    So it turns out, Rosie the hamster is actually a boy under erm... closer inspection lol.

    So now we're trying to think of other names but tbh, everytime the girls see him they still say Rosie haha
    So we have a boy hamster named Rosie
    I've been able to pick him up now though, me and Casey have both had a bite, they sting but don't seem to break the skin which is weird? Unless it's too small to notice or only a nip.

    My fitness goals have disappeared into thin air.
    Don't think I really have time when it's the school holidays.
    My tablets seemed to have tapered off, but again I don't know if it's cause the kids are off and the weather's hot (my god does Casey get cranky when it's hot) or whether it's time to increase them?
    So I need to ring the gp for that this week.

    We've also been decorating, probably should have waited until the kids were back in school but our lounge is looking much more homely :)


    I missed the start of the June challenge. And it's to log everything which some days I'm good at and sometimes just awful
    Probably give myself a couple of days to get my house straight, get some food shopping in and may just jump on board :)


    @pridesabtch
    Sorry to hear about Vs accident, I've only been in a couple of very small bumps with inanimate objects. Ash has been in a few accidents, especially when he had a motorbike.
    He once hit a pedestrian crossing the road, and elderlyish lady. There was nothing he could do, if he swerved he would have gone into an oncoming car. He flew off (luckily he was going 30mph) and skidded across the road himself which tore his coat up but when police and ambulance came turned out she was drunk as anything.

    Recap 6/5 Sat.
    1) 6:20 alarm & walked dog 3.38 mi before market B) happy dog & happy me
    2) Farmer's market & got lots of good stuff :mrgreen:
    3) Laundry ~ two loads of clothes hanging outside, which I love / need to bring in and put away :| folded, still in basket
    4) Spend time with hubby <3 (Last weekend including the Monday holiday, he worked special hours starting 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. or later, and we barely saw each other. At least I had the time to visit my mom & dad 90 miles away.)
    5) Grill supper / net calories zero / 14c water >:) Snacked too much during day & had take out for supper. Net cals horribly red, 12c water.
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren/ 6:20 alarm (walk dog before church) :( Oops

    JFT 6/6 Sun.
    1) 9:00 church :smiley:
    2) Laundry: fleece blankets hanging to dry & flannel sheets washed for the season :)
    3) Sam's Club w/ hubby :)
    4) Pesto whitefish & baked asparagus for supper / net cals better than yesterday ~ shouldn't be hard / 12c water
    5) Prep overnight oats & water bottle / finance chores online / put away laundry / another chore?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / 6:00 alarm (x-train before work)

    Felt so tired yesterday midday onward, not helped by heat. That's what I get for early dog walk on Sat. Not worth getting up early on Sun. to walk dog. Too hot anyway, nearly 80 by 8 a.m. Today is shaping up to be another rest day. Need to get this sorted for summer season & weather.

    2021 Goals:
    1) Weight 150#
    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 ~ 2.28.21 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21
    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 completed 97.44 miles total / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 ~ completed distance on 3.21.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21 = 146 out of 339 in 34:00:42 / Hope 2021 Face Mask virtual 5K (benefits No Kid Hungry) anytime 5.11.21 in 58:04 / 100 Miles in May virtual challenge ~ 134.68 miles would've been more if I hadn't sluffed off on dog walks one week / Bellin (virtual) 10K
    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 up
    Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings

    JFT Monday
    1. 1 set of lifts. Balance work. Feed cats. Meds. Tea! AM walk at park if not raining.
    2. Clean out Green Room. Talk to Duane about moving other items; where will sideboard go?
    3. Wages script. Run lines for Little Princess. Late AM bike ride?
    4. Lunch: Bibimbap? What can I do to get my silver jewelry re-shinied? Community day!
    5. Stretch. Fanfic. S&F script work. Check on plates. Read: 30 min.
    6. Afternoon: Choose orgs for donations? Check in on MFP. Log reading on Beanstalk and Goodreads.
    7. Evening: Clois action scene. Dinner: Soup? Read-aloud Jolly Roger? Rehearsal.
    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.
    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? Donations to thrift store and McKay's.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of January: 189.8
    End of February: 190.0
    End of March: 190.4
    End of April: 188.7
    End of May: 191.2
    Today: 191.4

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. 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. Running just plain sucks. And it's supposed to rain all week. Bleugh.
    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.

    JUNE CHALLENGE:
    for 30 days ... LOG ALL FOOD AND WATER.
    Just that simple![/b]

    Days of tracking food: 4 out of 6
    Days of tracking water: 0 out of 6


    I forgot to post goals.. but at least I did track. But not the healthiest day ... hot dog and chips for lunch, bratwurst and chips for dinner, oh, and ice cream. What is wrong with me... even hubby is saying we need to start eating better, eating more veggies, etc.

    I think its summer, and I just am tired of cooking. Its hot outside, and I was working in the yard.
    So I NEED to start preplanning my weeks and meals so that when it gets time to eat we don't just eat a hot dog or pizza LOL!

    But, I did track..and doing that is a eye opener as to how much I have been eating.

    SO goals for Monday, 6/7
    1. log ALL food
    2. concentrate on water
    3. preplan: Tomorrow I am going to make chicken/walnuts/soysauce/celery in the wok, with brown rice. Stick to this plan!!. Lunch ... yogurt or cottage .. no more hot dogs and mindless grabbing ice cream.

    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!!!

    That sounds awful!

    I am allergic to bites as well, mine always swell up.... In the past to quite disgusting sizes....

    You may have tried this already, but if not I recommend boots bite cream with antihistamine and/or hayfever & bite tablets containing citirizine..... It's made my life so much easier every summer having a supply of these!

    Had a very nice weekend! Had a lovely walk on Sat and then on Sun went round to my friend's for a nice afternoon picnic.

    I somewhat/totally failed on the June challenge at the picnic; it was one of those affairs where you just graze on lots of different little things and I'm afraid I just couldn't be bothered. Which did not end well for me really as I ended up feeling uncomfortably full and weight is up today!

    I'm not sure how better to approach picnics to be honest. I had thought that I had taken a reasonable amount of food for the number of us and so was actually quite surprised when I ended up super full. I guess it was too much. Perhaps the answer is to pre log the food I expect to eat for awareness, though when others bring food obviously the pre logging isn't possible. I suppose writing down on paper during the event is a possibility if the electronic logging is disruptive (which it can be in the middle of socialising). Another idea would be to pace out the eating so as to become aware of increasing fullness better. It's so difficult! I don't have picnics very often at least, but there are usually one every month or so in summer so need to have a better strategy for dealing with them or else they do end up derailing things a bit.

    Didn't sleep particularly well last night, think it was probably the heat plus being preoccupied with house stuff. However I did get some sleep - and my boyfriend tells me it was more than I think - so hopefully I won't be too tired and useless today. I have a lot to do.

    Anyway, today's goals:

    Log everything I eat & drink - June challenge
    Be in the green
    No alcohol
    Get 5,000 steps

    @bookmeister86 I love a picnic or buffet and will happily graze. If it’s a bring your own food, I will take plenty of bite sized veg and hummus/dip, strawberries, grapes etc. and try to have more of these than the more calorie laden crisps, pastries etc. Unfortunately, wine goes very well with a picnic!

    @teigansdad Happy to see you posting JFT again. Welcome back! We all ride the struggle bus at times. I recently had a 10-day hiatus from all logging & basically the fitness grind. For myself, JFT makes me more accountable.

    1) 9:00 church :smiley:
    2) Laundry: fleece blankets hanging to dry & flannel sheets washed for the season :)
    3) Sam's Club w/ hubby :)
    4) Pesto whitefish & baked asparagus for supper / net cals better than yesterday ~ shouldn't be hard / 12c water :/ Chips & dip plus dry roasted peanuts put me over, but at least it was better than recent weekend days. Red net cals & only 9c water. :s
    5) Prep overnight oats & water bottle / finance chores online / put away laundry / another chore? = 3/4
    6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS couldn't be bothered / RETAINERS / Voltaren forgot / 6:00 alarm (x-train before work) = 3/5

    JFT 6/7 M
    1) To beat the heat, x-trained in basement before work :) amazing how quickly I lose strength when I skip two weeks
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    3) Supper? / net cals zero / 14c water
    4) Write up remote access security / office summarization / Facebook Live 12:00 / catch up w/ emails

    Still battling the heat and humidity as we wait for the part for the AC to come in. At least there’s some rain in today’s forecast, and temperatures should drop considerably over the next few days.

    Stepped on the scale this morning and was pleased to be down a pound from last week. I still have a long way to go to take off the 30+ pounds I put back on over the last 15 months, and I’m not sure I’m ready to go back to daily weigh-ins. But logging – and staying below my calorie limit – is getting easier.

    Summer presents its own challenges, including a lot more social events centered on high-calorie food, cocktails, and “rosé all day.” This summer, with Covid rates down and the lifting of most restrictions in the US, people seem primed for a celebratory summer. My family is still feeling cautious, so I think our gatherings will be smaller but all the more extravagant when it comes to food and drink. Striving for balance and a weekly deficit will be tough. I need to start working on a plan if I don’t want to weigh more in September than I do now.

    I can imagine house hunting is very stressful and can get you feeling that way.
    I hate having to look for rentals.
    It's annoying when you find the perfect place then it's like "no pets"
    Then it makes me just makes me want to own my own house then I remember I can't afford it 😂 but hang in there, I'm sure you'll find something that you'll love :)

    @teigansdad glad to see you back!

    Had a busy day today. Did a bit of shopping and bought some paint.
    Ash was meant to have a hairdresser round at 8pm but he brought it forward to 5:30.
    I don't mind at all but it meant the cleaning had to be done quick time.

    I wish there was an exercise entry for "extreme mopping". Actually came out in a sweat. But we did it with 5 mins to spare.
    Now me and the kids are chilling upstairs, they're about to have a bath because their feet are black from mud from playing in the garden.
    It's been a bit of a crazy school holiday.
    I love it when we're doing things with the kids. but then when me and Ash want to do something like paint, they start acting up and it gets stressful. It's a bit unfair when we do as much as we can for them but they won't give us the time to do what we need to do.
    I guess that's kids being kids though!

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts to remember.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • The scale is only one gauge of progress. Others include Measurements, clothes fit, improvement in general well-being/fitness.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    Weigh in this morning and weight has not moved in a week, in fact it has gone up. Baaaaaah. It's frustrating as have been in green every day other than Sunday (picnic). Cannot, surely, have eaten so much on Sunday as to counterbalance six days of good eating. Would have had to eat 3,000 calories surplus for that to be the case!

    Patience, patience....will keep going and keep the faith that it will come off if I stick at it, even if body is resisting giving up those pounds initially.

    @Snowflake1968 - is it a 7 or 14 day average that you keep track of?
