    @Snowflake1968 The moth balls to keep away mice might be an old wives tale. I read where they hate certain scents, but those seem temporary (I would have to reapply) and not going to happen once winter hits. I'm not slogging through snow to unlock shed, possibly door blocked by snow, to reapply anything. C'est la vie.

    Recap W 10/20
    1) Walked dog 4.17 mi before work, enjoyed beautiful full moon setting & peeks at Orion through patchy clouds :smiley: happy dog & happy me
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (log in Exercise Notes) :neutral:
    3) Strive for zero net cals but lots of unknowns today ~ "finger food & booze" tonight / 12c water = didn't attempt to log evening food, but yummy & actually very healthy choices, don't feel like I overdid it, plus adult beverages :D had a great time!
    4) J-ROP prep :smiley: / some email newsletters backlog at least not worse
    5) Ecard to ESL one of these days / buy dog food / one more ta-da ~ minor but TA-DA = 2/3
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:45 alarm (planned rest day = no dog walk) = 2/6

    JFT R 10/21 ~ rainy morning, significant drop in temp & planned rest day
    1) Prelog / net cals zero / 14c water
    2) J-ROP checklist templates / draft Surveillance request / 10:30-12:00 ABCDs of Medicare webinar b/c I'm of a certain age LOL / 12:00 Facebook Live / 2:00-3:00 webinar / complete webinar summary form & submit along with CPE cert to LC
    3) Grocery shop on way home / ecard to ESL / scrub toilets / wash dishes / another ta-da?
    4) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)

    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

    My partner and I ended up going out as soon as I got home from work to do some Halloween shopping. We ate some amazing sushi for dinner, so managed to stay pretty healthy. But I failed to log or do a workout, because it was so late by the time we got home. We couldn't even finish our movie for our 31 Nights of Halloween!

    Tonight is going to be another tough one, as right after work we're going out to dinner for my mom's birthday. I'm going to do my best to push myself though!

    JFT 10/21
    - 64 oz of water
    - Log EVERYTHING
    - Vitamins / Meds
    - 15 min stretching
    - Only 2 drinks at dinner

    Another busy week, but most of my classes are behind me. My schedule is really lopsided this semester, with most of my teaching and meetings M-W and only one class on Friday. Thursday is my day for errands and, in theory, appointments, but that doesn't always work out. This week I saw the cardiologist on Tuesday and got my flu shot on Wednesday. The appointment with the cardiologist went really well. The meds seem to be working, so no rush to consider anything invasive. For now, he's recommending a Mediterranean diet and daily exercise - I can do that! I'm still watching sodium and avoiding caffeine, but I can have an occasional glass of wine. Yay! Fitting in time to exercise on the busy days will be the biggest challenge.

    My husband and I are heading down to see his dad this weekend, and we'll swing by to see my son and his family on our way back. Somewhere in there I have to find time to catch up on grading. It's really starting to pile up. The weather is nice, so the guys will probably play golf. If I can resist the temptation to just sit on the porch and read a book, I might get something done :D

    JFT M 10/18 - Su 10/24
    Log - :):):)
    Stay in the green for calories and sodium - :):):)
    Water - :):):)
    Exercise - X :)X

    Scale goals

    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: 199.0

    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. Next week will be interesting.
    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.

    Last night was date night/trivia. Trivia was Friends trivia, we won. Like the last date night where I ate greasy foods, I got sick. Ok well it may have been the alcohol. My plan to drink 3 beers turned into 4 then I won a mixed drink, then I had another beer... Mixing beer and alcohol could have lead to the purge, or it could have been the oh so yummy cheese curds. Either way, I weighed this morning and was only up about half a pound. Not bad for a date night.

    Not much planned for today, work and home. Kind of dreary out. Tomorrow we are going to Pittsburgh to watch the girl row.

    JFT Friday
    - Work by 8:00 :(
    - Meetings :smile:

    Happy Friday!

    I'm jumping on late today, so I think I will list my goals for tomorrow rather than trying to salvage what's left of today. I sure do have a hard time with motivation lately. Maybe it's the shorter days or the thought in the back of my head that winter is coming, but I hope not because it will be an extremely long winter if I start feeling like that already!

    Just for Saturday:
    • Up at 0700 / coffee & 24H plan & assessment / News / shower & dress / walk dog
    • Drink 64 oz water before 6pm
    • Close activity rings on watch
    • 30 minutes of self care
    • Finish Halloween table topper
    • Pick up bday cards for M / ATM / pick up Halloween cookies or cookie cutters
    • Pick up Rx

    Ongoing Tasks:
    Upload 2+ items to Tim's Etsy shop: started by uploading photos (10/16),
    Bills: Updated spreadsheet (10/16) 10/18 ⭐
    Budget: Work on November's budget. Cut-backs? Deer Camp? Christmas? Thanksgiving?
    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:
    Bullet Journal set-up: found journal (10/17)

    WOTY 2021: Determination

    Hi all - I have 20+ kgs to lose. When I was using MFP several years back, my weight was under control. Now I am back to MFP to at least not increase from here on ☹️

    Starting weight: Oct 23 - 75.9 ☹️
    Goal weight - 55kg.

    To be logged on daily basis: water, weight, no junk, light exercise, sleep.

    Ended up going out for dinner and a movie last night. It worked out because I could buy pizza by the slice at the mall then I don’t have leftovers taunting me at home. Also I controlled my popcorn intake. It odd not uncommon for me to finish off 1/2-3/4 off a large popcorn with butter. Last night I only had 1/2 of a 1/3 (1/6) off the bucket. Weighed in this morning only 0.2 up and I solidly factor that as sodium bloat. Anyway happy with how I handled the impromptu evening.

    Happy Saturday y’all!

    Had a good day in Pittsburgh with my girl yesterday. Stayed under calories and had a new low weight today. Not by much, but with eating out and drinks and movie popcorn over the past few days, I’m pretty happy.

    I’ll preface this by saying, I live in a small town with very little in the way of interesting food. Today the Wicked Lobster food truck is visiting out town. Time and I went over after church and got lobster rolls. I do mine plain/naked so the main calories are from the buttered roll. It was soooo good. Came home straightened up the house, except for the areas my daughter is “creating” in. She’s got to clean those herself.

    JFT Sunday
    - Weigh in😀
    - Sunday school😀
    - Church😀
    - Wicked Lobster for lunch 😀
    - Straighten up the living room, kitchen & bathroom😀
    - Nap
    - Log food
    - Stay green
    - Bed by 11:30

    Have a blessed day y’all!

    Hour commitment - a little over for lunch (about 50 calories over). That's ok... Now I won't eat again until with DH and FIL, probably early dinner. I can still have my dose of metamusal.

    End of May: 191.2
    End of June: 191.4
    End of July: 190.2
    Today: 196.8

    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 schedule for 9/28. PCP Aug 17. Therapy July 27.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 3.
    8. House: Siding. Ask about 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 here we go. Oy.
    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.
