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.

5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 / 100 Miles Challenge fundraiser (per fitness tracker) & completed 5/18/20 / Bellin Run 10K virtual race w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace"

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?

Wednesday: everything logged.
Thursday: log everything.
I had a stressful afternoon yesterday, and, because I've been posting here, actually stopped myself from throwing in the towel and eating whatever. Instead I made conscious choices about what I wanted to do, and I'm so happy about that!7 -

So a little experiment I'm doing with calories because I'm a numbers girl. I'm comparing my projected weight loss to my actual weight loss. Calories expended come from my Garmin, calories in from logging on MFP. I calculate the deficit and assume 2000 calories per pound. So far the numbers are tracking quite well.
I have a few low days and a few high days, but my base MFP calories are set at 1310 and I try to stay above 1200, but there are days when I just don't feel great. I will usually balance that out over a few days. If you are interested, here is the data.
Okay, they say 3500/pound, but 2000 seems to be how it works for me... Go figure that everyone is a different. Either way this makes me feel better.
Think I found the mistake in my calculations. My TDEE was being calculated using a much lower than actual weight. TDEE is likely higher than stated for June -17. I've fixed it & we'll see how the rest of the month goes.4 -
JFT - Day 4
Log all food/drink
No alcohol
Get moving
Don’t give up... seems like a dumb thing to say given it’s just day 4, but because I had a really rough yesterday afternoon, I ate everything in sight and went to bed very discouraged. I want perfection from the get-go and that never happens. I did log everything yesterday so that’s a plus.
Just For Today. 👍2 -

Hey guys! I know I've been gone for the last two days. Not sure why. I really need to make JFT a habit again! Even if it's just to pop on and post goals.
So Matt had his pulmonary appt yesterday. The doc said his lungs sound clear and that his breathing test came back with pretty good results. She wants him to get a chest x-ray just in case and prescribed him a new inhaler and a prescription allergy med to help with post nasal drip. She also sent in a new script for his rescue inhaler and ordered a nebulizer for him for the high pollen days and things. It was really funny when the doctor was taking his medical history because we had to tell her everything because she was really thorough. And her eyes just kept getting wider and wider with every injury and illness we told her about. Lol. My husband really is a walking miracle. He's really lucky that other than the 2 brain surgeries all of his injuries have been ortho based. Lol. Anyway, it was a good appt and we both liked the doctor. Once I know Matt's schedule for next week I'm going to set up the appt for the chest x-ray to get that done and over with.
I went totally off the rails with my eating yesterday. Matt wanted to get Wawa(a really good convenience store with a really good deli) I made a good choice of getting a salad but then got candy and two bags of chips...not my best night. I should have logged it to keep myself accountable but I just couldn't. Maybe I'll go back and do it now...Hmm.
Anyway, onto some goals.

Today the setting intentions worked—I had a snack, was still hungry, but convinced myself to wait 20 minutes because this was the only snack I’d planned. Of course by then I wasn’t hungry or paying attention to it anymore!
Another long day, and I forgot to put on my list that I need to meal prep at least one salad—I didn’t have one prepped for lunch tomorrow. So off to the store after dinner. But I picked up ingredients to make a recipe I saw featured on MFP: frozen lemon yogurt bark. It looked so good I had to try it. Won’t know the results until it finishes freezing tomorrow.
Oh, and today I received my collapsible, multi-position bench for my dumbbell exercises! So stoked, even if it does have that plastic off gas smell right now. No more balancing in odd positions trying to get full range of motion. 😀

Yesterday’s goals - log everything/stay in the green - yes!

Good work @merope2 for not stress eating. I’ve come close a couple of times recently but managed not to because I knew I’d have to log it. Taking it one day at a time seems to really help me.5 -
