    Good morning all, sorry I've been MIA. I've been slipping into old habits a lot lately, I just spend hours playing computer games and eating snacks, which was my lifestyle when I was at my heaviest. I need to break this cycle, I don't plan on giving up gaming but I need to actually do some physical activity too!

    Also thank you @maryrobinson40 for being my inspiration to post again ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’– you are such a positive influence on everyone in this group and you are amazing!

    @Snowflake1968 Snacking is a problem for me as well. I don't go to bed until 12:30-1:30 am so late snacking could really crush any progress I'd made during the day. Now, I log 5 Ritz crackers and 2 T peanut butter in snacks when I log my breakfast. It's there only to hold calories for evening snacking and I can change it or delete it that night if needed. Perhaps something like that might work for you ... create a "reserve snack" for late night snacks.

    @TerriRichardson112 ok, I admit it ... I'm nosy. I've seen your post about a project for grandson's birthday for quite some time. I'm dying to know, what is it? LOL no worries, just ignore me if you'd rather not share.

    @clicketykeys Congrats on 10 mile run; I can barely do walking program for more than 5 minutes so envy your run!! WTG!!

    @SERmom3 Like you, our weekend weather was lovely so spent a good share of it outside. I'd also like to do a basement makeover but think it will have to wait until this winter when we'll be forced to be inside.

    @bookmeister86 Congrats on the new position!! I also made a couple of lateral moves in my day to gain experience and to do something different. Interviews are always nerve wracking. A few of my friends and I did "mock" interviews with folks who were going for an interview ... it seemed to help them get prepared for the real thing.

    @Kuhl50 Glad you were able to see your parents and that they're doing well. Sounds like your Mom needs a physical outlet. Has she checked out YouTube videos? I'm 72, obese, and am lung compromised so walking vids are out of my scope right now. I found a chair exercise that I find challenging, maybe your Mom would as well. Or, if not this one, another on YouTube might be more to her liking. The one I watch is === Chair Yoga to Loosen up your Back! Stretching the Diamond with Sherry Zak Morris

    @Snowflake1968 That does sound scary!! Do everything you need to do to protect yourself. We're still in lockdown until the end of May with limited opening up for certain businesses this week, more next week, etc. I figure because of my age and health, I'll still be stuck for quite a while but will cautiously venture out as needed ... taking all precautions when I do ... it is scary!! :o

    @PackerFaninGB I think your hair will thank you!! ... plus, gray is the new "thing"!! LOL

    @maryrobinson40 Seems I've always had trouble sleeping and I've always been a night person which made getting enough sleep an issue. About 1/2 hour before I go to bed, I start my "bedtime" ritual: check all doors and windows to be sure they are locked. Check stove, oven, furnace, etc. Turn off all lights. Listen to sleep program called -- Paul Mckenna Official | Sleep .I keep sound low and turn off monitor to eliminate that light as well. I was listening in my recliner but would fall asleep in chair, so now I actually go to bed to listen. First I get a little chilled so as I snuggle into bed, I gradually warm up as I relax. It's about a 20 minute program but I don't think I've every heard the ending. LOL Perhaps a similar routine / program would help you.

    @teigansdad lovely weekend; great weather here as well. Pat yourself on back for doing exercise to "work off" the extra beer!! WTG!!

    @cesse47 Our adult grandson was locked down in his apartment, so we werenโ€™t able to have our normal family celebration for his birthday on 31 March. We were at a loss as to what to send him as a gift. He suggested that he would like us to answer some questions about our lives. We agreed, and he emailed us 56 questions 5 days before his birthday. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Basically, he wants us to write our life story, but we donโ€™t have to answer all the questions, and it didnโ€™t have to be finished for his actual birthday. Itโ€™s not as bad as it sounds ๐Ÿ˜‚ I am writing my memoirs so I have a lot of material already written.

    Itโ€™s 21 pages long so far and weโ€™re about half way through.
    This is the cover

    Scale goals
    End 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
    End of April: 192.6
    Today: 196.2

    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. 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? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
    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. Up again today, but feeling pretty good about it. When I look back at week before last, which was when I had a Saturday long run (and completed it), my weigh-in is lower, and also my Monday check is lower. Even with pizza yesterday! So I'm quite happy about that overall.

    @TerriRichardson112 - I love the birthday gift. I am using my Momโ€™s diaries as a jumping off point to write some of my memories out for my girls. I just have to figure out how to do it for them. Scrapbook or regular book style.

    I failed at logging in this morning as I promised myself. I was a little late getting into work and then got busy right away.

    I have managed to drink 1.5l of water today and that is better than I have been doing.

    Iโ€™ll try again tomorrow.

    Monday
    Not a very productive day.

    Went into work

    Grocery shopped on the way home for us and a friend with Covid whoโ€™s in a nursing home.

    Had our weekly zoom call with my parents and sisters.

    Crashed on the couch early.

    I live in New England and the house is 100 years old. Itโ€™s an old field stone basement. Previous owners had put up the paneling, but never completed the room. It can get water seeping in during heavy rains so we canโ€™t do much more than this. But Iโ€™m happy to have a useful space!

    Thereโ€™s still a little work to be done. New outlet covers, mirrors and maybe lighting, but everything we did was with material we had on hand. My husband made the shelves and the paint was from old projects.

    JFT TUESDAY:
    - Homeschool
    - Log everything / stay green by 100
    - Exercise (cardio & weights)
    - Dishes / Laundry
    - E virtual dance
    - Review middle school transition info
