I had a good day yesterday. We kept the Grands for about 4 hours while their Mom worked and their Dad went to a funeral. The kids and I went to some yard sales and then came home and made a roast beef dinner.
My coworker is in holidays this week and she gives me a ride home every day. She texted me yesterday morning and told me that her husband’s car is at her sons house for me to pick up so I can save some cab fare this week. I think that is the sweetest thing, I’m so very grateful.
Today I am going to do some laundry and then I need to figure out something to do. I was supposed to meet with a friend, but again she has backed out on me. I don’t know why, but every plan we make she backs out. She is the one that paid for the swimming lessons and never showed for any. I miss her.

Cheers y’all!
Yesterday was a good day, didn't do much. Came into work to work on a project. Listened to football & watched tennis. Had a home cooked meal and did a bit of laundry.
I'm just now getting on today at 2:30.
JFT Sunday (usually a non-logging day for me)
- Up and deal with my dogs and my doggie niece who spent the weekend
- Teach Sunday School It was close got sick on the way there. I think that scared the girls.
- Eat only one doughnut
- Listen to S sing at church
- Home to change then head to work.
- Set up testing. Wait...
- Home
- Laundry
- Probably skip church
- Read Bible - I finished Numbers last night.
- Bed by 10:00
Hopefully tomorrow I'll make it to CrossFit, and hopefully tomorrow we won't be doing cleans. My elbow still isn't happy with me about the last time.
Positive Thought: Y'all are amazing, try to let yourselves see that.2 -

Scale goalsEnd 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 cut1. 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.
WFTY: Climbing. I got all the narratives graded! However, none of the laundry. And I did go for a walk this morning, though there was no running. So... all in all, today has not been a complete loss. I'm still not sure if rehearsal goes until 10 or 11 tonight. I guess I'll find out...2 -

I must have forgotten to hop on here today. I got side tracked when my mom called this morning. She was excited about her neighbor possibly wanting to buy her house. If she can sell the house, she can move closer to us and be near family, which would be really ideal now that my stepdad has passed. So that was hopeful news!
This morning I threw together venison stroganoff in the crockpot and made baking powder biscuits with it for supper. I worked on my quilt this afternoon while I finished watching Season 3 of The Handmaid on Hulu. It was a pretty quiet day. After dinner, Maddie and I went for a nice walk around the neighborhood. I love this time of year. Just cool enough to walk without getting hot flashes.
I did log all food and water and listen to podcasts. So, even though I didn't post goals, I did achieve what I would have probably listed.
I'm going to post tomorrow's goals tonight in case Monday is too busy to hop on here.

Morning all. Not posting very frequently at the moment as I have a job interview on Wednesday which I'm doing lots of prep for. I'm a bit nervous about it as it's one I would really like to get! So that's my main focus at the moment, all other goals on hold and posting also a little on hold.
I did manage to lose 4.5lb since last weekend's wedding which I'm pleased about. That was definitely mainly water weight but I'm pleased to be rid of it! I'm still 6 lb up on what I was at the start of the summer so I will definitely be joining the next 5lb challenge. The question is, when will it be starting and who will win #2.... Lots of you seem to be doing well and we all know that weight can fall off quickly with a few days of concentrated effort.... Feels like any of you could do it!
Keeping it simple for today:
- Log everything I eat
- Be in the green
- 5+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- Exercise DVD
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- Finish work at 5pm
- Do prep for job interview
- Spend time relaxing (from 9)
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11
Hope everyone has a good week x2 -

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.
WFTY: Climbing. And tech week has begun. I have most of my stuff but need to find my costume necklace. May need to get new foundation as this one has sunscreen and I think it's been giving me trouble.3 -
JFT 9/8 Recap
90 minutes intentional exercise/movement
Did 60
Drink water
no alcohol One glass of red-not terrible
all meals at home
Did 60 instead of 90 and had a glass of red wine but progress, not perfection.
Had a nice day, cooked some great food and enjoyed some quiet reading time. Really a lovely day.
JFT 9/9
90 minutes exercise/movement
Calorie Deficit
no alcohol
Have a lot going on today work wise, so may not get a great workout in until the evening but may do both, try to get a workout in this morning and then maybe a yoga class this evening. I am sore from my amped up workouts but it's a good sore (mostly!). Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning! Things have been pretty hectic. We both feel like there's no time to do anything but work! The two spare bedrooms are full of stuff we still need to unpack. We've also decided to build our fence ourselves as it is much cheaper.
At work I'm trying to work on setting boundaries with my boss's expectations of how much can actually be accomplished in a work day without staying late. My coworker said I spoiled him in the beginning by working late so much and I'm honestly not willing to do it anymore except on rare emergency occasions. We have more obligations outside of work and I'm not willing to let my job take over my life.
Anyways.. back to it today, I hope you all have a great day!
JFT 9/9:
1. Stay within calorie goal
2. WAIT AND THINK before reaching for all the snacks
3. Finish work at 5:20
4. Cook dinner
5. Put away clothes5 -
Good morning! I found this on the Beck's Diet Solutions website and thought I'd share...
Monday Motivation: Consistency is the only way to build your resistance muscle! When you’re on track some of the time but off track other times, you’ll just end up spinning your wheels and not really getting anywhere. This week, focus on goals you can be one-hundred percent consistent with and make progress toward strengthening your resistance muscle.4 -
I have been struggling on several fronts lately. With sunrise later each day and many cloudy, crap weather days, I struggle to get up early before work to walk dog or x-train, especially if I do not go to bed early enough. I always eat my exercise calories and this means I have to eat less.
I struggled with July & Aug. monthly Step Challenge on MFP (not a very supportive group, just posting results), so I decided to drop that. My monthly goals on JFT have not had the results I've been striving for, and it's been disheartening, so I'm taking a break from that too. Still will post my weekly w-i on JFT for my own accountability. That said:
JFT M 9/9
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
2) Prelog meals & snacks / preview Culver's online menu (% of sales goes to charity today) / net calories zero / 14c water
3) Post updated weekly w-i on JFT
4) Progress on GA-C/V audit / clear some of Inbox
5) Schwan's delivery / bake choc zucchini cake for dept food day tomorrow / bulk household items to curb for pick-up / compost bucket to bin / update budget s/s / schedule furnace tune-up / review potential Oct. 5K / check healthcare prep instructions for next week
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & tv off 10:202 -
On the bright side, Saturday's weather was perfect for the City Stadium 5K for Veterans. Walked course in 45:12 and pace 14:33 ~ I beat 30 participants registered as runners.
Then walked through farmers market on way home. Since dog was sad I left dressed for walking, I walked her 2.78 miles once I returned home. Happy dog & tired me!

@cschmitz110515 YOU look GREAT! And congratulations to you! You kicked some serious butt getting some walking in on Sunday! It was a beautiful day for it too.
@bookmeister86 Good luck with your interview!!! I am excited for you and will be thinking of you, sending good thoughts and prayers for success! xoxo

Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
