    JFT 7/4

    Stay within maintenance calories
    Enjoy the day
    90 minutes exercise
    Healthy choices mostly


    Day off, and not really my favorite holiday but we are making the most of it. None of us really like crowds or loud noises so my whole little family unit really isn't a big fan of the fourth. :neutral: Already went to the gym and we are planning to hit the pool later and I'm making some homemade pizza's for dinner and a red white and blue cake for America's birthday. :)

    Hope my fellow American's have a safe and happy fourth! And everyone else has a great day!

    5) Update monthly goals JFT post
    6) No long weekend for hubby & me, have to work tomorrow, so unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work F) / bed & tv off 10:20

    @cschmitz110515 Although I'm not happy you have to work tomorrow, I feel less alone about not having a long weekend! I think there are only 2 of us in the office tomorrow! *sigh* At least it should be quiet.

    I've been wondering if you have been walking your dog in the mornings! It's so dang humid, that I can't stand being outside for more than 5 minutes or so at a time. I'm such a big baby!

    June Goals / Results:
    • Bellin Run 10K (walking) June 8 < 1:29 = Finished in 1:29:54 split 44:43 ave. pace 14:29 min./mile & placed 82/223 in my division. Sun was beating down on us & I definitely felt myself slow during 2nd half. Wonderful to have youngest brother & his wife meet me at the finish this year. :smiley:
    • Walk dog 4-5x per week / 100 miles total = Walked dog 5x two weeks, 4x once, 3x once (lots of rainy days ~ at least rain barrels are full). Total miles 72.55. :smile:
    • X-train minimum 1x per week / don't want to lose muscle tone already developed = Fit x-train (weights/circuit) in on crap weather days for average of 1x per week. Added more weight (I don't go heavy) to weight machine at end of month. :smiley:
    • Rest days 1x per week / no more than 2x per week = Fit in rest days due to schedule or crap weather 2x two weeks & 1x two weeks :smile:
    • Prelog food most days / June challenge log everything ~ good/bad/ugly / close food diary every day / no exception days planned for month, even if I have to guesstimate when not eating my own food = Closed food diary every day even if I had to guess (ate out multiple times + conference food 2 days) / logged G/B/U ~ mostly ugly this month :s
    • Net calories w/i 100 of zero 75% of days (22/30) & meet fiber/protein goals = Horrible this month ~ net calories < 100 red only 4 days & 100-200 red 4 days. Rest of days worse red. ACK! :s Fiber good 14 days & decent 11 days. :| Protein low only 3 days so have that going for me. Actually had one day when net calories = zero exactly! hahahaha
    • Take measurements Sun. June 30 & log on MFP = No surprise ~ numbers worse due to ugly eating :/
    • Scale goal 157# :( 163.5

    • Net calories w/i 100 of zero 50% (16/31) days and < 200 red 25% (8/31) days. More realistic goals to fit my lifestyle this month (because I am not on a diet)

    5 fruit and veg :)
    Fitbit excercise goals :)
    Jan challenge :)
    Feb challenge :)
    Mar challenge >:) horrible weather- wet and zero visibility!
    Apr challenge :)
    May challenge :)
    Jun challenge :)
    Jul challenge :) I will try skipping again tomorrow- I was surprised how hard (and tiring) it was. I don't remember that from my school days!

    I found a skipping rope and tried to skip, could not coordinate myself for more than 6 steps. I think my July challenge will be to improve on that! Perhaps those looking for a July challenge might be interested in finding something they could practice with an aim to show improvement?

    Eugh im dreading tomorrow.

    A few months ago i got caught on a camera speeding.
    Doing 40 in a 30. Genuine mistake and about 500yards down the road it does turn to a 40, but i shouldve realised!
    Anyway, i got a letter saying I could either get 3 points on my licence and a £100 fine OR attend a Drivers Awareness Course (which costs £85) so i opted for that, that way my car insurance cant be affected cost-wise.
    Anyway, its a 4hr long course, but the times theyre held are a bit awkward.
    8:30 - 12.30 or 1pm to 5pm.

    So, just to attend this course ive had to ask nursery if they could have Marley earlier so shes in a 7.30, ive had to pay for breakfast club at school for Saskia, shes in at 7.45. I have to get Ash up early so he can drive me so he can take Casey out.

    And i CANNOT be late or i wont be able to do the course and they will then give me 3 points and the fine.

    Its in the nearest city which takes about 30 mins to drive there. But ive been anxious all week, almost obsessing over it. Im not even bothered about the course, just getting there! Leaving where i live is giving me 45 mins to get there but what if theres traffic at that time?!

    I dont know what im hoping to gain from this post but ash is sick of me going on about it lol!


    However, tomorror is also date night and ive bought a lovely dress today! But its hard to be excited when im so anxious!

    I can understand your anxiety about getting there on time. My friend got caught speeding and opted for the course, she also panicked about being late and then panicked about being caught for speeding to the course! She did enjoy the course once she got there! I hope you have a good journey in tomorrow and that you arrive feeling more relaxed.

    @Bex953172 Good luck tomorrow! Just stick to plan, don't get flustered and it will all be fine! I can understand why you're nervous because that is the kind of thing that would happen to me! LOL! But it'll all be good. I'll be thinking about you. :)

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 193.6

    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. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
    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: MM auditions 6/22-23. Practice songs.
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump.

    A good day yesterday! I stuck to my food plan AND sent in my second job application in a week. Hopefully I will get one of the jobs I've applied for this week, I could really do with a change.

    Today will be more challenging food wise as I'm going to my friend's for dinner and I don't know what he's going to serve so it's hard to plan ahead to avoid overeating! And whilst it's Friday and I want to indulge a little, I don't want to undo the last four days of good work. Here's my attempt at a strategy:

    - Minimise pre-dinner snacks and drinks, if offered - small quantity of snacks for politeness only and one drink
    - Take sensible portion of main course and eat slowly and mindfully so as to appreciate it
    - Take small portion of dessert for the taste only. Savour it!
    - Watch the amount I'm drinking - log as I go so as not to rack up the calories too much (will work out ideal calories before)
    - Take bottle of tasty soft drink to fill up with

    If I start to weaken, I will need to remind myself that I DO want to lose weight and therefore I need to moderate my eating. I may possibly be able to eat a little more when I get to maintenance, but I will always need to moderate.

    Hopefully this will work!


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :smile:
    - Stick to food plan :neutral:One extra yoghurt/hot chocolate but this was small
    - Be in the green or close to it :)
    - 3+ bottles water :smiley:
    - No alcohol :smile:

    - No eating whilst standing :smile:
    - Savour every bite :neutral:
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :smile:
    - Give myself credit! :smile:
    - Stay positive :smile:

    - 45+ minute lunch break :smile:
    - Read response cards x2 :smile:
    - Meditate :smile:
    - 2+ of French podcast, reading, Duolingo :neutral: Duolingo only
    - Leave work at 5pm :smile:
    - Send in job application :smiley:
    - Gratitude journal :smile:


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food strategy
    - Stay within maintainance
    - 4 bottles water
    - Run to work

    - No eating whilst standing
    - Savour every bite
