Tues 16: 149.2🤔
Wed 17: 149.3🤔
Thu 18: 149.2🤔
Fri 19: 149.4 🤓 I was wondering if this uptick is connected to the fact that I have started interval walking/jogging to get my steps in. I did a little research, and sure enough, there it was, in black and white. When you start jogging, the muscles hold on to fluid for muscle repair. Can be several lbs, and it sorts itself out when the body acclimatises, so I'm sticking with it until it settles down.
😂 Just when you think you have it all sorted, one little change throws it up in the air again. I'm guessing that this is temporary.

End of January: 194.6
End of February: 196.2
End of March: 193.8
End of April: 192.6
End of May: 191.8
Today: 191.8
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?

Good morning! I left work on time yesterday but still had about 200 unread emails. @Snowflake1968 you are definitely right, and I'm worried he may start to take issue with it because he's not the most rational person. But I'm at the point where this job needs to fit my needs too, and if he can't accept that I'll have to figure something else out. I do still like my job but I can't do this lifestyle anymore.
Yesterday 6/22:
1. Pay attention to hunger levels and listen 😑 ehhhh sort of
2. Get 30 minutes of some kind of activity/movement😁
3. Finish work by 5:30😁

I typed a long entry yesterday and lost it when I went to post it. Ugh!
I’m back to raiding the pantry in the evening. I can’t eliminate all snacks from the house because I live with 3 other people (husband and 2 teenage sons), but I can recommit to not eating after dinner. Even if I eat a planned snack, or something like fruit, or popcorn, it leads me into going back for more, not because I am hungry, but because it is habit and looking for comfort.
Sooooo, for today...
1. I will not eat past 7 pm
2. Eat green veggies
3. Write in my journal
4. Exercise6 -
Monday: all food logged
Tuesday: log all food5 -

Wow, yesterday I just lost the edge... I haven't been sleeping well and when I got home from work, I laid down to nap and the night was just over. It's like I just gave up. I ate too much and didn't exercise at all.
I meet with my doc tonight so I can maybe get a handle on the sleep thing. Supposed to be a group ride tonight, but because of my appt I won't be able to make it. Perhaps I'll go late, I know the route and I can still finish with those doing the longer routes. Big @$$ hill at the end of route. Not sure I can make this one, but I'll try. This is all assuming the storms hold off.
JFT Tuesday
- Protein Bar for breakfast
- Meeting at 9:00
- Start looking at development on new method. Nasty chemicals with this one. Dangerous and stinky. I gotta make it safe for the workers before I'll release the test.
- Scrounge for lunch
- If not raining, leave work early and set up for ride so I can go straight from appt to ride
- If raining, Peleton or rowing
- Dinner with friends post ride
- Max 2 beers
- No candy/cookies/brownies
- Log everything
- Stay Green

- Evening routine and early bedtime!
All in all, I had a good day with goals yesterday, so I'm pleased about that! I spent a lot of time in reflection yesterday. I have had a lot of anxiety with the unknowns over the past week. I need to get a grip. I'm not sure that I will be brought back to work. I have a feeling that my job will be eliminated because they are trying to get the job done with less manpower after losing so much money during COVID shutdown. I can't collect Social Security for a few more years. Where does a person try to get a job at 60 years old when they've done the same thing for over 30 years? I like to just retire and not go back to work if they don't call me back, but I have to figure out medical insurance before I can do that. So, it is all doable, and may not even happen, but it is a constant worry in the back of my mind every minute of every day it seems like.
But today is a new day, and I am not going to let it ruin today. I let it get the best of me last week, and I'm NOT going to waste THIS week!
Just for Tuesday:- Assess yesterday's food plan and create today's
- 75 oz water
- No ice cream
- Pay attention when negative or anxious thoughts sneak in / WT @ 6PM
- Listen to next NoBS course
- Email HR re: insurance questions
- Research blogging
- 30 minutes activity / research strengthening routine
- Readings / podcasts / gratitude journal
- Practice patience and kindness. Toughen up Sally...stop being so sensitive.
- Evening routine and early bedtime!
Today, I am grateful for another day off work, a better attitude this morning and this Just For Today thread with all of you!
