Will not have a good number tomorrow morning! Need to reel it back in. Too hot to exercise, too (heat wave, near 100...this is when not having an air-conditioned gym to go to is sad!). Tomorrow is another day...

JFT Goals for Monday, May 26, 2020
Log everything; Be mindful of everything I eat - try for lower carb/sodium choices; drink 8+ water
Do 30 min Chair Yoga
Do stretching video in full
On Hold --- Work 15 min on Dining Room ceiling light -- blades in progress
Dining Room -- declutter, sweep floor, vacuum, mop floor -- work in 15 min chunks - still decluttering
#1 priority -- doing laundry for brother and his family, run errands for them, go to emergency distribution centers to pick up water, food, bedding, PPE, any cleaning supplies available
The Plan: Do stretches. work in Dining Room do laundry. Do yoga. do laundry work in Dining Room. Do meal prep for lunch & dinner; do dishes. Do 5 min walking program. work in Dining Room. Play on computer for a bit ... do 15 minute chore (DR - ceiling fan/light) ... repeat. do laundry
So, in the week since the flood, I've gained 9 lbs. It is what it is. First, stress and anxiety eating while waiting to find out who was next in the evacuation, while worrying about my older brother and his family as they were evacuated early in the process. Then, the major flooding which became a 500-year event., Then the aftermath. Little sleep; lots and lots of grazing from morning to night. Then, the disbelief seeing Sanford completely underwater to the rooflines of all the buildings in town ... more eating. Finally, the cleanup begins ... muck boots, masks, gloves, ... more stress and anxiety eating. Those not affected brought food and drinks -- pizza, fried chicken & potato salad, mega meat subs, lasagna, pop -- several times throughout the days as cleanup occurred. Brother's house was under 5-7 feet of water which means everything had to go unless it could be put in a clothes or dish washer ... right down to the studs on the house. More food, pop, chips ... to keep energy levels high. So the house is now gutted. Heartbreaking to see all their antiques, treasured items mounded on the outlawn. Now, I've got about 20 garbage bags of laundry to do ... so that will keep me at home where I can better control my eating and drinking. Thank God!! So, now, start again!!7 -

Pre-log today's food (struggling with this today, as we are getting low on choices...)
Stick to pre-logged foods only
75+ oz water
NO ICE CREAM or COOKIES or Hostess Zingers!
File w/DWD
30 minutes intentional activity / 7000 stepsI'm a wuss when it comes to walking in the heat, so hit the treadmill in the basement instead. Much better workout than when I walk my dog, who has to stop every 5 feet to sniff or squat! 
Podcasts: Joyce Meyer, Phit n Phat, Half Size Me
Sew blocks for table runner
Worked on husband's woodworking page instead.
Lymphedema arm massage x 2 / Gentle Chair Yoga / wear compression sleeve and glove on arm today to try to bring down swelling
Gratitude Journal: Whiteboard in kitchen
@cesse47 I'm so sorry to hear about your brother's home! The film they showed on the news was just devestating! I'm glad everyone is safe!
@teigansdad Chocolate chip banana bread is the bomb! My granddaughter makes it. The only thing better would be banana bread with M&Ms in it! LOL~
Hot & Humid again today. So, it will be another day of inside chores and using the treadmill. If I were a morning person, I could've gone this morning for a walk while it was only 70 degrees. That's a perfect temp for me. The lymphedema in my right arm acts up in humid weather, so I've been having to massage it more and rest & raise it for short intervals throughout the day.
I've been listening to a podcast where the woman talked about making small changes...starting with just 1 small change a day (or 1% change she called it). For some reason, that really stuck with me and I have been trying to plan at least one small change each day with my meals, such as no butter on my hamburger bun, or no croutons on a salad. Small things that add up. So yesterday I switched raw crunchy veggies and hummus instead of chips & dip with my brat. It tasted great (I love the roasted red pepper hummus...) and still gave me that crunch that chips do. I've been slowly moving downward in the right direction on the scale since i started doing this, so I'm pretty happy about that. I'm 1.8 lbs away from my first mini goal which I want to hit by end of May. Crossing my fingers!
Peace out JFT peeps! :flowerforyou: Have a great day!
Just for Tuesday:

Yesterday was a really good day, even though I went over on cals. a bit. Went out on the river to watch my daughter row. It was crazy hot, but it was fun none the less. Today, I had to come into work as we have a service tech coming in to work on one of the instruments. No walk at lunch today. I have a meeting from 11-12 and the tech is scheduled to arrive at 12:10 ish. Heck I may not even get lunch at lunch today...

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 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. Well, the AM run fizzled out. I'm just REALLY tired today. Had lots of stress dreams last night. Some days are like that, I guess.6 -
I'm back after an unplanned hiatus from MFP over the long holiday weekend. Mostly stayed home w/ hubby, and just felt good not logging, and being off-line. Pretty sure net cals weren't green, but I was also active besides dog walks so hopefully that helped balance my eating. Hubby and I did good amount of yardwork & a visit to the yard waste place, I got some needed light cleaning done, plus we enjoyed plenty of downtime.
Glad to see so many JFT posts! @cesse47 Glad you are able to be helpful to your brother. Keeping all those affected in my prayers.
JFT T 5/26
1) Walk dog = 4.02 mi 1:12:02 & stretched happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / REMEMBER 5 somethings / stairs breaks from basement to 2nd floor
3) Meals prelogged / net calories green / 14c water
4) Org papers & electronics to work from home again / submit PTO day request / register for upcoming CPEs
5) 3 home chores (already started)
6) Reschedule massage appt / call mom & dad / contact ex-roomie?
7) FLOSS / RETAINERS
This morning I tried to beat the heat by leaving with dog at 8 a.m. Saw lots of others out walking (with dogs or not) doing same as me. I was dripping by the time we got home, and that's incentive for me to start walking earlier again. All winter we're shut up inside our homes, and I look forward to warm weather and having the house opened up. Now the house is all closed up because it's 87(F) with feels like temp of 91. Until last night, we hadn't turned on AC yet, but at bedtime I couldn't tolerate the upstairs (where all the bedrooms are).
Yesterday hubby and I went to the Botanical Garden and had a lovely time walking the pathways and trails, seeing all the flowers & plantings, watching and listening to the birds. Very few guests were there, probably due to heat and humidity, but also because only members are allowed until June 1. Makes my renewal worth it, even if there are no lawn concerts and fewer classes this year.SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE

JFT Goals for Monday, May 26, 2020
Log everything; Be mindful of everything I eat - try for lower carb/sodium choices; drink 8+ water
Do 30 min Chair Yoga
Do stretching video in full
On Hold --- Work 15 min on Dining Room ceiling light -- blades in progress
Dining Room -- declutter, sweep floor, vacuum, mop floor -- work in 15 min chunks - still decluttering
#1 priority -- doing laundry for brother and his family, run errands for them, go to emergency distribution centers to pick up water, food, bedding, PPE, any cleaning supplies available
The Plan: Do stretches. work in Dining Room do laundry. Do yoga. do laundry work in Dining Room. Do meal prep for lunch & dinner; do dishes. Do 5 min walking program. work in Dining Room. Play on computer for a bit ... do 15 minute chore (DR - ceiling fan/light) ... repeat. do laundry
So, in the week since the flood, I've gained 9 lbs. It is what it is. First, stress and anxiety eating while waiting to find out who was next in the evacuation, while worrying about my older brother and his family as they were evacuated early in the process. Then, the major flooding which became a 500-year event., Then the aftermath. Little sleep; lots and lots of grazing from morning to night. Then, the disbelief seeing Sanford completely underwater to the rooflines of all the buildings in town ... more eating. Finally, the cleanup begins ... muck boots, masks, gloves, ... more stress and anxiety eating. Those not affected brought food and drinks -- pizza, fried chicken & potato salad, mega meat subs, lasagna, pop -- several times throughout the days as cleanup occurred. Brother's house was under 5-7 feet of water which means everything had to go unless it could be put in a clothes or dish washer ... right down to the studs on the house. More food, pop, chips ... to keep energy levels high. So the house is now gutted. Heartbreaking to see all their antiques, treasured items mounded on the outlawn. Now, I've got about 20 garbage bags of laundry to do ... so that will keep me at home where I can better control my eating and drinking. Thank God!! So, now, start again!!

Yesterday was pretty good, even though not all of my goals were met. Instead of riding the Peleton, hubby and I went for a bike ride. It was nice and then we went out to dinner where I had a beer. Floors and laundry didn't get done, but it's ok. It was a nice way to spend an evening. I took some Benedryll last night to deal with some itchy bug bites that have been keeping me up in hopes of sleeping. It was the worst night sleep I've had in ages. I'm exhausted, and got called in to work today, not excited by that, it means something is screwed up...

I am looking forward to talking this evening with my ex-roommate from college. We were roomies for three years and, through the miles of separation, have remained very good friends since graduation 40 years ago.
We keep in touch frequently but haven't spoken probably in 5-6 years, at our last girls weekend in Chicago. Will be so fun to talk with her again.SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE

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: 191.4
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?
