    I don't have time to read but will go back and catch up tonight! I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I'm thinking of you all.

    Friday evening I received a call that my ex-husband, my kids' father, passed away suddenly of a massive heart attack. It was such a shock and needless to say, I'm still dealing with emotions of my stepdad's passing, my mom's grief, my stepdad's sister just passed last Tuesday and now my exhusband whom was a HUGE part of my life. My kids are devastated and I've not taken it well either.


    Every day is a gift, so let's enjoy today! :heart:

    OMG -- will it ever end for you. This has not been a good year, has it. Prayers and hugs dear friend! <3

    I have been eating all. the. food. again, mostly at night. Not sure why, probably related to hubby and I really missing together times on weeknight evenings. C

    I hope you and hubby are able to find more time together. I am fortunate in that my hubby and I work at home, so we do see each other 24/7.
    As for the eating at nite, this is also my biggest problem. I do great all day, only to give into nite time stress snacking. I am trying something different this time. Instead of saying no snacking in the evening, I am trying to limit my snacks to only fruit, veggies, or hard boiled eggs. That way, I can still snack, and hoping to turn it into a more healthy snacks. For awhile I was eating walnuts, but those are so good, I would end up grabbing handfuls at a time .. not even realizing how many I was eating.

    I hope your day goes better, and hoping you and hubby get more time together.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 196.4

    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 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. If I don't stop overeating, I won't stop gaining weight. It's that simple.

    @pridesabtch - lovely girls, you have a lot to be proud of.

    @PackerFanInGB - I’m so sorry to read you’ve suffered more loss. It’s hard to remember to care for ourselves during these times but it’s so necessary. I was 190 yesterday, I know how you feel.

    @cschmitz110515 - a lot of my snacking is happening at night too. I’m also making very poor decisions at lunch time. It’s just easier and tastier.

    @mytime6630 and bex953172 - it’s nice to see you both posting again.

    Now a couple of pictures of my baby girls from Homecoming Weekend. I was with V so she got some individual pictures. Sierra was with a group. Sierra is in red. They also had a regatta that day and Sierra got to race the single for the first time. I'm a proud momma.

    And you should be a very proud momma. ... your girls are absolutely beautiful!

    @PackerFanInGB I am so sorry for everything you're going through, big big hugs.

    I did not do well yesterday. After I thought I was done logging I just got intense cravings and went nuts. Today is a new day.

    Yesterday 10/1:

    1. Stay within calorie goal😔
    2. Finish work at 5:20😔
    3. STOP AND THINK before reaching for all the snacks😔

    JFT 10/2:

    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Finish work at 5:20
    3. STOP AND THINK before reaching for all the snacks
    4. Cook dinner

    Argh finding it hard today! I think because yesterday was first day back and I was actual within my calories my body just wants me to stuff my face. It's 1pm I've just had lunch and I have 800 cala left for dinner. Which is more than enough and I do have to walk to school and possibly exercise later. Just hoping I can control it today lol!

    I've had 4 waters so far today so on track for 8 today!

    WFTY: Climbing. Running outside is just plain harder for me. I couldn't even manage a mile without dropping to a walk. :( BUT! My weight has dropped a good bit - I'm hoping it's an ACTUAL drop and not just releasing water since I haven't lifted in a week. Fingers crossed.

    Fingers also crossed for one of our furbabies. He did not come scampering out for breakfast with the other two and just seemed uncomfortable and unhappy. Husband has called in to school and is taking him to the vet. I hope everything is okay.

    Is that running outside as opposed to running on the treadmill? You might be running too fast and wearing yourself out - I used to do that a lot. I'd recommend starting really slowly - so slowly it feels odd - and then gradually building up the speed as you go. That might help! It is harder though. One of the other tips I've been given is when you run on the treadmill, run with an incline - even a very small one. That's more similar to outside conditions and so it doesn't feel as hard in comparison when you run outside. Hope that helps!

    I hope your furbaby isn't too sick and gets better soon. It's horrible when furbabies are sick, they feel like our real babies (speaking as someone who hasn't had a baby, of course). Sending lots of positive vibes for a speedy recovery your way!

    SOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo...you can probably guess I've been eating whatever the heck I want whenever the heck I want. It's terrible and I'm only about a half pound away from 190 which will be my highest weight ever. I need to get this *kitten* under control. I asked my kids what I could do for them...how I could help. Their answer? They asked me to take better care of myself because they couldn't stand it if they had to go through this with me.

    Really sorry to hear you have had sad news again, this has been such a tough year for you. I'll be thinking of you, and sending virtual hugs. I hope you can feel them. Don't feel too bad about supporting yourself with food - it is a natural response and I think all of us on here do it! (I do). But if you do feel up to attempting to react differently, I recommend indulging yourself in self-care activities that nourish you and make you feel good. I recommend hot baths (ideally with candles and bubble bath) - they never fail to lift my mood a little. Take care x

    Starting weight 188.6
    Current weight 187.4 (probably water weight)

    JFT - Tuesday Oct 1
    2L of water - 🌻
    Log all food -🌻
    15 minutes of exercise - 🌻
    5 something at bathroom breaks - 🌻

    JFT - Wednesday Oct 2
    2L of water
    Log all food
    15 minutes of exercise
    5 something at bathroom breaks

    For the first time since I don’t know when I actually got all my water in, and even though it wasn’t part of my goal was only 40 calories into the red after logging everything.

    I am determined to end this year in the 170’s. I know this upcoming weekend will be a struggle as I’m going to my cousins for a girls night, but hopefully it’s just a blip on the scale.

    I’ll catch up with posts later.
    Have a great day everyone

    Yesterday I was in a good place at work & manager was ok with me leaving office one hour early, so I treated myself to Downton Abbey movie ($5 Tuesdays). No movie snacks, and supper a little later than usual. Thought of snacking while reading and listening to MLB NL wild card game (heavy rain again meant no satellite reception on tv), but somehow I pushed those sabotaging thoughts away and went to bed. Happy me (except Brewers lost).

    Recap 10/1 T
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 7,627 steps, 250+ 12/14 & 34 floors :|
    2) Meals & snacks prelogged / STICK WITH PLAN / NO SNACKS AFTER SUPPER / net calories zero / 14c water = Net cals green 27 :mrgreen: , sodium -581, sugar -15, fiber & protein good & 13c water
    3) No matter what happens at work be pleasant :p = decent day & handled one incident w/ ASSt. manager well :D
    4) FLOSS >:) / RETAINERS >:) / bed & tv off 10:20 :| maybe 10:30?

    JFT 10/2 W ~ Another overcast, humid & dreary day but it's Hump Day!
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings / Fitbit 10,000
    2) Meals & snacks prelogged (eating up leftovers) / NO SNACKS after class / net calories zero / 14c water
    3) Do some planning at work / clear Inbox somewhat (it's a disaster) / declutter little work table (anxiously awaiting new paper shredder)
    4) To-do's: balance bank accts / donation? / make xfer / update budget s/s / GBBG class (put your garden to bed) 6:00 - 7:30 (take notepad & water) / meal plan & grocery list / other?
    5) FLOSS / RETAINERS / bed & tv off 10:20

    Well done! I'm struggling with the snacking today, just got an extra 100ish calories from walking to school and then ate a cake when I got back which was 100ish cals LOL!
    So back to where I was! Still got plenty but I just feel hungry today. But I'm resisting!

    JFT Tuesday
    - Eat 3 meals and one snack (homemade mixed berry sorbet) - I only had one sweet, but I had many snacks. Still Better.
    - Drink water and only 1 soda - :) Surprising, but true.
    - Dinner as a family - 3 out of 4, but it was Subway, not home cooked
    - Log my food, its ok if I go over a bit as long as I log accurately - :( yeah, no. Complete fail
    - Laundry because there is always laundry - :( Nope ended up running too many errands.

    JFT Wednesday
    - Log food
    - Enjoy time with the teens at church this evening
    - Read my Bible, this has been a fail lately
    - Bed by 10:30

    Positive thought: Even though you need to take out a loan to buy a new phone, the new phones are really nice.

    Today I hope to do a little better than yesterday. My motivation for life in general has been really low for the past 6 months or so. Even when I feel I'm having a normal day, I struggle to do everyday things like go to work. The weight causes the depression and the depression causes the weight. The only exception is severe depression. Then I lose weight. Being crazy sucks.

    Y'all have a great day and enjoy the sunshine if you are lucky enough to have it. We are unseasonably hot right now and I kinda like it.

    I totally get what you mean!! Now my "low level" depression makes me eat more and put on weight. But when I'm really really really down I can't eat and lose weight! It's madness!!

    My motivation was at an all time low too, and yesterday I kicked butt! Today I have to try a lot harder but as long as I do the same or better each day I'll get there! And so will you! Are you taking part in the challenge?

    I hope your furbaby isn't too sick and gets better soon. It's horrible when furbabies are sick, they feel like our real babies (speaking as someone who hasn't had a baby, of course). Sending lots of positive vibes for a speedy recovery your way!

    Well, MFP claims that I'm not actually running. I'm SOOOO SLOW. Like... four miles an hour... if I'm lucky. It took me 32 minutes to get two miles in this morning. It sucks SO much. MFP says four MPH is walking. UGH.

    Furbaby had a UTI, poor dear. Husband said once they got back home he did start eating and seemed a lot better. So, yay!

    I just don't like exercise, and I like overeating. It's an unfortunate combination :joy:

    Phew, just did my Sweaty Betty workout! It's killer!

    Still need to log final bit of food and I'll know how I did today! But I think I've done good!

    Goals for tomorrow
    1. mindful eating - did much better today
    2. drink 4 glasses of water before I drink a diet pepsi - no, because I went out for breakfast.
    3. 8+ water - but ... I did manage to get in my 8 glasses ... 2 with each meal, and 2 more tonite
    4. drink water in the evening ... no snacking, or just ONE planned snack -- had a bowl of cantalope ... and that will be it for tonite!
