    Had a decent day yesterday, first day back at work was not too bad. I felt like snacking late afternoon but managed to resist and wait until dinner. Quite pleased about that!


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat* :)
    - Stick to pre-logged food :)
    - No alcohol* >:)Decided to have a couple of G&T with the Bake Off. That's two units I can't drink later this week then!
    - 4+ bottles water :smile:

    - No eating while standing :smiley:

    Today will be tricky as we have company away day which means free lunch (and possibly snacks outside that) followed by pub trip. I have a plan for what to eat during the day (hopefully this will be available) and decided what time I'm going to leave the pub. I WILL stick to this plan.

    I’ve been off for a few days, on a business trip. Overall, a good trip, though an idiot rear ended me on the way down on I95 so I need to deal with that. The extra time for the accident caused me to have less time catching up with a friend for dinner before my business stuff started.
    Overall, I did a lot of walking in the city, had very nice weather. Didn’t eat all that well, and the scale shows it. Back to the normal routine.

    JFT 10/30
    Catch up on work
    Practice presentation
    Make soup
    Exercise
    Track
    Stretch

    Hi all,

    Trying to get back into the swing of things. It's hard to start small when you can see so much you need to change. Monday and Tuesday I work later, so I'm looking forward to being done at a more reasonable hour tonight to tackle some things I've been unable to do. This includes LAUNDRY MOUNTAIN, so wish me luck. I'm realizing more and more that, although I do waste time during the week, more often I have too much I expect of myself. That is the bigger problem. Trying to prioritize too much will never work, but I keep getting caught in that cycle.
    @AJB1014 and @Faebert check out all those checks and smileys! So inspiring!
    @HEGoddard0928 Take my oft-unfollowed advice and take care of yourself. It's easy to overdo it and then feel guilty for falling behind. Be kind to yourself.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 193.7

    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.

    Recap T 10/29 ~ Haven't seen dog limping yesterday or today, hopefully she's healing. No dog walk this a.m.
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit battery died at end of evening, so not sure all steps counted. 9,773 steps, 250+ 13/14 & 45 floors (see #4) :)

    4) Evening to-do's: refilled heated & other birdbaths; carried in 18 gallon jugs of rain water & stored in basement (lots of help w/ Fitbit steps & floors); folded hubby's work shirts & my workout shirts; all clean laundry upstairs; shopped online (Packers Pro Shop & took advantage of bday month discount); scheduled Home Depot cc pmt; reviewed flagged emails; washed piles of dishes; reviewed cards box for J's bday card; baited & set 2 mouse traps in garage by birdseed containers (good thing ~ have 1 dead mouse this morning); charged Fitbit
    5) UNPLUG 9:00 nearly ~ 9:05 calling that a win :D / floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / bed & tv off 10:20 :s nope ~ stayed up to watch game 6 of MLB World Series + other (x-train W a.m. before work)

    Another morning when I skipped walk/workout. Tbh, I was so busy & active the past two evenings, plus this past weekend with yardwork, I feel like I'm not getting enough rest. So it is what it is. I will set early alarm for tomorrow.

    Tonight I am indulging in my birthday spa package, paid courtesy of hubby <3 . He doesn't know what to buy me anymore (I feel the same about him lol), so he offered to pay, because he knows I always take advantage of this spa special. Can't wait!

    Good morning! I've been reading and keeping up, but haven't had a lot of time to reply or post my goals. Seems like by the time I get caught up, I have to log off! But I want you to know that I've been here. I had a bunch of replies typed out yesterday on my phone and *poof* they disappeared! I was pretty pissed because I didn't have time to retype it.

    This is my attempt to reply to a few things

    @cschmitz110515 I loved the pics you posted. I actually took pics of our trees and the trees on our street also on my way to work because it looked so darn pretty to have that dusting of snow covering the beautiful bright colored leaves on the trees. I am not a fan of winter, but I do think the first snowfalls are really pretty!

    I don't remember who was talking about using a harness to walk their dogs (maybe auby and Carmella?), but I wanted to add that using a harness on my Maddie makes a world of difference! It's like walking a whole different dog. She still tries to pull a bit (and she lies down flat on the ground if I try to make her pass up a really good stinky smell) but she is a million times easier to walk with the harness! I'd highly recommend it,

    @bookmeister86 LOVE the photo of you in front of the volcano! You are centered just perfectly. Haha! So you went to Sicily this time? OMG, the travels you all do over there just make me want to live there too! I can only dream of seeing Ireland, Scotland, France, UK, Italy, Spain, Skye..... *sigh* :smile: I live vicariously through you!

    @jeschepp I am so happy to see you back! It is overwhelming, isn't it? I know in my previous job, back in 2017, I was so overwhelmed at work that it spilled over into my home life, my health, my family, my joy, my peace of mind... it was hard to figure out what to do first. Can I just suggest that maybe you pick one goal for your body (perhaps drinking water or taking a walk) and one goal for your peace of mind to start with? I did that because I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel and didn't know WHAT the heck to do anymore! So, I tried a few things...I started a Gratitude journal, in which I listed before bed every night 5 things I was grateful for that day. Sometimes I had to really dig deep and wrote things like hot water, electricity, warm bed, etc. Some days even if I had a horribly stressful day, I listed that I was grateful to have a job, grateful to have health insurance from that job, etc. I found that the more I focused on good things, the easier it was to fall asleep at night. Another thing I did was download the Calm app and took 10 to 15 minutes to listen to a meditation each day or evening. The more I worked toward finding balance in my life, the easier it was to add other healthy habits. Does that even make sense? I'm know I'm rambling again. I am still working on losing weight, but I haven't given up! I truly believe our body, mind and soul all have to be in harmony to feel really healthy! Sorry for the novel, but it felt cathartic to remind myself how far I've come too. lol!

    P.S. The book "Beck's Diet Solution" has a really good small step approach to getting healthy. I don't know if you remember @mytime6630 and @bookmeister86 talking about that book? It's another good place to start! :smile:

    To the rest of my JFT family, I know I had things written to many of you, but I'm just not remembering what right now. HUGS 'n Love to all! :heart:

    @chemjenny Sorry to hear that you got rear-ended. Hope you weren’t badly injured. Go to the doctor if you can. Sometimes it takes a day or two for injuries to show up.

    I am so late writing goals that I probably shouldn’t bother, but I have them in my head all day and I want to keep the routine up.

    I worked in the Early Bird Cafe at work this morning. I think I’ll be part of a meeting that will set up some new processes for there that will make it easier for us to get 20 or so residents fed in the time they demand but still have a restaurant feel.

    I have made my costume for the Halloween festivities tomorrow. We as a leadership team are dressing up and will be judged by the residents. Then I’m the afternoon the neighbouring elementary school will be doing a costume parade and the residents will be handing out treats for them. We are expecting 300 students.

    I am going as a bubble gum machine. I will post a pic tomorrow of my costume.

    So sorry I have not had a chance to comment I have been reading but finding time so hard to come by.

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.
