@clicketykeys - that must have felt so good to have the eyes 👀 f your students light up.
@PackerFanInGB - that’s a great idea for a challenge at work. Does each week have a different thing to pass?
I still feel like 💩, I am so tired, my head is stuffed, my ears are funny. Ugh! I am hoping that one day this week I wake up and feel good.
In the meantime I’m not even trying to make goals. I don’t want to make them just to break them.

Good morning! I've been lurking but just lacking the energy to post the last few days.
@pridesabtch that is really great that your daughter trusts you enough to reach out to you about this. You are definitely doing something right. I am so sorry you and she are going through this and I wish you all the best 💖💖2 -
JFT
Water, water, water!
30 minutes exercise
Portion control
Still dealing with the after effects of not feeling well. Managed to walk for 30 minutes yesterday and plan to do a walk/run today. Will make an effort to focus on portions today but not worry so much about what I'm eating. Both are important but I need to pare back how much I'm trying to do at once. Getting back to healthy is easier this time but it's still taking a lot of work.2 -
I have returned to logging & posting. Have been snacking horribly, staying up late, not walking dog ~ due in part to crap weather, part to schedule. Fiscal year end deadline this week so scrambling at work to finish up. Made time yesterday evening for wonderful massage that helped wipe my crappy day away. No time to read backlog of posts but hugs to all the JFTers!
JFT T 9/24
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
2) LOG ALL THE FOOD ~ good/bad/ugly / net cals < 100 red / 14c water
3) Bang through remaining regs to be tested (only 8 left)
4) Evening: clear papers from coffee table, spare desk, kitchen table / update budget s/s / wash dishes / dust? / other?
5) UNPLUG 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / BED & TV OFF 10:20 (walk dog before work W)2 -

1. Journal everything I eat
2. Drink plenty of water and log it
3. Step goal
4. No eating at restaurants or fast food all week.So far, so good.
5. Stairs x 3
I didn't do the stairs 3 times, but I did take a walk with Maddie and picked a street with a long steep-for-me hill...
6. Check off 3 work tasks
7. Self-care today 30 minutesTook my excited dog for a nice long walk and mixed up the route, so new sights for me and new smells for her! I could have taken a different route but chose hill on purpose, so I'm giving myself credit for that. Then took a long relaxing shower afterward. Listened to a couple of my favorite podcasts--Half Size Me and Joyce Meyer
8. Evening Routine to prepare for morning
9. Bedtime routine
Was too tired to journal or read. I watched The Voice with hubby and read more of a mystery on my Nook until I fell asleep, which didn't take long!
Well, I had a good day one day in a row! LOL! Now let's go for two... I'm very determined with this 'reboot' to take care of myself and get healthier. I need to continually remind myself I'm not on a diet...it's a lifestyle change to take my health and my life back. I have not been doing that. I've been moping around being depressed about all the things I cannot do, cannot change, cannot fix, should not eat, did eat anyway, do not have, will never have, etc. I really spent a lot of time thinking about it over the weekend and decided enough is enough. (Now I know I've said this before and never stick with it, and chances are that'll happen again and again, but I feel that if I at least keep coming back and restarting, sooner or later I will make forward progress!)
So, beginning yesterday, actually, I entered appointments on my calendar at the same time each evening to take 45 minutes to harness up my dog and take a walk. I'm sure there will be evenings weather or life won't cooperate, but I will still use those 45 minutes to do some form of activity...whether I turn on music and dance for 30 minutes and meditate with Calm app the other 15, or go to the gym, it doesn't matter...just something at that same time 5/7 nights per week. I am also going to journal every bite without worrying about calorie intake right now. Just get back in the habit of journaling what I eat. I will aim for at least 68 oz of water daily. I have also picked up a small spiral notebook that fits in my purse and whenever I begin thinking of something negative, I will write it down. When I have time, either right away or maybe even at the end of the day, I will reflect on what I can change, if the worry is realistic or just a story I've gotten in my head with no real basis, journal any insights or just pray about the item.
I really am going to try hard to stick to it this time. These are the steps I took in 2017 when my life felt so totally out of control and I didn't know which way to turn anymore. That turned out to be a wonderful year as I was able to handle stress better and ended up with a great new job which actually removed about 75% of the stress!
Sorry for the novel. Sometimes I need to spell things out so it sticks better in my head.
Have a brand new beautiful day, my friends!
:flowerforyou:
Just for Tuesday
Journal every bite
Drink 68+ oz of water and log it
Reach my step goal
30 minutes activity -- keep the meeting with myself!
15 minutes to quiet the mind
Week 1 Work Challenge: No eating at a restaurant or fast food. Eat only what is prepared at home.
Eat only while sitting down
Be mindful of choices
Swallow before taking another bite! (I'm terrible about this.)
Give myself credit for good choices
Journal worries, anxieties & negative thoughts. Write them down to get them out of my head. Address them as time allows but before bedtime.
Aldi's run over lunch hour for a few stragglers that didn't make the grocery list.
Evening Routine: Prep lunchbag tonight, set out clothes for tomorrow, check my station for working at home tomorrow, shower and moisturize, brush & floss, Gratitude Journal, read my inspirational books and/or scripture, bed early to read and then lights out by 10:30.
Word of the year: TENACITY! I WILL NOT GIVE UP!

Yes, it is 6 weeks long and each week is something different. Saturday and Sunday are free days, so it doesn't interfere with birthdays, football game tailgating, or other weekend plans. It goes as follows:
Survivor Challenge:
Week 1: No eating out (no restaurant or fast food)
Week 2: No red meat
Week 3: Get enough sleep
Week 4: Eat more fruits and vegetables
Week 5: Limit Social Media
Week 6: Get enough exercise
Our Team's name is "Cupcakes Anonymous". heh heh...
I'm really sorry you are still feeling like crap! I'm sure you know all the things they say to do about it...but I'm going to tell you anyway! Drink lots of fluids...tea and/or water with lemon really helps. Rest, rest, rest. Try Flonase (I buy the generic) and use it every day. (I was told that by two of the docs I work for.) Dayquil and Nyquil are your friend! xxoo (((HUGS)))

Hey guys! I wanted to see if anyone wanted to create a narcolepsy community group on my fitness pal? I was diagnosed with type one narcolepsy (narcolepsy with cataplexy) this Feb 2019 and I just wanted to have some type of support group through this app if anyone is interested.0

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 194.2
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. Aaaand I didn't bring my protein bars. Darnit! It's almost lunchtime and I haven't posted this because I've barely had time to go to the bathroom. Jeez!3 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 194.2
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.

Congrats @TerriRichardson112!
Great job
So I guess we'll start the next one? I'll join that one, want to lose some of the excess I've put on with recent comfort eating!2 -
I was convinced that the scale would pop back up again this morning but it didn't.
@mytime6630 It's this Challenge! It has really sharpened my act up. This is the best I've done since 2017.
My aim for this year was to reach 155. I've been trying to lose this weight for sooooo long. It was proving really difficult to lose the last few lbs. I would lose a few pounds and then a holiday, celebration, injury, or sickness would derail me. I even went back up to 170 after my summer vacation in July.
I only have another 5 lbs to go before I hit my UGW, so I'm game for a new one, but at this point, I'm happy to leave the field open for someone else, and will record my progress for accountability.============================================================

Good morning all! Yesterday was my husband's birthday so we had a bit of a blowout, but back to it today!
I would like to do the 5 lbs challenge again, I totally fell off last time. I will wait a couple days to weigh though because I know my weight is temporarily up after yesterday and that would be cheating! 😂😂
