Your doing a great job with your family and I like hearing about your girls growing up and the supportive relationship you have with Tim. You have been posting positive images in times of doom and gloom. Sending you hugs from Scotland.
Your goal could be as simpler as share your thoughts/ feelings with us. You know you will get a sympathetic ear and support from us.4 -

2. Read and notes for 2.1-5 of P&P. Fold sweaters. CALL UI OFFICE.
3. Put laundry away. Set 1 of lifts. Hand-wash non-dishwasher dishes. Update Hogwarts.
4. Lunch: Pork chops? Set up doctor appointments - eye, lady, GP, dentist
5. Stretch. Fanfic. S&F scene breakdown.
6. Afternoon: Walk at park. Recycling.
7. Evening: Continue P&P. Update lesson plans, assignments. Dinner: Mexican. Breathe. Set 2 of lifts. Update directions for Wednesday.
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: 193.2
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 am in full F-it mode. I am gaining weight instead of steadily losing. I haven't been exercising much. The weather has been crappy, but I've exercised in worse before. It's just that everything feels like too much.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.6 -

First back to back off track days of the year. Kept to my 6 to 6 parameters and worked out but I can do better
For Monday, new day and new week.
-I'm grateful for my health, that I have the option of making the changes I need to improve my wellness. I restarted MFP on 01.01.2020 and have a 412 day streak of accurately logging my exercise and calories. Even the bad days.
-1900 calories: 2484. Mindless eating
-Work out for 90 minutes, find the time in a busy day: Worked out for 39 minutes but didn't make time to walk.
-Invest 15 minutes in personal development: :TEDx: 2Easily Remembered Questions That Silence Negative Thoughts. Deep philosophical discussion. As with so many resources if the presenter's material was universally applicable everyone would already be utilizing these concepts. Ask yourself "Are my thoughts useful and how do they behave?"
-Invest 30 minutes in professional development: Nope
-Invest 30 minutes on home duties: Mixed result. I fell short of supporting my bride. Life doesn't always have to be 50/50 or in my favor. There will be many days I should be willing to take on the weight.
-Eat dinner at the table: Nice dinner but then snacked on coach until 6:00
-Revisit my commitments in the late afternoon: Nope
For Tuesday, another new day. New opportunity to be fit and healthy.
-I'm grateful for my bride on many fronts. Today it's that even when we argue, which is usually my fault, we never cross the line. More grouchy than fights. It's important to have that foundation.
-1900 calories. This requires sacrifice. I can't have the food I want and achieve my goals:
-Work out for 90 minutes. Make it happen:
-Invest 15 minutes in personal development:
-Invest 15 minutes in professional development:
-Invest 30 minutes on home duties:
-Eat dinner at the table:
-Eat between 8 and 6:
-Revisit my commitments in the late afternoon:

JFT - Tuesday Feb 16
Scale 198.8
1L of Water
Log all Food
I missed yesterday, I'm not sure how I thought I posted in here.
@TerriRichardson112 - I read your spoiler and saw you were at your lowest weight in 40 years a couple of weeks ago! That is awesome, congratulations! What is your next UGW?
@WellingTX - My husband is having to carry the weight right now. I'm not supposed to be doing anything. This is a complete role reversal for us.
My hip and lower back is feeling some better, they are always stiff when I first wake up, but not in agony. Today I have a paid going down the back of my leg. UGH One of these days I'll be pain free.

4) Wish niece happy bday / prep lunch, snack, water bottle & overnight oats / presses / meditation app = 4/4
5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / early alarm (workout before work) = 4/5
JFT 2/16 T ~ skipped early a.m. workout
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
2) Treadmill after work (need mileage for virtual competition)
3) Net cals zero / 14c water
4) Work in office: submit leave request / AJNH / webinar 2:30 - 3:30
5) Prep middle brother's bday card & other stuff to be mailed / prep lunch, snacks, water bottle & overnight oats / meditation app / declutter 15 min. / some finance chores?

At least today's high temp might reach 16F. After the past week, will feel like a heat wave. Hubby and I were talking about the crunching, squeaking sounds of walking on snow in bitter cold temps yesterday.
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
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.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and continuing to log / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21
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 -
Blahhhhh. That pretty well describes yesterday and today. Didn't log on yesterday so my streak is back to 0, not that it matters because I haven't been logging food even when I did log on. Weather here is cold and snowy with freezing rain last night. I like winter, but I wish it would just snow and skip the freezing rain bit. We are lucky in that we still have power and the temps aren't too offensive.
Got a text from my oldest this morning that my youngest is sick. Carpooled with hubby today, as we don't pick my car up from the shop until this afternoon. He was able to go home and tend to the kiddo. Unfortunately, Tim had set up the slow cooker to make chili today. That cannot be a pleasant smell when you are sick, especially for a vegetarian. Hopefully, it is a quick bug that passes. If not, I'll send Tim with Sierra this weekend and I'll stay home with V. I'm okay leaving her home by herself for 2 days if she's well, but not if she is feeling poorly.
Picking up my Acadia from the body shop today, thankful I have insurance, but it's still $500 out of pocket and then I need to take it for inspection and new tires. That will be a nice chunk of change as well. Then hopefully next week Tim's car repair will be completed from where he hit the deer, another $500. Then inspection & oil change for my younger daughter's car. Driving has been quite pricey so far this year. We pay a small fortune for insurance...
JFT Tuesday
- Work
- Pick up Acadia
- Get Acadia inspected and new tires
- Watch Avengers: Age of Ultron with Hubby
- Chili for dinner
- Maybe some laundry
- Bed by 11:30
Happy Day y'all!3 -

1. log all food .. beconsistent on this -- but WAY over calories
2. concentrate on water
3. only 1 diet coke today
4. only 1 evening snack .. planned only Bought granola bars .. so I could have ONE as a snack. Ended up eating 6!! What is wrong with me So last nite I froze them.. thinking that way it will be harder to just grab a bunch of them to eat. They are only 100 calories, but eating 6 is not good
5. mindful eating
Like some of you ... I am doing the opposite of what I want to .. mindless eating, almost giving up.. but I am not.
We got 7" of snow yesterday. Temps are -1 this morning. so in addition to not eating right, I'm not getting out walking either.
The mindless eating is because .. I am sick of cooking. I just don't feel like cooking anymore. Nothing sounds good.. so I eat junk food. I've been trying new recipes .. but a year of not even a McDonalds take out ... its 3 meals a day, dishes, etc. I think I'm just tired of all this .. the virus, the crappy weather.
OK.. enough complaining. I do have SO much to be thankful for ... a heated house, crafts to keep me busy, not being alone .. etc etc etc. Its more than the numbers on the scale... its about healthy eating. Strive for that ... not for the number on the scale to go down. Just healthy eating.
JFT, Tue, 2/16
1. log all food

Just had a horrible moment, I was playing with Marley on her bed and Casey has this thing atm where she loves climbing up my back. Anyway, I stopped playing for a sec to speak to Ash and I could feel (what I thought) was Casey trying to climb my back again.
This went on for a good minute or so until Ash finally said "did you know the dog is humping you?"
Aahhhh horrible creepy dog lmao
Oh My God! This is hilarious!!! Almost spit my coffee out! hahaha! Bex, you come through with some good ones...

I am right there with you! Today is the first day in quite some time that I feel determined to make choices that will kick-start me going in the right direction. It's all been too much...Winter is hard enough but when you've been cooped up and limited with Covid shutdowns for a year on top of it, it's just been overwhelming. Hang in there! The light is at the end of the tunnel...

I hope you get relief soon. It's emotionally and physically draining being in pain all the time, and it affects so much of our daily lives. I just got a couple injections in my knees yesterday and I'm sure hoping they help. I would like to be able to just do normal every day things without having to sit down after 2 hours and ice my knees. HUGS xoxo I'll say some prayers for you! 1 -

You are doing great! I've been trying to give up diet coke for so long .. trying to limit it to just 1 a day now. But I know when I was able to give it up, I actually lost weight. They say even artificial sugar makes us crave sugar .. which I know is true. Why is it so hard to give up!!! For me, I don't drink coffee.. so this is the only caffeine I get.
But I like your goals .. very similar to mind. The snacking after 8 gets me.3 -

It is SO hard to give up the Diet Coke! Like you, I don't drink coffee, so my Diet Coke was my "pick me up". I had headaches for a few days after not drinking it, but those have gone away now. Our goals are pretty similar. I'm TRYING not to snack after 8, but I have yet to really be successful with that. lolol You're doing great too!! We'll get there! 2 -
Good morning! It's supposed to get up to 11 degrees today, and as ridiculous as it sounds, it actually feels warmer when I step out on the deck. Wow! What the body won't adapt to, right?
The sun is shining and the sky is blue. I have a warm home with electricity and clean running water, plenty of food and enough money to pay the bills. I have my health and a family I love who are all healthy and have what they need too. So, that is what I'm focusing on today. I've been in a loop where I am only looking at negatives...what I miss, what I don't have or can't do, the job I lost, the family I miss, etc. The things that matter most are what I need to turn my focus back to. I hope that doesn't sound too corny...but I need to do something to turn my dark mood around so this is what I'm trying--looking for the good things when I get up in the morning and trying to keep that mindset through the day.
I fill out a 24H plan each morning and assess it that evening or the next day. The plan is from a weight loss group I belong to called No BS Weight Loss (used to be called Phit 'n Phat). On this plan are several questions, as well as my 24-hour food plan. I think I'm going to start listing those things here since two separate set of goals kind of throws me off. I'll enter my pre-planned foods in my food diary and list other questions here. I'm hoping this will reinforce what I write on my plan....
My weightloss goal this week is -2 lbs and the 5 Why's for losing weight are: (1) health (2) Fitness for joints, heart and glucose control, (3) Increased Energy Level, (4) Look better in photos (5) Summer Comfort in heat and in summer clothing.
What might make me eat when I'm not hungry today? Boredom, mindless chuffing. To keep myself on plan, I will tell myself "It's just for today. I can put that food on my plan tomorrow. I can do anything for just one day!"
My 3 Goals are:
1. Drink 3 quart jars of water = 96 oz water. This is important to flush toxins out and to hydrate my body and brain.
2. Close kitchen at 7 pm This is important because it will limit the number of calories I eat and help me lose weight.
3. Watch No BS Course module and listen to Live Podcast. This is important because they will motivate me, as well as help me with thought work during the day.
I am grateful for:
1. Being Retired at 60 years old
2. Above 0 degrees temperatures
3. Faith and Family
I like these things about me today:
1. I feel happy
2. I feel content
3. I am motivated
One small change today is that I will close the kitchen at 7:00 p.m.

This went on for a good minute or so until Ash finally said "did you know the dog is humping you?"
Aahhhh horrible creepy dog lmao
Oh My God! This is hilarious!!! Almost spit my coffee out! hahaha! Bex, you come through with some good ones...
It gets better, my house is full of jokes this week lmao.
Today, I left the kids on their own for FIVE minutes to have a little sit down and chat with Ash.
And in that 5 minutes Casey went all Miss Independent, took her nappy off, came upstairs, sat on her potty and had a poo.
Neither Sask or Marley thought to tell. Me she was doing this until Marley called through the bedroom door saying “Mummyyyy, Casey had a poo in the potty... And the dogs ate it".
Me and Ash looked at each other and he just said "Nope. You go."
I had no words. Just none. Lmao1 -

Well today wasn't ideal! But it wasn't a total failure either. I had a bit of birthday cake as it was my husband's birthday but other than that I don't reasonably well on the food front. Still never got the hoovering done 😬

I'm joining that F-it club, it seems to be a big one. I need to get back at it though as that is part of my back and hip issue I'm sure.
@pridesabtch - Cars are so expensive and it's hard to go without them. Hope it all settles down for you.
@mytime6630 - Since Covid hit we have ordered out or grabbed take out way more than we did before Covid. I found the first few months terribly stressful here at work, then I was just getting back to normal when we went into Outbreak. I'm starting to get better again, but I think I'll probably order out tonight to give Rodger a break on dishes and fetching for me. Can you not go to a drive thru or anything at all? Not that they are healthy options, but at least it's a break.
@PackerFanInGB - I don't know how people with autoimmune diseases and chronic pain ever deal with it. It's an awful way to live.
Diet Coke - When my Mom was struggling with her diabetes her doctor told her that none of it is good for you, but if she had to have a Coke to have a real one as it wasn't as bad for you as Diet Coke. I have never understood it and probably wouldn't have believed it if my Brother didn't hear the words from the doctor's mouth too.
I drink a coke almost everyday right now, although I didn't have one on Sunday or Monday. When I was losing weight and first joined this thread in April 2018 I didn't drink Coke or eat chips any more than maybe a couple times a month. Since Covid I've eaten chips and drank Coke almost every day. By the beginning of 2020 I had gained back about 8 lbs from my hip injury at Kaitlyn's wedding in July 2019, I have since gained back all of my loss. I am down about 3lbs right now but I'm just working on diet since I can't do any exercise of any kind.
I'm not working on diet very well. LOL
I should get back to work.

@Snowflake1968 My UGW was 140, which I had thought was a bit ambitious until recently. It is my 2012 goal. I have just over 3 lbs to go.4

So funny! OMG -- I'm not sure what I would do!!
This reminds me of when our daughter was learning to use the potty chair. We used to keep a portable, child-size potty chair in the playroom when she was first learning ... rather than have to go all the way upstairs. So each time she would go, I would empty the "bowl", and put it back for the next time. One time, I emptied the "bowl", but forgot to put the bowl back. Well... she had to go, ran to the potty chair, and did her job.... on the floor because the bowl was not there. Luckly we did not have a dog .. but... I had to clean up the mess!
Sorry .. off topic, but Bex's post made me laugh and reminded me of that incident ... 42 years ago!!3 -

I wish hubby would ... be as you know, he is so scared of this virus.. and thinks it could be on wrappers, etc. So ... we just eat at home ALL THE TIME LOL!!! You would think this would help me to lose weight though, wouldn't you!
As far as the diet coke, I have had so many people tell me how bad it was for me. Not only for teeth, but healthwise. Its nothing but chemicals. But it is so hard to stop. I don't like regular soda ... I think it has been years since I had a regular coke ... but I am having a hard time giving up this stuff!1 -
