SW :188.6 (starting weight for the 5 pound challenge - round 2)
GW for this challenge: 183.6
CW: 185.3 (current weight today) -3.3 Have to catch up with Terri!!!
(I saw 181.8 this morning before getting dressed, but I have only been recording my weight when fully dressed. I only have 7 more pounds, and I will be in the "normal" healthy range .. yes, the top of the range, but at least out of the overweight section! I am hoping to get there by thanksgiving, if not before, but I am a slow looser at this stage.
I am slowly changing my habit of junk food in the evening ... when I do my stressful, emotional eating. Now, I keep a large bowl of fruit on the counter .. trying to grab that instead.
Goals for today
1. mindful eating
2. drink 4 glasses of water before I drink a diet pepsi. 8+ water total
3. eat only what I have planned for today.
4. ONE planned snack after dinner2 -

@pridesabtch - of course I will have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I’m sure you are feeling really scared right now but it sounds like you and your daughter have an amazing relationship. She trusts you enough to confide in you and wants to get help, and you have responded calmly and with love.
As parents one of the hardest things is knowing that we can’t protect our children from all pain. All we can do is build a strong enough relationship so that they can come to us and lean on us in troubled times. And hopefully that makes the pain easier. You are doing a wonderful job- stay strong.
Big hugs x
I absolutely agree! Many children do not confide in their parents so you are doing a great job at keeping the trust and communication door open. I am praying for you and your family!0 -

I'd like to ask for your prayers for something I can't tell my RWF. My daughter told me last night that the burns we occasionally see on her arms aren't from curling her hair, but intentional.
I have a daughter will very similar mental illness.. except she was cutting herself. She hid it from us for many years .. telling it was from a razor, or that she fell, etc. She now confides in us, and is on the proper medication to help her.
You should be very proud of your daughter that she confided in you .. and trusts you. She is asking for help, and she knows you will provide that help to her. Hugs to you ... I understand, and I will keep you in my prayers. I am here if you ever need to talk more. We have been dealing with this, plus many more issues with our daughter for 10+ years. (Our daughter has schizoaffective). It is hard to accept that they need help.. but there is help out there for her so she feels better. For years I blamed myself or my husband for the pain she was in. I realize this is something passed from genes, and no one causes it. It is just the hand that God gives us. Hugs to you also ...2 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 192.0
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 Schedule for July. ObG Oct 22 10:30. 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'm REALLY tired. Had nightmares, including one in which I was executed by lethal injection. My mother was there, and I was really sad that we wouldn't be able to do things together any more. I was scared. The anesthetic in the IV was cold. And then it got dark - not in from the sides, like when you faint, but all at once - and I could feel my body relaxing and shutting down, like it was harder to breathe. And then I woke up.
Yeah, that was fun. Not.
And I left my headphones at school, and last night I forgot to take some of my makeup to the performance, and I just feel tired and frustrated and discombobulated.

@clicketykeys How awful that had to be! I hope you can find some time this weekend to take some time for yourself to just breathe and be... Hugs, my friend. xoxox0

Happy Saturday! It's 12:30 already and I've not even showered yet. So, I could call myself lazy, but instead I will say that I slept in because I've been tired and needed it, and then our GD who moved out in June stopped over to do laundry and stayed for a visit and it was wonderful because I haven't seen her in a month or so and it was such a nice visit and lastly, after our GD left, I called my mom and wished her a Happy Birthday and we chatted for 45 minutes and had a nice talk. So, not lazy, just having quality time, right?
I'm hopping in the shower and going to my other GD's high school football game to watch her play in the marching band at half-time. They will be in uniform this week for the first time, so that will be fun. Hoping it doesn't storm and cancel it. It's a big rivalry game, so it'll be fun to watch.
J4T, Saturday:- Journal every bite
- Drink water and track it
- Go to WHS football game
- Research how to use my Apple watch, because it is useless to me right now
- Go to gym I joined this week - treadmill or circuit, tan and massage chair
- Go through the package I got in mail and return what I don't want
- work at how I want to arrange squares for my quilt top, so I can start sewing it together
- "Me" time this evening: mani/pedi? meditate? walk?
- Bedtime routine: Gratitude journal / Inspirational readings / daily dialog / read until I fall asleep
WOTY 2019: TENACITY I will NOT quit. I will NOT fail.

@pridesabtch - praying for your family and your daughter. You are so fortunate she talked to you, too many don’t.
@clicketykeys - is cant imagine having a dream like that.
@PackerFanInGB - not lazy just enjoying the important things in life.
I have been sick all week with a cold and a toothache. I finally went to a doctor last night for an antibiotic to see if that will help the toothache until my benefits start and I can get to a dentist. I had my 3 months in at work yesterday and they are giving me a whole other function to do and I’m quite excited for it.
I want to get back on track with my weight loss and I truthfully don’t have the energy for it right now. Maybe when all parts of my body stop hurting I can knuckle down and get at it. In the meantime I swear on Monday I am getting up and posting goals!2 -

@mytime6630 Sister I hate that this is happening in your life.mytime6630 wrote: »Is there not an external helpline you can call? Over here we have different helplines so domestic abuse lines, women's aid, childline etc. Or even the police? I can't believe what his son told you, truly awful.
But if every option is exhausted then I will pray for you and your brother too. Xx
We had a chance while he was still in the nursing home. My hubby and I were planning on flying to florida .. but then the hurricane happened. And as soon as that was over, she pulled him out of there. Now its all stories ... she tells us the son is a bum and plays the victim (she does not know all he told me), and the son hates her and tells me all this stuff. I do believe the son, because I've met her, and I saw the fear in my brothers eyes with her in the short time they were married. so I am just sick. I keep asking her to let me talk to him, and the only time I've been able to talk to him ... she had me on speaker phone... and she kept telling me how happy he was there, and what good care she is giving him. I asked her to let me talk to him alone ... but he does not have his cell phone anymore. Today I wrote for her address so I can at least send my brother a card ... no answer yet.
I have seen where text messages have been admissible in court as evidence
when someone is harassing, threatening and such. And may be, in some cases
allowed as proof that a party is endangered.
Something to consider. It's clear to us that you're a loving person and that
you mean no harm to anyone. I agree also with Bex and I too am going to be
praying for you and all things concerning you.
Love you Sis❤ Hang in there.2 -

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?

We had a chance while he was still in the nursing home. My hubby and I were planning on flying to florida .. but then the hurricane happened. And as soon as that was over, she pulled him out of there. Now its all stories ... she tells us the son is a bum and plays the victim (she does not know all he told me), and the son hates her and tells me all this stuff. I do believe the son, because I've met her, and I saw the fear in my brothers eyes with her in the short time they were married. so I am just sick. I keep asking her to let me talk to him, and the only time I've been able to talk to him ... she had me on speaker phone... and she kept telling me how happy he was there, and what good care she is giving him. I asked her to let me talk to him alone ... but he does not have his cell phone anymore. Today I wrote for her address so I can at least send my brother a card ... no answer yet.
I have seen where text messages have been admissible in court as evidence
when someone is harassing, threatening and such. And may be, in some cases
allowed as proof that a party is endangered.
Something to consider. It's clear to us that you're a loving person and that
you mean no harm to anyone. I agree also with Bex and I too am going to be
praying for you and all things concerning you.
Love you Sis❤ Hang in there.
Yes Marys right! Any text msgs you have or emails,
And even start writing down when things happen or when you call and you cant speak to him alone.
Just record everything shes doing, dates and times and what she said/did and atleast if things do go tits up you have a chance of getting her done for it.1 -
What a week, I have been really struggling with getting anything done, let alone exercise. I have been under the weather with something, symptoms being exhaustion, sore throat, aches so haven't really gotten much done. Hoping that I feel better by tomorrow so I can at least get my butt out for a walk. Also, have a new goal of 1 lb per month. Yup, you read that right. I would like to slowly decrease these last 10 lbs slowly and make it incredibly sustainable.
Anyway, for now, I am just resting up. Hope all is well with everyone!2 -
Had an easy day today. Yesterday with my girls in Belfast was full on.

WFTY: Climbing. So last week students practiced narrative writing, demonstrating perspective and POV and use of correctly-punctuated dialogue by choosing a villain from our "Top 10" lists and writing the scene in which the hero defeats the villain. TODAY, I revealed to them that in connected with our study of Julius Caesar, they are going to type that scene - but just as Shakespeare surprised his audiences by having the main character be Brutus, they are going to revise the scene so that the perspective character is the villain.
Their eyes got SO BIG and you guys... they were excited to write. I can't tell you how delighted I am.
Definitely an improvement from how the morning WAS going. I didn't have my thermos, the blender was still dirty when I thought it had been washed with the other dishes, so I couldn't make a smoothie for breakfast, I put my school keys in the wrong bag (I think - I hope they're there!) and then when I got to school the internet was down so I was going to have to completely revamp my plans for today. UGHHH.2 -
So far so good for a Monday. Busy morning and it's already noon. Yea! We have a Challenge that started today at work which is being run by the Health & Wellness Department. Anyone wanting to participate can join a group of 4-6 other people and compete groups against groups This week's challenge is no fast food, no eating at restaurants or getting carryout. All your members have to successfully do this challenge M-F to move onto next week's challenge. At the end of the 6 weeks, any teams still standing are eligible for prizes, one of them being vacation days! Crossing fingers....
Have a great day!
