Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I’ve done well so far this week. I want to avoid too much salt or anything with dinner tonight. We’re ordering take out for my mom’s birthday so I need to make smart choices.

Saturday goals..9 days to ORAMM
Long trail ride (at least 3 hours)✅
Stay green✅
Only fruit and vegetables for snacks✅
Hang w family when get home✅
No beer✅
No ice cream or candy✅
No food after 730pm❌
Yesterday went right as planned. Got my big final long ride workout in. Did 50 miles off road. The initial 25 miles went really slow. Rode with a couple friends. One who hasn’t had much saddle time so he bugged out at about 15 miles, the other is one of my teammates on race team who is having a tough year getting out of his own head. He’s way stronger and faster than he thinks but for some reason this year he’s really struggling. He bailed on me at mile 25... pace picked up once I was solo. Kinda bummed because we paced each other at this race for last two years until about 25 to 30 mile point but I’m worried he’s gonna self destruct on the first 10 mile climb to the trail. I’ve worked super hard this year so hate that I’m gonna have to roll on without him but this has been my major goal I actually wrote down back on Jan 1
I know he’ll be cool with it but kinda feel like a *kitten*
Sunday goals 8 days till ORAMM
Stay green
Easy 45min recovery pace spin really just to burn calories
Mow lawn
No beer
No ice cream
Fruit and vegetables snacks only

Way to go all the people who are logging, even if you don't stay in the green.5 -
@HEGoddard0928 I was tickled to see you started a blog! I went on and read it. You are a really good writer! I've been thinking about starting one also. I've always wanted to be a writer, but never thought I could do it. Now that I'm unemployed, what better time to try? You don't know if you don't try, right? I see you chose WordPress. Is that the easiest one to use? I've not done any research yet... You GO Hannah!
@mytime6630 I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed in your husband's news at the doctor. I am on hormone treatments also, and have been for 8 1/2 years. I take one tablet daily, and initially was only for 5 years but studies show 10 years is better so I'm still on it. HUGS and love to you, Joan! xoxo
@TerriRichardson112 I choose to feed my body the nutrition it needs and feed my mind with the quality thoughts it deserves. I LOVE THIS! What a great thing to tell yourself every day.
Sending all the rest of my JFT friends a big huge hug and cheering you all on! There are some really great stories on here! So many successes! Happy to be back! :flowerforyou:3 -

🌸🌸 If you can't see your feet 🌸🌸
you're probably not moving them enough
JULY GOALS ---
(1) Log all food and beverages honestly; Drink 10+ water [ MEASURE EVERYTHING !!]
(2) Exercise 30 min minimum (3000 steps)
(3) Clean 30 min per day: house or yard or declutter
Tasks for Today ---
Do 20 min stretches and 30 min of walking
Feed & Water animals -- done
Organize Pet Room; vacuum & dust - carryover from yesterday
I've somehow lost my mental focus. So I've spent this morning researching "losing focus" ... "staying focused" ... "regaining focus" ... and how focus differs from motivation. Between now and the end of July, I plan to restructure my goals and, hopefully, develop a couple of tools to help stay focused and motivated.
If you have any tips on maintaining focus, I'd appreciate hearing them.
Have a Blessed Day!! 🌞4 -

End of February: 196.2
End of March: 193.8
End of April: 192.6
End of May: 191.8
End of June: 192.2
Today: 192.0
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.4 -
I’m back! And I gave in and bought a Fitbit - hadn’t wanted one for years, but now just struggling to adjust my calories when I’m really active one day and not so much the next. I’m hoping this’ll help me. It’s already making me want to to out to get steps!
But my goals are the same for today - log everything, stay in the green.6 -
Friday Goals
- Eat 3 meals 🙂 i had 2 but one was so big, im counting it as 3 because I didnt feel hungry at all later on I was that full lol
- 4 waters 🙂
- Finish last bit of cleaning🙂
- Figure out why my hairdye keeps fading >:[ 🙂 I found possible reasons, I would go ask a hairdresser but they're obviously going to be biased and say I should get it dyed at the salon. Which is my ultimate aim to be able to afford it, but i also want to be able to afford the root touch ups following that because the colour I want I cant find in a box anyway lmao.
So i did quite well
Had jo kids last jight either so.me and ash stayed up till about 4 am watching films
I feel absolutely mashed today, I'm exhausted but its one night without the kids.
Sat goals
- 3 meals 🙂
- 4 waters🙂
- rest rest rest!🙂
Sun goals
- 3 meals❌
- 4 waters❌
- start laundry🙂
Okay so I didnt have sunday in the original post but they're basically the same goals anyway.
Sat was good, I was very tired, all day, we went out but just took it easy and didn't rush.
Sunday not so much, it all went wrong from breakfast and me being a moody cow.
2 pieces of burnt toast and I was done lol. Put off breakfast completely. Lunch, ash went mcdonalds, they decided to not take cash payments that day.. so ash had to go in and speak to the manager, he got a free burger and chips, he wasn't even rude lol! He was just saying I don't want to go eat a rubbish sandwich from tesco, I'm hungover and i just really want a burger. And they actually sympathised and gave him one haha we were gonna pay, obviously, we had cash but they still didn't take it lol!
Anyway.. he only went and forgot to get me one!!! And then.. he forgot to share it!!!!
I don't mind haha he ran and got me a sandwich which I actually really enjoyed and healthier than a burger.
So got home, started making tea, realised half way through what I was making.. i didn't even want?
So I didnt bother, to be fair, ash didnt want to eat it either. But he had soup later. I didnt.
So yesterday I just had a sandwich.. and at night I had a bag of crisps and some biscuits and a small bowl of cereal.
So yeah.. rubbish day for food.
Now I'm dreading the fact I'm going to a BBQ today.. one of my MILs BBQs. She does so much food5 -
Goals for Monday
- 3 meals
- 4 waters
- Don't get overwhelmed at bbq

- Pick up CCD tote bag @ 11:30🟢
- E’s softball game @ 4:00✖️- cancelled
Thankfully, singing at church went really well. (It wasn’t perfect, but I’m my biggest critic. )
I have been very careful this month weighing everything and staying green. It’s really paying off. I was down another 1.8lbs for the week, which is a total of 5 for the month. I haven’t had a steady loss like that in a while. I think the “no chip challenge” was the catalyst. I’m finally back to my original goal weight of 140. I’ve gotten down to 140 twice already this year, but then haven’t been able to maintain it. Now I want to see if I can lose another 10 or so and see how I feel at that point. I just can’t lose focus and slide back up!
JFT MONDAY:
- Log everything / stay green
- NO CHIPS!!!
- Housework
- Meal prep
- S softball game @ 5:30
- Organize paperwork
JULY CHALLENGE:
