by 11:30pm

    Happy Wednesday y'all!

    Finally on an antibiotic for yet another sinus/ear infection combo.

    Hopefully I will start feeling better in a few days and can properly count calories and exercise again!

    Yesterday evening I had a bit of misadventure. Did my quick shopping trip to grocery store on my way home from work, loaded purchases into car trunk & shut, then reached for my keys in pocket. Oops, not there, checked all my pockets, then my small purse, even looked in shopping cart and around the car. Nope. Panicked for a minute, then realized keys must be in trunk of my locked car. Returned cart to corral & contacted AAA for lock-out service since hubby was at work across the city. Thank heavens hubby adamantly signed me up, first time in 17 years I had to use.

    Then I stood/sat at edge of parking lot waiting by my car. Decided instead of being upset and/or pissed at myself, be grateful. I had a service coming; Tues. evening better than other busier times for service; it was still warm out for time of year; cloudy but not raining on me; didn't have anything melting in trunk of car; the pets would survive until I got home. Just over 30 min. later the technician called to verify my location & arrived in 2 minutes. Very nice man, evaluated the situation, chatted about calls he frequently gets when the Green Bay Packers are playing a home game. Zip, boom, bang, door open & alarm blaring. I popped trunk open & there were my keys. Turned off alarm & gave technician a hug (he didn't mind).

    Life could be worse. Technician & I chatted a bit more, about cars and his kids. Learned he has two autistic kids, one of them 13yo girl with lots of challenges. Yet he was such an upbeat, nice guy. Told him I would keep him & family in my prayers. He appreciated that. Reminds me that others can be challenged in ways I never see, and to always be kind.

    2021 Goals:
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable ~ 9.1.21 horrible after vacation but recorded ~ 9.30.21 small improvements yay
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and completed 97.44 miles total / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 ~ completed distance on 3.21.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21 = 146 out of 339 in 34:00:42 / Hope 2021 Face Mask virtual 5K (benefits No Kid Hungry) anytime 5.11.21 in 58:04 / 100 Miles in May virtual challenge ~ 134.68 miles would've been more if I hadn't sluffed off on dog walks one week / Bellin (virtual) 10K on 6.19.21 after thunderstorm in 1:45:49 ave. pace 17:02 per mile / Titletown Wellness Shoreline Challenge: virtual distance from Gills Rock to Pleasant Prairie (232 miles) as many times as possible 6.12.21 - 11.26.21 / Packers 5K IN PERSON 7.24.21 48:36 ave. pace 15:39 / Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K IN PERSON 10.2.21 47:34 ave. pace 15:19 second half pace 14:48
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up
    Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings

    @cschmitz110515 So glad you found your key. I've used my AAA on more occasions than I'd like to admit. Nice job staying positive.

    @cschmitz110515 -- it's funny, but when I've locked the keys in the trunk a few times, I know that I'm doing it the last foot or so of the trunk closing, but I can't change course at that point. It is frustrating! But a part of life...

    Hour commitment - finished coffee stuff and about to have a French lesson. Now I won't eat again until after 12 pm.
    JFT for 10/13 (today): βœ”οΈ
    1) Dessert ok
    2) Peanut butter ok
    3) Don't weigh again until Thursday 10/14
    4) No hard cheese today (trying not to have cheese everyday)
    5) No more tootsie pops (bad for my teeth)

    Hour commitment - After I finish my Berry vibes, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. Can still have my metamusal. No more dessert today and no more turkey patties. Also no more of the potato salad our neighbor gave us. I had a bite to taste it, but I don't need more.

    JFT Wednesday 13th October

    Log everything yes
    Stay in the green yes, just
    Back exercises no, too uncomfortable today
    Foot exercises yes
    No snacks none
    Walk 50 minutes
    Gardening a little, until rained off
    Paperwork/Mum's bills bills are paid, but nothing filed away yet

    I'm having family for evening meal today, will try to pre-log it. The only way I will stay in the green is to miss breakfast, I'm not enjoying this!

    I don't think changing my meal times works for me, for one thing it interferes with when I need to take medication every morning. I missed breakfast and then evening meal was a lot later than normal to accommodate family. I had increasing stomach pain through the day and by the time of evening meal I was so uncomfortable I didn't really want it. Never mind, I had small portions and no cream, as I knew that would make me worse, so calories were okay.

    JFT Thursday 14th October

    Log everything
    Stay in the green

    Happy Wednesday y'all!

    Winner, winner chicken dinner... all smiley faces yesterday. I gotta say the ride almost didn't happen because I just wanted to lay down when I got home. Instead I had an apple and headed out. I was falling asleep on the drive and considered turning around several times. Instead I got on my bike and decided to try. I perked up a bit once on the bike and managed almost an hour. I'm glad I did it, but also very tired today. Luckily today is a rest day & date night. I will stay within maintenance, but not worry so much about types of food I eat, and I will have a few drinks. Other than that today is just work and doing mom's bills.

    JFT Thursday

    - Weigh in
    - Work From home
    - Left over shrimp for lunch
    - Meetings
    - visit mom & do her bills

    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic

    Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts to remember.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • The scale is only one gauge of progress. Others include Measurements, clothes fit, improvement in general well-being/fitness.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!


    @bookmeister86 <> So please to to see you posting again. Pity about the house, but hang in there.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4

    End of May: 191.2
    End of June: 191.4
    End of July: 190.2
    Today: 197.8

    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 The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
    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. 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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    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.
    6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning – Late Oct? ObG ? PCP ? Therapy 9 AM Mon 11/22 CHECK DATES
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Nov 6.
    8. House: 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: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. 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: Persistence. Alas, tomorrow is the last day of break.
    Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.

    JFT - Friday Oct 15
    1.5L of water
    Log all food
    Walk 15 minutes
    Arm something
    Get active on JFT

    Well the last two days were insane! DH texted me on Wednesday that he felt a cold coming on. Of course, a cold could be more than a cold at this point in time and I work in long term care so we have to be extra cautious. I had a rapid test kit given to me for a wedding and my birthday but I had left it at our daughters. I had to drive to get it after work, it’s a 3 hour round trip. It was worth it to know he tested negative when he got home from work. He told our daughter he wasn’t pregnant. πŸ˜‚

    Last night I had ceramics and didn’t get home until late.

    Today I am off to accompany DH to the dietitian. We will both learn I’m sure.
    I then need to take pictures of ornaments and get them posted on our FB page. We have a virtual market tomorrow.

    Have a great day everyone

    Happy almost Friday y'all!

    Date night took me slightly over calories, and gave me a temporary bump up in weight, but nothing major. Wings and beer will do that...

    UGHHHHH, my new work responsibilities are certainly stacking up fast. Just gotta keep my mind in check and not let it run amuck. He he he, amuck, amuck, amuck. Oh wait there it goes. Reining it in. Mostly things are good just a tad hectic while I'm learning.

    Kiddo is coming in to town to row tomorrow so I'm baking her some treats to take back to school with her. Each small pepperoni roll is about 115 calories and boy can I toss those back. I gotta stay strong on this one.

    JFT Friday

    2021 Goals:
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable ~ 9.1.21 horrible after vacation but recorded ~ 9.30.21 small improvements yay
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and completed 97.44 miles total / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 ~ completed distance on 3.21.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21 = 146 out of 339 in 34:00:42 / Hope 2021 Face Mask virtual 5K (benefits No Kid Hungry) anytime 5.11.21 in 58:04 / 100 Miles in May virtual challenge ~ 134.68 miles would've been more if I hadn't sluffed off on dog walks one week / Bellin (virtual) 10K on 6.19.21 after thunderstorm in 1:45:49 ave. pace 17:02 per mile / Titletown Wellness Shoreline Challenge: virtual distance from Gills Rock to Pleasant Prairie (232 miles) as many times as possible 6.12.21 - 11.26.21 / Packers 5K IN PERSON 7.24.21 48:36 ave. pace 15:39 / Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K IN PERSON 10.2.21 47:34 ave. pace 15:19 second half pace 14:48 / Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K 10.9.21 in person 52:10 ave. pace 16:48 hill climb 1:44
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up
    Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
