Wednesday 13 Jan
I’m late posting today as I’ve been out food shopping for the first time since 23 Dec. I’m so looking forward to a greater selection of fresh fruit and veg and real milk in my tea! (Have been isolating as a result of essential travel).

@HEGoddard0928 - Here in Canada we aren't asking for Dr's notes right now because doctors aren't seeing patients with any of the Covid symptoms. To ask for a note after one missed shift is a lot to ask someone anyway.
@azulvioleta6 - Amazon sure is pretty convenient isn't it? I hope it works for you. It took me a couple of years to get my sleep back to normal after a lot of stress had messed it up. I tried so many things, I'm not sure what actually worked.
@ZizzyBumble - I don't know why we do it and it's a very difficult habit to break. I have gotten better it has to be a couple days now before it affects me instead of the hour or two it used to take.
@littleblackskirt - I understand how you feel. I have gotten to that point about our craft/guest room. No one is able to use it so it's become a junk pile. I keep thinking what's the sense the Grands can't use it anyway.
@shenna333 - I love surprise blessings like that. I'm also quite envious you were allowed to have a friend drop by.
I haven't seen any of my friends except for 5 minutes on our doorsteps when we dropped off Christmas presents since last March.
@pridesabtch - I'm so sorry for you loss. I remember you talking about him when you went out in Spring. I'm so terribly sorry. Hugs to you.
@cschmitz110515 - but I REALLY didn't want to report on JFT - This is exactly what helps me get on track. I find the accountability really helps me.

When they encounter material that they do not master on the first try, (a) they may not have developed alternative strategies, and (b) it's an unpleasant experience that they don't have much experience with.
I talk to my students about the fact that nobody can "do it all." They're getting to a point in their lives at which they're going to have to prioritize some things ahead of others. And that means that things that are at a lower priority may not come out just right, or they may need to let go of some of them. And that's okay.
Good luck. You'll be in my thoughts.
Yep! High school is the place to learn those lessons and grow from those failures. So many people don't really confront their study habits until the first year of college when failing comes with bigger consequences. It's also very common for good students to be falling behind with distance learning.4 -

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
Today: 189.4
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 On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
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 – March? ObG schedule for April. Schedule PCP for May.
7. Theater: Little Princess.
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. Open Wordpress in Safari.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 15 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks, horse stance for 5 breaths.
14. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. 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. It's evening and I remembered! AGAIN!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 -

WFY: Forgiveness (of self)
Y'all have a great day and tell people how important they are to you.
Yesterday's food choices weren't great, but I logged them and I was under calories. It has been a long time since I've spent more than 30 minutes on the bike, 71 minutes seemed daunting. Funny thing is I used to ride for hours so 71 minutes should be no big deal. Really it wasn't, I did it on the spin bike rather than the trainer so I could set a resistance and a cadence and just go. I can do this on my trainer, but my cadence sensor needs a battery. Anyway, the ride went well. no stopping, no slowing just a nice 80-85 cadence for my steady state at 30% resistance. I needed this kick in the pants.
We also scheduled our summer vacation this year for Cocoa Beach in Florida. Rented a nice house a block from the beach, and we'll take our kids plus a friend for each. It is always more fun when they have friends. Swim suits and such, another motivator. AND it will be my 30 year class reunion this year. It may be virtual, but I still wanna look good.
JFT Thursday
- 7:00 am Global Call
- Feed 4-legs
- Take meds & Vitamins (forgot last night)
- If nice (not raining) go for a long, cold, hilly walk
- If raining ride for 71 minutes - my new thing
- Log all food
- Stay in the green
Have a stellar day, y'all!

@mytime6630 - I boredom eat. I think I need to buy some sunflower seeds or something. I used them when I quit smoking as they kept my hands and mouth busy but I couldn't eat so many, because of the salt, that it did a lot of damage to my calorie count.
@WellingTX - It is a relief to get the vaccine. I'm happy for your parents. I am waiting to hear when my Mom who is LTC and my inlaws are able to get theirs. I work in LTC so have had my first one, but feel guilty that so many others want it and can't yet.
@mermaidnj - The last time I heard of someone writing lines was my daughter in Grade 2. Her Father overheard her disrespecting me and she was made to write the full definition of respect 100 times. She will be 32 in February and can still recite that definition.
I had my phone call doctor's appointment yesterday and she agreed that I needed a prescription for physio. Now I need to find a therapist.

Hey Peeps!!! I found you (14 days late....) I read the last 5 pages of last year's thread and found the link. Thank you Joan ( @mytime6630 ) for starting another thread! Sorry I've been MIA for months now. I have missed you all so much!
Name: Tracie
SW: 184.4 lb
GW: 145 lb and then reassess
Ht: 5'4"
A quick intro: I'm Tracie, and I live in the blustery state of Wisconsin. I've been on the Just for Today thread with Joan (@mytime6630) since she started the first thread (I think it was originally called One Day at a Time maybe?). I've been mostly MIA for much of last year after my job was eliminated in July due to Covid-19 cutbacks. I'm 60 years old and had done the same type of work for nearly 30 years, so it kind of threw me into a tailspin. I'm still not working and consider myself to be in early retirement. It sounds better than "I'm 60 and I lost my job"! The trick to staying in retirement will be affording medical insurance. So far, so good though. I think with the worry of COVID, not seeing my family, and worry about the future, I've just been struggling with a bout of depression. I eat a lot of junk food when I'm depressed, so that's not cool. I've finally decided ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! So here I am! Happy to see everyone!
One of my January/February goals is to find and create a new morning routine, doing it consistently until it is a habit. I used to find time to hop on here every day and now that I'm not working I never seem to find the time! It's ridiculous how lazy I've become. I will be working toward establishing a new routine by setting an alarm (slowing moving it earlier by 30 minute increments until I'm getting up on my own at 0630), showering and dressing right away like I did when working, and putting on actual jeans versus sweatpants or leggings with long tunic type tops. Good Lord, I've stopped caring about myself since I got depressed. I think just doing those things will help me feel more motivated again.
Welcome to all new JFTer's and welcome back to returning JFTer's! I love this thread...feels like family to me.
I still have 13 pages of this thread to read to get caught up on what's up with everyone, but if I wait to post it could be another 3 days. So here goes...

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!
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 continuing to log / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21
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 up6 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
Today: 189.4
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 On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
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 – March? ObG schedule for April. Schedule PCP for May.
7. Theater: Little Princess.
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. Open Wordpress in Safari.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 15 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks, horse stance for 5 breaths.
14. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. 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. Really tired today. It was just very full. Time for bed.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.4 -

Good day on Thursday
For Thursday:
-Grateful for technology, today Zoom. Spent time with my father yesterday helping him with a computer issue. Not being able to see my parents in person is hard but Zoom helps.
-1900 and get my week to date average under 2000: 1771 and under 2000 for the week
-Work out for 80 minutes. Full day so will be difficult to work in the walk and work out: 50 minute, 2.10 mile exercise walk. Chose not to work out.
-Eat between 8 and 6: Done
-Eat dinner at the table: Done
-Invest 15 minutes in professional development: Podcast on walk. Recapped book
-Invest 30 minutes on the house: Not quite sure but kept up with my stuff
-Read books at night versus scrolling the web: Meh
[/quote]
For Friday:
-Grateful my struggles are with food and not other issues. While I believe most things are in my control, I also believe that there are people who try as they may simply can't control themselves. The person who can't have a single drink without going off the rails, the person who gambles their family's savings away, the person who tries drugs one time and winds up dead years later. I lost a good friend who had a great job and family who lost it all, ending up passing away at 40. I'm thankful that my issues are pizza not alcohol, drugs, infidelity or gambling and that I'm developing the self discipline to manage my challenges.
-1800 calories and work to get the weekly average under 1900:
-Work out for 80 minutes:
-Eat between 8 and 6:
-Eat dinner at the table:
-Invest 15 minutes in professional development:
-Invest 30 minutes on home duties:
-Don't scroll newsfeeds when I go to bed:

Didn't set an alarm and over slept this morning. Stomach feels better, but I'm super tired. On an up note I just found out that I have Monday off!
