    Treated myself to a rattan egg chair heavily discounted at the supermarket. I’ve always fancied one of those. DH said it could be an anniversary present for last month.

    Got a lot done at work yesterday, not enough, but a lot. Had an in person meeting across plant at 2:00pm and there was a huge thunderstorm. Even with my umbrella I was drenched, even my underwear were wet... After that meeting I left work early to go to the humane society where I adopted a small dog for my mom. Part beagle part chihuahua, cute little face with huge ears. Her previous owners also apparently dyed her pink... Very mellow and loving. A perfect companion dog for her.

    1ad95m8mj5a8.jpg

    Because they know mom at the pound, they know about her dementia, and they were hesitant to let her adopt a dog so I had to do it and just give it to her without them knowing... I figure as long as I am checking in on her weekly and I will be financially responsible for her, it will be just fine.

    Mom was very happy and instantly fell in love with Cora. She was afraid she'd not ever get another dog, which is a big deal for a dog person.

    Once I finally got home and put on dry clothes, I totally crashed. I took a long nap and did NOTHING. I woke up in time for dinner, then soon there after went back to sleep. I slept like a log, didn't even wake up to go pee (that's amazing). Unfortunately, I am still groggy and tired, but nobody has time for that, so here I am trudging along at work.

    Weight is still steadily dropping a couple tenths of a pound every day. I'm happy with that. Not super fast, but consistent and it's adding up.

    No real plans for today other than work. Not sure if we will go play trivia or not. We may go shopping and get Sierra a new set of pots and pans for her new apartment. I can't believe my baby girl is old enough for an apartment! I'm so proud of her.

    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"

    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    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 track daily on a separate app (for the visual). 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 ~
    • 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
    • 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
    • 3.31.22 maintaining not gaining
    • 4.30.22 barely maintaining
    • 5.31.22 ack
    • 6.30.22 ups & downs in June, but no worse at end of month
    • 8.2.22 up again ~ gah! (lazy in July & ate whatever I wanted)
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    • Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
    • started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
    • Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
    • Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine :star: happy me
    • Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
    • Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidering due to knees on nature trails with rocks & trees roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill
    • watch for other events to add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    JFT Thursday
    1. Park walk if not raining. Maybe elliptical?
    2. School; reply to student comments. Read AI novel during planning.
    3. Duolingo. Alphabetize and turn in student forms.
    4. Reading - 30 min. Update Goodreads. Check MFP long-term.
    5. Write S&F!! Begin proposal.
    6. Finish writing book list script. Blog post.
    7. Organize office. Swear Jar: coffee bean analogy
    8. Evening: Library, tweetchats. Dinner: Salad! Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water! Update JFT.
    9. Bedtime: Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: crunches, push-ups, squats, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth. Lang8?
    10. Upcoming: Set up digital portfolio. Check with KS/JN/AR about presentation - ?? Design voter registration sign. Thursday postcards at library. Saturday YMCA, writing workshop, library volunteering, massage, get new sneakers.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: 207.6

    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 GR purchase list.
    2. E2: 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. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
    6. Medical: Dentist July 11 10 AM. PCP Oct 21 10:30 TEL. Therapy 7/28 8A. Obgyn Oct 14 12:45.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 16 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? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. SO tired.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    Food logging wasn’t super accurate today because I lost track of how much junk food I ate, but I know I at least got close to my daily goal. Did terrible on water consumption though. Need to do better tomorrow to try and stay on track

    Have a great Wednesday!

    Skipped trivia last night. Instead we went shopping for some pots & pans for Sierra and her friends. Got a really good deal on a nice stainless steel set at Kohls, then added a set of Teflon frying pans, a cookie sheet and a cooling rack. We were pretty happy with our choices. Went out for Mexican food. I stuck to my guns. No chips and no alcohol. Yay me. Unfortunately, Sierra was upset that we bought her stuff. For some reason she gets weird when we buy her nice things. She feels like she doesn't deserve them or something. I don't get it. What she doesn't understand is that if makes us feel useful to help her. We don't think she is a leech, we are able to help so we do. So odd. Anyway, we said if there wasn't room for them in her new apartment, we could return them. But now I'm thinking we just keep them for V when she gets an apartment. They really were a good deal, on sale + 20% off coupon so I got the Cuisinart 11 piece set for less than $150.

    Not feeling great today, I actually had to sit down and take a break in the middle of straightening my hair this morning. I'm just drained. I think I'm a bit dehydrated. I had very little to drink the past couple of days, and almost no water in that little bit. No plans for this evening other than going to mom's and sorting bills. Oh I have a doc appt at 4:20. Hope I don't forget it. It got rescheduled from last week due to the doc having a family emergency. Just a bunch of work stuff and meetings during the day. Just one more day this week and then I get to have some fun at the River, Trails & Ales Festival this weekend.

    Goals for 8/11
    - eat at least 1500 calories
    - Yoga

    That’s it. 1500 calories might not seem like a lot but it’s more than I usually manage to eat in a day, so I’ll count it as a win if I can manage that much. I want that scale to start moving up - or at least stay the same and not go down. I don’t understand why this is so hard.

    “Treated myself to a rattan egg chair heavily discounted at the supermarket. I’ve always fancied one of those. DH said it could be an anniversary present for last month.”

    DH thinks my new chair is too big for where I want to put it. We shall see! If he wants it moved, he will have to clear his gardening ‘toys’ out of the summerhouse and fix it up 😝
    Incidentally, we got another £30 off the price because the bolts to put it together were far too short. DH has a garage full of those sort of things as he’s a great handyman, but he didn’t tell that to the vendor.

    Walking dog this morning, saw beautiful doe & two fawns come out of woods and walk along edge, right by the road we were on. A fourth deer saw us and stayed hidden in the woods. We got within 25 feet of them before one fawn spooked and leapt into woods, followed by the other, then the mama. Good start to the day.
    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    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 track daily on a separate app (for the visual). 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 ~
    • 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
    • 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
    • 3.31.22 maintaining not gaining
    • 4.30.22 barely maintaining
    • 5.31.22 ack
    • 6.30.22 ups & downs in June, but no worse at end of month
    • 8.2.22 up again ~ gah! (lazy in July & ate whatever I wanted)
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    • Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
    • started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
    • Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
    • Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine :star: happy me
    • Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
    • Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidering due to knees on nature trails with rocks & trees roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill
    • watch for other events to add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Hour commitment - After I finish my salad, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. I can still have my dose of metamusal.
