    JFT 9/9 Recap

    90 minutes exercise/movement :/
    Calorie Deficit :/
    no alcohol :|

    Well, not quite. But I did get 30 minutes in, stayed within calories (no deficit), and had a glass of prosecco bc my Mom took me out for a belated birthday lunch. Other than that did ok, and even though I didn't meet my goals I was actually pretty good. Today will be even better because I have a 90 minute workout planned (cycle or yoga plus swimming) and then a ton of kid activities tonight so will be busy busy with no time for lazing about.

    JFT 9/10

    90 minutes exercise
    Calorie Deficit
    lots of water

    Keeping it simple and I will reach my goals today!

    @cschmitz110515 - Yup! We open on Thursday. Rehearsals are going until nearly midnight at this point and I *have* to get up by 6 AM to leave by 7 to make it to school on time. Sooo it's definitely a challenge. After this week it should ease up, since we won't have daily rehearsals after we open.

    @PackerFanInGB That's so true! I find that consistency is key. I'm finding peace in the mantra/advice: progress not perfection. So even though I fell off track in august and it was hard to get back on track I'm not starting from 0, I'm starting more at a 2. And it didn't take me quite as long to get back in the swing of things as it did when I first started in January. We are all works in progress I suppose!

    @KIKITVP Good for you! :) Hope you have a great day!

    @djke1 Hope you enjoyed your healthy salad! With a smile! ;)

    @maryrobinson40 Thank you for the birthday wishes! Hope you had/have a productive and peaceful Tuesday.


    @Snowflake1968 Hope all is going well with the job and that you are feeling better physically! How's your hip doing?

    Only half way through the day but I have to be up at 6 am to get the kids up/fed/on the bus so I have been feeling like it's 5 pm by 2 lately! Ha! But today has been really productive. Have a chicken/rice dish in the crockpot, went to the gym and did my 90 minutes already, getting my hair done later and then the kids have activities all evening so getting some downtime in now by checking in with you all and reading a really good book. And I even have the laundry going! Some days are just like that. Rolling on like a freight train. Remind me when I'm complaining about a stressful day that sometimes I have my crap together. ;) Anyway, hope all are settling into September and enjoying some cooler weather.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 195.6

    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.

    WFTY: Climbing. UGH. Was planning to show a movie to my honors classes but they didn't actually finish their work. Grrr. Also, why didn't this post? :P

    Discard 5lb challenge Round 2.
    Name: Nikki formerly nlmackey98 (didn't want my email out there)
    SW: 147.2
    9/6: 144.2 -3#
    9/7: 144.6 - oops blaming mother nature on this one. Tomorrow I'll blame the doughnut
    910: 144.4 - Holding steady is better than gaining!
    GW: 142

    Been a little under the weather the past few days, but I feel much better today. Tired, but better. Being that I haven't felt well, CrossFit has not been on my agenda. That and well last time I was there I hurt my elbow so taking a little time is a good thing. I'll start back tomorrow or Thursday.

    I slept in a bit this morning, which helped me a lot. Of course that means I'm behind on about everything today, including logging in and posting goals.

    JFT Tuesday
    - Log all food
    - Stay in the green
    - Not volunteer for anything at the Booster meeting tonight
    - Eat only one bowl of chili for dinner. Cheese yes. Crackers/Tortilla Chips no...
    - Allow one treat in the evening.
    - Bible Reading
    - No Alcohol
    - Bed by 10:30 up by 4:30.

    Positive thought: Cooler temperatures make outdoor activities more fun. Enjoy, but be careful of the early sunsets.

    Monday started out on a slippery slope as our IT Dept made some changes to software over the weekend, which resulted in some of the software I use not cooperating. It continues into today... I love computers but it really messes a person up when they don't work correctly.

    I'm finally going to get my hair cut tonight. So excited! I had to cancel my appointments for the past two months and I look like a hobo right now.

    Tomorrow I go get fitted for a CPAP machine for a 3-month trial to see if it helps improve my quality of sleep. I'm not exactly looking forward to looking like an astronaut in bed with a big old elephant mask over my face, but I've got really high hopes for improved energy, memory and concentration. We'll see though..I have a feeling it won't be the miracle i've been hoping for. But what if???? Oh my gosh, to wake up feeling refreshed for once would be the most exciting thing EVER for me! Crossing fingers....

    Just for Tuesday

    Oh sorry everyone ive not been on!



    I started round two yesterday at 185.6. One pound down from round one :(

    How is work going? Are you enjoying it? (I have been out of town a lot recently and I'm sure I've missed your yea or nay on the new job!) I hope you love it! Did the doc give you any exercises for your hip?

    Peace and joy!

    Thank you for asking. I absolutely love my job!

    "I absolutely love my job!" Oh, how I love to read those words! Just think if those other jobs you applied for had come through?? You are getting to love on people who need it and it sounds like there is just enough variety to keep it challenging and interesting but not overwhelming.

    Well, I'm glad you got to the "bottom" of your issue, lol! Would a donut pillow help?? A standing desk? Makes me uncomfortable thinking about it :)

    So so happy for you.

    Sending hugs @bex953172. You are in the thick of the really relentless stage of raising small children and I know it does sometimes feel like a thankless task. I agree you should go and see the doctor but I would also say don’t assume everyone else is loving every second either! I think a lot of what you’re feeling is normal. And all I can promise is it does get better and so will you.

    Lots of love x

    @Bex953172 Please call your doctor and talk to him/her about how depressed you are. I finally called and got in to see a counselor last week and I'll be going to see her every two weeks now until I get some kind of resolution to the things making me feel stressed. Is there someone you could go talk to like that? A counselor maybe? Sometimes it's nice to hear what another impartial person has to say. In my mind, you have an extremely busy life! With all the cleaning and running after that you do with the kiddos, I'd be totally overwhelmed! It's not a bad thing to be happy to have your kids start school... I cannot tell you how many mothers I saw posting on Facebook how excited they were for their kids to go back to school! Everyone needs some alone time to just take care of themselves...just some quiet time to rejuvenate. It doesn't sound to me like you get much of that!

    Can Ash help out by watching Casey an hour or so a day for you to go do whatever YOU want? Take a walk, go sit in a park or even in a library where it's quiet....soak in a bathtub and read a book....whatever it is that makes YOU feel better. If BEX feels better, the whole family will feel better. But life is give and take, and it sounds to me like you are always giving...

    Just my opinion, of course! But I think you need some Bex time and I think that you DESERVE some Bex time.

    I'm sending you hugs from way over here... I hope you can feel them honey. xoxoxo :heart:

    I am still here and reading everyone’s posts although I’ve been struggling to do my own. The house is in utter chaos with the renovations (don’t know why, it’s not major works?!!) and I am feeling very disorganised - I can’t get to my weights and home workout equipment, my bathroom scales are hiding somewhere and I am finding it all very annoying! Managing to keep up with running at least just to stop me going stir crazy!

    Hopefully I’ll be back into normality sometime next week. Hugs to you all x

    @Bex953172
    Dear, dear lady. I have been you, even now there are days I just want my kids to shut the f up and go away. It makes me feel like the worst mom ever, but I'm not. Neither are you. You put their needs before your own always. Maybe that needs to change a bit. It is ok to be a mom and still be your own person. Admittedly that is harder when the little ones are very little. I was good when the kids were infants, then it was just a schedule and a job I wasn't real emotionally attached (especially to the 2nd one). I was never the snuggly parent, but from toddler to about 10yo I struggled with it all. I went through the motions, smiled when I dropped off and picked up the kids, looked like I had my $h!t together, but lived in a fog. I had zero genuine emotions except for anger. All I had was that I could pretend to feel the way I was supposed to feel. It was 100% exhausting. I had unrealistic expectations of my children when it came to hygiene and cleanliness about the house. I was constantly frustrated and overwhelmed. I needed things to be perfect and predictable so I could cope. That just wasn't happening.

    In order to get away from that, I took on a few part time jobs that would allow me to put the kids in childcare a few hours a few times a week. And I found that my local gym that provided up to 2 hours free child watch while you worked out. I was very fit. It gave me things that were for me and no one else. It gave me adult interaction. It gave me space from the kids that allowed me to be less critical and annoyed. I had decided to stay home because I thought that was what was best for my kids. I just didn't realize that 24/7 time together didn't work for my family. It was only a few hours and I didn't feel like I was letting others raise my kids. I just felt like I was giving the kids a break from me, and letting me reboot to being "me" not just "mom". Having some me time even if it wasn't down time was what I needed.

    Maybe you could work something out to get an hour or two away. Maybe you could see a therapist to help you figure out what will bring you peace. Heck sometimes just getting it all out there to an objective party can take a load off.

    I don't know how to help you, but know that I love my children from the bottom of my heart, but that I couldn't stand to be alone with them at times. I love them still and they are amazing young women despite their crazy *kitten* mom. I am still not a snuggly person, but when my oldest cuddles up to me on the couch and tells me about every stinking detail of her day, I know that I've done a good job. I like that she wants to be close to me. I like that she is comfortable and comforted by me. It's weird really, I need none of the things she is giving me, some of it is a bit annoying, but I love that she wants to give them to me. I know that she loves and trusts me. She did see me as the mess I truly was because I was always there for her. The times I yelled don't seem to have made a lasting impression because there were many other times when I was understanding.

    I hope that rambling made some sense. Love you girlie!

    @Bex953172 You are doing a good job of parenting. Most young mothers feel the weight of responsibility from time to time. It’s exhausting to juggle children/home/job and find time for you. But it will get better. Nothing specific to add to the good advice already given. Just hang in there.

    b]Scale Goals progress: [/b]
    SW: 227 (Mar 2014) Worsening hip problem made weight loss imperative.

    I am SO far behind again on posting and setting goals. ... I need to get with it. Only good thing is that my weight has not gone up ... yet. This is the time of year I give up, and gain, and I am not going to let that happen this year. I am 10 pounds from my goal weight for my height (5'11"), and I just can't seem to get there, but, at least the scale has stayed the same. I just need to work harder at it.

    My ex-SIL pulled my brother out of the nursing home yesterday. I have to just let it all go. He lives 1000 miles from me, and I can't get there to stop her, and he is unable to say no to her. Already, she is telling me she has a doctors appt, and plans to drop my brother off at the ER, and just let him sit there for 3 hrs while she drives to her doctors appt.She is asking me what I think. He should have stayed in a home where he has 24 hr care, which is what he desperatly needs. I am worried, but, I have learned to let it go, and put it, like everything else, in gods hands.

    Yesterday I took the paperwork into disability. I hate having to do this every year, but as long as our daughter tries to work, they keep checking her. Someone with schizoaffective is not going to get better.

    Hugs to all of you on here. I love you all .... just sorry I am not as faithful getting on here. I want to retire, but hubby loves what he does, and because we run the business together, I also need to work. He is trying to slow it down, but when we have sales, we have to work. So my day is just that ... gym ... work... dinner... dishes... and lucky if I get in 2 hrs of sewing before doing the same again tomorrow. Oh well... could be worse!

    JFT, Wed
