    JFT 5/20
    Drink extra water-fill my bottle twice 😁
    30 minutes yoga 😞
    30 minutes HIIT😁
    Stay within calories 😁
    5 veg servings 😁
    3 fruit servings 😁
    deep breathing meditation x 2 😁

    It’s only 5:15 but I am so tired I would literally get in bed right now if I didn’t have to bring my daughter to taekwondo 🥋 😴.
    Did pretty well on goals today overall.

    Well it's not as bad as we feared but also not as good as we hoped.

    Matt does not have cancer or liver disease. The doctor thinks it could be 1 of 3 things.

    -His lactose intolerance got worse
    -Tumors in his pancreas(I forget what the medical term is)
    -A gluten intolerance

    So now we have another round of testing and still nothing to make Matt be able to keep anything in. He is getting a breathing test done for the lactose(don't ask me, I have no idea). And then he needs to do a urine test and a blood test.

    So some stress is off but there is still a lot of it left. I was really hoping for it to all get settled today. Or at least for him to get something to get better. But the doctor wants to treat the cause, not the symptoms. I should have asked if there was a way to do both, but honestly, I didn't even think of it.

    I'm just done with this *kitten*. Like "stick a fork in me and call the family for dinner" done. And I can't help but eat my feelings. I just feel like I'm so stressed out all the time and it is not helping me lose weight or even have any kind of desire to do anything to make it better, ya know?

    Plus money issues on top of it all. At this point, I don't know what to do.

    Sorry for the rambling. Thanks for listening.

    Sorry you are struggling and stressed on so many fronts. I hope you get some answers soon!

    This morning as I was reading through the posts my husband said that there was a little boy about 2 or 3 years old walking on the street between the trailers and he didn’t see any adult around. I stood up and saw the little boy go into our neighbour’s yard.
    I went outside to help this little boy and found another one in our yard, probably 3 or 4.
    These boys both took my hands and we walked the whole trailer park trying to find where they belonged. They were only wearing pj’s and rubber boots. I asked anyone I met if they knew them, until I finally came up to a man who said that his wife had seen these two out on Saturday wandering around alone. I decided then that maybe the best thing I could do for these two was to call the police. So I did. I had been outside for over 40 minutes at this time and no one had come looking g for them. The police came and were going to take them to the station and call CPS.

    Shortly after Rodger and I decided to go out, as we were driving out the RCMP officer told us that they found where they belonged and told us the address in case it happens again.

    I hope these parents put a lock on their door so the kids don’t sneak out. I’ll worry about them now.

Regardless, I managed to get everything taken care of in time; but it's now 10 am and I'm just starting MY day, Lol!!! Well I'm going to be packing and cleaning for the rest of the week (bc I'm juggling that in with the baby's schedule and end of year stuff for 3 school aged kiddos). Good news, we should be moved back home by this weekend!!!! 😂😂

    Welcome to all the newbies!!! Please feel free to "jump" right in!! This group is wonderful at motivation, support and friendship!! Everyone stay strong and have a blessed Monday!! 💪😁

    Not too successful today. 😔 This stinking birthcontrol rx has a ridiculous amount of hormones and makes me sick!! Called my OBGYN and she called in a new one for me. Hopefully my system can handle the new rx. Well our afternoon / evening has been full of excitment with tornadoes dropping all around us! 😅 We are all safe. I grew up in tornado alley so I know how to keep my family safe. Needless to say, my day was full of hot-flashes, nausea, packing / moving, award ceremonies and weather watching, Lol!!! I'm DONE. 😂 'till tomorrow....

    @PackerFanInGB
    Thanks for the welcome. I think the daily accountability is a great idea. I lost 9kgs (20lbs) 3 years ago using MFP. Usual story, put most back on :s
    Support and encouragement is essential to be successful. So, here we go again. :#

    Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. Proverbs 10:12.

    Don’t let bitterness and hate rob you of joy. Tell those you love that you love them and let that be enough.

    Scale goals

    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 192

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Purchases: 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. 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, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie). Add lamp and wobble board to grocery list.
    2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. 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. 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.
    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.
    6. Medical: Dentist. Onco. PCP. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia???
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday.

    WFTY: Climbing.
    Positive thought: I am stronger than those who oppose me.
