    @PackerFanInGB I wish I could just give you the biggest hug. Give yourself time. Focus on you and the kiddos as much as you can. They are right, we should all remember that. Let them see you making healthier changes, help them do the same. Little steps are all you need for now.

    Much love and many prayers!

    Finally, I have caught up on JFT posts... my heart and prayers goes out to all those with struggles! @pridesabtch gorgeous girls and so active ~ you should be proud, mama.

    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. Cramming all our together time on weekends and my workday lunch hours just not cutting it. It's been three years that he works 2nd shift Mon. - Fri. (I have an office job, so he's gone when I get home from work, I'm sleeping when he gets home, and he's sleeping when I get up). We both know it won't last forever as we're starting to anticipate retirement in maybe three years. But for now it sucks, and apparently I'm eating for comfort.

    Not helped that I have not been walking or working out very much. Crap weather all Sept. ~ We set the all-time record for rain last month, it's raining right now, and only one day this week with no rain in the forecast. Limits dog walks a bit, so sad dog & sad me. I'm grateful we have a good roof and working sump pump.

    Anyway, sorry for the long whine. Keeping goals simple for today...

    JFT 10/1 T
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    2) Meals & snacks prelogged / STICK WITH PLAN / NO SNACKS AFTER SUPPER / net calories zero / 14c water
    3) No matter what happens at work be pleasant :p
    4) FLOSS / RETAINERS / bed & tv off 10:20

    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 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!
