It's so nice to see everyone posting again. I'm almost through the major project at work so should be able to keep up soon.
@PackerFanInGB - I so agree with you about the phone calls. I don't think we're cranky old women, we just want to hear our friends and family's voices.
@mytime6630 - I'm up for the challenge. When I was losing previously and my husband wanted ice cream I would buy kinds he liked and I didn't. I'm very fussy so it worked for me. I've just stopped buying things like that. If I do decide to have a treat I have to go to the store to get it. It has helped me several times. Luckily now my husband is also trying to lose.
As of this morning I was 191.8, it felt good to see that on the scale. All I'm doing consistently is logging food, it seems to be working.
Off for the big project again.4 -

I struggled this a.m. to get up but forced myself after 2nd snooze alarm. Glad I did. Dog and I met a garbageman on his rounds, who stopped to give his "new" doggy a treat. We also had a small fluffy white dog trot over to get acquainted, off-leash but wearing a cute little harness, and no owner right there. Friendly little guy let me check his tag & his name was Bingo. Love it! His human came running to get him and was very happy we took care of Bingo. I didn't want him to follow us across the nearby busiest street we have to deal with on our route. Good start to the day.

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

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), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
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. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create PDFs for video lessons. Change the green room into an office.
15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. 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. Yesterday I had plans. Today I've finished all my library books and the new ones I've got on hold haven't come in yet. I'm feeling very unsettled, and it's edging into anxious. It's going to be raining off and on all 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.3 -

2. concentrate on water
3. plan ahead .. know what I'm eating, and stick to it, or substitute DO not add more food to my list
4. be accountable
Not the best day foodwise .. but the good thing is that I did get a very long, 7 mile walk in today. I called my SIL, and we talked for 2.5 hrs .. so I just kept on walking. It was a beautiful morning.. and not too hot. A great way to start my day. The day, like so many for me, are good until evening comes.
So my plan for tomorrow evening is to go somewhere away from the food .. either outside and work in the yard, or go downstairs and listen to music with hubby ... kitchen will be off limits!
JFt, Friday, 6/4
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water .. 8+ cups
3. tomorrow we will go to fish fry.. so fish and french fries are on my list. Prelog so I know what I should eat the rest of the day .. and stick with my plan.

Urgh, I am tired today! Didn't sleep very well last night - it's been really hectic at work and last night we were busy till quite late looking at houses online. I was a bit wired so took aaaaaages to fall asleep, not sure how many hours I got.
But TGIF so only a few hours to push through and then I get to rest for the weekend! I say rest, we may have 1-2 house viewings to go to. But more rest than the week... This house hunting is very tiring!
Found a house that we're pretty excited about. It's actually in a slightly different area than we were looking and we'll have to think about whether we're ok with that and look into whether it has everything we need. But the house itself looks amazing, it basically ticks all the boxes and even has bonus features like a UTILITY ROOM (where I have already decided the cats could have their litter tray and catflap! The boyfriend thinks I am mad for already thinking about this btw).
Anyway, mustn't get too excited about it, it may well be not as nice when we actually get to look at it ... Let's see.
Anyway, today's goals:
Log everything I eat and drink - June challenge
Be in or close to green
Go for run
Drink 4 bottles water
Arrange house viewings
Happy Friday everyone!3 -

I’m thinking that I might go for a nice long walk today. The weather looks good and the sea is flat so I might spot dolphins.
I didn’t go for a long walk as it rained!
@bookmeister86 good luck with the house viewing. I don’t think you’re mad for considering the cats. I took the cats into consideration when we were house hunting. I think they were a factor as to why a house was not right more than why it was right for me. I’m sure it’s no different to people viewing a house and planning where to put their Christmas tree - it’s just about sensing whether the house feels right for you. My current house was certainly a heart decision, although we did try to logical, the cat didn’t feature highly in my thoughts but the house works for him.

Weigh. 😊 Trend ↔️😊.
Regarding the logging challenge: I’m good at logging food and pre-log so that I can plan my indulgences. It’s the one daily goal I most need to stay on track). I don’t log water in MFP as it does not make any difference to my drinking habits. I know when I plan not to drink so much because of a lack of facilities and when I don’t drink because I’m lazy or distracted and those are the days I mark as not meeting my water goal.

Busy day, so I’m a bit late with goals. Today is my last Friday afternoon class – yay! – but I still have to tweak the final. We’re expecting storms again, followed by a heat wave. The AC repairman is supposed to come back today to pinpoint the leak and, hopefully, make repairs. He still hasn’t arrived. Not sure I’ll make it to the grocery store today, so I’ll have to get creative if I want to stay in the green.

SW: June 4: 190.1
Friday, Jan 8: 194.4 -1.2
Jan 15: 194.6. +.2 I was down to 193.4 2 days ago .. but this reflects 2 days of mindless eating.
Jan 22: 191.4 -3.2 5 out of 7 days were good ...
Jan 29: 194.2 -- this is what happens when I don't track, give into stress and emotional eating. But ... My word for the year is consistency... that means consistently also recording my weight .. and being accountable. So its a new week.. again.
Feb 5: 191.8 -- trying to get back on track with controlled nite time eating
Feb 12: 194.3 --- I don't know why, but I can do good for a week, only to blow it the next week. I think the pandemic, the cold dreary weather is leading me to just overeat.
Feb 19: 194 --- a very small loss, due to 4 days of overeating granola bars and Kind bars.
Feb 26: 193 -- 5 out of 7 days I did OK, especially with nite time snacking
Mar 5: 193 -- stayed the same, but had 2 days of eating icecream and peeps
Mar 12: 192.6. Started challenge of the rest of the month NO nite time eating at all.
Mar 19: 190.4 -- 5 out of 7 days NO nite time eating. Goal next week ... 6 our of 7 day no nite time eating, 8+ glasses water @ day.
March 26: 188.6--- 6 out of 7 days I did good .. no nite time eating. Last nite... food was in control of me. I was so tired, and instead of lying down... I grazed the entire nite. So much that I had trouble sleeping. So while right now my weight is down, I expect it to go up. So next weeks goal is 7 out of 7 days.
April 2: 190.4 --- not the best week.. but I am still down 5.2 pounds for the first 3 months of this year. So I will look at the positives.
April 9: 191.2 --- even though I had a OK week, I think eating ham for 3 days .. hoping its just water weight.
April 16: 187.6 -- a week of more mindful eating, especially in the evenings, plus a lot more exercise with walking and garden work.
April 23: 187 -- a very small loss, but at least the scale is going in the right direction. I will continue to work on the nite time snacking and emotional eating.
April 30 188.8 -- got into the ice cream again.I am just 10 pounds before I am in a healthy, normal weight for my height.. but those 10# have been the hardest. I met that goal in 2019 ... trying to get back there.
May 14: 188.0 -- A week of terrible back pain, so I wasn't really watching, or caring what I ate. So happy that I at least did not gain much.
May 21: 185.6 -- lots of walking and yard work this past week.
June 4: 190.1 -- this is what happens when I am not paying attention to habits, etc.1 -

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), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
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. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create PDFs for video lessons. Change the green room into an office.
15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. 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. Picked up a weight bar! I also have a few plates but I might get more. It's lighter than I'm used to using, but it should be more than I need.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.3 -

Fitbit exercise goals 👿. Forgot to finish the day and missed steps/miles by a whisker!
Weigh. 😊 Trend ↔️😊.
Regarding the logging challenge: I’m good at logging food and pre-log so that I can plan my indulgences. It’s the one daily goal I most need to stay on track). I don’t log water in MFP as it does not make any difference to my drinking habits. I know when I plan not to drink so much because of a lack of facilities and when I don’t drink because I’m lazy or distracted and those are the days I mark as not meeting my water goal.

Sorry been AWOL due to internet issues l.
But resolved now.
Not much new going on here.
Had a bit of an accident prone week.
Burnt my arm, fell down the stairs and the other night I kept waking up in the middle of the night hearing a high pitched buzzing in my ear.
And in the morning I woke up bitten to death.
And I'm kind of allergic so they're all swollen but the whole back of my hand is full on swollen and it's all so itchy!!!4 -
