@Snowflake1968 I'm sorry to hear that, I can definitely see how it could. I actually failed my first semester of college because of it, and when I was at my heaviest I used to play all day, every day. I had to quit for a while and have to be very careful with it now, but luckily I'm now able to log off when I know I should.

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
End of April: 192.6
Today: 196.4
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. 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. I did my run today and it was mostly awful and got progressively worse until I turned the volume ALL the way up and the pain in my ears was worse than the pain in my legs (and my shortness of breath).5 -

@aubyshortcake I hear you on the constant food temptations of being at home with an ever open kitchen.
@Kuhl50 Family support certainly makes a difference. I was lucky that I married into a supportive family. It was sadly lacking in my childhood. My husband and in-laws really encouraged me when I decided to go back into education as a mature student.
@teigansdad I think you are earning that 🍺 with all that physical activity. Enjoy! But not too many 😂
Life has settled into a unexpectedly comfortable state. The only stressor at the moment is keeping food in the cupboard, but I am finding workarounds that limit the stress.
Take care and stay safe.2 -

Good morning! I still didn't stay in my calories yesterday but I was finally in a deficit for the first time in I'm not sure how long, so I will take that as a win! Today I'm going to try adding back in going for a walk and start that as a daily habit again, I think it helps my sanity! I would also like to start adding in little daily things to do around the house to keep it tidier. I think I'm going to start that one tomorrow though, I should add one thing at a time or I'll just say screw it LOL.

Things are getting real around these parts. Tim's company laid off 50 workers Friday and those left are taking a salary cut. The cut is only 10%, so we'll be fine as long as the slide stops there. Worry is that my company will soon follow suit as the two are similar. Otherwise things are going well. When I work from home my diet is much better than when I go in. Stress I guess, and a bit of boredom. At home if things are slow, I can do something else. Here I just have to look busy, that is exhausting, lol.

Spent most of the day worried about the feedback I needed to give to an associate who just isn’t performing to the level they’re being paid for, and has no self awareness of the gaps. The situation is still unresolved, but one step closer. Plus I had to play “marriage counselor” to 2 warring department heads...the kind of day where my emotional energy was being used up on Not Me. Will try for better tomorrow!
I should have written in my gratitude: I am grateful that this thread exists and the people on it are so encouraging that I continue to write my lists and posts because I know this really helps keep me going even when it’s hard! Thank you all.

Man these days off have Been brutal physically. The patio is coming along nicely

Yesterday had some rough patches. Started with early morning Fraud Alert text on our major credit card. Weird b/c I had just downloaded card transactions the night before, and nothing amiss. Since I am the primary cardholder, I needed to deal with Fraud Hotline. New cards are being issued, and once I get them, I will have to update multiple automatic payments scheduled ~ gah!
Later, I had no concerns going to my annual dermatologist appt. but they found two pre-cancerous lesions on my face that had to be frozen ~ my first experience with that. Kind of blind-sided me, although with some family history, that's why I started going, to be ahead of any issues. Resulted in comfort eating in evening ~ ACK!!!!
Today is windy and cold ~ we had a freeze warning overnight, and another one for tonight. This morning, water in the birdbath is frozen and there was a dusting of snow on the patio chair that blew back 5 feet. So it's x-training in the basement for me. Sad dog, but we'll walk at least 4 miles tomorrow and on Sunday. Hope everyone has a great Friday!SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE

New here! To this thread, at least. I've been on MFP for a good 2-3 years and lost roughly 60 lbs. I'm up about 20 of that (currently 24 weeks pregnant) and trying to keep my weight gain healthy and reasonable without going overboard.
My goal for today is to not eat any of the cookies and brownies that the sheriff had delivered to my work for corrections officer appreciation week. I am however allowing myself one slice of pizza because I can make room in my calories today for it.
The brownies are gonna be so hard. Seriously. I swear my self control took a nose dive the last couple months. Wish me luck or give me all the reasons why I don't need to eat any5 -

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
End of April: 192.6

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. 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?

mortar the retaining wall✅
Pick up rose bush and build area and plant it✅❌ purchased but not planted
2 hr trainer tempo ride✅
Stay green✅
Beer only if hang w neighbor and 2 max (feel like sleep quality has been poor)✅❌ no neighbor required 🤣🤣🤣
No m&ms❌❌❌😜
Smart snacks❌
Drink more water today❌
These last three days I’ve built a retaining wall and moved three yards of gravel and three yards of sand by shovel and wheel barrel. This patio is massive!
This being said I’m cutting myself some slack if I slip on beer and m&ms as I’ve also still been doing the trainer and staying green.
Goals for Saturday
Tamp down sand for patio landing
Place final layer of sand
Start laying the pavers... this will probably be a couple days of work as will also require some cutting of the pavers thanks to my decision to make a patio that has cool angles and isn’t just square
Sufferfest workout
Stay green
Bring daughter to get flowers
Beer max 3 ... it’s Saturday 🙂
M&ms stick to max of 1 serving5 -
I am missing lots of MFP friends here on JFT lately. But so glad to see everyone's posts... they really help encourage me, and remind me I am not alone.
Recap F 5/8
1) Move hourly / REMEMBER 5 somethings / hourly stairs break basement to 2nd floor = Fitbit 8,153 steps, 250+ 14/14 boom! 36 floors not too bad for unintentional rest day
2) X-train = unintentional rest day, but busy in kitchen cooking, baking & washing huge pile of dirty dishes
3) Make soup / net calories green / 14c water = Also made corn bread & apple crisp (using up old apples). Unfortunately, evening snack of peanut M&Ms ack! Net cals -203 sodium -26 sugar -27 fiber excellent protein ok 12c water
4) Work from home / webinar 10:00 (pace) / Facebook Live noon / daily/weekly status reports to manager
5) Wash dishes / one other home chore, no matter how minor (it's Friday) / call L? totally slipped my mind but 2nd favorite co-worker called me early evening to chat 
6) Floss / retainers
JFT Sat. 5/9
1) Move hourly / REMEMBER 5 somethings / hourly stairs break basement to 2nd floor
2) Walk dog ~ she & I both need it!
3) No meal plans (oh oh) ~ may order from local restaurant as usual since mid-March #supportlocal / net calories green / 14c water
4) Enjoy time w/ hubby
5) FLOSS / RETAINERS
Again this morning, water in the birdbath is frozen. At least there is no dusting of snow today. Tonight there is a winter weather warning for counties north of us. They may get several inches of snow!
The scale this morning (my "official" w-i day) was not kind. Have only myself to blame: a reflection of too much comfort eating this week, plus two consecutive rest days Thurs & Friday. Evening snacking has been out of control some days. I need to rein myself in and get on with it.SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE

And, no cooking ... think I'll order dinner from Olive Garden, maybe ... haven't done that in almost two months and I think I deserve and need a dinner out (take out since restaurants are still closed to dine-in eating). Maybe even have a glass of wine! read a book, watch a movie, ...
Have a great day Y'all

@cschmitz110515 having to deal with fraud issues is so aggravating and time-consuming; glad it was caught early. Happy to hear the two pre-cancerous lesions were taken care of so quickly! We're having a cold snap as well here in Mich ... have to cover outdoor plants for the next week based on the weather reports I'm seeing.
Evening snacking is my bug-a-boo as well. Even though I "plan" calories for an evening snack it's easy to keep going back for just one more cracker, etc. I'm keeping sugar free popsicles in the freezer for those nights. So, instead of going back for more crackers and peanut butter, or chips and salsa, I have a popsicle. Seems like my brain recognizes it as a signal that that's the end of the snacking.

Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.
