Hey everyone, back againnn, well tbh I never really went. I've been here reading to keep up to date with you all.
My health has just gone right down the drain. Not even that I'm overeating or anything like that, I'm just not looking after any aspect of my body.
I'm in a really unhealthy food eating pattern where I mostly won't eat all day then eat lots at night.
I guess I am struggling with my mental health side of things. Not sure what's going on up there.
But I just keep getting minor ailments, headache here, stomach ache quite a lot of the time. I keep messing up my tablets including my contraceptive pill so I keep getting period cramps.
The other day I had food poisoning and for 2 days I was poorly and didn't eat for either of them days. Water was hard to hold down so by day 3 I was really dehydrated and still struggling to eat because I was too scared to set my tummy off again, plus my stomach lining was sore.
My skins not great either, keeps breaking out in spots, I've only just got over the worst cold I think I've ever had and I'm tired alot of the time and the list just goes on.
So I gotta do something. Doing nothing is doing nothing to help.
So I'm gonna start posting to get back on track. (Please try keep me accountable!)
- I need to increase my water intake to stay hydrated (and hopefully improve.my skin!)
- Consistently take my meds and call the GP next week.
- Plan my meals so I'm eating 3 times a day and plan some evening snacks so I don't over eat. (Which also means I need to log)
- Add some light exercise whenever I feel able to
Not gonna lie, not feeling particularly enthusiastic.
But I've got to put aside how I feel and do it anyway!

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.

End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4

End of April: 188.7
End of May: 191.2
End of June: 191.4
End of July: 190.2
Today: 196.8
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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.3 -

Finally got my lobster yesterday. I've been craving it for like a month, but Parkersburg, WV is no haven for seafood. On occasion we get the Wicked Lobster food truck to come to town or a nearby town and that is as good as it gets around here.
Sunday was pretty good, got some work around the house done and still worked in my nap. Really Church, lunch, clean & nap pretty well sum it up.

Wishing all my JFT friends a good week! Glad to see you post @Bex953172 hugs to you!!!
JFT M 10/25 ~ rest day?
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (log in Exercise Notes)
2) Leftovers for supper? / net cals zero / 14c water
3) Complete J-ROP checklist templates / complete draft & email Surveillance request / catch up email backlog from last week / wait on direction for PA-BB (again... ugh)
4) Ecard to ESL / take clean clothes upstairs & put away / another ta-da?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (dog walk before work)
Weekend was busy Sat. with farmers market & long dog walk, followed by some fall yardwork & a short errand or two with hubby, then grilled up some brats for last time this year. Sun. was church, longer dog walk, finished cutting back & fencing all the roses while hubby finished draining & storing rain barrels, and washed clothes & dishes. At least the only fall yardwork left is raking (me b/c hubby will use leaf-blower) once our huge trees give up their leaves. And after hubby gets the snowblower out of the shed, I can put in Weber grill and last small things. I made a new recipe (from the fish lady at Sat. market) for supper on Sun. and logged to the best of my ability. Smoked salmon & spinach fettucine... yum! Not a diet but my lifestyle.
With more seasonable weather, I had to plug in the heated birdbath, as it had some ice yesterday morning. I've really been enjoying the birds at our backyard feeders. Saw nuthatches, blue jays, cardinals, downy woodpeckers, house finches, even a robin or two still hanging around.
I could not get myself out of bed early this morning in the dark, could hear the winds blowing & just too tired from so much physical activity over the weekend. Maybe walk dog after work around the neighborhood with our LED gear on? We'll see.
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
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 up1 -
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).

Hey all, had a pretty good day yesterday.
I managed to have 3 meals, couple of snacks and still be within calories and got 6 waters in. It's always easy to stay within my calories when weve got barely any food in 😂.
Also did some Halloween crafts. Not had the spare cash to buy some so we made them instead!
Could do with making more but I've got something for my window and the kids enjoyed it atleast!
It's only 5.30pm here so the days not done.
The girls were allowed my phone today after finally behaving. 1 HR each. And I also cleaned up the rubbish bags in the garden into the relevant bins.
Casey then carried on playing in the garden finding worms. She dug a little hole and put them in there as their "bed". She found like 6 or 7, two of them were huge lol.
And then she used water to make a swimming pool. She kept herself considerably clean and just needed her hands washing.
Doing pasta for tea but I have no cheese, there is nothing worse than no damn cheese. I'm waiting for the kids complaints 😂
Really need to get a food shop in!
So far I'm on track for goals. I've had breakfast and lunch so far.
I can't remember if I said ages ago but I changed my stats to lose 1lb a week instead of 2 which increased my net calories from 1,250 to 1,596. I find it so much easier to manage my calories.
@pridesabtch I remember ages ago you went to a restaurant maybe? And you were dead excited for lobster and they didn't have it!! I'm glad you finally got to indulge your craving!
I've never had lobster before. I've not really tried seafood like that before. Not that I haven't wanted to.
Ive had mussels before from a restaurant which were gorgeous.
And grilled octopus in Greece. That was fun because the hotel we stayed at would go out and catch them in the day and hang them up on a washing line near the pool/bar area ready to grill for "Friday Greek Night".
Just one of them fond memories. 5 -
Happy Monday everyone! I’m sitting here at Urgent Care waiting to be seen for possible sinus infection. Been sick a couple weeks now but last 3 days have been increasingly worse. I didn’t want to come in, because they’re probably going to stick a foot-long swab up my nostril to check for Covid, but if I should be on antibiotics for sinus infection, I probably should find out and stop putting it off. Always something....
@mytime6630 Did you get my email? I sent it the same day that I asked about your email address. Let me know if you received it. I’ve sent a few emails and I’m not sure if you’ve received them. Maybe going to your JUNK or SPAM folder?
@cschmitz110515 You sure did get a lot done this weekend! i didn’t realize the farmer’s market was still going! I’ll have to check it out if I’m feeling better by this weekend. I would be so sad to not eat brats anymore until spring! Tim grills all winter long on the gas grill but I prefer charcoal grills. Is your Weber charcoal?
@Bex953172 So nice to see you post. I hope you start feeling better soon, hon! Your story about Casey building a worm bed is so cute! I think homemade Decorations are the best kind! My mom used to do that with us kids too and that’s what memories are made of. :flowerforyou:

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.
I will catch up with posts tomorrow morning. I'm gonna switch off now as it's just turned 11 pm.2 - Name: Terri

Hour commitment - finished lunch, now I won't eat again until after 5 pm.1

More lobster for me!!!! Found mini Langostino lobster tails at Aldi’s. Spaghetti squash, broccoli & lobster with Alfredo for under 500 calories.
