Log into JFT
I had a fun, tiring, busy weekend. I really don’t want to go back to work tomorrow.
I hung out my my girls including my “adopted” one and her baby.
You look so happy!
Oops not really you, but from my phone it looked like you... Guess I'll just say that you sound happy!1 -
Mini-meals are working for me. They are pricey, and I'm getting used to the low carb approach they take. As I said before, I know its about the calories in < calories out, but this just makes it easier and it makes me more conscious of what I eat outside of the mini meals.
Family went to BW3 last night and instead of getting winds I made myself a buffalo chicken pizza on a cauliflower crust. It was actually really good. Last time I did the crust I didn't get it crispy in the middle so I was a little unsure about it. this time I pre cooked it for 10 minutes before adding the toppings and it turned out good. The brand is Outer Aisle and they are a great single serve size.
Oh, hubby wreck his bike Friday and messed up his right arm. I slept on the couch Friday and Saturday night, but he wanted me to sleep in the bed last night. BIG mistake. His trying to get comfortable drove me crazy. Did not sleep well!
In IATF Lead Auditor training all week. It's actually a really hard class with a test at the end I must pass. Luckily the instructors are nice and interesting so it's going by fast. Didn't feel like four hours so far. Hopefully that trend continues.

Even with two food-centered social events, I did pretty well with food choices over the weekend. Good intentions for today went a bit south when my daughter texted to say she was having a really rough day. I met her for lunch and then came back to the house and ate too many coconut macaroons while we talked. Guess I'll try to keep dinner light.
Still too hot and muggy for much in the way of yardwork or outdoor exercise. My garden is so dry - I'm hoping for a downpour, but none of the potential thunderstorms forecast during this heatwave have panned out.
@TerriRichardson112 - So sorry covid spoiled your plans to get together with your family.
@Bex953172 - Glad to hear that Saskia's eye will be okay.
@Snowflake1968 - What an adorable baby!
@pridesabtch - Glad to hear your new eating plan is going well. Sorry to hear about your husband's accident.1 -

Today is our 56th wedding anniversary. We had a lovely dinner tonight and opened a bottle of Prosecco. Didn’t bother tracking today, although probably not too much over calories and I have been banking them for over a week. 😝
@beachwalker99 Sorry about your cousin. (((Hugs))) and 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 for you and your family in the days ahead.
@pridesabtch I hope Tim gets over his bike accident quickly.
@Bex953172 Glad to hear that Saskia has no lasting damage to her eye.
Update on the relatives saga. BiL and niece have now also tested positive, so we definitely won’t be meeting up with them before we leave for Oxford on Wednesday.
Our daughter met with up with them both in a local park on Saturday, socially distancing, of course, but now we’re stressing that she might test positive.

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).

Half way through the day and forgot to even post goals for today
Duh
JFT Monday 25th
- Water water water ❌ got about half in
- log all food✔️ the good bad and ugly
- exercise
❌ noooo but been out to the shops with the kids, hit 10k steps
Bedtime snacking is becoming an issue. Well it's always been an issue. Really need to just stop and tell myself no. It really will hold me back everytime.
So day before yesterday I overate by 200 calories and yesterday I burned them off. But today I need to burn off another 200.
Once I've nailed eating below 1500 for a bit I'm gonna reduce it again to 1200. But need to stop the bedtime snacking for that.
JFT Tues 26th

Have a great day y'all!
Yesterday was just a bunch of training. It's not awful, but it makes for a long day. Stuck to my eating plan, and even cooked dinner last night, well most of it. I was carrying the steaks downstairs to grill (I've never grilled steaks) and Tim walked in the door. I decided it might be better if he did that part. I made fried squash, sautéed broccoli and mashed potatoes. We go heavy on the sides being that V is a vegetarian, and S isn't big on veggies. I skipped the mashed potatoes and squash and added a salad to my broccoli and steak. Everyone was happy and I didn't even make too much food! Other than that, cleaned up the kitchen then vegged on the couch. Really need to start laundry tonight.
With my new eating plan I am cooking more which is a huge benefit over eating out 4 days a week. It is good for the waist line and for the pocket book.
More training today, then nothing planned for the evening other than house work. Sierra will be out of town so dinner will most likely be leftovers. As there is enough for the three of us.

My only goal for today is to log all my food. I’m under so much stress right now, which is leading to low appetite, which is getting in the way of my weight gaining goals. But logging will still keep me accountable even if I don’t like the result2

@clicketykeys I'm right there with you, I like food. Too much, apparently.
Yesterday I had the day off work, went to visit Mom, Dad, & my aunt J. Aunt is leaving next week to return to Australia (she is dual citizen) & will see her hubby in person for first time in over 3 years. My sister & her hubby was supposed to join us, but on their Sunday bike ride, the trail had a downed tree & when they were moving it, her hubby was stung by at least 10 bees. After riding 2 miles to a park, fortunately there was another group of bikers, including several EMTs and a nurse, who helped when Jim collapsed. At the ER, the doc recognized them from my sister's bike vs. dog accident, when she badly broke her ankle 11 months ago (on the same trail).

So proud of myself
Got my waters in, didn't have any bed time snacks. I was a little hungry but I just kept drinking and got to sleep earlier.
It hit like 11pm and I hadn't done my arm exercises but I got up and did them then! I wanted my 3 ticks!
JFT Wednesday 27th

Yesterday, I finally got in a nice, long walk with my daughter and her boys. The water level in the lake and reservoir has dropped due to lack of rain, uncovering all kinds of interesting things for the boys to investigate. Tonight we're planning to go to the fair, so I'll get lots of steps in again. Fortunately, it's supposed to be a bit cooler with no rain (although we could really use it), so it should be a pleasant evening capped with fireworks.
I haven't been logging, but I also haven't done too badly. Despite a lot of extra treats and some flat out poor food choices this month, I've managed to keep portions reasonable and balance the not so healthy stuff with fresh produce and lean protein at most meals. I'm up a little more than a pound compared to last month, and I'm okay with that. If I can minimize the weight creep for another month, I can get back to a weight loss routine in September.
Recap Tuesday, 7/26
Balanced meals - Good choices for meals and a couple of small snacks.
Hydrate -
Exercise -
2 chores - No

- Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine happy me
- Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
- Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
- will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept)

Logged all my food and didn’t do as terribly as I thought. Still high stress from work and some ongoing health issues (if anything it’s higher today than it was yesterday) and very low appetite. It’s 11am and I’ve still barely had any water either. Goal for today is just to survive the work day without falling too much further behind. Still going to log my food too.

He is getting his arm checked today to see if it's his bicep or rotator cuff that he screwed up. Right now he looks and kind of acts like a T-rex.
Bike is likely ok, but I gave it to the shop to check out and haven't heard back yet.1 -

Didn’t do quite as badly as I thought today. Still going to bed with a really bad headache though from eye strain and stress. Goals for tomorrow are to drink more water than I did today, and try to find the energy to work on finding a new job because my current one sucks.1

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
End of 2021: 194.4
Today: 211.6
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 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.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.
