Hi all. Had a good day yesterday and hoping to keep up the momentum as we move towards the end of the week. This weekend I have my younger daughter’s 9th bday party which is an escape room and art party followed by a sleepover for four of the girls. Between all the stress of organising, making the fancy cake, all that party food and sleep deprivation from screaming excited girls there are loads of upcoming triggers screaming at me. So the plan is to be super prepared, take any and all offers of help with the physical stuff (I’m not up to moving beds and furniture yet so will have to get help) and stay mindful.
You are a brave woman! The thought of group sleepovers scare me! They sound like too much work even if you’re totally healthy. I can’t imagine doing all that while recovering from surgery! Glad you’re being smart about it though. I’m sure your daughter will love it! 🎈🎉🎁

1/21:
No beer ✅
Under calories ✅
Sufferfest and P90 ✅
Water ✅
Today 1/22
Bills
Hang w wife while daughter in dance class
Under calories ( or at least stay in green, but not aiming for big #s today as have had big deficits last 2 days and don’t wanna put self in a hole)
Ride with buddies on night ride ( I love night rides but hate cold so I’m really on the fence about this)
If I ride w/ buddies , one beer max (gonna only pack one and bring seltzer wAter)
Keep up with water
Making progress I think. It’s getting easier to pass up unhealthy foods as I’m keeping healthy fruits in the house. Friday’s coming up. That’s a tough day usually for me as we have family night and usually yummy snacks. Plus usually don’t work out that day. Oh well one day at a time right?
Great job everyone have a fantastic Thursday!

Little one woke me up at 4 am today. After tending to him, he fell back to sleep at 5:15 am. That left me 45 min. until I had to wake up, so my day just started at 4 am, Lol
I'll have to be cautious today bc of the lost sleep. I tend to want to snack when sleepy; but I may be able to get in a 20 min. nap today if all goes well. Well, like it or not the day is here. I better get to it, Lol!!
♡Stay Positive♡

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
Today: 195.8
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 discussion board 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.

7. Theater: Christie auditions 20-21 7 PM. Usher 24 6 PM.
8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
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.

about equal
- lunch <400 cal, forgot the one I packed so it'll be cafe dry chicken and lettuce. went home and got my lunch. Good choice
- Work in lab a bit today I kind of miss the hands on work
- Log everything. Stay green
- Get at least 30 minutes of activity now that I can breathe again went for a walk, but not great cardio..
- Don't let my schedule overwhelm me...
- Bible Reading
Honestly just wasn't in the right mindset
- Pack clothes for the long weekend in Pittsburgh (probably means doing laundry) Did laundry will pack today
- Skip church to watch dress rehearsal for the play since I will miss opening night the play was awful, the kids did well. It just isn't a good play.
- Bed by 11:00
- No tears for things that are done and gone. Just move on. I did pretty well with this
Yesterday was a good day I feel like I'm back on target, of course I get back on target just in time to spend a weekend traveling and having fun with my daughter. It's challenging for me, but not impossible. I'll take some workout attire, but I'm not sure time will permit exercising. On an up note there should be a fair amount of walking. Snacks in the car are my downfall... I get really tired when I drive and eating seems the only thing that keeps me awake. I think the drive is only about 3 hours, maybe I'll pack some grapes and baby carrots to munch on. I planned on working a full day today, but now I'm thinking I might leave early get some Peloton time in before I go. I may regret running through my vacation so fast, but I think it might just be ok. Next week I have a half day Thursday and off Friday as well. Next weekend I'm traveling with friends and kids, it will be harder to stay on track.

@Faebert I love having group sleep overs I find they are easier than one on one because the kids entertain themselves. Once you get it set up (with help), it will hopefully run itself and you can chill. Good luck!5

Good morning everyone! I love seeing your smiling faces when I read through your posts each day. I'm inspired by your commitment to your own journeys, as well as by your openness, generosity, and commitment to the group.
Didn't get everything done yesterday and stayed up way too late again. I really need to get my sleep schedule worked out. Visiting my mom later today, so I'm keeping my list short so I can work in a short walk before I head down to see her.
