    More lobster for me!!!! Found mini Langostino lobster tails at Aldi’s. Spaghetti squash, broccoli & lobster with Alfredo for under 500 calories.

    This was hubby’s bowl, mine was lighter on sauce than his.

    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2

    Today: 196.4

    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 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 – Late Oct? ObG schedule for 9/28. PCP Aug 17. Therapy July 27.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 3.
    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. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    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. I'd like to offer time to read in class but some of my students don't bring their books.
    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.

    Goals for Monday are simple -

    No snacks one small one
    Back and foot exercises some
    Sensible meals yes
    As much outside work as possible, as it's forecast rain after today. got lots done, very stiff afterwards!

    Glad I got lots of tidying up outside done yesterday, as it's heavy rain today. there's still more to do if it dries up sometime. Today I've spent breakfast time on hold to government phone line for my mother (hoping to get through quicker if I phoned early). Told to phone another number, and now need to send in a letter and forms (originals, always makes me jittery!). No wonder I don't like using the phone lol.

    JFT Tuesday

    No snacks
    Back exercises
    Foot exercises
    Sensible meals
    Government letter
    Care home/grocery shopping/petrol
    Don't buy high calorie snacks at store

    - Protein bar for brunch :smile:

    Make your Monday a little less Monday if you can! Love y'all!

    Happy Healthy Tuesday y'all. Weight is holding steady rather than going down, but I'm thinking part may be PMS. Sigh... Not likely to make my goal of 180 by 10/31, but I'm not that far off, I still lost 8 pounds this month and I should be excited by that.

    Not much planned today other than work stuff. Leftovers for dinner as hubby takes a long evening to workout and do yoga on Tuesdays. My plan to start working out November 1 scares me a bit. I'm so far out of shape, it will be hard to not be discouraged, but at least my workout clothes fit a little better than they did.

    JFT Tuesday
    - Weigh :neutral:
    - Work by 8:00 :( close but not quite
    - Meetings
    - Protein shake for brunch
    - More meetings
    - Stay at work until 4:30pm
    - Home and take a nap
    - No alcohol
    - Log food
    - Stay green
    - Bed by 11:30, in bed not on couch

    @PackerFanInGB The last downtown farmers market is this Sat. (always the end of Oct. & limited vendors). I will miss my favorite vendors & fresh food, but not getting my *kitten* out of bed to beat the crowds will be nice. There may be a winter version (Market on Military) that I've been to before, not sure of any schedule at this time. Our grill is charcoal, I've never owned a gas grill. My youngest brother grills on charcoal year round, even in winter, but I'm not crazy about that.

    Recap M 10/25 ~ rest day? yes
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (log in Exercise Notes) :)
    2) Leftovers for supper? / net cals zero / 14c water :s Ate crackers after I closed my log so logged in morning. -422 & 13c Feeling bloated today = ugh!
    3) Complete ROP-BJ checklist templates / complete draft & email Surveillance request / catch up email backlog from last week / wait on direction for PA-BB (again... ugh) / started reformatting F&Ds (sigh) = 4/5
    4) Ecard to ESL / take clean clothes upstairs & put away :D done except for my shirts now hanging on back of my office chair / another ta-da? TA-DA called folks, spoke mainly to dad for change, that was fun <3 stowed all empty planters in basement or garage, emptied shipping boxes & stored stuff, folded hubby's work shirts & my workout clothes = 2/3
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (dog walk before work) :( 1/6

    JFT T 10/26
    1) Accurate logging / net cals zero / 14c water
    2) ROP-BJ: email Surveillance request & reformat F&Ds / 10:00 R.M. meeting / 12:00 Facebook Live / 2:00 - 4:00 sports betting reports training (Teams) / OOO message
    3) Walk dog after work
    4) Some ta-da?
    5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (conference center 8 a.m.)

    For some reason last night, I was too wound up to fall asleep right away (unusual for me). Then I woke several times, including when hubby came to bed around 2:30. We snuggled until Kitty intruded. Apparently she was cold (we keep house cool in evenings for sleeping) and barged her way between hubby and I, then forced her way under the covers between us with just her head stuck out. I could feel her nestling into my hair and laying against my back. At least she was comfortable... she was purring like crazy. LOL Hubby is a pushover for cat, so that was that.

    I didn't walk dog after work last night because still windy with strong gusts. Due to sleep issues, I didn't get up early & walk dog before work today. Since I have training 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow and the next day, I plan to walk dog after work this week. Hope my morning determination is good at the end of the day!

    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 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable ~ 9.1.21 horrible after vacation but recorded ~ 9.30.21 small improvements yay
    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 on 6.19.21 after thunderstorm in 1:45:49 ave. pace 17:02 per mile / Titletown Wellness Shoreline Challenge: virtual distance from Gills Rock to Pleasant Prairie (232 miles) as many times as possible 6.12.21 - 11.26.21 / Packers 5K IN PERSON 7.24.21 48:36 ave. pace 15:39 / Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K IN PERSON 10.2.21 47:34 ave. pace 15:19 second half pace 14:48 / Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K 10.9.21 in person 52:10 ave. pace 16:48 hill climb 1:44
    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

    @PackerFaninGB .. YES .. I did get your email. Thank you SO very much! Boy.. its a lot to write down each day, isn't it! I listen to her podcasts, but I've been in such a slump lately. I am barely getting my food logged. Need to get better at this.
    So sorry you are also not feeling well with your sinus infection .. I hope you are also feeling better soon.

    I am so far behind reading, and very tired tonite.. so will try and read more posts tomorrow, and also post my own goals. Don't know what I have to do to get myself back on track ... giving myself a kick in the butt!!!

    Got home from work yesterday and was starving. The protein shake just did not cut it. I was scavenging the house for things to eat. I had left over lobster alfredo, a few wings, a candy bar and some cheese and crackers all in 20-30 minutes. Not ideal, but I did skip dinner since I had so much after work. Stayed well within my calories and managed a bit of homemade strawberry ice cream, yum. Weight is down a bit today, but it could just be that I skipped dinner last night, or more accurately I ate dinner very early. What I should have done was eat one thing when I got home, then wait to see if I was satisfied instead of binging a bit. Oh well, it happened and I stopped it (by taking a nap).

    Huge Global meeting this morning at 7:00am. A bit nervous I'll make a fool of myself, but my part is relatively minor unless there are questions. I am new in the area, so I do not know the history of the quality issues I'm discussing. Oh well, It will be fine, there are others on the call that can field the questions if I don't know.

    Have to take the pooch to the vet/surgeon today to evaluate a growth. The growth is very large and they aren't sure they will be able to remove it with where it is. The hope is they will be able to remove at least a portion of it to relieve some pressure on his ribs/abdomen. Scary...

    @Janele0627 How are you feeling these days? Better I hope.
    I'm doing okay. Still not 100% on my health but my doctor hasn't gotten back to me yet...Ugh. I've started taking my usual vitamins again, so hoping that helps at least a little. I've been super busy with state job interviews, the holidays coming up at work, and a myriad of other things. But I did a workout last night even though I really didn't want to! Thanks for checking up on me :)
