Looks like I've skipped a few days --- Last couple of days ... BLAH!! Mood was sucky; couldn't get logged on or stay logged on when I did. Inhaler prescription did not get called in so struggling there. Too cold to be outside for me. Just a couple of craptastic days! OK ... enough of that!! Gonna put some fun dance music on and boogie!!

Trying to catch up on posts I've missed ---
@TerriRichardson112 Happy Belated Birthday!!
@bookmeister86 I hear you about the contractor. I have an appointment with two to come in and estimate redoing my bathroom; but can't yet because of Stay Home order ... hoping I can get on their schedules quickly after it's lifted.
@teigansdad just nosy ... what is sufferfest?
@PackerFanInGB I started with a gentle chair yoga which was a good thing. Third week I changed to a different chair yoga program ... and can definitely feel it. It works the whole body but specifically targets the "diamond" shaped muscle/fascia in the lower back.
@mytime6630 I miss those quick grocery runs as well. I used to buy for 3 days max ... now it's for a couple of weeks ... really have to be careful not to graze. LOL
@Snowflake1968 I hear you about the Coke. Been a drinker over 60 years. I've managed to get down to 1/day limit and maybe ... can skip once in a great while. It's hard letting go! I have also scaled down to the small cans which was another big step.
Welcome back to those returning. Posting this one then on to last page to catch up with those posts!

As good as yesterday was emotionally is as hard as it is today. I had post partum anxiety before all this...so some days it rules my world, i feel an overwhelming sense of scarcity - even though we are super fortunate to have so many local resources for food with local agriculture, I worry about the baby things! I remind myself over and over that babies have been raised with far less for all of time and we will make do with whatever, but PPA doesnt listen to rational reasoning. I waste so many hours filling my amazon cart or writing lists of needs, or just obbsessing...but that's why im here, to take things one day at a time.

I went over calories again, but it wasn’t a total blow out. I wanted to snack before dinner, but held out and really restrained myself at dinner. The family ordered out, but I stuck to my grilled chicken salad. I had one mozzarella stick, but mostly kept the food in check despite all the temptations. I don’t like to order out, but our neighbors own a small sandwich shop so we want to support them when we can.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of January: 194.6
End of February: 196.2
End of March: 193.8
Today: 191.6
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.
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 bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Google Hangout.
12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
WFTY: Progress. This is the lowest my weight has been since before Thanksgiving. The suddenness of the drop makes me uncomfortable, but it's slowing down some, so that's good.3 -

SW Year 2017: 217
SW Year 2018: 195.5
SW Year 2019 : 206
SW Year 2020: 182.6
1st GW: 185.4 Met this goal
2nd GW: 175 - and learn to maintain
Ultimate goal: 165-170, and maintainThese are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2020:2020
1. Lose 15 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 165, and then learn how to maintain it.
2. To be better with planning my meals each week
3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a daySW: Jan 3: 185.4Weigh in:
SW Feb 1: 178 (-7.4 lbs)
SW March: 183.6
April 1: 179.0
April 3:179.4
April 8: 181.6
April 15: 180.0
April 15: 177.7
April 22: 176.8
I set my goals while we are "shelter in place" and stuck at home:1. sew as many face masks as I can
2. learn to play the keyboard
3. work on charity quilt
4. exercise at least 30-45 minutes, 4 days a week minimum
5. keep house tidy
6. work in the yard
I was awake last nite until 4AM. I think when I sew I forget all the troubles in the world. I forget my husband has aggressive cancer. I forget that who knows when I will see my son. I forget that my daughter is spirling downhill with depression, yet hides it for sake of her dad and I. So I sew. But I think I have to take a break. Because now, I am exhausting myself making face masks and scrub caps. And then I can't sleep... because all the things that bother me, but are hiding, come out in the evening.
Today is a rainy day, and I am so tired. And when I am tired I want to eat. The ER nurses at the hospital sent me the nicest gift... a care package as a thank you. But... that care package contains 5 candy bars ... M&M peanuts (my favorite), lots of chips, cookies, etc. all the food I am trying to avoid. THis morning I put all the stuff in a zip lock bag, and grabbed the M&Ms, but stopped myself. I am tired.. not hungry.
SO.. JFT, Sat
1. concentrate on water
2. log all food.
3. spend time with hubby
4. laundry/clean house
5. clean up sewing room ... it is a mess!!!
6. plan meals for the week
7. find exercise video to do
8. reflect on postive things in the world ... look and smell the flowers.
We can only control our actions ... we have so little control over what happens. Make the best of this time.SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE - log my food

- Journal every bite I didn't on MFP but I did keep track.
- Drink 75 oz water Yay!!!! I guess there really IS a first time for everything!
- Get a good recording of ECL video for S My final project before furlough, and I completed it. Happy Me!
- Forward meetings to team / contact Leadership members to add others to emails and meetings in my place Done. Very bittersweet.
- 30 minutes activity - text V when I do it Just couldn't get myself to go. Emotional day.
- Deep breaths during meetings today. Remain calm. It's all going to be okay. Remind myself of that. There were no tears in front of anyone else. Goal accomplished.
Another day where I'm feeling a little lost. I can't seem to reign in the anxiety of being furloughed. I still feel I did the right thing by volunteering to take the hit for our team, since I know my husband and I can weather the storm easier than my younger coworkers. They would have struggled to meet the necessities. I felt in my heart that I needed to do it in order to help them the only way I could. Does that make me foolish? Did I cut my nose to spite my face? Or did I do the right thing, by following my heart? Had one of them been furloughed instead of me, I would have been sick to my stomach with worry and guilt. I don't know...what a mess. Doesn't matter, I guess. It is what it is now. Time will tell.
I need to begin thinking of this as a staycation and just use this time to do some of the things I always wish I had time to do. And that is what I will do starting on Monday. For the weekend, I am going to take some quiet time to get my emotions in order. I'm guessing in a few weeks I will be loving being home and not wanting to ever go back to working again. Then a new emotional battle begins, right? LOL
Just for Saturday:- Journal every bite
- 75 oz of WATER
- 30 minutes of intentional activity
- Work on T's quilt
- Dig out bin of spring clothes and pack away winter stuff
- Meal plan for next week & make grocery list
- Read some of the SA dailies that I missed
- Gentle chair yoga to stretch my back muscles

I’m sure it’s just allergies but I feel like I’m fighting a cold. Which is a bad thing to feel right before I intend to go it (from 10+ feet away in their backyard!) my parents to check up on them and bring them hand sanitizer. Hope the allergy meds kick in soon. Overall a nice low key day. Slightly in the red, but well under maintenance calories still.

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.
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 bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Google Hangout.
12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
