Yesterday's wins were laundry and grading. Lots on my plate today, but I'm determined to get to the gym. It's a dreary day, so I'm stuggling to get going this morning.
I'm taking on two new resposibilities, a 7-week course in teaching online and a weekly tutoring student, both starting today. So I really need to focus on getting things done efficiently and spending less time on media.

• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit – almost – 23 calories over
• Gym and/or walk outdoors – X – dressed for the gym but got bogged down with grading
• Household chores 30+ min – 50%

Recap W 2/5
1) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories green / 14c water + Net cals green 63 , sodium -1,117 yikes, sugar green , fiber excellent, protein almost good, 14c water
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings / walk dog after work & stretch after = Fitbit 15, 341 steps, 250+ 13/14 & 50 floors. Walked dog 3.49 mi 1:01:34 (forgot to stretch again) = happy dog & happy me! What a difference fully charged headlamp & LED vest make ~ one other walker and later kids we met commented on our lights. Good ~ I want drivers to see us, since we have no sidewalks to walk on.
3) PA-BB finish report draft & submit folder for review / BC-CC review docs & call Lee / clear inbox backlog (again) / G-PT if time nope
4) To-do's: prep squash at lunchtime / squash in oven before dog walk / reply to El's email (so good to hear from her, it's been too long) / put clean dishes away / prep clothes & lunch for R workplace lunchtime snowshoe hike / prep bday card/gift for Wills & mail / bake Kodiak Cake power muffins too pooped / other? balanced bank accts, watered (some) houseplants
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss ONLY b/c on this list / retainers ditto / bed & no tv 10 10:30 (x-train R before work)
JFT R 2/6
1) X-trained (weights/circuit) before work = happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
3) Change clothes & leave early for workplace lunchtime hike; not sure since snow has repeatedly melted & refroze, and is very crusty, if we'll use snowshoes or just walk
4) Prelogged meals & snacks / net calories green / 14c water
5) BC-CC review all add'l docs provided / draft APG
6) Evening: make planned supper / choir 6:30 / pick up milk, bananas on way home / water rest of houseplants / update budget s/s / other?
7) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & no tv 10:20 (F rest day)
Valentine Day Challenge net calories green = 3X (3,4,5)
Since my weight is stagnant (at least not gaining), I'm wondering how accurate my logging is lately. Have set MFP to lose 1/2 lb. per week. Net calories have been barely green most days. Sometimes I weigh/measure food, not always. Sometimes I eat food prepared by others (workplace, winter market, etc.), and have no idea how to accurately log. I always eat my exercise calories and notice calorie burn in MFP database, Fitbit & MapMyWalk can vary widely for same exercise. Something for me to keep an eye on and maybe make adjustments.
2020 Goals1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2/1/20
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk 2/14 -

It feels like we are in two different worlds right now...he is retired and moves, thinks and talks really slow lately; I am still working full time at a fast-paced ever-changing health care Quality Department. I find myself feeling like I want to pull the words out of his mouth and push down the gas pedal to make him at least drive the speed limit.
UGH. I hate feeling this way. I know it hurts his feelings, like he "doesn't do anything right" anymore. I have to get a grip. Thanks for letting me say this out loud! - Lymphatic massage on right arm

Well today needs to be better than yesterday! I have to stop being crabby and lazy. Wish me luck...I don't have a fairy Godmother who can tap my head with her wand, so...
Tomorrow morning is my first lesson with the personal trainer at the gym. I have to be there at 0700 and I am not a morning person, so this shall be interesting! I'd actually really like to train myself to get up earlier and workout or take a walk so this might be the thing that gets me moving in the right direction! I'm SO excited about this! I really want to get the most that I can out of this corporate challenge! It's a fantastic opportunity.
We got rid of cable tv yesterday, so I'm kinda going through withdrawal from that! I am not sure how I'm going to be able to watch the Milwaukee Brewers games this year without cable. Hoping to find a way!

Ugh. I’ve been at least writing food intake since Sat. & entered all day Tues, Wed until after dinner snacking set in, and today. Every day showed weight gain over next 5 weeks—Tues showed 20lb gain! Yup, it’s been leftover party cheese & cookie fest at the house this week, plus hours in front of the screen for online trainings for work. (yes, job finally started). gotta get myself back on track... but cheese is irrestible to me.3

Hi crew!
Today was a better day. I set an intention around catching up on urgently due paperwork today, and set a longer-term plan to be FULLY caught up by April. I know that seems like a long time, but I am quite behind. Was able to catch up on notes that were due tomorrow, so that felt good. Came home and made a healthy version of a burger with avocado and tomato and YUM I swear it tasted as good as fast food. I was able to do some tidying up and my place is finally shaping up from since I got sick. There are certainly things left to do, but today I hit a tipping point and feel like I can see the light for feeling like I have my *stuff* together.
@kuhl50 Thanks for sharing your motivation! It's great to see you doing so well with goals!
@bookmeister86 I have had those days! I never know when the cravings will strike! Tomorrow is a new day, and kudos to you for the great mindset
@teagansdad what is Zwift?
@azulvioleta6 Nice work with all those smileys!
@cschmitz110515 I found I had to really measure everything to be sure on what I was eating. Once I was more confident I was able to eyeball my portions. I also recommend the Mayo Clinic guide:

I didn’t get all of my water in but I got more than I have been so I’ll take it.
@TerriRichardson112 - I saw your challenge for the roses. I’m game.
I need to go back and catch up on posts I have just skimmed this week. Hopefully I can find time this weekend to do that.

Yesterday wasn't amazing. I didn't feel super well, very tired and with a fuzzy head. It was odd as I hadn't actually drunk that much the night before. But on reflection I thought that maybe, even though I hadn't drunk much, I had been out and drunk a little two nights in a row and therefore perhaps the cumulative effect was too much. I always get a little less sleep when I go out as I go to bed later, and alcohol also lowers the quality of your sleep (I learned this in a book called Why We Sleep which I highly recommend). So maybe two nights out on the trot is just too much for me these days! (Or at least it is at a time when work is very tiring).
Anyway, I decided not to drink anything at all yesterday - despite boyfriend coming home with French wine - and I think this was a good decision.
I also had a bit of a revelation. I had planned to eat sensibly at home and end up in the green. But then because the boyfriend was coming home I was really feeling like going out and having nice food and cocktails. And I was really tussling with whether to go or not. Particularly as I'm trying out an approach where I try to adopt a lifestyle that I think fits with the long term lifestyle I want, rather than a short term restricting lifestyle that sheds pounds quickly. And being able to go out and celebrate, sometimes, is part of that.
But then I realised that, discipline - which is what you need to reach your goals - means doing what you planned to do EVEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE DOING SOMETHING ELSE. If you make plans about what to do/ eat and then change them as soon as you feel the slightest bit emotional, you will never reach your goals (or have a very hard time doing so).
That doesn't mean to say you can NEVER change your plans based on your feelings. That would be terribly boring and also sometimes feelings really are too strong to avoid it. But in terms of the regular ups and downs of 'normal' life? They shouldn't dictate what you do. YOU should dictate what you do.
This might not sound like a mind blowing revelation. I did know beforehand that it isn't a good idea to eat based on feelings. But you know sometimes you can know something but not really know it or get what it really means?
So I went home. And made healthy dinner. And ended in the green.
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 2-3 units alcohol Actually didn't have any
- 45+ minute lunch break
- French article I don't think I can manage doing this. I had thought I could read one while eating my lunch but in reality I just need to turn my brain off at lunch. Am going to try to read a book in the evenings instead.
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions Forgot
- Positive affirmation cards Forgot
- Finish by 5.30pm 5.45
- Talk to boyfriend in French Forgot
- Do laundry
- Read rules of new board game Forgot
- Gratitude journal Forgot!
- Lights off by 11
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Positive affirmations
- Finish work by 6pm

Depth Year - UpdatesI definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.Daily Goals

I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
- Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
- Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
- Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
- I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
- 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
- I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
- 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
- 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
- Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!
- Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise

Morning! Yesterday was a fun and exhausting day. I subbed for the elementary school gym teacher! A lot of work, but also fun! I ended up walking 13 MILES during the school day!
Thursday:
- subbing for the gym teacher 🟢
- Organize music🔴
- Laundry🟢
- Dishes🟢
- continue cleaning house for bday party🟢
JFT Friday:
- Subbing for kindergarten today
- Laundry - This is getting tricky...my dryer is broken so I have clothes drying near all the heaters in my house! I’m trying to get it all done and dried before my daughter’s famiky party tomorrow!
- Dishes
- Oldest daughter’s friend party this afternoon - kids are coming home from school with us and then we’re headed out, so I won’t have time to get anything else done!
I’m trying to figure out how to get everything done in the next couple days. With my daughter’s friend party tonight and family party tomorrow, plus I’m singing for a funeral tomorrow morning. I’m running out of time. I think it might be a late night tonight!4 -
Thursday: success
Friday goals
Today is a easy but hard day for me. I always try to take Friday as family night. Skip work out and hang. Daughter is having another sleep over so that means pizza. The stuff is my kryptonite.throw in a New England style IPA and my Mr Hyde comes out (in as far as eating and drinking with no thought of caloric restraint).
Goals for today
Stop at store on way home. Cats need food, and stuff for soup
Call wife on way home (in case we need more stuff while at store)
Log all my food (even if it hurts)
Eat the lunch I packed and not food from work
No more than 500 calories in red. (Ideally stay green but today is my “ forgiveness day”)
No beer.

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.
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: 1984 auditions 27-28 6:30.
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.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Find cousin photos.
WFTY: Progress. Everything sucks. Lost yesterday due to flooding. Went on a run and sprained my ankle. Left my script at school, so I had to use the digital copy on my phone. Rehearsal was 2 hours and I was only needed for about 15 minutes. Maybe that was good, given that I didn't have the paper copy to write down the blocking.
I guess that's not EVERYTHING. Just a lot of things. UGH.4 -

Yesterday was pretty good, I got a lot of personal things taken care of including booking our trip to Boston. I got a great deal which makes it even better. Tim had looked at airline prices the night before and it was $127 each way per person. I got 4 round trip flights and 3 nights at the Double Tree for less than $750. Originally, just Sierra and I were going to go, but at that price the whole family can go. Super excited to show kids around Boston. It is one of my favorite cities. I went to school there my Freshman year before transferring back to an instate school. I was 17 and went from rural WV to Boston taking crazy hard classes for a freshman (Molecular Cell Biology, Organic Chemistry, Japanese and 3rd semester calculus) I pretty much self destructed and lost my full ride (OOPS). I still love going back and walking the city.
Vanessa didn't get the part she wanted in the HS play "Back to the 80s", but she did score a featured solo "Love Shack". I think she'll be happy. She was in bed when the cast list was posted so I knew before she did.
First real snow of the year here and school is cancelled and Tim is off. It sucked to have to crawl out of the warm toasty bed knowing everyone else could stay snuggled in all day if they wanted. I do love snow though...
