So as seen above I didn’t do well . Mainly is a dinner issue hubby had to do a almost thanksgiving dinner . I avoided some of it but everything but the green beans had a ton of calories.
I did get some exercise but not even trying to make up that much calories. Good thing is my original calorie goal was 1500 and I lowered it .
Tomorrow’s just for today.
No sodas at all
Walk 2 miles
Stay under goal4 -

So for the second day In a row I will not take credit for setting my intention before meals. Breakfast and lunch were “cram in bites whenever you can go on video-call mute” kind of meals. Dinner was highly delayed because I started and ended my workout quite late, so mostly I was trying not to overeat dinner. Then halfway through my evening snack I remembered work I needed to do, so back in my office. Luckily not the kind of day where I was annoyed or in a bad mood, just a long day not quite as focused as I’d like.
Tomorrow!

Log everything yes
Stay in the green yes! Only because I included the lawn mowing exercise
Back exercises forgot
Parents weekly shop yes
Walk mowed the lawn instead
Some gardening if it dries up yes
Carry on with finances - yes
Submit annual tax return yes, had a treat when it was done. 100 calories of cake, it was a tiny piece!
2 weeks in, and I'm getting used to logging and cutting back. Yesterday I resisted snacking even though I wanted to. I went to bed still thinking about eating crisps but I knew I wasn't really hungry, just mouth hungry.

Today will be a little sad. My 5th grader will have a drive by the school to pick up her yearbook. All of the teachers will be lining the street to cheer for the kids. I can’t even type that out without tearing up! 😭 Not how we thought the end of the year would be for them, but I’m grateful that the school is still trying to make it special.
Yesterday after the virtual celebration we made a few bunches of flowers and dropped them off at some of her friend’s houses. It was a lot of fun and made everyone smile.

Tuesday goals
Stay green❌❌
No m&ms❌❌🤪
No beer✅
Reschedule dentist appointment✅
Make a smart dinner. (Race night tomorrow, will likely be cancelled if weather stays as is but if so will do race equivalent workout so want to keep fuel on point)✅
Hour of tempo on trainer✅
Clean and lube race bike❌
Man did I go off the rails last night. I was doing perfect until I took that one gateway handful of m&ms. Oh well today’s a new day. I keep trying to analyze why I do that because I feel like it’s sorta self sabotaging. Although I guess in the grand scheme of things once in a while probably not gonna be harmful.
Today’s goals
Stay green
Win race if we have it but seems unlikely so if no race do race equivalent workout on trainer
If no race 3 sets of 12 pull ups and 3 sets of 20 push-ups
NO M&MS
No beer
Move furniture5 -

@littleblackskirt, I like that idea of "mouth hungry." I have that a lot and it is hard to overcome!2 -
@merope2, I know! My mouth wants to eat and my hands want to feed it lol. Especially right now being stuck at home alone and thinking I deserve a treat. Lots of willpower required, I keep reminding myself I want to be slimmer more than I need a treat.4

Have a great day y’all! Make yourselves proud!
Well, I stayed on track yesterday even after a disappointing weigh in. Because I'm a numbers girl I looked at my June data, and according to my TDEE (from Garmin) and my intake (MFP) I was able to look at my overall deficit and do a projected weight loss based on 2000 cal/pound. It showed that I am right on track, so that helped. I know weight loss isn't linear and the scale may bounce especially after a weekend out.
I'm still not sleeping well and struggled to stay awake driving to the eye appointment, luckily my daughter is 17 and she could drive us home. Since i'm working from home today, I was able to sleep in a little and I'm feeling much better.
Work was pretty successful, we finally got a piece of equipment running and I was able to complete a rough draft on the Quality Manual section I'm assigned.
The bike ride was a bit of a challenge mentally and physically. It was a rather hilly ride compared to what I've been riding. I caught a little grief from friends on some of the climbs and actually got off my bike and walked a section of the first big hill. Surprisingly enough, I didn't get to upset by it. That is just the reality of where I am right now, and I'm learning to accept it as a starting point not a constant.
All in all, I'd call yesterday a successful day.

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 call to schedule cleaning. PCP July 15 10:30. 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. Dinners?
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?
