And how to find my old post... ?? Guess tonite I'll play around more to figure it out. But I don't like how it is at all .. every post is so spaced out. Oh well ... I think they are doing this to work better with apps and not so much a computer.
Goals for today simple.
try and log my food if I can figure out how!
concentrate on water
clean house
mindful eating
work on quilts.
I can't even use it on the app right now. I'm not liking it much either having to go on the webpage on my phone, it is dead spaced out like you say.
I'm just hoping it's okay on the app.. whenever they resolve that for Android users

Well, MFP seems to be making some progress on the "snags" in the updated Community. I was able to see & copy my spoiler from a prior post, and Quote & edit just like I used to. Yesterday I searched in the Community, under News & Announcements. Learned the top open item was Community displays a blank page in the Android app. This affects me so all my posts will have to be on a computer.
Good news: MFP has reverted back to BBCode which should resolve the line spacing issues with new posts (apparently lots of users not happy) and spoilers should work again. Yippee.
Still not happy that there is no navigation from the Community to Food Diary. Now I have separate tabs open on my computer, one for each.
Recap R 11/11 ~ Thank you to all veterans!
1) Walked dog 4.37 mi before rain returned = happy dog & happy me
2) Net calories zero / 12c water
green 68 & sodium good (finally) only 8c water 
3) Day at home & TA-DAs already done: washed dishes, sheets in laundry. More ta-da's: drop hubby off to pick up car from muffler shop, Fleet Farm, other? yay, lots done & still time to relax on day off
4) Unplug 9:00 / floss still sore on right side / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app fell asleep before I could
/ no alarm (vacation day)
JFT F 11/12 ~ vacation day at home for me & hubby
1) Walked dog 5.21 mi happy me & happy dog
2) Dined out for brunch at locally owned restaurant & logged best I could, brought nearly half home / net calories zero / 12c water
3) Hang baffle on shepherd's hook
with hubby's help / refill bird feeders / get rid of dead mouse in garage & reset trap jointly w/ hubby / bake something with v ripe bananas / check DVR / start analysis for 2022 flex spending acct / another ta-da?
4) Unplug 9:00 / floss if able / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. (no plans but yardwork & walk dog)
2021 Goals: Yay, my spoiler is back!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 ~ 10.31.21
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 (228 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 blessings1 -
Hour commitment - back from nice time with my girlfriends. Now I won't eat again until after 5 pm.1

Ongoing plans/ideas
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 May 12. ObG schedule for 2022 after 9/28. PCP 9:45 AM Dec 22. Therapy 9 AM Mon 11/22 and 12/29
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Jan 12 7P.
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
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. I am really glad this year is almost over.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.2 -

Yesterday was a good day The rain cleared in the early afternoon, so my grandson and I took an impromptu walk in the park. I thought the unpaved trails might be muddy, but the boy led the way into the woods. We walked on a colorful carpet of newly fallen leaves shaken loose by the morning rain and heavy with the spicy scent of autumn. The damp leaves muffled our footsteps, and a doe peered out at us through the trees, more curious than wary. Overhead, the sky had cleared to a brilliant blue, and the sun filtered down through a golden canopy to sparkle on the stream. It was magical!
Then it was back to the house to bake banana muffins - with walnuts for my husband and chocolate chips for the boys - and to relax and slide into the weekend. Only two weekends before Thanksgiving, and I have so much to do! But it's still warm enough for a bike ride this morning, so the chores will have to wait.

Relax in the evening
I'm working today, a bit slower than normal as I still feel rubbish. it's fine though, there's no rush today and I can keep working into the evening if I want to. Not going home until tomorrow.
Should be easy to stick to sensible eating as I've only got what I brought with me, as long as I don't go out for takeaway. (I won't, feel too yuck to bother doing that).
Glad to see BBCode is back,2 -

@beachwalker99 Your description was well written, almost like a story! I enjoyed reading it, it sounded lovely!
Official weigh day: 252.4 lbs, down 0.4 lbs from two weeks ago. I suspect I gained last week but the scale was malfunctioning last week.
I track my exercise, health tidbits, and calorie (red or green) on a paper chart, which helped me learn this:
Exercising in the evenings after eating has less impact than exercising in the mornings before eating, regardless of same caloric intake. That's at least true for me. [It is not as easy for me to exercise in the morning because of building noise restrictions and DH's work hours, but things are about to change yet again for us so we'll see]
The little emoji menu is gone again! Darn. (I use desktop) Totally not sure what the BBcode is?This A.M. got the news that DH's job will require vaccine paperwork including all 100% remote workers in 2 weeks (they had not said a word until today despite pressure; international company employs about 1K locally). Private info/exemptions are being publicly discussed on news. Vaccine paperwork - firings and possible dpt closure Jan 1. Going to probably spend most of the day being a listening board for DH and look unsuccessfully for someplace we can afford and some job that won't hire either of us and be stressed about moving in mid winter which stinks big time.
JFT: Friday 11-12
Calories: Green, tea in hand for stressful day
Quite red, went over and knew it but wanted chocolate and really couldn't exercise Friday (flow no); but I did not throw my commitment to myself out the window and eat all my wants. I still tracked and chose.
Exercise: if you can (flow no)
DH: Just listen quietly and pray often I did alright, good exercise of calmness and self-control during stress. Did well.
Chores and Kitchen: Try at least 2xs I cooked! I did as DH wanted to start working on our next life choice.
Crafts: When you can get away, take time for self and pray some more Used the evening to journal, enjoy music, hot chocolate, and DH. No crafts though
JFT: Saturday 11-13
Calories: Green, less calories in first half of day
Exercise: none as rest day
DH: Offer music and encouraging words, read together
Hermit: pray, send letter to R
Crafts: sewing, enjoy audiobook1 -

Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings1 -
Realized with Community update, the Search feature has changed. This may take me a bit to find past posts. Bummed about that, but minor.
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). 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. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

@cschmitz110515 Lovely pictures!JFT: Saturday 11-13
Calories: Green, less calories in first half of day quite red but see where I can cut it next time. I did notice a lesson from my paper chart that exercising before I eat (during the week) has more impact than after I eat, regardless of same caloric intake.
Exercise: none as rest day 🕊
DH: Offer music and encouraging words, read together 🕊
Hermit: pray, send letter to R 🕊
Crafts: sewing, enjoy audiobook 🪡
JFT: Sunday 11-14
Windy day: make sure all batteries and such topped off
Exercise more than 45 minutes 8-) 😎
Exercise before any eating 8-) 😎
Calories: in the green
DH: work with DH to make moving plans
Hermit: do some crafts, it's OKAY to take a fun break in the midst of stress
breathe, pray, it will be okay somehow1 -

Lovely photos @cschmitz110515 . Snow is lovely to look at but I hate going out in it nowadays.littleblackskirt wrote: »JFT Sunday 14th
Sensible meals yes
Send email no
Walk yes, weather was pleasantly mild so took a walk into the village, along the pier then bought 2 Christmas presents
Didn't even manage 3 out of 3! I'm putting off the email as it's work related and needs a wee bit of research before a carefully worded email. Too tired to think about it last night.
JFT Monday 15th Nov
Sensible meals
Send email
Email friend
Phone care home
Catch up on housework
My brain is mushy, I can't think what I want on my list today. I feel it's a bit of a cop-out saying "sensible meals" instead of logging properly. But it does keep me on track to a certain extent, not too high calorie and sensible portions.
Weighed this morning and I'm 3lbs down in a week. Sure it's not all fat but let's see if I can keep the trend going.

@cschmitz110515 them photos are lovely!!
Our news keeps going on about snow that's gonna hit the UK. Making a big deal about it (as usual) but it's never as bad as they make out it's gonna be.
And then I think about you lot and the amount of snow you get when it's like huge walls outside your house when it's all been shovelled and snowploughed off the roads. Our amount of snow is laughable in comparison!2 -

- Rest
All I did yesterday was eat and sleep. No really, its 8:00 today and I've already beaten the number of steps I took all day yesterday. I took a whopping 746 steps yesterday. I didn't even believe it was possible to take less than 1000 in a day. Migraine meds really do a number on me, which is why I rarely take them if at all possible. On a funny note, I'm guessing I have a pretty good idea of what my BMR is, somewhere around 1600 calories (1704 - 100 for being awake). BMR calculators put me at 1545, seems about right, lol. Feeling much better today thankfully, just a twinge of a headache remaining.
Not a lot planned for today, but I do plan on being more active than yesterday perhaps even getting some actual exercise in.

@cschmitz110515 - What lovely photos! Thank you for sharing them. The first snow always makes me feel like a child again. What kind of tree is that? Those bright red berries are really striking. I also love the whimsy of your garden of feeders!
@MrsHermit - Thank you! It was such a serene autumn scene that a photo just couldn't capture it. I hope your moving plans go smoothly.
@TerriRichardson112 - Good choice to plant bulbs! What varieties did you plant? I love Spring flowers, but with all the neighborhood critters, my options are limited. Sadly, tulips are "deer candy." Still, I hope to get a few more daffodils and maybe some squill in before we get a hard freeze.
@more_freggies76 - Wow! Look at all those green checks! Inspiring!
@pridesabtch - Hope you enjoyed the show!3 -
Interesting weekend. Temps in the 60's Saturday morning were perfect for a bike ride, but the storm that blew in after lunch threw my outdoor furniture around the yard and dropped the temps into the 40's. No major damage here, but power was in and out for a couple of hours. I wound up spending most of the afternoon and evening huddled under a blanket on the sofa.

Another busy week. Guess I'd better set some goals for today.
