    Sunrise after 7 a.m. again, very dreary day and feeling jealous of @PackerFanInGB and retired friends/family snowbirding in warmer climes right now. Rain forecast all afternoon & evening, may turn to snow mix overnight. On bright side, when walking dog Friday evening I heard Canadian geese in flight to the north ~ sure sign of approaching spring!

    Busy morning, shopping washing managed to get a good deal on a whole salmon, so spent a good hour cutting it up and putting it in the freezer, will make a good 8 meals for me and hubby. Cooking a curry tonight only going to have small amount of rice. Still feeling positive,

    Weather looking miserable outside wet and windy think I will be staying in

    I think she's on vacation all this week. Pretty sure she's not snowboarding. A snowbird is a northerner spending time in a southern, warmer area during winter. :D

    @Bex953172 @cschmitz110515 That made me laugh so hard! I guess snowbirding isnt a thing in the UK! Thank you for the wonderful laugh! Lol

    @mytime6630 I hope you and hubby are doing alright. Have there been any symptoms popping up due to the hormone therapy?

    Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks.

    Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’. You decide your own calorie goal.

    @jeschepp Thanks. The test will be tomorrow. I got as much as I could done for our big event Sunday, while my supervisor was still in the building. I will pass on as much of the day to day work to the third in our department while I continue event prep. I expect push back. Luckily for me, I'm feeling stubborn this week.

    Log food <3
    Stay green <3
    10k Steps <3
    Tidy some more. <3

    I don't have high hopes or goals for this week. I'll be doing the work of 3 people. Goal across the board is to not stress eat.

    Log food
    Stay green
    Do cardio
    Do. Not. Panic.

    Monday 9 March

    I didn’t get round to posting yesterday but I was in the green. @TerriRichardson112 please can I have a shamrock for the 7th and 8th. The ☘️ challenge is continuing to help me and, although I’m close to maintenance most days, the scales are creeping downwards. Thank you

    Goals for today

    Log :/ had to guess as I ate out so I tried to pick the higher calorie generic items most akin to the food I ate
    Stay in the green :) think I just scrapped in if I include some exercise calories (I don’t normally)
    5 fruit and veg :)
    Water >:)
    Fitbit exercise goals :)

    A bit of a mixed day, I skipped lunch knowing I was likely to have a high calorie evening meal and did more exercise and I think this was enough to keep me in the green.

    @TerriRichardson112 ☘️Please

    WFTY: DEPTH
    Depth Year - Updates
    I 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.
    03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.
    1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. 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.
    2. Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
    3. Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
    4. Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
    5. 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.
    6. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
    7. 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.
    8. 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.
    9. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.

    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.

    WFTY: Progress. I am SO tired. And my weight is way up. And I'm tired. And my last class yesterday did horribly with their conversation. They tried, bless them, to fake their way through it, but they just did NOT remember much of ANYTHING that they had supposedly studied the previous week.
