    Hi my crew,

    Had a good day overall but had moments where I felt like such a traitor at work for considering this other job. Man, weighing the options is so stressful. I have to trust that means I'm comparing two good options. I let my friend know I'm interested but want to do a walkthrough/interview so I can get a sense of the culture and vibe. We'll see where this goes! Anyway, I can feel my emotional stress has taken a toll. I came home and binge ate for dinner-the first in a long time!-and I just feel exhausted. Going to bed (somewhat) early tonight. Night, all!

    @pridesabtch You have so much on your plate! Remember to be kind to you and take care of yourself.
    @mytime6630 That was my night tonight. I am working to accept that this is part of the process and where I was at tonight. Tomorrow is a new day.

    Just for Today-Monday
    Get back on track with paperwork ✅
    80 oz water ✅
    Do dishes ✅
    Tidy up for 15 minutes ✅

    I’m a little anxious about our vacation. Staying w in laws.. I’ve got a really good routine but with out my trainer and not in control of meals it stresses me out. Feel like I’ve made progress but still feel like it would be easy to fall apart. Gonna try to look at it as a challenge
    Can you sneak out to a local gym in the morning before everyone is up and about? I find early mornings on vacation to work best for me because i don't feel I'm interfering with family time.

    Sorry...
    JFT Monday
    - Go to work :smiley:
    - Protein bar for breakfast :smiley:
    - Find something to do at work... :neutral: Planned trip to Boston
    - Lunch 300 - 400 calories :smiley:
    - Run about with kiddo :smiley:
    - Laundry :smiley:
    - Make some plans for Boston :smiley:

    I made good progress yesterday, but totally blew calories with a late afternoon binge. Boston trip is looking good. Going to the BU / BC Hockey game Saturday night. Sierra races Sunday morning. Going to see Blue Man group Sunday evening. Then Monday we will do the Freedom Trail, the USS Constitution and Quincy Market for some shopping. We fly out Tuesday. I'm excited about the hockey game, it is a huge rivalry and I went to BU my freshman year of college, "Go Terriers!". I think the line up gives the girls a good view of Boston. Plus of course there will be restaurants and such in between. At least one pub along the freedom trail for sure.

    Still trying to figure out transportation from the airport to the hotel, this hotel does not offer a shuttle. Not sure if uber or a cab is the way to go. We are travelling with another family, making 7 people total will probably need to go separately. Thoughts?

    JFT Goals

    - Not binge
    - Log

    Really if I can do that, I'll call today a success.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of January: 194.6
    Today: 196.6

    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 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.
    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.Fingerprinting tomorrow. Fingerprinting tomorrow. Fingerprinting tomorrow. That means I won't have a lot of time to get ready for the sub. UGHHH so much to do. Weight is NOT coming down like I want it to. It's discouraging.
