Start Date (for me): November 13

GW: 160.5
CW: 165.0
change -0.5 lb2 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Hi all,
Is there such a thing as a TV-binge hangover? Because I watched quite a lot of TV this week and am feeling run down...on second thought it's probably the staying up late and eating crap that went along with it. It sucks that the motivation and energy you need to get back on track is just what you get AFTER. Anyway, I'm going to focus on what I want to do over how I feel. Hauled out my sun lamp today as the weather has just been miserable here-I need some sort of sun, even if it's artificial!
Lack of sunlight can make you feel just miserable! I just got put on a high dose of Vitamin D and I think I'm going to start tanning again. I can feel my mood go down when the sun does! It's going to be a long winter. I've had the TV-Binge hangover before...it sucks! LOL! xoxo2 -

Attend to Happy scale trend - eat below maintenance. Lost 0.2 kg in last 7 days. First time in 6 weeks that I’ve not shown a gain! (Gained 1 kg in last 30 days and 3 kg in last 90 days so lots of work ahead of me to regain the lost ground).

You can do it Tracie!!! That is 21 minutes of exercise everyday!! And for free vacation days ... great incentive!!! Find that fun music video, walk around the block, Leslie walking videos, ..... I know you'll get there!! Plus for me, with this crappy winter-like weather, and no sun, excercise so far is what has really been helping me from getting really depressed and down in the dumps!1 -
Late to the party so it’s going to be a posting and reporting on goals simultaneously!
Sunday was a rest day for me but I cleaned the house thoroughly top to bottom including jobs like the windows, oven and fridge so it felt like a workout in the end anyway!
It was apparently my 1000th day of logging in on MFP yesterday. Now I feel a bit wrong to celebrate that as there has been many a day where I’ve not logged it all or gone off track. But I guess at least I have continued to show up every day, and haven’t given up for over three years now. And I’ve essentially maintained all that time. I’m a bit fluffier at the moment than I like, but it’s only a few pounds more than my favourite weight and I’m on my way back down now. Fingers crossed I’ve got this...
Monday goals:
- morning workout ✅

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 194.4
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.

WFTY: Climbing.2 -
Trying to get back into the swing of things. I've been having difficulty walking since the spring, so it's been hard to get in the exercise that I need. I'm still in significant pain, but I just have to get moving. I bought a new iPod as a motivation, so now I have to follow through.
I just went to the gym tonight for the first time in months. All I did was walk, but at least I made it through the door and hit 10,000 steps for the day. Goals for tomorrow:
Tuesday:
1. 10,000 steps
2. Start tracking liquids
3. Walk on both work breaks...heck, TAKE both work breaks
4. Swim at least half a mile
5. 6 hours of sleep3 -

Every night I come home and think to myself, "I dont want to do any of this! but what else would I do anyway?" So then I do it, and its always less of a pain just doing it for 10 minutes when I "dont want to" than letting it all pile up and wasting a whole day tackling the mountains that have formed from what were previously mole hills. But it's still a lesson I'm learning...and hopefully some day I'll quit complaining about it all together. Because I am fortunate that I have these things to do! I'm excited for Thanksgiving - but time is flying by so friggin fast and I'm getting a little anxious about all the things we have to do to get ready for baby on top of all that comes along with the holidays. I know its supposed to be a happy celebrating time but it can be so easily lost in all the frivolity of gifts and parties and shows on grandeur! Meanwhile I really just want to stay home and nest... I'm also mourning my dad a little - he moved to FL and we grew apart a LOT. It's not a strained relationship anymore its just not what I ever envision when I was younger. And now with a baby on the way and me up in MA I know he's going to miss out on a lot. I've got a super awesome stepdad that is really excited for baby though. He's going to help DH paint the nursery and do all those dad things with us. Also not what I had pictured when I was younger, but my dad relationship and my stepdad relationship swapped roles somewhere along the way and its all working out. Man, the hormones are getting me again!!!!

@Faebert Awesome milestone reaching 1000 days logging on MFP. The fact that you check in & are mindful while on maintenance is a BIG deal, even if you don't always log food or work out. Remember balance. You are my inspiration!
Recap M 11/18
1) X-trained (circuit/weights) before work =
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 10,202 steps, 250+ 14/14 boom! 41 floors
3) Eating up leftovers today / prelogged food so stick w/ plan / net calories zero / 14c water = Looked like net cals were just green, then realized I clicked on wrong food earlier in day... net calories -43 sodium green sugar -28 (mostly fruit/veg) fiber & protein good 12c water
4) Conflict of Interest forms / email records request surprised to receive docs within 30 minutes so spent day completing review / verify 2019 CPE report / clear up Inbox backlog no time / Cognos training? no time / other? finally remembered to water office plants
5) To-do's: 5:00 parade meeting / calculate 2020 FSA w/h & submit form no time / put away clean dishes / fold line-dried laundry & take upstairs / call Breadsmith w/ Thanksgiving order / meal plan & grocery list / other? got out hand/foot warmers & clothes layers for Sat. parade, decluttered some in family room, went thru mail pile, updated green notebook, cuddled w/ Kitty & still upstairs before 10
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS sometimes the only reason I do this is to give myself a smiley on this list / RETAINERS ditto / bed & tv off 10:20 (rest day T)
JFT T 11/19 ~ Rest day today... have my workouts planned to accommodate work/other schedule this week
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
2) Meals & snacks prelogged / stick w/ plan / net calories zero / 14c water
3) PA-F initiation memo / clear Inbox backlog / Cognos training
4) Evening: grocery shop / mail birdseed order / mail zoo renewal form / pick up kitty food at vet / calculate 2020 FSA w/h & submit form / wash dishes / other?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & tv off 10:20 (treadmill W before work)3 -
Thanks for the words of congratulations @littleblackskirt and @cschmitz110515! I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be as regular on here if it were not for the awesome members of JFT!
Another late post today - work is just so hectic. But I actually only have a couple of weeks now until surgery and then a long period of time off. I’m trying to make sure I hand everything over totally ship shape and organised. And to stay focused and not get too stressed about what’s ahead...!

Scale goalsEnd 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 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 Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: Mary Poppins Nov 22. Something in December - Check and add.
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 rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
