Work was awful today. Only two aides on my unit, myself and another girl, and she decided to walk out an hour into the shift. I was so stressed, the only thing I ate/drank while at work was a small bag of chips and a Mt. Dew. For dinner, we went out again. I got a fairly healthy meal, but I was so hungry I ate too much/too fast. I'm paying for it with a stomach ache
Still met most of my goals and stayed in my calorie range, as well as did a workout. Hopefully the rest of the week will be better, since I'm switching to the activities department at work.
Weighed myself today. Lost 2.1 lbs. 85.8 to reach my goal.
Also lost 0.5 an inch in my neck4 -
Happy new week!
I'm not going to go back and find my post from Friday, I don't think I did very well anyway.
Today I'm going to try and have an easy day and give my back a rest after a full day with my grandson yesterday, and cleaning a very messy holiday let on Saturday. I don't understand how some people can be happy to leave such a mess, heavily stained towels, marks on the furniture, unwashed dishes, the list goes on. Either their own homes are very dirty or they have cleaners lol. Of course, some weeks the guests are lovely. Everyone wants to arrive to a cleaned and disinfected house, but some make it easier than others!

I didn't post all weekend. Sat. started w/ farmers market & dog walk. Then drove 180 miles round trip to see mom & dad and deliver a cane for her to use once rehab allows. She's doing great with PT since her knee replacement 3 weeks ago, she's getting around very well with her walker, Warfarin is under control with other meds, and best of all, she's not in pain.
Then Sunday was church, laundry on the line, and hubby & dog ride time. Ate out 2X: pizza takeout Sat. night b/c I didn't want to cook & Sun. hubby suggested going out for brunch for first time in 1 1/2 years. Totally worth it. Decided not to log b/c truly I had no idea (not chain restaurants). But last night I made farmers market meal: baked salmon, cooked green beans, parsleyed red potatoes, and we ate the last of the strawberry shortcake.
JFT 7/12 M

happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (not sure if possible during Zoom webinar this afternoon)
3) Prelog food / lunch at desk / net cals zero / 14c water

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
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
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).

- COOK DINNER 🛑 Matt kinda did... He heated up a frozen pizza. I really think it's the first time he's ever used the oven. Lol. Now I just have to remind him not to start something complicated and involved in a video game while waiting for the oven timer to go off...
- Stay hydrated ✅ Woke up hydrated but incredibly thirsty this morning. It was strange bc thirst is the first sign of dehydration but my (TMI) urine was a light color. Idk.
- Nighttime routine 😂 I did this for about 2 days and then just haven't been able to since. I'll keep it on here though. Let's see if I can actually do it
I don't honestly remember how yesterday went. I'm going to assume that nothing drastically terrible happened bc I'm pretty sure I'd remember. Lol.
I'm off today and tomorrow. It's supposed to be ridiculously hot and gross again today so it's going to be an easy inside day I think. Although we do have to bring up the trash can. But that I can just tie it to the back of the car and wheel up. Lol.

Well it’s been an incredibly busy few days. I did ok and only gained .6 lbs even with some not so healthy food choices.
The Grands have been here since Friday and will go home today. I will probably be sleeping most of the evening after they leave. I am currently played out!
Their parents will be here this afternoon and we will be having a cleaning party before they arrive.
My house is a bit of a disaster right now.
I’ll try to catch up later.3 -

My boyfriend once again threw a wrench in my plans lol. We went out to a local brewery where we tried some beers and wine, we went mini golfing, and got dinner. It was a fun time, though I wasn’t light on the carbs. At least I didn’t eat the bun on my foot long hot dog!
Those little things like that can really add up over time!! Good for you!

(I'm in the break room at work right now and I can hear this little kid shreiking through the door and across the store. I think that's probably my least favorite thing about working with the public. Lol)
I was at Walmart last week doing some shopping and there was a child about 4 years old that screamed and tantrum'd throughout the entire store for at least 25 minutes! It was really piercing and loud. I was torn between feeling a bit annoyed after a while and feeling really bad for his/her mom!
I remember when I took my 3 little ones grocery shopping (about a hundred years ago) and they all started throwing fits because of something they wanted and I couldn't afford to buy. I told them "Stop right now or we will leave immediately and you will not get any treat at all". They didn't listen, of course, because they didn't believe me. So they continued and I promptly took ahold of their hands, left my cart sitting in the aisle, led them screaming and crying out of the store and drove them home without anything. I felt so bad for leaving the cart and I felt like the meanest mom in the whole world. BUT, they never did it again. They learned that if I said I was going to do something, I meant it. LOL!!! I can't believe I still remember that like it was yesterday...must have been as traumatic to me as it was for them... 2 -

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 try and catch up with posts tomorrow morning.1 - Name: Terri

@PackerFanInGB - I had one of those traumatic experiences too. Only when they are a parent do they understand how you felt too.

@PackerFanInGB - it’s the house we used to live in that we are selling not our Skye home.
I’ve not been on here since Saturday morning. I had a great weekend socially but my friend brought lots of Devon clotted cream and I’ve been over indulging on cream teas! 😊

Huge pile of bedding to iron all done except tea towels and shower curtains, which are still wet

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.

Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases.

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?

Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
WFTY: Persistence. Highest weight in awhile. UGHHH. I just like food and I consistently eat more than I need to. Ugh. It's frustrating that it's so enjoyable. :PReminder: 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 -

But also learned to appreciate after I grew up. Lol2 -

@littleblackskirt - I’m curious, do you dry your clothes on a line? Is that why you iron your sheets? My Mom used to iron hers.
@clicketykeys - Does the toothpaste clean your jewelry? I bought a new phone case last Wednesday and didn’t like it at all. I ended up getting another one that was delivered today.
@HEGoddard0928 - I tried my hardest to stick to my punishments for the girls, but I failed when I grounded out eldest for 6 weeks between Grade 1 and 2. I made it about 2 before I kicked her out and told her to go play. I never used grounding as a punishment again! I learned it just hindered me not them.
I have overeaten for the last 4 days! I need to reign it back in. I feel like crap and know I feel better when I’m being more mindful. I don’t know why I do it, except as @clicketykeys says, “I just like food” for me, the junkier the better.3 -
@Snowflake1968 ... yes I dry on a line outside whenever possible. It's bedding and towels for 6 people, plus extras, so it's the easiest way to do it. I tumble the towels a bit to make them softer. I have to say I don't iron my own sheets for home, but I feel the beds in my business have to look their best! My ironing board will be up permanently until November!

After we had dinner and my friend left, I didn't want to do much of anything. So I vegged out on the couch and watched tv with my boyfriend. I'll push my shower to the morning.

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.

Apparently I didn't post yesterday, not surprising as I was super busy at work. I didn't even eat until I got home yesterday after a 10 hr day... Ugh, needless to say my choices were not stellar as I was famished. Oh well, today is a new day. Had to be at work early today to prep some things for the day so I missed my gym class. This coming to work on Wednesday thing is overrated, but I am leaving early today. I typically work from home on Wednesdays.
Today is already off to a better start than yesterday as I ate breakfast.

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

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 -
First of all, welcome to our new folk. This is a friendly, helpful group. I look forward to getting to know you.
It's good to read about all the family times that we have had over the holiday. Family connections are very important.
Friends are important too. Has anyone heard from Bex or Joan lately?
@HEGoddard0928 - I love the TA-DA list. Celebrating our successes is a very good idea.
@beachwalker99 - I agree with Tracy about keeping logging in. Taking a break never works for me because I just slide back into my old ways.
@pridesabtch - I hope the therapist works out well for you. Sometimes all you need is a dispassionate mind looking at your situation.
@ZizzyBumble - good luck with the house sale. It can be very stressful but it does come right in the end.
@Snowflake1968 - Michaela has made a lovely job of that chair. I love the idea of the cleaning party. 😍 The phone changeover. Ain't modern technology wonderful when it works. 😂 Incidentally, I always use toothpaste to clean my jewellery especially the silver stuff. It brings it up with a beautiful shine without a lot of elbow grease, I use an old toothbrush.
@Janele0627 - commiserations on the awful day at work. And congratulations on losing that weight. Little by little you will reach your goals. Taking measurements is a good solid second way of keeping track of progress. Kudos for leaving the bun on the plate.
@littleblackskirt - Sorry to hear about your inconsiderate guests.
@cschmitz110515 - delighted to hear about your mothers progress. It must be a great weight off your mind to know that she is recovering so well.
At the beginning of July I joined Building Healthy Habits on Community. Last week I did an on line 5 day course on habit setting/reframing with tinyhabits.com. Also read up on Atomic Habits (James Clear) Both have been very useful in refocusing my mind on how to proceed with maintenance, and streamline my habits for permanent change.3 -

I don’t know why I do it, except as @clicketykeys says, “I just like food” for me, the junkier the better.
Actually, I went with baking soda paste. It seems to be working well! The piece I'm working on now is REALLY detailed so I'm just doing a little at a time because it's suuuuch a chore XD
And I feel you! It's not even "the junkier the better," in my case, though I love sweet, rich foods as well. But my hard-to-kick habit is the "just." As in, I'm just going to have a bowl of cereal. And I do! A cup of Frosted Mini-Wheats and some 2% milk. I'm just going to have a sandwich. A single slice of 70-cal multigrain bread, toasted with a slice of cheddar cheese on top, and then three slices of ham on top of that. SO GOOD. Or, I'm just going to have a bowl of strawberries and low-fat cottage cheese.
Eating is just so pleasurable and comforting. Even when I'm not hungry, and it's something relatively simple. I just like it!2 -

Sorry for the "shouting" lol. My bff invited me to spend the first week of November with her! Got the okay from Matt and she got the okay from her roommate. I'm buying the plane ticket on Monday. A round trip with no layovers is about $300. Which isn't terrible at all!
