    Saturday Success:? Umm..I got to go out with some old highschool friends. It was a good time. I haven't had time to really enjoy too much this semester. It's hectic.

    Sunday.. Don't remember the title of this one but i'll just blab. So, hopefully tomorrow I find out about the internship. I'm going to be so happy if I either get an offer or a second interview. It'd make my day and even my week. :)

    PS. Are we moving to another thread soon?

    Hey guys!

    Sunday Share:
    So I made the decision to go for a long run vs. the gym. Got ready to go and waited for a lull in the rain. Got out of my gate with gunner. AND IT STARTED POURING. :angry: We ended up just doing a quick walk around the block (Gunner hates the rain), and I was soaked to the bone when we got home, so no gym either. I will do core tonight and go to the gym tomorrow after school.

    Grading goals for the week ahead:
    1. 7/22 AP essays
    2. x/22 punctuation tests (started these--plan to finish them while watching TV tonight)
    3. x/58 Thoreau essays
    4. x/22 2 paragraph responses
    5. finish section 2 of Montana 1948

    So Walking Dead season premiere is on tonight!! So excited!!! :happy:

    That reminds me of people I miss:

    roozombie (zombie show made me think of you)
    helenatrandom
    datenshi
    doug
    robynt
    lhawkins

    almost added karenleona, but I see you popped in. :smile: We are rainy too--not very conducive to exercise. :ohwell:
  • best of luck to grandmakaye and aug on your surgeries and to morgori on quitting smoking!

    I got called today to go in for an interview tomorrow morning at 10! Super excited, although I'm not entirely certain what the job entails... even though I just re-read the description. I will have some questions, for sure. Now, if I can just figure out what to wear....
  • btw, to all you teachers out there... do any of your schools have a "behavior intervention specialist?" if so, what does s/he do?

    @lmack--teaching upper levels, I don't get a lot of behavior issues, but it sounds like someone who would work with teachers to help manage students with behavior disorders. I would guess that position could take on a lot of different forms--as someone to help in the classroom, as a resource person who pulls kids out of class for one-on-one interventions, or even as a resource to the teachers (rather than someone who works directly with the students).
  • @skinnyjeanz thanks for your reply. The job description suggests that i would do all those things, plus data collection and reports, plus work with parents, plus network with outside providers. I guess I will just have to ask what a typical day looks like, to get a sense of how much is direct student support versus other activities/responsibilities.

    My daughter made an absolutely amazing dinner for us tonight. I really enjoyed it, and much to my surprise, I still came in under points.

    @Skinnyjeans - thanks for the boost. Yep, I *will* get back on track.... I just have to put my mind to it.
    @Andrea - Glad to see you back, and glad your husband's surgery went well. Sending good juujuu that all your medical things come out successful!
    @Robin, Lin, Chris & everyone else - Thank you for being such a strong inspiration for folks.

    Sunday Share - life is starting to settle down, and hopefully my emotions will settle down as well. I'm a terrible emotional eater, and it's kicked me off my path for a little bit. Did a bit of 'retail therapy' this weekend (ok, my other vice) and I'm feeling motivated.

    Ok, I should clarify - "retail therapy" is not what you might think - I nabbed a great dress at Goodwill, and undies at a warehouse sale at the Fredericks outlet. I actually can't bring myself to pay real retail prices! I'm a thrift store/yardsale/outlet addict.:laugh:

    Have an outstanding week, everyone!

    We have a behavior intervention specialist at our school. Her job is to find out who our students that are not being successful in the Tier process are and to get them the help they need. Our specialist is fabulous and she really cares about the kiddos. :)

    Hello Everyone, :smile:

    @Vicki-- I really enjoy shopping at thrift stores its so fun to find that good find.:wink:

    @Big Aug and @Kaye -- Saying prayers for your surgeries tomorrow! :flowerforyou:

    @Christine-- Hope you had fun at your DS and DIL's today,

    @skinny so did you enjoy your run outside? We are having beautiful weather here. Enjoying as much outside as I can get.

    @MyMOwMOw--- I am glad you forced yourself out for that walk it does help not only phyically but mentally too.

    @Tom -- good job on quitting it is a process good for you on trying..

    Good day overall did a good job on food and was able to take Bella outside for her walk. I went to my settings and change it my goal has been 2lbs a week now it is 1lb. It is sort of scarey too me to do this but I think it will help. But it sort of startling seeing the number they gave me for calories allow daily seems like too much to loose weight so will see how it goes.

    Today was a 1st I didn't loose anything stay the same I knew this could happen but still didn't sit easy with me. But at least I didn't go up.

    Sorry if I miss you best of thoughts and wishing everyone a goodnight.

    Sorry I have been MIA this weekend. Fairly on track though. Busy trying to get ready for NYC trip which has been delayed for a few days. That's good because I was not ready. Been training someone to handle my shipping while I am gone.

    A little about me. I run a sucessful EBAY store out of my home. My hubby helps me

    Yes, we have one for our district. We have ten elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, and he works for all of them. For the students with behavior issues, he observes and meets with students, consults with teachers and special educators, contacts parents, consults with principals and outside agencies, coordinates/writes functional behavior assessments, helps develop behavior intervention plans, and purchases rewards for students on behavior plans. That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

    @liz ~ Changing your goal from 2 lbs. to 1 lb. per week might be just what you need to keep losing. When I belonged to Curves, their diet had three phases. It was similar to the South Beach diet. I started out on Phase 1 for one week. On that phase, I ate high protein/low carbs, and I was VERY limited on carbs. Then I went to Phase 2 and was allowed more carbs. I stayed on Phase 2 until I reached a plateau. Then Phase 3 started. On Phase 3, I ate anything I wanted. Believe it or not, I continued to lose on Phase 3 for a couple weeks but then started gaining. As soon as I gained, I went back to Phase 1 and started over. It messed with your metabolism or something and really worked. The problem with me was, when I went to Phase 3, I had a very hard time going back to Phase 1. I remember being on Phase 2 and had not lost for awhile, but I didn't want to go to Phase 3 because I knew how much trouble I always had going back to Phase 1. We went out to eat at a Japanese restaurant, and I ate a great big bowl of fried rice. I couldn't believe it when I got on the scales and lost that week! Anyway, bumping up your calories might be just what you need to jump start your body to lose again, as weird as it sounds! (BTW, I lost 70 pounds on that diet but went to Phase 3 and never could bring myself to go back to Phase 1! Hence, I gained about 40 pounds which is what brought me to MFP!)
