2021
This year I will be more intentional in my decisions and actions. I will reach my goals this year. I've let too many things side-track me in the past, and 2021 is going to be the year I set realistic goals and achieve them slowly and consistently. I'm no longer working and there will be no more excuses!
In 2021, I will lose 25 lbs. This adds up to 0.5 lbs/week; slow and doable. I weigh weekly on Sunday mornings.
5 Why's:1. Health. (Prevent cancer recurrence. Increase heart function. Lower Glucose. Longevity.)
2. Energy. I was able to retire 5 years early. I want to enjoy every day of it.
3. Reduce joint pain and inflammation. I want to walk a 5k this year and my knees are in constant pain. I know losing weight will help. If I need surgery on them or a knee replacement, losing weight will help me heal better also. I also want to be a hiker in my retirement.
4. Mental clarity. My brain feels fuzzy and I believe part of it is due to sugar intake.
5. Personal. Wear more fitted clothes. Look better in pictures. Able to get on floor with grandbabies and get up by myself without pain.
Year in Review:

The last 2 days were hard ... and I didn't even get on here. First... having So many problems with our taxes. Having our own business .. we do quarterly tax reports to pay in employee withholding, etc. So I filed our reports at the end of 3rd quarter ... early October. Went to file taxes for this quarter ... and the website says I owe $3000!! Went I did the taxes, I was unable to print the voucher that went with my check, so I included a copy of my 941 report .. even wrote copy on it, and attached it to my check. Apparently they thought it was a second report... so it was recorded twice. And it get it fixed is impossible! So yesterday I just ate anything in site .. grabbing peanuts, chips, etc.
Then 2 days ago our daughter had a fire in her apartment. She had a candle burning all nite .. apparently it broke, and started the waste basket burning in her bathroom. There is a lot of smoke damage to the wall .. even the hardwood floor was burning. She was awaken at 6am by the smoke detector. She was able to put it out .. she was not hurt, but her apartment (at least the bathroom) is a mess. And I can't go in to help her. Even with a mask .. hubby does not want me going in. She called the fire department, and they told her she caught it just in time. I just pray she is not evicted from her apartment.
SO ... a stressful week, and my weight shows it.
So... a new day... a new week, since my weekly weigh-ins are on fridays. So I will start fresh. And learn, as I should have so many times .. that food just makes me feel worse, not better.
JFt, Friday
1. log all food
2. go for walk .. .. its cold and snowing, but try and go anyhow, as long as snow does not stick and slippery
3. drink water
4. brush teeth at 8 .. no more eating!
5. read simple abundance

1st goal: 185

Word for the year 2021: Consistency
My weight history:SW Year 2017: 217
SW Year 2018: 195.5
SW Year 2019 : 206 -- met my goal weight of 178 on December, 2019
SW Year 2020: 182.6 -- gained 15 pounds through the pandemic
SW Year 2021:195
Goals for 2021:These are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2021:
1. Lose 25 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 170, and then learn how to maintain it.
2. To be better with planning my meals each week
3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a day
6. To curb and stop nitetime snacking for good.
Weekly weigh-in. I plan on weighing every friday

Friday, Jan 8: 194.4
Friday, Jan 15: 194.6. I was down to 193.4 2 days ago .. but this reflects 2 days of mindless eating.3 -
@mytime6630 - that all sounds so hard! I'm glad your daughter is okay, and I hope your tax situation gets sorted out. I had a heck of a time getting my tax refund from the IRS for 2019 due to filing as a widower - I was not particularly impressed with the IRS based on my experience.
"Food just makes me feel worse, not better" - I'm trying to really embrace this as well, as someone who is an emotional/comfort eater.1 -
@mytime6630 HUGS to you! I'm so glad your daughter is safe. That is scary and you sure don't need the stress right now. Good luck with the IRS. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get it straightened out! xxoo1

3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.

7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up2 -

Yes .. I am not fond of the government at all. They changed the website, and everything is done online. I like "paper". Its so easy to make a mistake, and then impossible to get it corrected!1 -

JFT Friday 15th Jan
Log everything everything apart from a small snack after I'd logged off. I need to stop doing that.
Stay in the green I was when I logged off, a few calories over in reality
Admin not much, but did get moving and do a few other jobs
Back exercises one lot
Grocery shopping, chemist yes
Walk? yes, walked to chemist, was out for 55 minutes but queuing took quite a while
JFT Saturday 16th Jan
Log everything
Stay in the green
Admin
Back exercises
Walk
Now that we are back in lockdown and I can't eat with family it should be easier to stay in the green at the weekends. No takeaways
Word for 2021 Strength
I have been using my small weights to try and increase the strength in my non dominant arm. Last night I held the two 3kg weights and thought wow I've lost more weight than this. I wouldn't like to carry these weights around all day! I recommend lifting something equal to the weight you've lost, it's inspiring to keep going
Lose 21lbs in 2021

Good day on Friday
For Friday:
-Grateful my struggles are with food and not other issues. While I believe most things are in my control, I also believe that there are people who try as they may simply can't control themselves. The person who can't have a single drink without going off the rails, the person who gambles their family's savings away, the person who tries drugs one time and winds up dead years later. I lost a good friend who had a great job and family who lost it all, ending up passing away at 40. I'm thankful that my issues are pizza not alcohol, drugs, infidelity or gambling and that I'm developing the self discipline to manage my challenges.
-1800 calories and work to get the weekly average under 1900: 1758 and making progress on the weekly average
-Work out for 80 minutes: 84 minutes including a 45 minute, 2.37 mile outside walk in the falling snow
-Eat between 8 and 6: Done
-Eat dinner at the table: Done
-Invest 15 minutes in professional development: Podcast on walk
-Invest 30 minutes on home duties: Grocery run day
-Don't scroll newsfeeds when I go to bed: Meh
For Saturday:
-I'm grateful for the overnight fallen snow. Everything is clean, bright. Nice to have real seasons.
-1850 calories:
-Work out for 80 minutes:

2. Organize desk. Shoot P&P video.
3. Unload/reload/run dishwasher. Set 2 of lifts.
4. Lunch: Shrimp bowls. Buy Hood Feminism and New Jim Crow?
5. Stretch. Philosophy of ed. Script for "Clunkers" video.
6. Afternoon: Run - 3 miles?
7. Evening: S&F 4. Dinner: Soup. Breathe. Set 2 of lifts.
8. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water! Chop celery and pack lunch. Set out clothes for tomorrow. Set up JFT for tomorrow.
9. Shower. Review papers by desk. File or trash. Pester S about sending emails for characters.
10. Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: crunches, push-ups, squats, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth. Wed book group. MH Monday check-in; Tough Question Tuesday; Whatever Wednesday AMA; Thankful Thursday. Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?
Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
Today: 188.0
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. 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 – March? ObG schedule for April. Schedule PCP for May.
7. Theater: Little Princess.
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. Open Wordpress in Safari.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 15 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks, horse stance for 5 breaths.
14. 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. 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: Persistence. I didn't do this last night, but it was a VERY full day.Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.2 -
My goal today is water -- 96 ounces. I am feeling so toxic and polluted and I just want to clean everything out.4

JFT Saturday 16th Jan
Log everything yes, until evening
Stay in the green I was, until I had a snack in the evening
Admin It's done!
Back exercises one set
Walk 35 minutes
I'm annoyed with myself for logging everything all day, then having a snack in the evening. It's never very much, but just enough to push me into the red, still under maintenance. But the scales aren't shifting so I need to stop. It's very much a comfort eating thing.

I’m hanging in there. Life has developed a rhythm. There are more ups than downs, so can’t complain.
Actively pursue joyful moments
to keep the spirits high,
and avoid the January blues.
Spring bulbs are springing forth.
Garden birds are courting.
Daylight hours are lengthening.
Leaf buds are burgeoning.
The cycle of nature never stops.
