Tues goals.. gonna try step it up a bit today!
- Take meds 🙂
- Log everything❌
- 4 waters🙂
- Completely clean house. 🙂 mostly
- Get all clean washing away❌, continue with dirty laundry 🙂
- Walk the dog❌ <- possibly, it needs doing because he's not been out properly recently and he's starting to act up again. But I got up late so already pressed for time..
Okay i was a little ambitious today 🤣
I posted my goals at 2pm so it doesn't surprise me..
The kitchen took me ages to clean, it was so cluttered with pots and pans everywhere! Its took 3 dishwash cycles to clean it all!
Then i had to scrub the fridge and get rid of any off food, which was.. about half the fridge... rubbish how a low mood can make you neglect the worst things!!
But everything's cleaned, scrubbed down, hoovered and mopped and all the rubbish is out
so I'm feeling pretty good about that!!
I dunno why but I've had a headache the last 3 days. Not even a headache more like a heavy dull grogginess (is that a word?) Don't know if its the weather (its miserable and grey here) or the kids or if its thyroid but eugh I hope i feel a bit more like a living person tomorrow!!

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.

Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

JFT Tuesday 21st July
Log everythingyes, but had to guess evening meal
Stay in the green just in the red, but below maintenance
Back exercises no
5 fruit and veg 6
Parents and my own shop yes
Buy no chocolate or crisps none bought. I could now do a crisps challenge as there's none in the house
JFT Wednesday 22nd July
Log everything
Stay in the green
Back exercises
5 fruit and veg
Collect tablets from shop
Walk
Housework
Ironing
Weigh in day today, and a week into the increased calories experiment. I found it quite easy to stick to 1470 calories (plus sometimes some of my exercise calories). Sad to say the scales have not gone down, they dipped down a pound at the weekend, but are back up again. So still the same weight
I think I was hoping for some miracle where the weight just started falling off lol.

Oh no lol! One week is a bit soon to see any difference as I'm sure youre well aware of lol! Maybe give it a couple more weeks, but keep weighing because if it does start to creep up then atleast you can reduce calories again.
Or maybe after eating slightly higher calories then reducing again may just jump start your body again?
I have no actual idea im just guessing lol!!

Have a spectacular day y'all! I'm on your side!
Decided I needed to get back on the horse yesterday, so I did the easy club route. It was only 22 miles and the climbs weren't too bad. It actually felt good while I was riding, but after I tightened up a lot and was very sore. Sore enough that I awoke many times during the night, ugh. Anyway, they are just some bruises and they will heal.
Rainy day today, not sure what exercise I'll do. I really don't want to ride again, I'd like to walk, but we'll see.

Then this morning they called AGAIN as and asked if they could do a tele-visit at 1:15... Like wtf people. I know it's the doctor's fault but still...very annoying.

If they mess you around again, unleash hell.
I would've lost it at the 3rd time haha0 -
I think my favourite books are by Stephen King for sure, love scary books lol! I'd have his whole collection if I could haha
Stephen King is one of my top 5 authors. Love his books! I'm also a big audio book fan. I love listening to the audio books that he reads himself. There's something about his accent, the emphasis he puts on certain things that other readers don't get. The timing, the nuances ... when he reads his books, you really hear the "voice" of the book come to life.2 -

I overdid it yesterday and am really sore and stiff today. Obviously learnt nothing from the last time I did the same thing! We are having so many wet days that when it's dry I want to get on with outside jobs. I was going to mow half the lawn, but pushed on to finish it, knowing my back was getting worse. Serves me right, so frustrating!
OUCH!! I'm so sorry! Other than watering, I've avoided a lot of my outside work ... it laid me up in pain for too long the last time. I think I'll hire someone to come in a spend 3-4 hours doing what I want done. May cost a bit of money, but at least it'll be physically painless!! LOL2 -

Matt's still having chest pains and had to call out of work. He suffers from costochondritis which is the swelling of the muscles in his chest. He doesn't have flare ups often but when he does they can be debilitating. This one has lasted 4 days. We're hoping that today will be the last day.
I suffer from that too, when I first had it I thought I was having a heart attack. I would convince myself it wasn’t and struggled for a month before going to a doctor. I got it under control with Aleve. Then the next flare up it affected my lower rib area more than the heart area. I ended up taking Aleve for about 6 months straight and knock on wood haven’t had a flare up in about 2 years now.2 -
@pridesabtch - so happy your spot was clean! My cousin has had a terrible time with what she thought was a dry skin patch on her nose. It was barely noticeable. She has had to have a 7 hour surgery that was way up in her forehead, had to have her nose rebuilt, it’s been very traumatic but thankfully they got it all!2

Wow, I missed about everything yesterday. I was so sore yesterday my body just didn't want to move. I slept for a large portion of the day. Then evening came and I got a message from the photographer who is doing my daughter's senior pictures about possibly rescheduling tomorrow because of storms. Well, damn, I thought her pictures were next month. So she was frantically trying on clothes & jewelry last night. I felt awful because she was stressed out. Between my pain and her stress I had hubby mix me a drink. He has a very heavy hand when he pours. When DD went to bed, I took a warm bubble/Epsom salt bath. While I was in there, hubby made french toast with fresh blueberries. It was too much temptation, but damn was it good. It would have been fine had I stopped there, but I continued to snack. I doubt I did much damage, and I'm really not too bothered by it.
Obviously, from the above, today is Sierra's first photo session. I'm excited and nervous, I worry that the photographer won't do a good job, although I like his work and I just want her to have fun and like the pictures. This last minute thing did not exactly set us up for success. I did get her a last minute makeup appointment, so that is taken care of as long as the lady doesn't make her look like a hooker. She comes highly recommended, but I've never seen her idea of a "natural" look. I left enough time between make up and pictures that Sierra will have time to redo her own make up if its awful. I'm going to leave work early and go pick up a few things at the mall she talked about wanting while she is at work.
