    JFT Monday 1-31
    Keep up the habits! ❌
    Cleaning day, go go go! If done with bedroom goal, tackle balcony✔️❌
    blog post?✔️❌

    I did great on calorie goal Sunday, but went way over (more than expected) today with my choice of popcorn. I though it was low-cal? I guess that's a myth. Also, exercising and getting up early go hand in hand. Both or nothing.

    Goals for February (if streak is broken, start over; exception is Saturday)
    Get up at 6am, ready, prayer time, journal, sing a few songs
    Finish washing dishes after dinner, play music during task.
    Devices off 9:30pm; get ready bed, prayers, read, read to DH, crochet in bed with earbuds (peaceful music.

    JFT Tuesday 2-1
    Packing day, play music and focus
    print sheet music (other is packed) and enjoy still unpacked piano

    Yesterday JFT not posted. Started with dentist appt. in preparation for today's procedure, then quick stops for bread & essential groceries on way home, then packed up bday cake and left on 90 mile drive with hubby for my mom's 85th birthday celebration. All my sibs & spouses except 1 brother & his wife were there. Wonderful to be together. I ate pizza & bday cake, tried to log & numbers horrible. Oh well.

    JFT T 2/1
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / don't stress Fitbit numbers
    3) Net calories zero / 80 oz. water
    4) Submit month end PAR report / s-b system log-in fixed? / submit CPE with webinar summary form / catch up emails / OOO message
    5) Dentist 1:40
    6) Alternate ice & heating pad / any ta-da?
    7) Unplug 9:00 / Voltaren gel / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work)


    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 for bread & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
    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
    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
    • 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
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • 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
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Yesterday was pretty good. I started getting a headache in the evening, so I just kind of half-assed it at spin, but it was better than nothing. Went home and went to bed so the headache went away. I think it’s just tension in my neck causing them. Work has been rather stressful lately.

    Today we have a follow up appointment for V in Morgantown (2hr away), then we are going to drive another hour and see Sierra. It will be a quick visit, but a visit none the less.

    Hopefully, when I get home I’ll ride the Peleton, but you know how that goes. After a day of driving, 6+ hours in all. Will I be up to it? Who knows.

    Otherwise no big plans for today.

    JFT Tuesday

    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: 201.8

    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 significantly better.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    other blog post?❌
    make cookies or something✔️ Took me a half hour just to find all of the ingredients but I did it!
    Ended up having extra unexpected tasks but they didn't take forever. I also emphasized my desire for a couple of certain tasks in the morning, so got them done even though I didn't get up early (prayer, journal, exercise). I felt better about myself.

    Evening ended pretty okay even though I didn't craft or play music. The regular relatives' drama was set at a distance by DH so the after-phone-call-moodiness didn't occur, which was nice.

    I had a small win in that I only ate 1.5 cookies and a single brownie. It took what felt like forever to muster/find the ingredients (boxes-moving) and get things mixed but I did it! Also, I don't remember being so happy to find the container of cocoa powder before. (lifting and looking through heavy totes to find the ingredients).

    JFT Wednesday 2-2
    Cleaning day
    continue laundry
    get boxes/shop/order?
    catch up on dishes
    play piano
    craft for a half hour

    ready for internet change

    Hi all. Didn’t post yesterday as had some drama with the kids. Have read to catch up and sending everyone my best.

    Off work today- not sure how things will pan out. I took a rest day yesterday after running every day in January. Will try and get a run in today because mentally I need it. Otherwise just pushing on.

    Out early this morning to do weekly shopping. I bought myself some new gel pens as a reward for completing my January Habit every day last month.

    Today we are going to a farewell lunch for our dance group tutors, who are relocating to another town. They have led our group for over 7 years. We will miss them.

    Yesterday ended up being busier than anticipated. We ate lunch in Morgantown, then went to the Milkshake Factory in Pittsburgh with Sierra. Yeah, that would be where my calories went over... That and I didn't get home until after 9:00 so I didn't ride the damn bike. Have to ride tonight, or I will never reach my 2022 miles in 2022 challenge goal. I used to ride that in the summer alone, but I am in a different place right now. Anyway, it gives me some motivation to ride.

    Today is a busy day at work, and I can't believe it is only 10:00, I feel like it should be 12:00 with all of the crap I've gotten done so far. I did reschedule one meeting, because I just don't have the energy to audit the calibration books right now. Ugh, but I still need to do the January KPIs. Almost forgot those.

    Hopefully this evening will be less busy than yesterday evening and I'll get to ride. Even if I don't ride hard, some ride is better than no ride, right?

    Then there is the grocery, and dinner. I suppose I have to feed the kid at least. I think hubby is going to church this evening, but I'm doing a Tuesday Bible study so I'm passing on the Wednesday night one.

    Damn just remembered I need to schedule OT & PT for V as well as cancel one of her orthopedics appointments, somehow we double scheduled for March. OMG my head is spinning. It doesn't sound like much, but it is all swirling around up there...

    I had a lovely day enjoying the snow yesterday. My grandsons were off from school, so my daughter and I took them sledding at a local park. I raced the little one down the big hill a few times - what fun! - and got a bit of a workout walking back up. We wrapped up the adventure with a walk around the pond and some yummy hot cocoa.

    Overall, I've been in a bit of a mid-winter funk, struggling to focus on work and settle back into a routine after my break. I've got an odd schedule this semester with classes in both the 15 and 11 week semesters, half in person and half online. The hours are scattered as well, with most classes in the afternoon, so the challenge is to use my mornings efficiently. So far, I haven't been doing that.

    Like @clicketykeys I enjoy teaching and love my students, but some days it's an uphill battle. The pandemic has really had an impact on both academic skills and self-regulation, especially for younger students who were online during the transition to high school or college. Most of my students are college freshmen and sophomores, but I also teach high school students in the Early College and College Readiness programs. Many of my students are economically disadvantaged and continue to face challenges that make it harder for them to stay engaged and on track. The online classes are the toughest. I've got students logging into class on their phones from work. Some are distracted by younger children in their care. Most work, some at multiple jobs. Things are better in the in-person classes, but there too students struggle with time-management, persistence, and confidence. I can always rally for class, but it's exhausting. When I'm not teaching, I often don't even want to open up my laptop. (I apologize for being less engaged on JFT. That's something I need to work on as well.)

    Well, I guess I'd better finish my prep and get ready to leave for class. Maybe I can slip in a walk to clear my head afterwards. I've got to snap out of this funk and get some work done.

    Happy Wednesday everyone!
