@cschmitz110515 - that must have made your husband feel good.
I think you made a wise decision not to walk tomorrow.
@Bea98321 - coming here every night is like a Buddy only more of us.
@more_freggies76 - I admire how you keep your food straight.
@pridesabtch - sorry you’ve had a rough couple of days at work. It must be going around.

Yesterday, I logged all food, but went over. My goal was to just log anyways. But today, I wanted to hit my calorie goal and did it! My weigh days are on Monday mornings and looking forward to this Monday.

5. Housework: Put laundry away. Actually, I might need a nap XD
6. Afternoon: Volunteering at library!
7. Evening: Tweetchat. Dinner: Soup. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water! Chop celery. Update JFT.

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: 200.4
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. Weekend. I might actually skip some stuff and take a nap. :P2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.2 -
Happy Saturday y'all!
JFT Saturday

Got off to a slow start yesterday, so I didn't exercise.
I could have used the extra calorie allowance. The rain didn't help, but I took a nap after lunch and rallied for the Friday festivities.
My oldest grandson is an adventurous eater and likes to help me cook. Yesterday we made pork and ginger dumplings for a sort of Lunar New Year/Olympics kickoff dinner. He helped make the dough and the filling, and my daughter and husband lent a hand stuffing and sealing. It was quite a production but lots of fun. We ordered the rest of the meal from the local Chinese restaurant. I ate too much, but since I didn't have much earlier in the day, it wasn't too bad.
One of my biggest challenges with food is that I really enjoy cooking for family and friends. I especially like planning the menus around a theme and trying new recipes. Of course, I also like eating all kinds of things, and the calories can quickly get out of hand. Getting back to daily logging has definitely helped me to pay more attention to portion sizes and search out lower calorie recipes, but sometimes it feels like I spend too much time thinking about what I'm eating or going to eat. Sigh...
Ah, well. Better get off the computer and get some things done today. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Hi all, I just wanted to say how much I really appreciate this thread, and I apologize if I don't comment much on your posts. Anyway, just suffice it to say I appreciate you all and that I don't feel alone in this effort with you here. Please don't take any offence if I don't comment much; it's just a little overwhelming and some of you have a long(er) history together. My social skills in the chit-chat and networking area are not as good as they should be. I do try to answer any posts which mention me.
@Snowflake1968 - Thank you for your comment. I really use JFT and Hour Commitments to be mindful and more truthful. As I've explained before, I used to say "I wasn't going to do something" so often and then just not keep the promise to myself. (Mostly in the food part of my life) Writing it out to you all and the ether serves to give it more weight (and for me, hopefully less weight!). Thank you for being here.3 -

Another busy week for me. Out most of Wednesday. Grocery shopping am, then our lunch out. I got mixed up. This one was our Garden Group friends. The Dance Group lunch is Mon 21 Feb. We are going to the Members Dining Room in Stormont, (NI Parliament Buildings).
On Thursday afternoon I went to Shakespeare Study meeting. We finished Richard II. Next month we are looking at A Winter’s Tale.
On Friday afternoon I went to Parchment Craft. I started a Valentine card for DH.
Yesterday I had to take my car for it’s annual MOT, which it passed.

@cschmitz110515 😝 That comeuppance must have made your husband feel good. 👍🏻 giving up 5k. Knees can be so temperamental
@pridesabtch Juggling self care with family and other needs can be a nightmare at times. I remember it well. Deep breaths, my dear!!! 😂
I feel for those of you who are trying to maintain normality for our youngsters, both at home and at school. As an ex teacher, I know only too well how unappreciated we often are. But we should feel proud of what we do for our young people.
Likewise, those in the caring profession.
The pandemic is having far reaching effects on so many people.

Your post was lovely!
And don't worry about not being able to reply to people's post.
We like your posts and glad your here! Honestly a lot of newcomers don't always stay, but you have and that's great.
It's probs our "history" that puts people off lol because it's like we all know eachother.
But there was a day where I was the newcomer and everyone was welcoming and I just fit right in with everyone else, which you have too!4 -

Yesterday was another quiet, lazy Saturday. Skipped the exercise bike and went to look at tile for the small shower we're renovating, then took a long nap after lunch. Watched the women's hockey team and lots of snowboarding, but I did manage to squeeze in a bit of grading and straightened up the kitchen. Stuck to simple meals and a couple of small snacks.
Today's another frigid day, but at least the sun is shining. That and yesterday's rest have me feeling refreshed, so I'll try to gear up for the week ahead without undoing the calm.
Recap - Saturday 2/5
Log -
Balanced meals - Could have done without the last snack, but I stayed under calories and was only a little over on sodium.
Stay hydrated -
2 chores - Just 1
Indoor bike - No
Grading -
Bed by midnight - Nope. Stayed up to watch more snowboarding.

No recap since I didn't post on Sat. Would've been the usual anyway.
@more_freggies76 I say ditto to what @Bex953172 said! Happy you're here and posting.
Often I, too, do not feel like I have the right words to say here. That and I don't always have time, or just take breaks from all things technology, especially social media, which can be such a time-sucker. But I do click on Like and Hug for most of the posts, just to let the OP know someone is here reading and supporting.
my JFTers, new and not-so-new! Thanks for your support!
JFT Sunday 2/6
1) Church 9:00
2) Move hourly
3) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
4) Order bday gift for ex-roomie / write/mail bday card / grocery shop & Sam's with hubby / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?
5) PT exercises / alternate ice & heating pad
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren gel / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work)
Regarding hubby's former workplace, I think I was more tickled that his former co-worker was fired than hubby was. LOL
Kind of by accident, I started decluttering more lately. I have good intentions, but decluttering always needs to be done, I fear. Recently I needed to find past race results for a Bellin Run/Walk 10K survey, since of course the early races were not recorded digitally. I knew I had records... somewhere. While searching, I started to declutter. I have been whittling away in small spurts since. Btw, found my race results, and counting last 2 years of virtual events (which they said to include), I have finished 25 of the 45 annual races. About 2 dozen people have done every single one. Wow.About me: CarmelaWord for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship
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)
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
- 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
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 basement4 -
@cschmitz110515 - Thank you!
Hour commitment - After I finish my yogurt and dose of metamusal, I won't eat again until after 5 pm.2
