    JFT Friday 15th October

    Log everything yes, although had to guess
    Stay in the green prob just under
    Back exercises the easy ones, not good enough
    Foot exercises yes
    No snacks none
    Walk 38 mins and 40 mins
    File that paperwork yes
    Prep paperwork for tomorrow yes
    Sort car insurance, ugh looked at prices, not decided
    Gardening yes

    First frosty morning, very chilly. Did what I needed to today, no more. Got persuaded to go to the park again, then we got a chippy tea. Convenient, but not great. I didn't eat it all.

    Hectic week. My college readiness classes started on Tuesday, with more than the usual number of logistical issues. But I still managed to get out and walk 3 of the 5 days so far. With a walk and a bike ride this weekend, I'll hit my goal of 5 exercise days this week.

    JFT M 10/11 - Su 10/17

    Stay in the green for calories and sodium - :):):):):)

    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. Break is over; now it's just the weekend.
    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.

    Happy Saturday! I've been trying to read and catch up for the past two weeks, but I'm so far behind that I figured I'd better hop on and post my goals and then go back and catch up as I can. Otherwise, I spend so much time reading that I'll never post any goals! LOL

    I'm about 6 pages behind now, so I'm getting there...

    So many things I would like to say but instead I'll just say I'm sending hugs to those of you with struggles, and I'm cheering those of you who have had some great successes, and I always have everyone on this entire thread in my prayers!

    I did a virtual camp last week for No BS Weightloss group and it was pretty eye opening. They talked a lot about changing our thoughts and self-talk, stopping from living in the past and to start moving forward and really living in the present, talked about people pleasing and anxiety... all good topics. I was emotionally exhausted on Monday! :mrgreen: Didn't want to use my brain at all that day... :wink:

    Anyway, my goals will be simple today since it's already after 1:00 p.m. I'll get more detailed tomorrow. I think I need to just come on and post my goals first and then read what I can when I can...it's hard to catch up and I always feel like I want to reach out to so many of you, which then leads to me not posting anything! I know you "get" what I'm saying...

    Just for Saturday:
    Water: Drink from 22 oz bottle x3
    24H Meals:
    • Bkfst: Coffee w/cream
    • Lunch: B.A.S (Big *kitten* Salad)
    • Dinner: Hamburger and oven fries. Dessert (3 cookies or apple crisp)
    • Snack Options: Yogurt, fruit, Raw Nuts, Popcorn, hot herbal tea
    Close Activity rings on my watch
    Listen to No BS course module or podcast / Joyce Meyer podcast / HSM podcast / Dave Ramsey podcast
    Bedtime early


    Tasks for 10/17/21 Week:
    Upload 2+ items to Tim's Etsy shop
    Bills
    Budget
    Put quilt sandwich together and begin quilting
    Watch video I for Pfaff machine
    Watch video II for Pfaff machine
    Watch video III for Pfaff machine
    Watch CD for Brother machine

    (continuing this indefinitely as it’s working a treat)


    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!

    I will catch up with posts tomorrow morning. I'm gonna switch off now as it's just turned 11 pm.

Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    WFTY: Persistence. Kind of nervous about next week. Already.
    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.

    @PackerFanInGB <> good to see you posting. That's my strategy when I get behind. 😂 I'm catching up on posts when I can.
    @pridesabtch <> I hope you had a great day at the regatta, and enjoyed seeing your girl.

    Hugs to everyone. Both DYD, DH, and I had our flu jabs this week with no ill effects. Just waiting for a callback for our Covid booster then we're hopefully set for the winter.

    Going to visit our DED and her boys after lunch.

    Enjoy what is left of your Sunday.

    @mytime6630 - That would make me hurt too. Sometimes people (including friends) are clueless.

    @Mytime6630 I don’t blame you! I think it’s rather rude to tell someone you want to buy them lunch and then make it awkward by changing your mind but not verbalizing it when the server comes.

    I really feel like society could take a basic lesson in common sense manners!

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of January: 189.8
    End of February: 190.0
    End of March: 190.4
    End of April: 188.7
    End of May: 191.2
    End of June: 191.4
    End of July: 190.2
    Today: 195.7

    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 schedule for 9/28. PCP Aug 17. Therapy July 27.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 3.
    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. Fall break is over. It'll be interesting to see what happens with students.
    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.

    @mytime6630 I would also have been hurt in that situation. You are not overreacting.

    Another Monday, how quickly the weeks fly by.

    JFT Monday 18th October

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Back exercises
    Foot exercises
    Walk if pain levels/rain are suitable
    Investigate electrics
    Do car insurance
    Laundry/ironing

    It's now one week since I really started logging again and staying in the green. 6 good days, Sunday I didn't log but wasn't too bad, I had smaller portions than everyone else. Weighed this morning and I haven't lost anything at all. Sigh, I guess if I keep at it the weight will move eventually.

    I thought there was a power cut this morning. I got up and ready using a torch, then discovered it was only my house, half the circuits worked but half had tripped. I haven't tried to work out what caused it yet, had a really early visit from grandson wanting breakfast at mine before nursery so just sat with him instead. I have a cold, courtesy of grandson. I decided last night to not take evening painkiller as I was feeling quite good. That was a mistake, now in more pain than usual, so will ease into the day gently.

    Have a good week everyone :)

    JFT - Monday Oct 18
    1.5L of water
    Log all food
    Walk 15 minutes
    Arm something

    I thought for sure that I had posted goals yesterday. It seems I didn’t, but I had them in my head and almost made all of them. No arms though.
    I’m noticing a difference in the last few days getting my water in. I need to keep it up.

    @mytime6630 - I would have been upset at the meal situation as well. It was very rude of her. It’s rude of all of them if they never offer to buy one meal as a thank you.

    @littleblackskirt - I hope your pain settles soon. You have ended up with a lot of responsibility with your Grandson. It’s tiring.

    I’m at work so should get at it.
