    I am trying to come up and breathe .. LOL!!! I am in a sewing frenzy. I finished up 6 fleece blankets for the grandkids, a queen size quilt for my daughter, and a holiday/christmas/hannukah quilt for my son and DIL.
    And then what do I do .. .but decide to get out my embroidery machine, and now I am working on towels. I finished up 3 sets of towels today. Now, the plan is to make 5 composition notebook covers. I bought some minecraft fabric for the 13 year old who loves minecraft, KC Chiefs fabric for the 15 year old who is a fan of them, and just fabric with footballs on for the 16 yr old. And pretty fabric for the 2 granddaughters and our daughter. What am I thinking!!

    But, all this sewing has kept me from eating too much junk food. In fact hubby and I have been having sandwiches, easy type dinner .. stir frys, tonite was just a tuna fish sandwich.

    So my goals are just very simple ... to try and log my food, concentrate on water, and veggies, protein, and fruits.

    I am so very sorry not reading and responding to all you guys... hopefully soon I'll come up to breathe!

    Recap 12/2 R
    1) Walked dog 3.83 mi before work :smiley: happy dog & happy me
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks :smiley: 17.6K & 14/14 boom!
    3) Food prelogged ~ need more protein, fortunately I have wiggle room / net cals zero / 14c water :) green 19 but sodium v high, protein, fiber & sugar good, 12c
    4) More ROP-BJ F&Ds / keep updating compliance rate sheet / 10:00 TransAmerica Medicare webinar / 12:00 Facebook Live = 4/4
    5) PREP international Xmas card / bird seed order / Post Office on way home / 6:30 choir rehearsal YAY / at least one ta-da ~ TA-DA :smiley: 5/5
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40? alarm (walk dog if weather cooperates before work) = 5/6

    JFT 12/3 F
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    2) Net calories zero / 14c water
    3) Complete H & I in ROP-BJ F&Ds... so far at pg 38 of 133 gah! / update Project Status s/s / submit PRO, KRO, PAR & fieldwork s/s / submit webinar form & CPE cert / submit leave request forms for holidays / catch up some email backlog
    4) Whatever ta-da gets done today is bonus
    5) Unplug 9:30 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat.

    Wintry mix started to fall as my alarm went off. My knee was really aching & I was worried if roads would be getting slippery. Tbh, I just didn't want to get up early and walk outside in pre-sunrise dark this morning. So I used weather as my excuse to reset the alarm & take a rest day. When I looked out the window in the start of daylight, I realized not so bad and dog & I could've easily walked. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow.

    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 ~ 10.31.21 ~ 11.30.21 slightly better
    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 YAY finished with 460.08 = 2X medal / 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

    Have a terrific Thursday y'all!

    I was a mess yesterday. I was really "up" with my mood, but my concentration of totally missing. Of course I had many high profile tasks come up that I really struggled with yesterday because I was scattered. I was a wreck by noon, near tears, shaking, etc. but I managed to come out on top at work and find resolution for the issues that I was struggling with. Hubby reminded me that I had missed a few days of my meds and that could be why I was not on an even keel yesterday.

    Had a great evening with hubby, but drank more than I had planned. I did however go with a Hawaiian Bourbon chicken breast instead of a burger, so that was a little better. This place has the best mashed potatoes. Anyway, it was fun.

    Today I need to go to mom's after work. I really don't want to... but I will. Then this evening hubby and I are going to see Elf the musical at the local theater. Looking forward to this. The local theater group usually does a great job. Knowing us we will probably go to dinner before or after. I need to leave work early if I'm going to get to mom's and get ready to go out. Currently I'm in a hoody and ball cap, and I always dress for the theater. Just kind of a fun thing to put on a dress and heels.

    JFT Goals
    - Work by 8:00 :( but close
    - Work on customer complaints
    - Update FMEA
    - Work half a day
    - Shower & get dolled up
    - Dinner & a show
    - Log food & drinks
    - Stay Green
    - Bed by 11:30

    Happy Friday y'all!

    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: 195.6

    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.

    Well done those of you who are still making the effort! It's a hard time of year to be focussed on weight/health.

    Congrats on reaching the milestone @MrsHermit , that's a big deal!

    I weighed this morning and have stayed the same again.
    I feel awful, I either have this "super cold" the media are talking about, or I've had one cold running into another. I've had it for 4 weeks now. (I've been testing, it's not covid).
    I feel as though I'm just struggling through winter so far, with the extra babysitting, feeling guilty when I can't visit my mother, trying to clear my parents house, and dealing with the storm damage. Another storm on it's way tomorrow, I have my fingers crossed it doesn't cause any more damage to my as yet unfixed roof. I'll have internal painting to do and I just don't feel up to painting a ceiling right now. I've absolutely no interest in putting up Christmas decorations, but I'll get round to it for grandson's sake.

    JFT Monday 6th

    Drink plenty
    Back exercises
    Do NOT sit in my chair all day, get up and do indoor jobs
    Read meters
    Small sensible meals

    @MrsHermit Congrats on your new milestone!!! That's wonderful progress!

    @littleblackskirt (((Hugs))) Hope you feel better soon, and you get the let damage repaired without too much trouble.

    @Janele0627 Car maintenance can be such a pain. Hope you get that sorted.

    JFT 12/6 M ~ planned rest day
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    2) Net calories zero / 14c water
    3) Complete I in ROP-BJ F&Ds & start J, K... at pg 57 of 133 so far
    4) Wash dishes / dust living room & decorate / update address labels / move 3 boxes off treadmill & check batteries on screen / shop online for S & J gifts / another ta-da?
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:00 alarm (treadmill before work)

    No recap from the weekend since I didn't post daily goals. Friday evening into Saturday I kept very busy with cleaning before decorating, then decorating. Only partially done. My SIL once said our house truly has the Christmas spirit... I put up dozens of nativities, along with other seasonal decorations.

    Yesterday's winter storm dumped more snow than predicted on us, we got about 5" and it was wet & heavy. Hubby did most of the clearing, but I shoveled the walkway & patio. Then walked dog in the fresh snow unplowed or shoveled (that's a WORKOUT) for 3.69 miles. I had one slip on ice beneath snow that ended in me nearly doing the splits and landing on my butt (softly so not a hard fall). Fortunately in the middle of a back road with no traffic. Funny thing, whenever I have a slip and fall, I never drop dog's leash. She stood and waited while I gathered myself and we kept going for 2+ more miles... My walking app GPS wasn't functioning, but we went on one of our typical routes. I had to uninstall and re-install the app to get it working again. Gotta love tech glitches.

    After the weekend's activities, I decided my body needs a bit of rest today. Indoor workouts before work start Tues. I won't say "tomorrow" because that could be misapplied. I'll be specific so I'm obligated to do what I say.

    Sorry for the long write-up. Have a great day, my JFTers!!!

    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 ~ 10.31.21 ~ 11.30.21 slightly better
    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 YAY finished with 460.08 = 2X medal / 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

    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.

    Age 64, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI

    I feel the same.
    I've had a cold for about 2 weeks. Last Friday I thought I was nearly better than bam. All weekend it's just hit me again with full force!!

    I think I read in the newspaper somewhere that because everyone was in lockdown last year we didn't get exposed to the cold so our immunity has dropped. So we're all getting it much worse than normal.

    I've been testing too, and the kids because who knows what they're bringing home from school and it's not COVID. (Thankfully) but I feel that poorly I keep wondering if it is, but it's always negative!

    I hope you feel better soon!

    @Bex953172 that's it exactly, I feel almost better...then BAM! bad as ever again. I am soooo fed up!
    I'm sure everything myself and son are getting is from the little one catching things at nursery. He nearly always has something. Again, I think that's from lockdown, he didn't have the chance to mix with others until this summer and now he's catching everything going.

    Let's hope we both recover soon.

    Just a quick "hi," but unfortunately not enough time to really catch up. I have my last round of conferences this week as I try to get my students across the finish line. This has been a tough semester for some of them, so I'm concerned. I'm hoping they all show up with that last paper this week.

    For JFT, I'm sticking to my basic goals of logging, staying green for calories and salt, water, and exercise when I can manage it. Today was surprisingly warm, and I did squeeze in a walk. We'll see about tomorrow.

    Hugs to those of you who aren't feeling well and kudos to those reaching milestones. Hope you all have a good week <3

    Recap 12/6 M ~ planned rest day
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks :smiley: 10.2K & 13/14
    2) Net calories zero / 14c water :neutral: -367, sodium not bad, protein & fiber good, 14c
    3) Complete I in ROP-BJ F&Ds & start J, K... at pg 57 of 133 so far :) knocked out 21 pages
    4) Wash dishes / dust living room & decorate :neutral: still have snowmen decorations & 1 nativity / update address labels / move 3 boxes off treadmill & check batteries on screen / shop online for S & J gifts / another ta-da? nope = 2.5/5
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:00 alarm (treadmill before work) = 4/6

    JFT 12/7 T ~ unplanned rest day :s
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    2) Net calories zero / stairs breaks
    3) ROP-BJ J, maybe K (at pg 78 of 133) / 12:00 Facebook Live / 12:30 webinar / submit webinar summary form & CPE cert
    4) Update address labels / shop online for S & J gifts / finish decorating living room / start organizing mess of papers in dining room / another ta-da?
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:00 alarm (treadmill before work)

    Aches & pains during night meant not so great sleep. Reset (I thought) early alarm and no workout. Alarm never rang so I overslept a bit. Time-pressured but managed to arrive at workplace usual time. Whew! Today will get better.

    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 ~ 10.31.21 ~ 11.30.21 slightly better
    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 YAY finished with 460.08 = 2X medal / 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
