    Good morning, and welcome to all the new people!

    Yesterday I was still over maintenance, but less than I have been the past several days, so I guess that's something. I finally weighed myself for this round of the 5lb challenge and I'm actually up 4 lbs from where I was at the beginning of the last challenge! I know some of it is water but still, that was a bit of a reality check to get me back on track. I only have at most 10 pounds to lose so every pound makes a difference and it's so easy to put them back on and so hard to take them back off.

    Here are my stats for the challenge:

    Name: Aubrette
    CW: 116.0
    Goal for this round: 111.0
    UGW: 106-ish (right around there is when I look and feel my best)

    Yesterday 10/9:

    1. Stay within calorie goal😔
    2. Finish work at 5:20😔
    3. Do NOT let stress take over😁
    4. Lay out clothes for tomorrow😔
    5. Cook dinner😁

    JFT 10/10:

    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Finish work at 5:20
    3. Do NOT let stress take over
    4. Lay out clothes for tomorrow

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

    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: What's 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 wasn't sure I'd make 4 miles today, but I did! I'm still incredibly slow, but I'm proud of myself just for doing it. Tomorrow I get to sleep in (a little).

    Welcome newbies! JFT is a great community for accountability without judgment. I recommend changing one habit at a time and keep trying. I'm Carmela and live in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA.

    Recap W 10/9
    1) Walked dog before work 3.26 mi 59:57 & stretched = happy dog & happy me :smiley:@PackerFanInGB You reminded me, I heard an owl the other morning on our walk, too. Love that!
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 15,668 steps, 250+ 13/14 (appt.) & 49 floors :smiley:
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net cals zero / 14c water = Net cals green 46 :mrgreen: , sodium -466, sugar green 13 :smiley: , fiber & protein v good, 14c water
    4) Continue to organize FY19 notes :) in progress / update records request lists :) GA-B a mess due to changes req'd by Asst. Manager & in progress / Cognos online training :neutral: no time / check chapter emails :) including assist to someone trying to pay for seminar online so I felt useful / other? :) assisted KSB with GA-GC Q&A since I did that four years running
    5) Leave office 3:30 :) barely / wellness appt (complimentary life coach) 4:00 - 5:30 :) multiple takeaways ~ best one for me to remember: how I react to "irritations" is MY choice / defrost ground beef :) had to dig around in freezer but finally found it / recharge LED vest :) ready for dog walks before sunrise / wash dishes :) / other? 2 loads of laundry :)
    6) Unplug 9:00 :/ 9:15 / floss :s / retainers :s / body feeling tired lately so bed & tv off 9:45 :| laundry prevented 9:45 but 10:10 was still good (walk dog before work R)

    JFT R 10/10
    1) Walked dog before work 3.3.58 mi 1:03:37, heard owl, stretched = happy dog & happy me :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net cals < 100 red / 14c water
    4) Continue update records request lists / Cognos online training
    5) Evening: choir rehearsal canceled / make meatloaf, cheesed cauliflower & delicata squash (I never had before) / whatever I want to do
    6) Unplug 10:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / prep blood spot test / bed & tv 10:30 (rain forecast & no dog walk F a.m.)

    Today is my 62nd birthday, and it will be low-key by necessity. At work as usual, choir rehearsal has been canceled, hubby works tonight as usual, and BFF out of state on vacation with her hubby. My closest immediate family is 90 miles away, and I didn't feel like trying to wrangle plans with other friends. I may bake an apple sour cream cake tonight b/c I have a recipe I want to try and apples to use. Hubby and I will go out for dinner some weekend to celebrate, and he's paying for my birthday spa package later this month ~ such a sweetie!

    Anyone have any experience in training dogs lol?
    The specific problem is that he goes nuts whenever Ash comes downstairs, barking, jumping, skittish (is that a word?), in your face kind of behaviour.
    And it's only him he does it to, and it doesn't matter if he's been in all day every time he comes downstairs he does it.

    It really puts ash off and gives him worse anxiety. I just want him to calm down around him lol!! It's suffocating!

    @Bex953172 🤪 I found a packet of almost out-of-date microwave popcorn in my cupboard when decluttering. I did have spare calories, that was no good reason to scoff the lot (DH was out for the night!). Most of the calories were exercise calories, which I don’t usually eat back. 😈
    Re question: I had all those and more when was obese. Losing the weight made a huge difference. Now, I only suffer digestive problems if I over-indulge the unhealthy food.

    Oh thanks so much for answering my question. I'm at the very upper end of overweight. I think last time I checked my bmi was 29.5 which was 0.5 off obese! Hopefully I'll see a change too!

    JFT Wednesday
    1. Cancel oil change (found better deal elsewhere) ✔ and ✔ finally got it done
    2. Email about pack n play ✔ but sold
    3. Eat packed lunch ✔
    4. Drink water ✔
    5. Make target list - go to target ✔
    6. Dinner with mom and meme ✔
    7. Bed by 930 ✔

    Today was not great goals wise. I was a bit distracted. Didnt eat my packed lunch, didnt cook dinner at home, hardly any water...but will try again tomorrow and I'm happy to be realizing those things as habits again. I realized work has not been deducting my healthcare premium. We have digital paystubs and im not as careful checking them as I should be As much as id like free healthcare I worried what would happen when it was noticed. So I spoke up and was honest. Sometimes the right thing isnt the easy thing...I owe near a grand now but fortunately we have the means to cover. I stress ate about it anyway as it was quite nervewraking being pregnant and having had all kinds of labs and whatnot. The plan was paid for in full by my employer so no worries about lapse in coverage so no real excuse to stress but I did anyway. Anyway!

    Happy birthday @cschmitz110515 wishing you a healthy and happy 62nd year!!!

    @Bex953172 I'm no dog training pro by any means...but is the dog treat/food motivated, toy motivated? Whatever he likes the most could you have Ash keep some(thing) in his pockets so when he comes down the stairs he can toss a treat to Biggie? And slowly work up to Biggie taking the treat from his hand. Basically slowly start building positive encounters for them both.

    Hi
    Recap:
    JFT Friday 11/10/19
    Watch 3 videos on Software I’d like to get better at 🏋🏼‍♀️
    Buy new shoes 🏄🏼‍♀️
    Stronglift workout B 🧘🏼‍♀️
    Make excel spreadsheets (+ journal) of my spendings from Jul ->Now 🏋🏼‍♀️
    Send an email to R 🏋🏼‍♀️

    Today went quite well, even got a last minute invite for a dinner with new friends tonight.
    I was not so sure I could do it all today and yet here I am, at 4:30 pm and done and dusted.

    Don’t want to jump the gun but this approach of focusing on small goals everyday has made me really happy and efficient. At the end of the day I feel like I accomplished something. I’ve got structure. Anyways, this is really a good time, I know there might be bad days and experiences to come.

    @Bex953172 - can’t answer both of your question but I hope you get to a suitable answer.


    JFT Saturday 12/10/19
    Finish audiobook - The Now Habit
    Journal - 2 negative beliefs
    Choose motivational visuals for wall
    Print said motivational pics
    Open pc to work on CV

I realized work has not been deducting my healthcare premium. We have digital paystubs and im not as careful checking them as I should be As much as id like free healthcare I worried what would happen when it was noticed. So I spoke up and was honest. Sometimes the right thing isnt the easy thing...I owe near a grand now but fortunately we have the means to cover. I stress ate about it anyway as it was quite nervewraking being pregnant and having had all kinds of labs and whatnot. The plan was paid for in full by my employer so no worries about lapse in coverage so no real excuse to stress but I did anyway. Anyway!

    Happy birthday @cschmitz110515 wishing you a healthy and happy 62nd year!!!

    @Bex953172 I'm no dog training pro by any means...but is the dog treat/food motivated, toy motivated? Whatever he likes the most could you have Ash keep some(thing) in his pockets so when he comes down the stairs he can toss a treat to Biggie? And slowly work up to Biggie taking the treat from his hand. Basically slowly start building positive encounters for them both.

    I'll give it a go, I was thinking if we could get him to stay on his bed when he comes down (he knows that command) and we treat him for being calm on his bes and then once ash has finished what he's doing he gets petted? He just loves him so much

    I've been watching loads of Cesar Milan the dog whisperer LOL trying to challenge his energy and skills LOL!
