    JFT 6/13

    30 minutes yoga/strength training :| Did 20 minutes of yoga
    Drink water :)
    No alcohol (4 day weekend starts today for husband and he is a trigger) :)
    Stay within calories :| Went over by a little bit
    All meals at home :| Went to lunch but chose healthy

    Tomorrow will be a cheat day in every way. I'm going to focus on being mindful and enjoy myself. Indulge but don't binge. Going to lunch at a beautiful winery and then family time at my Mom's where we'll just hang out and relax. I'm looking forward to it. Exercise in the morning though!

    Have a great night all!

    Good morning you all wonderful ladies!
    I had this thought today that every moment is a chance to exercise to be a person we'd like to be. It could be just a simple thing like taking a better body posture for a moment, smiling, being kinder to a colleague/family member/friend, drinking water...every moment is unique little training we could take for free. Every moment is a chance to shape our selves a bit :)

    Have an awesome day!

    JFT (there will be a lot of work, so I'll take just two simple goals)
    - no ice-cream today (to avoid getting into daily ice-cream habit)
    - walk in the evening

    JFT 6/14

    40 minutes exercise
    Drink water
    Relax and have fun
    Let my family just be today


    Not many goals for today, we are going to have a fun day at my Mom's and I just want to take off my "serious" hat for awhile today and have a few drinks, eat some picnic food, and enjoy my families company. I can tend to be the boss and today I just want everyone to have fun and relax. I'm going to take a deep breath and smile every time I get the urge to tell someone what to do. :D Including my husband.

    @daneejela So insightful! You are completely right. Everyone has been through "mud" and made choices they aren't proud of or had things happen to them that filled them with unwarranted shame. Nobody walks though this life doing everything 'right'. I used to feel ashamed about so many things and the older I got the more I realized that shame is a completely useless emotion only serving to alienate us from others. I love Brene Brown and her work on the topic, she is brilliant.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 191.6

    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).
    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. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Align assessments with OW units.
    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. NOTE: ATTEND POST FLEX DAY RATHER THAN PRE FLEX DAY. Upload summer project checklist July 1.
    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. Put jewelry away.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    WFTY: Climbing. I am so glad today is not 13 hours.

    @Snowflake1968 Happy (belated) anniversary! Keeping my fingers crossed for you getting the job.

    @MLHC1 Very happy to read your latest update ~ yes, God answers prayers. Not always the way we ask or expect, but He does.

    @Bex953172 @MaryRobinson So so glad to see you both posting again on JFT. You've been missed!

    @nlmackey98 Hugs to you, dear friend! I know it can be painful opening up to another person (I tend to be very private about certain things), so hoping the steps you've started are a journey towards healing.

    @bookmeister86 Loved reading your update on your ex-CEO. Good to know that sometimes, crappy management gets rewarded appropriately. Best wishes!

    @daneejela I love how you put into words things I cannot, and how inspiring you are! Even something simple, like every moment is a chance... like better posture. Funny because I was reading that hunched over my computer at work, and I immediately sat up straight! LOL

    The other day I posted that logging all the Good/Bad/Ugly for the June challenge is helping me. The past two days have been a huge fail net-calories-wise, but this is my lifestyle, not a diet. I'm going to recap for my own accountability...

    Recap W 6/12 ~ Yep, raining
    1) X-trained [weights/circuit] before work & Kitty came to basement wondering why I wasn't giving her her breakfast yet :D
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 8,342 steps (usually lower on x-train days), 250+ 13/14 happy hour w/ friends :D & 34 floors :smile:
    3) Breakfast & lunch prelogged / supper at pub? preview online menu / net calories zero / 14c water = Ordered grilled chicken wrap with veggies as side. Not bad for pub eating & guesstimated for log. Then snacked on guac chips when I got home... oops. Net cals -592 :# , sodium -1,218 :o , sugar -39 (mostly due to overnight oats), fiber & protein excellent, 14c water (yay)
    4) Finish GA-S(P) prelim :smile: / start testing or start GA-S(R) prelim :smile: actually finished & ready for next testing steps / org name tags for Th seminar :smile: / program GPS for seminar location :smile:
    5) Enjoy 1 adult beverage or diet 7-Up & enjoy company of former colleagues = One bottle of beer & then diet Sierra Mist and had a fabulous time :smiley:
    6) Mail Father's Day card & check : :D almost forgot / call mom & dad / take remaining laundry upstairs & put away :smile: / other to-do's? balanced bank accounts, scheduled payments & made transfer
    7) Unplug 9:00 ??? / floss ? / retainers ? / set/verify 6:00 alarm (leave 7:15), bed & tv off 10:20 ?

    Recap R 6/13 ~ Seminar 8 a.m. to 4:30 and 1.5 hrs in car. No time for work out before & too lazy late in day. Ate seminar food ~ some healthy, some not. Not enough bottled water available during morning session, no water pitchers and I was parched! No evening meal plan and winged it, not so bad. Then finished day with M&Ms binge ~ ACK! :s Guesstimated for food log ~ NOT pretty. Net cals -1,424 :o , sodium -929, sugar -41, fiber & protein good, 8c water :(

    JFT 6/14 ~ Glad rain held off until I left for work. Evening plans are changed since we don't want to sit in the rain & possible thunderstorms on City Deck to hear live music. That's ok, those piano guys aren't that good IMHO.
    1) Walked dog before work 3.12 mi 55:57 & stretched after = happy dog & happy me :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    3) Food prelogged except supper / eating at BFF's tonight & will guesstimate again / net cals zero / 14c water (really need to flush some sodium from this week)
    4) Update EMT for post-seminar tasks (already deposited checks yesterday on way home)
    5) Work goals? Nah. Evening goals ~ nope, it's Friday!!!

    @cschmitz110515 LOL! I sat up straight too! I hadn't even noticed how much I was slouching.

    @Snowflake1968 It seems that I missed your anniversary! HAPPY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! :flowerforyou:

    @bookmeister86 I can see from others' posts that I missed something with your "ex" CEO. I will have to go back and see what's up at work with you! Sounds like it may have been a good thing though...good for you! :)

    @Bex953172 and @maryrobinson40 YOU'RE BACK! Sure do miss you both when you are gone! (((HUGS))) :heart:
