    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of January: 189.8
    End of February: 190.0
    End of March: 190.4
    End of April: 188.7
    End of May: 191.2
    End of June: 191.4
    Today: 196.0

    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 9/22. 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. Today's run wasn't enjoyable, but I got it done.
    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.

    Sunday 1st August

    Last week escaped. After the estate agent had taken photos on Monday we went to Devon for a mini break with my brother and his wife and then we drove back up to Skye on Friday. I’ve not been logging but know I’ve not been in the green. I’ve now got 1.5kg to shift to get back to where I was a month ago. Time to get back to doing what I know works.

    What a weekend, LOL!! Saturday was structured completely around helping my hubby. We had two trucks that needed travel maintenance before leaving, then packing and prepping all the equipment, trailers, tools, personal items, you name it we packed it. Lol, needless to say, this is why my Saturday JFT did not get green checks/smiley faces!!

    @mytime6630 Happy to see you back on JFT posting again.

    @pridesabtch Life happens girl. Hang in there. I am here for you if you ever need to vent or anything, feel free to private message anytime.

    @Snowflake1968 You should try making dinner at home like that sometime, I bet you would both really enjoy it!! There is just something about bringing the "restaurant quality" into your home dining room, no pressure, no extra people, kinda removes the stress. Lol!!

    @cschmitz110515 Way to stay consistent with the posting, you always keep me inspired!!

    @Janele0627 You are consistently logging and remaining accountable to yourself, which counts!! Changing our habits takes time, just remember that! Stay strong!!

    @clicketykeys Your consistency on posting is inspiring!!

    @Ben_Derhover Welcome to JFT!! Nice to see your goals! Stay accountable and crush it!!

    Thank you all for your encouragement! Taking a day yesterday to not put so much pressure on myself really worked wonders. I cleaned a good portion of the house - put my laundry away, vacuumed our bedroom and the hall stairs, cleaned the cat box and swept the hallway, swept the kitchen and living room, and did some light random organizing of things.

    Now I feel refreshed and ready to hop back on my regular routine. I'm aiming to lose 8 pounds this month - but I'll be happy if I can lose at least another 5!

    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

    I'm finding it difficult to motivate myself to study. I feel like once school starts there will be less distractions. I dislike studying when the quality isn't there. IDK, maybe anything is better than nothing until I can achieve the quality time in a couple of weeks. 🤷‍♀️

    @MLHC1 - Heh. I keep the tab open through the day and come back to it to see sort of where I'm at and what I'm trying to do! ;D And then I just quote it, edit it, and post it for the next day. It's been a SUPER helpful resource, as I can NOT keep track of everything on my own!

    I promise, I actually DO make it a goal to not have a bajillion tabs open, but...

    @littleblackskirt I've had struggles with plantar fasciitis for years. It takes a long time to recover. The doctor who diagnosed me thought I was a runner (ha) but learned I'm an avid walker. Stretches & exercises help.

    @ZizzyBumble Congratulations on the house offer! I bet that's a huge relief.

    @clicketykeys I refer to my JFT goals during the day too, and do the Quote & Edit process to post the next day. You have a crazy amount of open tabs. LOL

    @Ben_Derhover I really like your goals 2 & 3. I once had a boss who made me so incensed, I used to fantasize about Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Seriously, now I have an *kitten* asst. manager, but she tries to have as little as possible to do with the entire staff, so that works for me.

    Recap 8/2 M vacation day & stayed at home
    1) Walked dog 4.51 mi on gorgeous sunny morning & met another person who walks with dog treats in hand LOL B) happy dog & happy me
    2) Move 10+ hours :smiley: 11/14 & 16.2K
    3) Net cals zero / 14c water :s Fine all day, then evening snacking. What is the matter with me?
    4) More of ta-da list :smiley: Did chores I felt like (vacay day after all) & happy with that. TA-DA!
    5) 5:00 hair appt. :) Finally have an agreement on softer color... hope hubby agrees when he sees.
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app before bed / 5:40 alarm (workday and back to reality ~ walk dog before) :# 1/6

    JFT 8/3 T ~ decided on rest day
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    2) Log drinks & dinner as best I can / 14c water
    3) Catch up emails / GA-C/V 1-2 F&Ds / watch FB Live video?
    4) 6:00 meet at Los B
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)

    Tonight I am meeting an old friend for the first time in 2 years. We both love a certain Mexican restaurant, which is between our homes, so meet there for drinks and dinner. I will enjoy!

    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.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    - Work on laundry :(
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - take some food over to my mom :(
    - bed by 11:30ish :smiley:


    Have a blessed day y'all!

    Yesterday was fine, but mom has decided she does want me to completely take over her finances which has me a little nervous, but of course I will do it. I'm just not exactly sure what needs done. I want her to have some independence, but at the same time I need to limit her. It feels weird to give your mom an allowance, but that looks like what it may come to. In light of this, my anxiety is super high, and my give a crap and patience at work are extremely low. Mostly my patience is non-existent.

    Anyway, today I need to research Power of Attorney etc. and calm the f down.

    JFT

    - Get ready & go to work :smiley: -

    @cschmitz110515 - I did go through and close the ones I'm not actively using, and I'm down to this:

    5rvi0r1vuj8r.png

    Most of this is sites (counting this) that I check daily. There's also a script I'm working on, and a fanfic, so I've got Doc files open, one with my notes, and one with the draft, for each of those. And then my library account so that I can check on what due dates are coming up, and Goodreads, which I try to update daily, and then some social media stuff, plus my email inboxes (which I will forget about if I leave them in bookmarks). And then several Facebook tabs, as I'm asking people for app recommendations. And then Google calendar for a long-term version of JFT, a teacher discussion board, and an article about the apps I'm looking into.

    When I feel 'settled' I look through my bookmark folders XD

    @pridesabtch ...taking over your mum's finances may seem overwhelming, but believe me, you will get used to it. It will become "normal" and just an extra chore to do. Sending you hugs.

    @ZizzyBumble ...so pleased for you with your house offer. That was quick! fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.

    @cschmitz110515 ...ha ha I'm definitely not a runner either, but have done a lot of walking over the years. I'm doing my stretches!

    @HEGoddard0928 ...lovely motor!

    JFT Tuesday 3rd August

    Log everything yes, although made meal for family and guessed a little bit
    Stay in the green slightly over
    No snacking none
    Back exercises the easy ones
    Walk 32 minutes in the evening

    I have an even longer To Do list today, including an appointment to visit my mother in the care home. Also have to empty her pantry and take the suitable items to the local food bank. That should take up most of the afternoon.
    Hardly did anything on my list. Food donated, but told so many charities are doing food parcels now that it's not really required. None of the charities in town wanted my men's suits or baby walkers, so they are still in the car.

    I didn't weigh and record my food last night as I cooked for family. I haven't yet decided if it's better just to enjoy the family meal and not weigh food, or to put my weight loss efforts first and record properly. I'm still careful with portions, and fairly good at estimating calories.

    JFT Wednesday 4th August

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    No snacking
    Back exercises
    Walk
    Pay bills/paperwork
    Ironing (behind on this this week)

    Word for the year Strength

    Lose 21lbs in 2021

    End of 2020: 187.4

    End of April: 188.7
    End of May: 191.2
    End of June: 191.4
    Today: 196.0

    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 9/22. 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. Working out, then leaving early!
    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.

    Have a fab day y'all!

    Goal wise yesterday was decent, I didn't log and didn't go to the in-laws, but I did only have 1 drink. Things went pretty well with mom, I just need to figure out a budget for her. Now that I have access to her bank account that should be rather easy.

    I totally didn't want to come to work today, but I have an in person meeting in the afternoon and I thought there was an audit today. Turns out the audit is tomorrow & Friday. That means for the first time in over a year, I will be at work all 5 days. How crazy, lol.

    Nothing really on the agenda this evening, so I'll probably do laundry...

    My in person meeting just got canceled, this may end up being a half day in the office and a half day at home...

    JFT Wednesday

    - Work by 8:00 :( 8:30 and in a ball cap
    - Do some method reviews and revisions.
    - Make a spreadsheet/budget for mom
    - Laundry
    - Maybe actually make dinner, but I kind of want Chinese
    - Bed by 11:00
    - Log food

    Y'all have an awesome day!
