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: 202.6
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? Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Feb 8 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. I've had a lovely break. Tomorrow is going to be a little fuller as a result, but that's okay.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.4 -

Hit most of my goals yesterday, but weight is still up. Diet was within calories this weekend, but very high in sodium and mass. I'm sure I didn't gain 3 pounds over the weekend, but it's still discouraging to see.
Crazy busy day today, I can't really even wrap my head around it.

@pridesabtch and @Snowflake1968 Hang in there! I hope work gets better for both of you.
@beachwalker99 I loved reading about your cooking. How wonderful! One of my goals when I retire (sometime 9 months to 2 years from now) is to review my many, many recipes that I want to try, and actually try them.
@TerriRichardson112 Thank you for your lovely comments!

1) Church 9:00
2) Move hourly 1st day 10K since 5K race day when I wrecked my knee, 15 floors & 11/14
3) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
no more bday cake for me, still -351, sodium high (I know what), fiber & protein good, calcium low-ish, 64 oz.
4) Order bday gift for ex-roomie / write/mail bday card / grocery shop & Sam's with hubby / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? TA-DA
5) PT exercises too busy/lazy / alternate ice & heating pad
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren gel / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work) = 4/6

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.

- 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
- will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
- will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
- will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced

- watch for other events to add
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 basement3 -

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). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (helps me visualize). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

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: 200.2
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 May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Feb 8 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. Today was full but good.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.2 -

@MLHC1 - that’s how I got myself back into a routine. Just posting regardless if I was accomplishing anything or not.
@pridesabtch - my scale was up this morning too by about 3lbs. I’m blaming it on the lack of water this weekend.
@cschmitz110515 - are you looking forward to retirement?
@AJB1014 - I can’t believe he is 2 already. We had birthday celebrations here this weekend too. My babies are 33 and 31 now. 😩
Made it through the day. I’m seriously considering asking for Friday off. I’m tired and this would give me 2 long weekends in a row.
Or I wait and have a 4 day weekend next weekend.
@clicketykeys - you mentioned think pink. It reminds me I need to make a pink shirt for this month.
There are currently 17 cases of Covid in the residents in my Mom’s home. So far she hasn’t been positive. The isolating in her room must be incredibly hard on her.

@Snowflake1968 - What are you going to do with your shirt? "Think pink" is our school's security mnemonic; in the security system's color-code, pink is the color you check when you've arrived in the classroom, it's secure, and that's where your students will be for the day.2

Really need to get back on it. "Determination" was my Word of the year and I don't have any at the minute.
I'm starting again tomorrow.
Got to start again somewhere.
Starting fresh!4 -
I haven't posted for a bit, I've not been focussed on my diet. My mother died and I've had a lot to deal with as next of kin. Regulars on here may remember that she wanted to go and it was difficult for me to keep being told she wanted to die. Pretty sure she didn't want to catch covid and end up in hospital with no family allowed to visit though. So while I can comfort myself that she got what she wanted, I feel very bad at not being with her at the end. It is what it is though.
I'll be busy for a while dealing with being her executor. I've also had to fit in a few days away to finish the repairs to my holiday let after the storm damage. And I have a very cluttered and full house to empty and sell. I will do my best not to complain too much!
I know I really need to get back to losing weight so I'm going to start posting again even if I'm not feeling it. I know I'll slowly get back into the swing of things, being on here focusses the mind.
Today I need to go into town to mum's bank, and I'll go grocery shopping. I will not eat anything when out, I will wait until I can eat properly at home.
I'll spend the afternoon filling in forms, sorting out paperwork and bringing my notes up to date.

I've had a quick read back but can't remember everyone I wanted to reply to. I do recall
@cschmitz110515 Love it when karma does it's job! Hope your knees recover soon.
@AJB1014 I can't believe your wee boy is 2 already! It shows how long I've been on here trying to lose weight lol. I remember the photo you posted of him, he was such a beautiful baby!
@more_freggies76 Don't worry if you can't reply to posts, I think we all use this thread slightly differently. I enjoy reading your posts, and you're doing a good job keeping the thread going.
@pridesabtch Sorry you are so busy at work, hope it calms down soon. Sorry...I laughed at your goal to train an idiot!
@MLHC1 lots of green ticks there, good going considering you've being feeling discouraged.
@Snowflake1968 I have everything crossed that your Mom doesn't catch covid. I don't know which variant you have at the moment, here it's omicron, which seems to be milder. The other residents who caught it in my Mum's care home all had cold symptoms and recovered. It was worse for my Mum as the cancer she'd had for some years had affected her lungs, even catching a cold could lead to pneumonia.

@littleblackskirt My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your mum. I remember you've been dealing with both parents in the last year or more. (((HUGS)))
@MLHC1 Glad to see you post JFT again. No worries about making comments! I don't know how you do all that! Thanks for the reminder to take knee recovery slowly... I've been itching to get back to walking 3-4 miles, getting out with dog as snow & ice melts, thinking of my yearly distance challenge, etc. But I really don't want to go backwards with healing!
@Snowflake1968 Yes, hubby and I are both looking forward to retirement. We have lots of interests we never seem to have time for, and doing things as simple as home improvements or repairs. Just take life at a slower pace. The main worry I have is health insurance. Here in the U.S. I must enroll in Medicare (a complex challenge itself) at age 65, and since hubby is younger, we have to figure out insurance for him if I quit my job b/c I'm enrolled in my employer's medical insurance for the both of us.
@AJB1014 Happy birthday to your little one!
@Bex953172 Glad to see you back too!3 -

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.

- 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
- will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
- will register for Packers 5K when July details announced

9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement1 -
I haven't been around much - we're on vacation!
I did my weigh in on Sunday:Starting Weight (July 8, 2021): 212.9 lbs
February Starting Weight: 196.6 lb
February Goal Weight: 190 lb
Ultimate Goal Weight: 125 lb
02/06: 195.7 (- 0.9)
02/13:
02/20:
02/27:
Total loss/gain for February: - 0.9
I'm not really tracking, but we did a ton of walking yesterday and I feel like I made pretty good food choices. I don't know if I'll get around to tracking much throughout the rest of the week, but I'm going to try and continue that mindfulness so I can see the scale drop when we get home
We went to Bok Tower Gardens - a botanical garden/nature preserve full of flowers and amazing architecture!
There's an instrument inside the tower with about 40 bells that is played by someone on a keyboard, like an organ! If you're ever in Florida, I definitely recommend checking it out6 -

Happy Monday, y'all!
Not everyone stuck to my schedule. Ended up not leaving work until 7:30pm. Missed the 6:00 spin class. Hadn't eaten since 11:00 so I did have a snack before I rode. Let me tell you, I had to force myself onto that "damn bike", but I'm glad I did. Then I pretty much didn't want dinner because I needed to rest a bit. I think I finally ate around 9:30pm. It was a light dinner though. Then I watched the Olympics and crashed on the couch. Hubby woke me up to go to bed, but I didn't want to move so I stayed there. It is a very comfy couch.
Today is not starting off well, but I'm trying not to flip out on people. I had meeting overlapping with meetings overlapping with visitors arriving, and all before 10:30am. I am taking a few minutes now to eat and type this. Then it's off to the other area to inspect the packaging area, well after the 11:00 meeting. Damn, I gotta get software installed over here today... Deep breath...
Other than work stuff very little is getting done.

One of my reasons for not commenting to everyone is usually lack of time or even forgetting how to type out everyone's unique name. So, I went through JFT and made a list of 2022 JFTers (in no particular order).

While doing this, it occurred to me, when did I originally join JFT.....I believe it was 2017!! Then I thought, how neat it would be if we had the year joined next to these names, Lol!! If anyone is interested in sharing, I'll add the date to my list in my notes. (Just thought it was neat bc this group has been going for awhile.)

I've been really MIA also ... but.. I have been really concentrating on what and when I eat. Really trying to drink water in the evening. When I lost 38# in 2018 .. I thought back of WHAT I did to accomplish that goal.
One of the main things was not snack in the evening ... I carried my glass of water with me all the time. So this is what I am doing .. HA.. I am on day 2!
Part of the reason MIA if you guys could please pray for our daughter. She has been progressively getting worse since Christmas, and now we are worried she is suicidal.. which she told me last nite she was. She cries a lot, which breaks this moms heart. She lives alone, and while we are fortunate she only lives 3 miles from us, when she gets bad she does not come out. So I try and call .. no answer. Its been hard. Yesterday put a call into the doctor .. they have also been trying to reach her for her 3 month app, but the doctor did increase one of the meds. So if you could say a prayer please.
So I keep busy sewing .. little bears for hospitals, and now fidget quilts. You guys remember for years I sewed chemo hats .. taking a break and doing something different.
Goals for today will be simple
1. log my food
2. no eating in evening
3. water6 -
@littleblackskirt I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember through the years how much you cared for her and loved her. My deepest sympathy.. losing a parent is so hard. Hugs
