@Snowflake1968 So sorry to hear about your cousin’s son. (((Hugs))) to all the family as they process this tragedy.
@AHB114 That is so easy to do! 😂 all it takes is a minor distraction and ppffffttt it’s gone!
@annettehangartner Here’s hoping that the wedding goes off stress free, and hubby’s surgery goes well.
@merope2 (and others) MFP was woeful yesterday. I think that you can safely forgive yourself for not being able to log food etc. I just keep reminding myself that it’s fret. 😂1 -
.... that it’s free.
And I havetbeen able to edit posts on Community for weeks now!!!

JFT Wednesday
- Weigh, DAMN up 2.4 lbs
- Breakfast <300 cal
- Lunch <500 cal
- Afternoon meeting
- Evening bike ride, accept the challenge and try the climb at the end
- Dinner out
Decided to just go home
- Log everything
- Stay Green
- Positive self talk
- No sweets!!
Have an exceptional day all!
Yesterday was a mixed bag. Really I hit most goals except the positive self talk. I gave up on the climb before I started it. Luckily a friend of mine was out there riding and he took Tim up the hill so at least he got a little bit of a workout. His riding with me is more of a social thing, and recovery. I made it about 1/4 way up the hill then I just turned around and waited at the bottom for Tim and Joe to come back.
I guess next time I just try to make it a little further than the time before.
Weighed in today and most of that up tick from yesterday is gone, instead of being 2.4 pounds up I'm 0.3 pounds up. That makes way more sense given my eating/exercise this week.
JFT Thursday
- Protein bar for breakfast
- Chinese for lunch, Chicken & broccoli, skip the rice...
- Work on Quality Manual
- Do some kind of exercise after work, either walk hills or repeat yesterday's ride
- Log everything
- Stay Green
- No cookies/candy
- Pick up new script from WM to help me sleep and hope it helps
- Bed by 11:30
I'm not sure what today has in store for you, but you can handle it. Much love to y'all!

After the ride I was in a funk. Mostly because although I was fast it was humbling to have worked so hard and still see my faster buddy just walk away from me on the trail. I self medicated big time.. first two beers... then Sara had brought home Oreos and brownies.. all said and done I think I ended up over 2000 calories in the red. I’m just darn ashamed of that...
Oh well hitting reset today
Reset and move on is so much harder than it sounds, but you've got this. I had to ask an old riding buddy to take my husband up to the top of Corbit Hill yesterday because I couldn't do it. I was in a funk, but I went the opposite way and didn't eat. Only had about 1000 cal in and beat myself up all night. Still a little pissed at myself for not really trying yesterday. It isn't the same as you, but we both have expectations to be at a certain level in respect to others, and we just ain't there. Have faith, put the miles in and you will get there. Enjoy the ride and kudos on the KOM. I used to have the QOM on the hill I couldn't climb yesterday (humiliating)...3 -
JFT wednesday
1. Wash face/brush teeth am ✔
2. Smoothie for breakfast ✔
3. Eat when hungry/stop when full 👎 stress ate before bed...
4. Water every time I'm at the sink, keep track 👎 not a total fail but could have been better
5. Log food ✔
6. Salad for lunch 👎 this was not supposed to be a goal anyway as i had planned on burrito bowl leftovers and i even weighed my protein portion to 4oz! I figured i have a scale I should be using it!
7. Log JGMTD ✔
8. Set positive intentions for the day, talk back at negative and mean thoughts ✔/👎 good for the first half of the day then kind if fell apart. I take things way too personally. I'm distant and then blame DH for not connecting when its really me that is pushing him away by not engaging when given the opportunity. I think ive been blaming him for a lot when my attitude is part of the problem. Quarantine life is hard when youre a person who thrives on alone time. I'm going for a drive to pick up groceries today...alone. Baby will hopefully nap so he can stay home with DH who is workong from home.
9. No icecream!!! ✔ but then i ate smores instead...so 👎

Thank you everyone for the condolences on my cousin's son - I can't imagine the pain that suicide inflicts on a family. There must be more that can be done.
@aubyshortcake - I'm mulling it over in my mind what to do. The location, benefits and such are really good here. If anything happened to my vehicle I could walk to work. The benefits are better than any I've ever had and there is a pension matching program. I have more sick time than I hope I would ever need. My only problem here is my boss. My thought is to wait it out and get through. I have a feeling she will be retiring in the next couple of years, so I just need to stick it out. Right now, there aren't a lot of opportunities and after my searches in 2017 and 2019 I don't know if I want to go through it again so soon.
@fairy_daisy - I don't think I would care to have a COVID test weekly. Hopefully it doesn't come down to that here.
@littleblackskirt - It is very wearing to track and restrict all the time. I think that is what my problem is right now, I just don't have the ooomph I need to get it done. I am back up into the Obese I think, so would like to get back to overweight.
@sermom3 - Can you use an hydrocortisone cream on your hands that help with the itch?
@AgnesFerniot - What do you mean by "A.I. kicking in"?
@teigansdad - Sorry you had a rough day yesterday. As my husband pointed out to me the other day, even if it didn't track you still moved and burned the calories. The snacking is killing me too. Last night I did better than I have in a long time. I chose popsicles last night, they freeze my mouth making me not want to eat more and are only 45 calories as I only have the single ones. I did have two last night, but it's better than the 400-500 amount of calories I have been eating.
@TerriRichardson112 - I have been thinking about pilates and strength training too. I have heard people have more success when they start the weight training.
@pridesabtch - You'll get to the top of the hill, you have such determination.
@AJB1014 - Deep breaths, this has been hard on so many people. I was reading a post that my Goddaughter posted last night about her 4 year old.
"Raven reason number 1875 for crying, "it's raining outside but I wanted to have a bath"
I told her I loved the logic.
She responded with
reason 1874 "my school shoe's are too small, that means I'm growing, but i want to wear them"
I told her that it sounded like Raven was having a day.
Her Mom commented and said sounds like Mom is too.
I said I think all Mom's with young ones have been "having a day" since March.
Hang in there, I hope you get some alone time soon.

I'm in a funk today guys. I have been for the last few days, tbh. Matt ate something that made him really sick again last night. He had to call out of work this morning and is stuck on the couch with a terrible stomach ache. He doesn't even remember what he ate that could have caused it. That has not helped me feel better at all. I'm hoping that in the next 2 or 3 days my hormones balance out again and I feel better. I guess we'll have to see.
I have to finish my outline by June 30th and I haven't even really started it. I just can't seem to get into it. I know that once I start it I will probably be able to get a large chunk if not all done in one sitting. But actually sitting down and firing up my imagination just seems too much for me right now. It's so strange because when I was younger writing was how I dealt with my mental illness. I would dive into my own brain and write for hours. Now I can't seem to do that anymore. I miss it so much. I know it probably wasn't the best coping mechanism but it helped. Now I want to turn my writing into something I could use to make money and help support our family. But if I can't get into my head long enough to actually write, then that isn't going to happen.
Okay, enough complaining. My goals will be light today.

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
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?
WFTY: Progress. So, I didn't go get my bloodwork done. That will have to wait until my next weekday off, and I'm not sure when that will be. Need to do my insurance stuff.5 -

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.

Second day of new exercise schedule. This morning I did 15 minute warm up walk, 20 minute HIIT with dumbbells, and 35 minutes Standing Pilates w/out. I will still be trying to keep under 150, but think it might be a bit of a stretch, with the extra workout time.

@Snowflake1968 - Thanks for the suggestion. I do use hydrocortisone cream, but it barely takes the edge off. I have a prescription cream, but use it very rarely because it can thin your skin.

I'm not sure what today has in store for you, but you can handle it. Much love to y'all!
Life got in the way yesterday. I ended up working late and there were some family commitments I forgot about. I finally got home around 10pm. Which boiled down to no exercise and excess calories from eating out and having a few drinks. Not the end of the world, I still came in under maintenance.
Today, I gotta get some exercise in and I gotta go to TJ Maxx. Priorities...
My daughter got up early to do a 15 mile run today, she is my hero.

Day was going well until the evening. Water softener is on the Fritz and we had a communication break down over how were going to handle this. Fortunately it has a bypass so thats the temporary solution. Im still tired. But DH is away at a job today so im going to decompress and problem solve after I relax a bit during babys nap.
@Snowflake1968 thank you! My cousin posted about how were all in the same storm, but we all have a different boat! My heart truly goes out to those toddler moms.
Im on the web browser just to get community to work!!!

@HEGoddard0928 - Hugs to you, I hope you have a better day today. How is Matt feeling now?
@AJB1014 - I hope you have a better day today. I've read that about same storm, different boats. It's a very apt analogy as no one is exactly the same as the next person. For me personally there hasn't been much change except not being able to see my family. I have worked right through. My husband was supposed to go back to work on April 27th for the season, but that didn't happen and he has been told it won't happen this year. That is our biggest concern right now. The government subsidies are covering his partial wages but we don't know how long that will last.
I went for a walk last night with my new shoes, my feet felt so much better, but my calves hurt. Hopefully I can get a few walks in this weekend and the pain will ease. I ate over my calorie allowance again yesterday, but managed to only have 1 popsicle for an evening treat. I will have to continue to buy these. I wish I could buy a box of just c orange and cherry but not grape. I am saving the grape for the Grands as I don't like them.
I have to leave work early today to head into the city to go to the bank and make a deposit for work. The local branch that we use had a sewage backup and is temporarily closed.
I am looking forward to the weekend, it's been a long week.

I am SO SO Far behind .. both in reading posts, and in setting my own goals. Last year I lost almost 30 pounds, and swore I would not regain. Well... we all know how easy it is to get off track. My weight was 178, which was my 1st goal, and I had simple goals this year to get down to 170-175. But instead of going down, I am now up to 185. So time to get back on track.
I know what worked for me .. the snacking in the evening. I would grab a apple, and that was it. But because I am only going to the store about once a month, I run out of apples... and grabbing carbs (cereal, walnuts,) things that just make me more hungry. I eat very healthy all day... its the evenings that I can easily eat 600-800 calories.
Add onto that the stress of hubby and daughter, and well, this is what happens. Husband has only 17 more radiation treatments left, so we are counting the days, and praying that it works to get rid of the cancer. For the most part, he is doing OK .. just very tired. And on top of that, our business has been busy. While that is a good thing, also makes it harder.
Our daughter is going downhill, because we are not allowing her in the house. This coronavirus is so scary, and it is important that my husband does not miss his radiation treatments. Since she is still working in the nursing home, even though it is only 1 hr a day, we just have to be careful. We were letting her in our patio room, but even that was making hubby scared, so now she can only sit outside. And .. it is like in the 90s. I am torn, because I worry about both, but as so many have told me, I have to put my husband first. His life depends on the radiation. But the past 2 days she is wearing a turtle neck long sleeve blouse, so my fear she is hurting herself again. And I don't know what to do, other than I sit outside, in the heat with her.We turn on a fan to try and help a little. But both she and I miss our drives and going places. But I have to turn it over to God, and know that this will not last forever.
So I hope to be back everyday, to get back on track, and try and catch up with what is going on in you guy's life.
Goals for today, Friday, June 27
Weight: 185
1st goal: 178
1. log ALL food
2. concentrate on 8+ glasses water
3. only ONE snack in the evening ... a protein drink or protein bar

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?

Saturday 27 June
I’m up early, my brother spent last night at the hospice and I’m going to take over from him. We had been limited to 1 person at a time and a total of an hour visiting per day (COVID 19) but restrictions have now been lifted for us to be with mum at the end. I’m not sure how I will do with my goals but I might as well try.

A shame it's raining today as Saturdays are when family would visit in my garden. A day for indoor jobs.
I need to prep and make sure I'm prepared for my little business opening back up next week. It's becoming quite expensive buying cleansers, protective gear and other things required. I feel very very responsible for making sure my premises are virus free and people will be safe. It will be hard work. (I know, all of you who have been working throughout will be laughing at me right now )
