Stay in the green 😊 Just
5 fruit and veg 👿 not sure, can’t remember eating my lunch time clementine!
Water 😊
Fitbit exercise goals 😊
Weigh 😊 Happy Scale weight trend ⬇️ 0.9kg lost in 7 last days
My husbands PSI levels have gone up again and he has a biopsy scheduled for Christmas Eve. I drank my feelings rather than ate them hence the need to add in a whisky to my log.5 -
JFT Wednesday
- Take meds ✖️ I found them though, don't ask how I found them and managed not to take them though, I don't know myself haha
- Walk dog AM ✔️
- Drink 4+ cups of water✖️
- Put up Xmas tree!✔️ Didn't think I'd do this but it was the first year we got it up without any arguments haha my house looks pretty now. Although I'm dreading untangling my lights that I've wrapped crazily around my staircase 😂
- Walk dog PM✖️ need to allocate a specific time slot for this so it's done every day, like in the morning
Meh, okay day, didn't quite hit all my goals but I have fully pampered myself into a neat standard again, I've washed my hair, shaved my legs, plucked my eyebrows, moisturised etc. And now resemble a functional humanbeing rather than some creature under a rock 😂4 -

Hi All!
I haven't posted here since September, but I am ready to try to take some steps in the right direction again. Life has been challenging for me as I'm sure it has been for all of you due to the pandemic. I have been working from home for nine months now. My job has changed COMPLETELY (new systems, different scope, etc.) which has been pretty stressful. I haven't been able to go to the pool or the gym due to COVID and I can't even do my own grocery shopping. There was a stretch of literally five months where I did not touch another human being. Not great, but I am still here!
Anyhow, I ordered a rowing machine which came in the mail a couple of days ago. I put it together and started using it yesterday. I also joined a burpee challenge issued by one of my dance friends...he is doing 100 a day...I am going to start with 10 since I am so out of shape. I designed a 15-minute workout and I did that twice today on my work breaks. I am feeling like my body NEEDS to move, so I am going to have to get creative to make that happen this winter. Here is my dining room workout space:
I will start setting goals again tomorrow.

Packed two days. Missed my accountability post yesterday, first time since I started this in October. Remain diligent in logging food, closing in on 1 year. The impact of holding myself accountable on this chain each day has lost its power. I will keep going and find what does work
Weekly averages after three days:
2990 calories. Way off track
13 minutes exercise. Off track but realistic with the past two days
For Thursday, keep going. Past is gone. Today is a new day.
1900 calories:
Work out for 80 minutes:
Make good choices:
Support my bride:
Train the dog:
Eat dinner at the table, unplugged:

Hey I've never really personally spoke to you but I have noticed that you come on here every day posting goals! And I think you're doing brilliantly!
There are always going to be bad days but don't let that ruin your progress so far!
Also, what dog do you have?
Mines like half trained, so he's a pain in the backside sometimes lol but it is so worth getting them trained2 -

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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
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.
6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning. ObG schedule for October. When is re-up with ortho? Schedule PCP for same day.
7. Theater: ???
8. House: 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: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. 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. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: squats, 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. Ugh.

Love the plants in your space and your sparkling rower! Hopefully it helps with inspiration. Hang in there!! I keep hoping the COVID will resolve in what seems like a more doable timeline!
100 burpers is intense!! Yikes! I assume those are spread out over the day? I would collapse! A more reasonable amount is perfect.

I need to remember to drink the water! I am pouring it and I have it sitting on my desk, but with the masks and the visors I keep forgetting to drink it! But yet, I am so thirsty!
@cschmitz110515 - I should read Luke too, I only have 2 chapters to catch up on.
@zizzybumble - I'm sorry your husband's levels are up again. There is never a good time in needing a biopsy, but what terrible time to have it over Christmas where you'll probably have to wait longer for results. I would be eating and drinking my feelings too.
More I wanted to comment on, but work is calling. I'll try tonight
