JFT Monday 11th April
Log everything yes, although a couple of educated guesses
Stay in the green just 10 cals over
Back exercises no
Foot exercises no
More laundry yes
More house clearing oh yes
Banking for son he didn't give me the details in time, so pushed forward until today
I didn't plan properly yesterday, only decided evening meal at the last minute, it was okay for calories though. I would have been under, but you can't say no to a 3 year old who's made you an Easter egg shaped cookie.
Today I have movers in at parents packing thousands of books. A bit of progress. It's been tough getting ready for them though, my hands are really rough with little cuts and my back and neck ache. Looking forward to getting the job finished.
It's only 10am and already grandson is being a little horror.

Happy Tuesday my friends!! ⭐🕺⭐4 -
Hi, this group looks so inspirational!
I am from WV. 33 years old, mom of 2, married to my college sweet heart, and prek teacher.
I have been telling myself just to focus on today for a little over a month and this is best I've experienced weight loss. Its mot as much pressure and I'm enjoying the process.
My word for this year is self-love. I can love myself by eating healthier, drinking water, and being active in a way that brings me joy.
I deserve to treat myself in healthy ways.
Today I will practice self love with drinking water, and water aerobics.5 -
Got off to a slow start yesterday. I'm hoping to get a bit more done today.

End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
End of 2021: 194.4
Today: 207.0
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.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Mar 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?

Back exercises only the easy ones
Foot exercises yes
Ironing yes, pleased to get it all done in one day (split into 3 sessions)
Bank for son pushed forward again
Admin just a bit
It's taking all my willpower not to snack when I get home. Seeing the mess that parents house is now in, and all the things they kept that the house clearers are throwing out is not pleasant. And grandson is being very difficult...again! I know it's just a habit to turn to food, so I'm making a huge effort not to. It helps that I don't have much of my favourite treats in the house, and I'm getting better at looking in the cupboard and not taking anything out. Next step...not looking in the cupboard lol.

Had a busy day today. I'm shattered.
Kids finished school for Easter at 1.30pm today. So me and my friends took all our kids to the park. There's a few different sections of the park, so a fitness gym thing, a "music area" which had like huge pipes you could hit to make different sounds, wooden logs that rock but make whistling sounds, things like that. And then the main park area with swings, small kids climbing frames, mini trampolines and merry go round. There's also big rope climbing frame there with a huge slide from the top but Casey was too small to climb it so I had to climb it with her and pull her up and then climb some more then pull her up again then push her up to the top. At that point I figured it would be easier (and safer) to climb the rest myself and slide down the slide. My friends thought it was hilarious. So we did that, then played a bit of football with them afterwards on the field.
We were there for about 2 hours and then walked home around normal school finishing hours.
But one of our children got left behind at some point (there was 9 kids!) So after about 10 minutes when we realised he was missing (he's just turned 4 so Casey's age, they're in the same class) panic mode set in and I just legged it to the last place I remembered seeing him after we checked out immediate surroundings. And I found him. He was fine still playing with his toys but my friend was distraught. Not what any of us needed after a long time at the park. We were all knackered.
But everything turned out okay thankfully and we've not let that one accident ruin the day.
Deffo got my exercise and steps in today. I need to start wearing my watch again for more accuracy.
Although, what could I log the park as in terms of exercise. I was literally all over the place. Pushing the swings but I do it full pelt cause my kids love going super high. I went up the climbing frame twice and ran around after the football. How do you even log that. (Another reason I should wear my watch again!)
Hope everyone else has had a good day x

I use circuit training on my Fitbit for my physical therapy exercises and back when I did my home version of circuit & weights.0 -
Just a quick update: Himmit and I have made it safely to Arizona. God made our way smooth the whole way, several miracles in my book. Because we are moving to raw land, we have several more obstacles to overcome before we can even begin to rest. Everything is a struggle, including a simple internet search for one service/place for example (electricity, signal, time. etc). Although we have been through many struggles in a short time, we have been blessed and guided by God, I think. We are still pushing through and hoping in HIS mercy. Hopefully soon HE will give us a break. For now, it seems like every single task is met with some sort of struggle. People have welcomed us, which is nice. I've been working out, not regular exercises but loading and doing work on land and road. I'm sunburnt but hopeful. We've met a few neighbors and also a few of our four legged neighbors (most harmless except the snakes). We're in high desert and it's really beautiful here. The stars are breathtaking.
I probably won't be using My Fitness Pal much in the many weeks to come. If you can, tag or message me somehow. Signal, electricity, time, gas, water etc being what they are this is not a priority for me.
If you mention me I might miss it. It's not intentional. Thank you for your understanding.
Hope y'all are well!2 -

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).

10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Dinners?

Totally agree!
Don't worry about being away for a bit, this wouldn't be my priority either!
But we'll see you again when you're all set up and on your feet! Good luck and glad you made it there safely!
I wish I could see the sky you're seeing, I love the stars!1 -

Log everything no
Stay in the green no
Back exercises no
Foot exercises no
Bank? Shopping? yes x 2
Make big decision re business, been putting this off no
Admin yes
That is a lot of Nos, didn't do well. It looks like I did nothing all day, but I actually was busy all day!
This is just a stressful week, it will be better once parents house is empty, going through stuff is dragging me down. Last night I shared a chinese meal with sons, I chose chicken chop suey in the hope it was better than some other options. Needless to say, the scales are way up this morning. I haven't had one for years, I was put off after I got food poisoning once.
I spent a couple of hours with pen and paper, doing pros and cons, finances, and researching online, but still didn't make my decision. Basically do I retire completely because I think I can afford to, or keep doing my holiday let to earn extra money. I have one more week before I have to commit to releasing 2023 dates. I need a crystal ball!

@MrsHermit Nice to hear from you ... and enjoy those beautiful stars! Keep in touch whenever you can .. we are all thinking of you and wish you the best.
@bex - glad you are feeling better
I will try and read back more tonite .. I am so far behind again with posting!
I've been off track again .. but .. I am still doing the challenge with meal planning. But I know my weight will be up from last friday.
Tomorrow I am having 5 cubic yards of compost delivered .. so I will get my workout in! It'll be a big pile on the driveway .. I have to haul it back to all my flower beds! But .. that means I can start getting my seedling in the ground, and plant some flowers and flower seeds!
SO JFT, Thurs
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. april challenge .. tonite is leftover chicken made into chicken chimigianas
4. take daughter to court .. she got stopped without having her drivers license or insurance card.. so court date is tonite. Just hope it does not cost too much!
5. clean house .. get out easter stuff

Meal Planning: Day 13/302 -
Just so disorganized today - a million things to do and no clear plan for getting them done. I still haven't been to the post office. At least I'm done with classes for the week.
I cut corners on breakfast, so I'm sitting here eating cookies to take the edge off and rationalizing: Two Tate's oatmeal raisin cookies have the same number of calories as the yogurt I usually have. As long as I only have two, I should be fine. I can add more protein and skip the bread at lunch to balance things out a bit.
But...it's 80 degrees and an early dismissal day. The grandkids will be coming over, and we'll probably take them for ice cream. And I don't have a dinner plan yet. (Inner conflict: Not takeout! - But I'm so tired already. - NOT takeout!)
Well, I guess I should post some goals.
JFT Thursday, 4/14
Log
Hydrate
Get something done
Cook something reasonably healthy for dinner
