    Well buying bigger pants did make me feel more comfortable with my day to day body because I wasn't squeezed in or bulging out. Unfortunately, it also made me less aware of my situation. I've put on another 7 pounds in November. That is just crazy even with the holiday. My weight this morning (up a tad for TOM) was 0.2 pounds from my "I will NEVER be that big again" weight. It's all very discouraging, and a bit pathetic being that weight loss is not rocket science. Actually, truth be told I can do rocket science...

    Things have been going well for me other than weight and I have had a LOT of changes and challenges this year. As that all lines out, I'm going to work on getting my mind in a more positive place. Positive people attract positive people and positive energy. I want that in my life again. I grew up in a very negative environment and I was well on my way to perpetuating that environment when one day I realized what I was doing. I didn't make people around me happy, I was snide and bitter. That was not who I wanted to be. I made great efforts to rebuild myself in a more positive way. With that came energy, health, friends, fun and even self confidence. Somewhere over the last 5 years I've lost that person again and fallen back into old habits of self pity and self hatred. It has left me sad, woefully tired and without much happiness.

    I'm not saying all of my problems can be solved by positive thinking, but I am saying that if I face them with an expectation of a positive outcome rather than an expectation of failure, life will most definitely be better.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 195.8

    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.

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.

    @pridesabtch I'm sorry you've been struggling, I feel like negativity can be a lifelong struggle and I'm proud of you for recognizing that you're slipping into old ways and doing something about it. Just this week I've made the decision to force myself out of this slump I've been in..I know it won't be the last time it happens but I think if we prepare for those times ahead of time we can fight them off when we sense them getting near. You've got this!

    @ZizzyBumble you are extremely talented!!

    I did my workout for the first time in 6 months and wowwww I've gotten weaker and much less flexible. Oh well, it feels good to be back at it!

    Truth be told, we'd like to try for a baby soon, hopefully after the holidays. I would really like to get a little of my fitness back beforehand so I can continue exercising (with doctor approval of course) throughout the pregnancy. So I better start now!

    Yesterday 12/3:

    1. Stay within calorie goal😁
    2. Finish work at 5:20😔
    3. Do workout😁

    JFT 12/4:

    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Cook dinner
    3. Do not let stress take over

    JFT Goals

    - Work on time :(
    - Log all food :smiley:
    - Protein bar for breakfast - LOG IT! :smiley:
    - Grilled Chicken salad at lunch - LOG IT! :neutral: Did a breaded chicken...
    - Breath in to clam my body. Breath out and smile. :smiley:
    - Shrink at 4:00 therapist at 5:00 :neutral: Skipped the 5:00pm due to family scheduling conflict
    - Cook Dinner - Stir Fry veggie & chicken - Log It! :smiley: Made it, but had eaten junk before so...
    - No alcohol :smiley:
    - Bed by 11:00 :smiley:

    Did pretty well on my goals yesterday. I'm happy with that. I was way over on calories (again), but that's ok for today.

    When I got home yesterday, there was a package delivered that I wasn't supposed to see. I didn't open it, but the name was on the box. Hubby got me a PELOTON for Christmas!!! I'm so excited!!!! One of my big hurdles right now is embarrassment to go to the gym now that I've gained so much weight. I didn't workout at home, because none of the workouts I tried could keep my interest. Biking and spinning were a big part of my life that I look forward to regaining. Yea me!

    I guess he had gotten me a very nice diamond necklace I'd seen, but returned it after I started talking about liking the idea of the Peloton system. They were about the same price and I'd much rather have the bike. He did good. The box was just accessories, the actual bike won't be installed until 12/26. 2020 may be the year I get my mojo back!

    No I don’t sell cakes, I like to do something special on the Christmas cake for my own satisfaction. It is ready made blue fondant icing. The snowflakes are made with Mexican paste. This paste is used for modelling and does not stretch like fondant. It quickly dries and is not too brittle. I rolled small amounts of Mexican paste thin then used a snowflake cutter. Snowflakes were then heavily sprayed with edible glitter and left to dry overnight. I stuck them onto the cake with tiny blobs of sticky icing (I added a small amount of water to a bit of the left over blue icing). The cake then had a light spray of glitter.

    Greetings wonderful people. Have been traveling, T'giving, and now getting the house Christmasfied and clean for 7 couples to stay the weekend! So, I have been absent for a while and will probably disappear again at least until after Christmas. But I did want to invite y'all to the next Bible study on Bible.com. We actually started today---it incorporates the Christmas Carols. As always, all are welcome. If you are interested PM me, please! Today's question is what are you rejoicing over this Christmas season. For some it will be Christ's birth, and for others it will be that all the family will be gathered, or that you are have Christmas on a boat heading for a warm tropical island! Or a combination.

    I am purposing to have a calm and joyful Christmas season...so far, so good. The funny thing is, I haven't put up a full sized Xmas tree since 2007. This year, I've put up three! But I'm not fixated on getting every ornament just right on them, etc. Even with the upcoming house guests I am not frantic (not having to cook is good. They are doing all that stuff. We are just providing a place!) It's a good feeling and I hope I can continue it.

    Peace and joy!
