    Late to the game, JFT Wednesday
    - Up at 6:00 :( More like 7:00
    - Protein bar for breakfast :( maybe lunch
    - Setup samples :)
    - Go to lawyer about my dad's estate :)
    - Work stuff :)
    - Pick up V by 5:30 and feed her :) Fed her at church, almost forgot they do dinners on Wednesday nights right now
    - Church by 6:30 :)
    - Play with the kids :( I did admin stuff
    - Home :) thank God
    - Laundry :) 2 loads of delicates
    - No alcohol :)
    - No ice cream (hubby made vanilla with blueberries) :( very small bowl
    - Bible Reading :) Numbers is rough to get through. Lots of lists and repetitions. I still don't have the lineages down. Just too many names.
    - Bed/couch by 10:30 :( I did lay down on the couch at 10:00, but I watched tennis until way past 10:30. Still fell asleep before the end of the match. Guess I'll look up the winner, pretty sure it was Nadal. The second half of the 1st set was bad, but then he picked it up. Kind of wanted the underdog to win that one.

    Discard 5lb challenge Round 2.
    Name: Nikki formerly nlmackey98 (didn't want my email out there)
    SW: 147.2
    CW: 145.6 (exact same today, I'll take it) -1.6#
    GW: 142

    JFT Thursday
    - Up at 4:00 to shower (shave) then head to CrossFit. :( Just didn't happen
    - Work by 8:30 :)
    - Protein bar & fruit for breakfast :/ Forgot my apple at home
    - Lunch in the cafe - chicken breast over lettuce (kinda like a salad)
    - Work until 5:30 or 6:30
    - Long walk 3 to 6 miles with hills or hike 3 miles in the woods (without getting lost on the trails - not guaranteed.)
    - Dinner at home - maybe I'll cook instead of husband, maybe not
    - No alcohol
    - No ice cream
    - Bible reading
    - Bed by 10:30

    Positive thought: Even if you mess up one day (or week, or month or year or years), you get a chance to do better today. Make yourself proud. Regrets solve nothing, they just make you feel bad. Use it as motivation not a lead weight that brings you down. Much love all!

    My life is good even though I didn't go to the gym this morning and my mom is a whack job. Luckily I get a chance to go get my *kitten* kicked at CrossFit again tomorrow. I look forward to it, and I don't. It's hard, but maybe it's what I need. Build back up from the ground with a stronger foundation, literally. I'm sure we are booked for the weekend, but I can't recall anything, so maybe I'll get a bike ride in and maybe self defense class. I haven't been to self defense since before July 4th.

    Oh, V's project we worked on all weekend was a hit in her AP History class. If someone tells me how to post pictures as "Spoilers" so they don't take up the whole page I'll show you the poster (actually shower curtain) part of the presentation. It turned out really cool. The autopsy of Kali the Hindu Goddess in relation to the Indus River Valley Civilization. There was also an obituary of the Indus River Valley Civilization. I think I helped V too much on that. I didn't do it for her, but I guided her through it and helped her find the information she needed rather than just telling her to find certain things. Once she had the basic information we personified the IRVC as a "she" and put the obit together. It was a bit of a morbid project, but the kids seemed to enjoy it.

    Attach your image as usual, then use the Format dropdown to select Spoiler. You should see [ spoiler] before (without the space) and [ /spoiler] after.

    Kali is normally depicted topless, but we gave her clothes for some reason.

    V didn’t want to put the fact papers over the picture so we made flaps that would blend into the design.

    UGH. I am SO tired of having my nasal passages so swollen that I have to gasp through my mouth all day.

    Could be worse, though. The flu is going around the school and I haven't caught that. (Yet. Knock on wood...)

    JFT 9/5 Recap

    Drink water :)
    limit alcohol :/
    healthy choices :)
    90 minutes exercise <3:)

    Got 130 minutes exercise in today, though went over on alcohol (dang birthday), about to drink lots of water and made fairly healthy choices today so that's all good. Still within calories but mostly because of all the exercise! Not too shabby of a day and about to go take a nice soak in the tub with a glass of icy water. Plus others are doing all the car pooling so I got to have wine and watch outlander. Actually, this whole weekend is pretty low key so I think I'm going to need to get lots of exercise to combat all the drinking/eating that's going to be done "for my birthday". My goal will be to out exercise my bad habits and try to remember to make some healthy decisions.

    JFT 9/6

    Make Healthy Choices
    No alcohol
    90 minutes intentional movement
    1 minute meditation.

    I am 44 as of yesterday. I had lost 30 lbs this year and then last month gained 7 lbs back and I was really feeling upset about it. I want to stay on the path to health this year and lose weight but in a slow and sustainable way. I'm back on the healthy path but I refuse to feel bad about having a setback of a month. There are days when it's easy and days when it's hard and that is just life. This is the mantra that I am going to repeat to myself!

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 192.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for 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. 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: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
    6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Sept 18 10:15. ObG Oct 22 10:30. GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS. PCP - allergy shots?
    7. Theater: Mamma Mia. Next?
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike night for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    I am having the same struggles. I don't know what the answer is, but I think making it a priority to at least post my goals, even if I don't have time to read and respond each day, is vital to my success. So I'm trying to find that balance also. It's more definitely more difficult to find that nice balance for everything and everyone when you are working...

    I'd be interested in hearing how others prioritize it all... :blush:
