I was a dork yesterday and completely forgot to bring stuff home. And the next time I'll get to go to the library is Monday. Can I remember that long? hahahah I dunno... And I've got a TON of grading that needs to be done, plus I have my therapy appointment this afternoon so I need to make sure I have plans available for my sub and that the paperwork is all filled out. I haven't gotten an email notification and I'm kind of nervous

I know it's not nice to do that but they don't know that do they, you could always portion a slice and then bin the rest or give it your daughter?
The cake will be going to Michigan with us ... give it to the grandsons and our son. He'll love that!! Yes, I know they mean well, and no one wants to spend a lot of money. It is the thought that counts .... and so nice of them! But does it have to be sugary stuff!!!! Well.... I am going to return the favor LOL!! The candy my neightbor gave me ... I am going to the dollar store and buy little candy bowls ... and thats what they are all getting. Returning the favor .. right!
I think you have brilliant plans for your gym friends. Two stones one bird!!!!1 -
@HEGoddard0928
Tooth fairy was a success.
We sang the tooth fairy song "tooth fairy tooth fairy, can you hear me? I have something here that you'd like to see!"
Tbh I made it up on the spot and was well proud of myself lol felt like a lyrical genius!
Anyway yeah I folded a pound coin in some paper with a note in saying thank you for the tooth, well done for keeping them clean and here's a gift in return. And I did the handwriting all swirly and drew stars everywhere.
Great idea with the note and song! Did you hear about the Dad playing tooth fairy while he was drunk and giving 100 instead of 1? I can’t imagine making that mistake!1 -

Kaitlyn is coming back out to watch a Christmas movie with me tonight. I’m looking forward to that!!!!0 -
Recap Th 12/13 ~ Don't know why but kept hitting snooze alarm this morning. At least I realized sky was getting lighter and I got up in time to get to work as usual. No dog walk before work anyway, with snow and freezing drizzle yesterday, which then froze over night. Our street is all icy again & it was VERY foggy this morning on drive to work. Last night was tricky just getting my car up the driveway and into the garage, had a little slipping going on.
1) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories green / 14c water = Ack! Ok all day, then snack attack of peanut M&Ms late evening. Oops. Net calories -349

2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings = Fitbit 11,649 steps, 250+ 12/14 (webinar) & 30 floors
3) Workplace mindfulness hike at lunchtime ~ leave on time (charge phone before) = Almost late b/c on phone with Help Desk trying to resolve system issue for webinar access, so high stress. Grabbed coat & went down one floor when I remembered my phone on the charger and had to run back. But I arrived exactly on time, and it was the BEST medicine to release stress. Being out in nature, being in the present & letting go of the crap that was out of my control. We walked .92 miles (walking app) and 135 calories (Fitbit). Happy me.
4) Work: webinar after hike & enjoy lunch at desk ~ don't inhale IT was at my desk when I returned & dealt with system issues just in time for webinar start, and then I started to eat my lunch FAST. Suddenly, light bulb moment, and I remembered my goal to enjoy my food. Immediate impact. 
/ run MMT report & upload to SP
5) To-do's: prep international card dagnabbit! finally!/ mail packages & card after work / choir 6:30 / gas in car / grocery shop & put everything in its place / email SIL add bread order to my to-do list / others? nope
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:15 (treadmill before work F)
JFT F 12/14 ~ Have been so tired... could it be all the stuff I'm trying to cram into every day lately? I think so. Reset early alarm & taking rest day.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings
2) Not prelogging food today ~ usual snacks but only ideas for meals / net calories w/i 100 green / 14c water
3) Bread order for Christmas Day / make optometrist appt / xfer funds / print address labels for cards
4) Evening: Sam's Club (rotisserie chicken? socks, chocolate) / decorate / declutter 15 min. / read Sunday ads / wash dishes / card & cash for newspaper carrier
5) UNPLUG 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / set/verify alarm, bed & TV OFF 10:30

I don’t know how I am going to make it through the day! It doesn’t help that it’s dark and gloomy out. They are calling for some rain and maybe some snow flurries. It’s one of those days that I wish I was home under a blanket with a cup of coffee and a book. I keep getting side tracked by staring out my big window next to my desk. All it is is the main drag in a downtown section of the town that I live/work in. But I’m so bored that my mind wonders off. Lol. Today is going to be better though! The DH has a PT appointment today. He dropped me off at work today and then is picking me up again at the end of the day so that I can speed him to the appt. Dinner probably won’t be until after 7. I have to ask him if he can see if we have tomato sauce so I can make my Skillet Lasagna recipe. It’s really yummy and we haven’t had it in a while. I also didn’t bring anything for lunch because we don’t really have any fresh leftovers that I would feel comfortable eating. Lol. I think cleaning out the fridge is on the agenda for this weekend. I am running out of clean food containers.
So I am going to stick to my plan and order a salad for lunch. If it is a large one I will only eat half. I want to try what do the “Don’t be afraid of being hungry” that @Sofia_Alegria did yesterday. I used to do intermittent fasting but I’m used to drinking so much coffee in the morning that it was hard for me. I think I might try it again. It wasn’t that hard for me but it’s been so long since I’ve tried to fast. I know it’s been more than a year. I know that I can’t do it tomorrow because we are having a catered lunch by a Title Company that works with our Loan Processing Dept in the back of my branch. Maybe over the weekend. I don’t tend to eat too much during those days.
@Bex953172 I hate it when sleep is illusive! Have you tried taking Melatonin. I have the quick dissolve 5mg ones and they put me to sleep pretty fast but I wake up just fine. I’m not a groggy mess or anything like I sometimes was when I took prescriptions sleep aids. Was the Tooth Fairy quest a success?
@slittlemeister Good luck with the party. I’m glad that you have two people to keep you accountable! That definitely helps!
@toaljasa I agree with you on both accounts! I was describing this group to a coworker and I told her that it was a bunch of women and that we tend to scare the men away. Lol. And I would put the candy in the car or give it away as gifts. Let other people enjoy it. I know I definitely wouldn’t. I would just feel guilty.
@TimeToReduceFat I’ve always wanted to try stevia. How does it taste? Is it anything like sugar? I like sugar in my coffee. Not a lot but I want to try it before I commit to buying any.
@Faebert Have fun at the party. It’s always hard to host one. And that’s a lot of people! I hope your house is big enough. Lol.
@PackerFanInGB Yay for great days! That is awesome! Remember, motivation will dwindle but discipline is what keeps you moving forward. That’s my problem. I don’t have even an ounce of discipline in me. Lol
@Snowflake1968 That’s great! With all the stress from the ending of your job, you should be proud of that loss!
@HEGoddard0928 : Stevia tastes “slightly” different from regular sugar. But I got used to the taste.

@maryrobinson40 You’re a total hoot! It’s a delight to read you
I second @cschmitz110515: Teachers are heroes. I was one for a couple of years until I decided that wasn’t my call.
@slittlemeister: Sending good vibes your way for your interview.
RECAP: 12/13/18
Read my Advantages to Losing Weight card at least 3 times. I’m going to settle for reading this before each meal/snack
Give myself credit at least 3 times Done. I wish I could do it more than 3 times but I guess that it will get easier with time.
Differentiate between hunger, desire, cravings: No cravings nor desire to eat yesterday just plain hunger in the evening but stayed in the green and tamed (a little) my “mood.” I’ve decided that I get irritable/impatient/grumpy when hungry, just like a baby .
Working on Day 13 of the Beck Book: Overcome Cravings: LSDIR: Label/Stand Firm/Don’t give myself choices/Imagine aftermath/Remember advantages of losing weight. This is one that I’ll have to turn into a mantra just like HUNGER IS NOT AN EMERGENCY; CRAVINGS ARE NOT AN EMERGENCY!
JFT: 12/14/18
Read my Advantages to Losing Weight card before meals/snacks
Give myself credit at least 3 times
Be mindful of my physical and emotional state in the evening when I get home from work
I’ll be traveling to see my Mom this weekend. She’s doing great in the Assisted Living. It really is a wonderful little place. We will have the conversation about not being able to go back to her apartment and needing to designate me as her Power of Attorney. I’m unsure as how she will take things but I’ll keep y’all posted.
Plenty of XOXOXOXOXOX’s your way.

You're not the only one! Hubby knows when I get cranky, it's because I'm either: hungry, tired, hot, or cold. His usual response: Go eat something. LOL

Finally, a good day after a string of bad ones. Let's see if I can keep up the momentum!

@HEGoddard0928 look for Stevia in the Raw or Truvia at a local coffee shop to try it before you buy it. I dont think dunkins has it, but a few local coffee places near me do. I switched and have not looked back! Also, a little bit goes a long way.2

Sooooo I was starving yesterday but I managed with the usual. I'm twice as starving today...we just went and got sausage egg cheese mcmuffins. And I was planning on eating a whole frozen pizza for dinner - because I'm feeling the need to eat a lot today. TOM approaching and a week of under eating due to stress are catching up to me I think. My inner voice has not been too kind the past few days so I'm trying to roll with the punches and not over restrict because I know for me, that leads to bingeing. Just feeling weird and kinda blahhhhh, PMS I suppose, such mood swings and crazy hunger. But maybe I should just do a little work out video at home tonight...I've been feeling like a slug when I get home but I know that energy begets energy so instead of giving into it, I'll give it a shot tonight.4

I've been doing my morning workouts but the last couple of days have not had the oomph to get around and move so I'm basically sitting for most of the time. Today, as I debated whether to take the elevator or the stairs b/c I've been a little under the weather, I realized that "sabotaging thoughts" are not just related to food ("you're not feeling well, take the elevator instead") They're and integral part of our natural tendency to take the path of least resistance. I ended up taking the stairs repeating in my mind, "If I don't feel good I'll just get off the stairs and do the elevator." I made it to my office on the 5th floor. I wish you a PHENOMENAL WORKOUT TONIGHT

I've been doing my morning workouts but the last couple of days have not had the oomph to get around and move so I'm basically sitting for most of the time. Today, as I debated whether to take the elevator or the stairs b/c I've been a little under the weather, I realized that "sabotaging thoughts" are not just related to food ("you're not feeling well, take the elevator instead") They're and integral part of our natural tendency to take the path of least resistance. I ended up taking the stairs repeating in my mind, "If I don't feel good I'll just get off the stairs and do the elevator." I made it to my office on the 5th floor. I wish you a PHENOMENAL WORKOUT TONIGHT
Thank you so much! Your comment helped me do it despite the little voice in my head saying otherwise! Wooohooo!!1 -

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" at thrift stores.
2. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used. 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.
3. Find out if a second masters pays the same as an EdS (email HH). Revise Machiavelli Prince Analysis - Part 1 paraphrased explanation, Part 2 quote & leader choice & explanation, part 3 reflection.
4. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.

10. Design minibuttons with school logo, mascot, crest. Minibuttons that say THIS IS WHAT ANTIFASCISM LOOKS LIKE. White text on black bars on red background. Create buttons at library.
I finished my sample poetry project! I'm really pleased with it. Since my classes are going to be larger next semester I really need to get some tests made because I can grade those and get them back quicker. It kind of sucks because I don't think they're as effective at showing what students can ACTUALLY DO but it is what it is.
Got to the strength class, which was really challenging, and then went from there to the theater. Enjoyed volunteering as an usher. I don't know if it's because I work at the theater or because I'm a volunteer but people are SO NICE. I mean I'm essentially doing food service / customer service but like... nobody's rude? Or entitled? We're all just happy to be there and excited about the show.
And then I got home and found out that the conference I submitted a proposal for was not one of the ones that was chosen for presentation. SUPER BUMMED. May have destroyed my entire weekend. Did manage to drag myself out the door to the stupid strength class but I have managed nothing else yet and it's almost lunchtime. I haven't even brewed tea.
They didn't even say WHY. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Crushed. I thought I had something that was really worthwhile.
Apparently not. 5 -

I am at a very slow craft show again today, so disappointed. Hopefully tomorrow is better.2 -
Hi all! Didn’t manage to check in yesterday as felt too rough following the party. It went really well - so well that the last guests left around 4am! I tidied up straight away so hit my bed at around 5:30am then was up two hours later to go and collect my daughter from a sleepover. Needless to say there was lots of indulgence at the party and then all kinds of recovery eating yesterday. Ugh!
The kids are at their dad’s now and I am at my bf. I went to see my godson yesterday to give Xmas presents before coming here and it was filthy weather all day. Freezing rain. By the time I got here I had nothing left. We’ve kind of just grumbled at each other so I’m hoping for a better day today. Up early now with the intention of going for a run but I just feel queasy and tired. Maybe I should just write off the whole weekend??
Sunday goals
- morning run (only if I feel better in the next half an hour)
- Quality time with bf
- Pick up car from ex
- Home in time to do some laundry
- Parking vouchers on car before bed
- Take workout mat and exercise ball back downstairs
- Early night
