Weβve been staying indoors and keeping curtains pulled and windows open. We live on the coast so arenβt having the really high temps, but as you say weβre neither used to it or equipped for it.1 -

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: 210.6
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 July 7 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?

I missed last night. Today was a crap day and I ate like it too. I think Iβll just start tomorrow again.3 -
Didnβt meet my goals for yesterday - only got halfway there for both of them. If Iβd stuck with my plan I would have been okay, but I came home from work with no appetite and even less desire to cook.
Same goals for today: 15 grams of fiber and 40 oz of water1 -

Houses in the UK are designed to hold in heat, the average person doesn't have AC and fans are essentially just blowing around hot air right now
If the fan is just a portable one you can try putting a bowl of ice cubes right in front of it and it supposedly cools the air down a little bit. Not sure how the same thing would work if itβs a ceiling fan though. Heat and humidity are awful, I live on the East Coast of the US so we have this kind of weather every summer. Good luck and stay safe!
No it's one that's on a stand, although I've seen a "hack" where people are attaching ice pops too them lol! And then just refreeze them when they've melted. I'm just out of icepops and when I get them the kids just wanna eat them haha0 -

Happy Monday y'all!
Did well yesterday, especially for going out to dinner. Had grilled salmon Caesar salad with Italian dressing on the side. Did not eat any of the super yummy rolls. Did not even eat a crouton. I know one won't kill me, but I don't think I can eat just one. Tim had to work late, so he missed the dinner. Missed some of my small meals during the day yesterday, so I was really hungry by dinner, but I stayed on plan, and didn't binge when I got home.
Today is a very stressful day at work. We have customers in for an audit. Unfortunately, they are not particularly happy customers which makes the day longer. They aren't getting here until noon, but I have a ton of meetings this morning. Wish me luck, it's my first time being audited without my mentor here to cover my *kitten*.

Goal for the day was 15 grams of fiber and 40 oz of water. Didnβt get close on either one. If my dinner had actually turned out edible then the fiber probably would have been okay - but it turned out gross so now I have no healthy leftovers to eat for the rest of the week and have to go to the grocery store YET AGAIN tomorrow. And I also threw food and money down the drain.
I guess Iβll set the same goals for tomorrow: more fiber and more water.2 -

Have a happy Tuesday y'all!
Yesterday's audit went very well. Much better than expected actually. We were able to answer the customer's questions and put them at ease about future product coming out of our facility after a massive contamination issue we had in the beginning of the year. They weren't staying in town last night so no dinner out. Instead I had a turkey burger and some roasted broccoli. Kinda boring, but on plan and filling. Tonight I'm going to try going out to the bar for trivia and not drinking... We'll see how that goes. I'll eat before I go, and drink water while there. I need to figure out how to do the things I enjoy and still stay on plan. As I told my husband, he just has a built in designated driver.

Hey everyone! Busy day today. Had to take Saskia to the opticians for minor eye injury. One eye has been small and sore and sensitive to light for 2 weeks. I initially thought it was hayfever but when I noticed it was just the one eye I rang the drs and they said go to the opticians as they have the right equipment. So, got her at 10.30am from school. They referred her to the specialist at the hospital and to wait for a call so she went back to school. I got the phonecall to go to the hospital at 4.30. so caught the bus there and my friend brought home the younger two to ash.
It was plastic. A small piece of plastic that had stuck to her eye and was basically stuck near her pupil. They had to use a numbing eye drop and then a cotton bud to try get it to shift. (And failing that she would have had to be put to sleep and she did NOT want that, and neither did I) It took about 25 minutes. She was so scared even though she couldn't feel it. But bless her, she was so brave and she sat on my knees saying "I can do it I can do it I can do it" over and over and bless her, she did it (the Dr said her bravery was so emotional and she was very proud)
She managed to move the plastic to a point where it will just clear itself. And she now has eye drops for the abrasion from where the plastic was. And a check up on Friday x2 -

Fiber and water consumption were both better than they were yesterday, although still not quite up to where Iβd like them to be. Also got a clean bill of health from the dentist today so my anxiety is hugely relieved.
Tomorrowβs goals will be to improve the fiber and water consumption over today.1 -

Happy Hump Day to all!
I did well yesterday, even went to pub trivia night without drinking. That's a first. I did rediscover the fact that I cannot play darts sober... I had a philly cheese steak salad at the bar, it was a little higher in calories than I'd planned, but it was good and not deep fried or high carb so that's a win in my book. Work was good yesterday, I got a lot done, but still ran short of things to do in the late afternoon.
Was actually on time for work today, but there was a fume alarm/iodine leak at the plant so I sat in my car in the parking lot for over an hour waiting for the all clear to sound. I did some on-line shopping while I waited. Ordered some baby stuff from my niece's Pottery Barn Baby registry. That stuff is pricey. I payed $50 for a hooded towel... also got some sheets, blankets and a stuffed Pooh bear. I could have gotten the stuff for 1/3 of the price at Target, but it's her first baby and this is what she wanted.
No real plans for today, just gotta go over to mom's to sort bills. Other than that I got nothing but a nap in my future.

Scale goals

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
End of 2021: 194.4
Today: 213.2
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 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. Trying not to despise myself. *sigh*2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.1 -
@Bex953172 - So sorry to hear about the eye problem. That's certainly frightening and she was brave. Sounds like the cornea was damaged a little, but those recover. Hang in there!1

@pridesabtch I giggled when I read about playing darts sober. I also shoot darts much better when I'm slightly buzzed (works opposite when I'm really drunk though, but that was years ago hahaha). As for baby shower, very nice that you bought the pricey stuff she wanted for her first. In a similar situation a few years ago, I was aghast at the mama's wish list to see a (very expensive) coffee maker ~ suggested by niece-in-law's sisters, for those late night feedings. I did not buy, but bought cute baby stuff instead. I think the sisters ended up giving the coffee maker. Wowza.
I skipped a workout so I could drive to office early & prep/print my wellness incentive form (which I completely forgot about until bedtime last night) for doctor to sign, earns me $50. Went to my annual physical this morning fearing my weigh-in, and my doctor sincerely congratulated me on going from obese to overweight. I love her! Now let's see what the blood work says.
