Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
I had an unplanned glass of wine to celebrate something I was rather pleased about. But I didn't have my yoghurt or hot chocolate which partly made up for it. Also, big NSV - I went to give blood where there are lots of free snacks to make you less likely to faint. I planned to eat 200 kcals worth and did just that - no more. Win! Although, now I remember, I also had a few small snacks in a team meeting where my colleagues were passing them back and forth for two hours but they were small. I wasn't sure exactly how much but imagined they were less than the calories I then burnt walking to blood appointment (so I just didn't log either)
- Be in the green
About 100 over but I'm fine with that
- 4 bottles water Think it was more like 3.5, again I got distracted in the afternoon

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
Today: 189.6
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" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding.
2. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. 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. Regular: needs practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
3. Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook and lessons.
4. Develop 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. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.
5. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Barn order: stapler, pencil sharpener
6. Keep track of medical stuffs. Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Take recycling to center. Wash car.
8. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
9. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, Harvey Mansfield, or Robert Adams). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.
More later. Gotta run.3 -

Recap T 1/15 ~ Ack! Had workout clothes ready & waiting, still struggling to get out of bed when alarm goes off. No workout before work. Have been feeling like a slug, and want to stay under the covers. Maybe related to day after day of dreary weather plus sunrise almost 7:30. I want to snap out of this!
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings = Fitbit 9,124 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 (webinar) & 26 floors
2) Meals & snacks prelogged / supper trying Weeknight Crack Slaw w/ brown rice (thanks @AJB1014) / net calories zero / 14c water = Tried new recipe & really liked it!
If I stuck w/ plan, net calories would be -53. But I did not ~ while cooking, I ate 2 pieces of string cheese, then got phone call from oldest brother with scary news that turned out ok ~ he was driving up north to x-country ski/train (he does the Birkie) and during MORE freezing drizzle, hit black ice and rolled his pickup truck. Yikes! He's ok, no other vehicle involved, and truck landed near tree but did not hit. Cop happened there within one minute, and he got rides from a friend & middle brother to get back home. Thank God it wasn't worse. After supper, I comfort binged on chocolate (Christmas candy still around) ~ knew I should stop as I recognized what I was doing, but didn't. Later I tried to log my binge, but phone app was not letting me... this morning I logged best I could remember ~ ack! 
Net calories -860 , sodium -308 , sugar -40 , fiber low-ish, protein excellent & 10c water
3) Evening: quick grocery pick-up / stop at vet's & pick up cat food order 
expensive stuff! / other? maybe evening workout? nope
4) UNPLUG 9:00 / floss 
/ retainers / set/verify alarm, be & tv off 10:20 ~ crawled into bed at 8:40 and tv off before 9:30 (yay). Then woke up when hubby got home from work at 12:40 a.m. & we talked > 1 hour. Left early alarm set, in case I would actually get up and workout before work. 
JFT W 1/16 ~ Yippee ki yay!!!! The sun is shining! It's been DAYS.
1) Yay! Treadmill before work 3 mi 49:56 + cool down + stretched = happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings
3) Meals & snacks prelogged / supper is sausage, potato & spinach soup ~ yum! / net calories zero / 14c water
4) Evening: wash towels / load dishwasher & run / pack remaining decorations & store / hubby's bday gifts & cards / other?
5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:20 (x-train before work R)2 -
Good morning to all. I think I'm coming down with something too. I feel nauseous and just plain tired.
I did well yesterday even though I ended up in the red but I'm not stressing over this. I'm easing my way back to where I was before the holidays and that will take some time. I didn't feel well enough this morning to do a real workout (as is when you sweat and feel the burn) but I did do some Pilates.
JFT:
Log
Water
Stay in the green
Hugs to all.

Oooookay so it's no secret I've not been doing too well.
But so far today, I've logged all my food and got just under half my water in.
I plan to exercise tonight, and yes I'm actually going to do it!
I only have 500 cals left so that should be enough for dinner and maybe even a small treat, then exercise should give me more but km not going to eat them back.
I dont really know why I've not been doing so great, i guess my heart just wasnt in it. BUT, that's not gonna get me anywhere, so I'm gonna take this smidge of motivation I have and make the most of it to get the ball rolling!

Still feeling awful ... and hate this. I am not one that likes to sit around and do nothing, but thats all I feel like doing. Aching all over does not help ... even hurts to lay down. Last nite I tried to sleep on the couch .. finally fell asleep at 2:30 am. But then around 4am I went to bed, and was able to sleep more. But my throat is SO sore ... can hardly swallow. I had a glass of orange juice, and probably will go lay down again. My weight is way up again... I know last nite I got into drinking orange juice a lot (which is loaded with calories though). So this morning I measured out 1 cup of Orange juice.. and plan to just drink water. I have really got to get serious about my weight... on top of feeling sick, and desperately needing a haircut, and seeing how overweight I am .... not feeling very good about myself.
SO JFt, Wed, Jan 17
1. log all my food
2. concentrate on smaller portions.... eat slowly
3. mindful eating. Take my time chewing and enjoying every bite
4. rest to get rid of this cold
5. measure out any snacking
6. concentrate on 8+ water
7. differentiate between hunger, thirst, or just craving

@Bex953172 You got this!!!
@mytime6630 Hang in there. When you're sick it's always the worst, especially if you're not eating/drinking as much and your body retains everything. Rest as much as you can and be kind to yourself. 0 -
JFT 1-16-19

Oh boy, now I'm 268 posts behind and I never got caught up from my last MIA stint. LOL! I'm feeling like a pathetic loser lately. Had some family issues going on that actually had me feeling emotionally broken for the past 8 or 10 days. (Lost count) And yes, I totally did not care and I fed my sorrow and stress with food and sitting on my *kitten*. So today, I contacted the Wellness Coach at work and set up a weekly plan with her for accountability. I will be keeping a journal and submitting it to her weekly. She is expecting it next Wednesday and even made notation on her calendar to email me if she doesn't get it.
I miss you all when I don't get on here. I know there is so much going on that I am missing out on. I am going to make it a priority to go back and get caught up because I hear there are wedding dress pictures on here that I MUST SEE! And if I missed pics of Casey, Marley or Saskia, I'll be bummed out!
Finally got my sewing area set up last weekend, after being packed away for Christmas. Was a lot of work. I didn't realize how much stuff I have for sewing! I should probably learn how to use some of it...
Last night I couldn't sleep, so I was up watching videos on how to sew on binding. I plan to get the binding done on @Bex953172 's quilt for Casey this weekend and send it off next week. I'm pretty excited about it!
Well, I'd better get back to work. I have another meeting in 8 minutes and need to heat up some lunch and move around a bit. Been sitting all morning and can feeling my hips widening as I type... My "I WILL" list is what I committed to do for the Wellness Coach at work. I'm also going to have an "I HOPE TO" list so I don't forget about my mini goals...
Just for Today (Wed | 1/16/19), I WILL:- Drink half my weight in ounces of water. (90 oz)
- Journal every single bite that goes into my mouth, even if it’s a candy mint
- Pay attention to consuming half my weight in grams of protein (90 g) and eating less carbs
- Activity: Walk for 30 minutes either outside or via exercise DVD
- Eat at least 2 servings of fruits and 3 servings of veggies today.
JFT, I HOPE TO:- Read Beck's Diet Solution next chapter
- Get caught up on JFT thread
- Get caught up on my other MFP threads
- Prep for tomorrow, tonight
- Read something for pleasure
- Pick up my Rx after work
- Early bedtime
Love you all! xoxox

Today I am going to clean my bathroom and put my sign in there. As soon as I am done catching up on here and Facebook. I then need to make some more decorations for Michaela’s party and I have a plan to start something for my eldest daughter’s 30th birthday present.
I also want to really look into some vinyl prices online. I have been selling off some old scrapbooking supplies so I have money to buy for my new hobby.

I wanted to share this, I stopped at the grocery store yesterday and bought some fish for hubby. My 14 year old niece gave me an idea for some fillets and then I saw this. Hubby enjoyed this last night and I had a ham steak that he doesn’t enjoy. It wasn’t a pain for me to cook two things either.

@frenchfancy2014 - I’m sorry you are struggling with your Dad’s carer. That must be terrible. Maybe you need to find another one before this one has the opportunity to quit.
@toaljasa - I have never tried grits, but my husband has when he drive truck. I think he liked them. When we were first married the only thing he wouldn’t eat was ham and pork. Things have changed over 31 years. Mind you all I wanted to eat back then was pizza and Kraft Dinner. 😂
@maryrobinson40 - hope you feel better very soon. I hate when illness sets me back, I tend to wallow for too long with it.
@newdaydawning79 - thank you. I don’t normally have a sweet tooth except for certain sweets. Most of them I can very easily avoid. Last night hubby took some of my favourites out of the freezer and I succumbed. Good news is I think there are very few left now!
@Fitatelo - I noticed you were writing to your Grandma. My Grandmother and I wrote letters back and forth for years . When her eyes got too bad too see my writing, I typed them using a large font. I have all of if the letters now that she wrote and I wrote. I also have a wooden box I had decorated for her one year and put homemade stationary in for her. One of my goals this year is to put those all in chronological order and put ribbons on them by years.
What a treasure those letters will be for you someday.
@cschmitz110515 - you are beating yourself up for not getting up, but also woke up to spend some time with hubby in the night. I wouldn’t beat myself up over that, you still have to get up for work. Hubby and I had that schedule for a while, it’s a balancing act and those rare times during the week are priceless. Happy your brother was not injured.
@Sofia_Alegria - hope you feel better soon
@Bex953172 - I love how you never give up. That’s what it’s all about isn’t it? I have been struggling to stay within my calories and do any exercise and have to convince myself to do it. I have thought about just saying effit until I’m back to work and in a routine, but I know that won’t help. So I am counting every good decision as a victory right now to keep me going.
@mytime6630 - I drink so much orange juice when I am sick. I don’t worry about anything except getting better. I don’t know if it actually helps me get better faster or not, but it makes me feel better so I do it. It’s the only time I drink juice though.
@PackerFanInGB - I love seeing you post. I hope your family crisis has passed and you can start doing for you.

In winter, I love to make pots of soup and have leftovers. I'm sharing the recipe for the soup I'm making tonight. I alter the recipe slightly: use mild sausage instead of hot, add the optional pepper flakes to taste and replace the heavy cream with evaporated milk. According to MFP Recipes, with my changes, one serving is 336 calories.

What a busy day - can’t believe I’m only just getting on here now to post. Finished up Tuesday happy - hit most goals for the day and feeling strong into today. Woke up ridiculously early and decided to get up and make a cake for my friend’s birthday as a few of the girls are coming over to mine to celebrate tomorrow night. Post cake making I went for a run - all before going to work! Shattered now after prepping the dinner ingredients and heading to bed soon. Should be a relatively healthy meal- am doing Greek style grilled chicken skewers, a warm butternut squash, spinach, feta and pomegranate salad, a roasted veggie rice salad and green beans with chorizo and chickpeas. But there is chocolate Guinness cake for afterwards 😈

Log accurately
Stay in the green doing well until the after dinner chocolate tipped me into the red! I knew it would but indulged
5 fruit and veg
I'm managing my goal of maintaining so think the extra chocolate will be ok so long as it's not too often. Stressful day and I did not immediately reach for the wine bottle; I enjoyed Seedlip and tonic instead.

Almost 100 posts! Holy Crow! I have really been slacking on my discipline with coming on here daily. I HAVE however logged my food(even when I didn't want to) and I went to the gym Monday and today. Today was a quick workout. I did a 15 minute HIIT workout on the elliptical. A 5 min slow walking warm up, intervals of very fast running and moderate running and another 5 min slow walking cool down. By the time I was done I was breathing heavy and sweating like a fiend. It felt awesome though and apparently, HIIT workouts continue to burn calories long after you are done with the actual workout. So we'll see how that goes. I want to eventually work up my time until I am doing the interval parts for a longer duration. We'll see. But I am proud of myself for going and for logging! I have also eaten what I've brought to lunch every day so far this week. Lots of leftovers but I don't mind. I made a huge pot roast in my C/P the other night so I've been eating that for lunch and for dinner tonight too actually. The DH wanted to eat something from the freezer so I heated up myself another serving. It's really tasty!
Okay, so it's 7:15pm right now. A little late to make goals but I will do a couple for the rest of the night.

JFt, Wed, Jan 17
1. log all my food
2. concentrate on smaller portions.... eat slowly
3. mindful eating. Take my time chewing and enjoying every bite I had to work hard at this ... I think I am so used to just eating in a hurry. So I actually had to put down my fork so I could practice this ... and kept telling hubby to slow down on his eating! I think that is how I developed the habit of eating fast ... hubby can literally finish even a steak dinner in like 5 minutes!
4. rest to get rid of this cold Last nite again, I was unable to sleep. At 1am I just could not get comfortable ... so went out on the couch. I finally did fall asleep, and sleep for awhile, and went back to the bed around 4am. This was after taking a melatonin (which hubby just bought to see if it helps us sleep), and 2 aspirins! My bones just ache all over ... no getting comfortable anywhere.
5. measure out any snacking I forgot to measure out my dinner, but I did take a smaller portion.. and did not get seconds. But ... I measured out the raisins this morning for my oatmeal (and realized I had been putting in twice the amount I thought!). I guess this is what is called mindful eating!
6. concentrate on 8+ water Drinking a lot of water today.
7. differentiate between hunger, thirst, or just craving So far today I did OK ... now.... to make it until bedtime with no food, since calorie count is still higher than I want. I miss the gym... but am planning to wait until next week to get started with that again.
Going to a wake tomorrow for a neighbor who passed away unexpectedly... but hoping I feel good to go.
JFT, Thurs
1. log all food
2. concentrate on smaller portions ... and no seconds
3. mindful eating... eat slowly
4. rest more to get rid of this cold
5. go to wake... and then hubby said we would grab something to eat. So make wise choices
6. concentrate on water.8+ glasses
7. remember my word for the year " Discipline"

1/16 Day 9 Still logging my meals faithfully. Means I need to plan ahead but most days I am only a couple hundred over my 1280 which I cant seem to get down to without headaches. Compared to what I was eating it is about a fourth of what I was eating. No wonder the weight ballooned up!5
