@Bex953172 Aw thanks. I never thought I would get here. I started maintaining nearly 3 years ago when I hit 155. Then noticed the weight was still very slowly dropping, so kept on to see how far it would go. 😂

Ongoing plans/ideas
2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.
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 GR purchase list.
2. E2: 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? Honors reflection weekly; type 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? Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
6. Medical: Dentist May 12. ObG Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. PT 3P 1/6. Ankle 9:30 2/7.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Jan 12 7P.
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
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. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Calls.
12. Writing: Blog. Scripts. Fanfic.
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 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? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?
WFTY: Focus. Students come back tomorrow.5 -

Yesterday after work, I was surprised to see that snow plow had gone through our outlying neighborhood already, creating the usual snow ridge at end of driveway. Our driveway is very wide (fits 3 cars) and the longest in our block. Happy that hubby had shoveled before he left for work, snow not so deep when I got home. Also glad snow was dry & fluffy, not wet & heavy. I took care of kitty & dog, changed clothes, and shoveled entire driveway, snow ridge, curb under mailbox, front walkway & back patio. Fitbit recognized activity as Walk. Whatever. Helped keep my net calories green. Depending on when today's snow showers end & if hubby shovels before work, I may have to shovel again tonight. Maybe there will be enough snow for next week's workplace hike to be on snowshoes. That would be fun.About me: Carmela
Height 5'4"
64 yrs old
Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA
2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
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 track daily on a separate app (for the visual). 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
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~- started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
- registered for Frenzy on the Fox 5K on 1.21.22
- registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22
- will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
- will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
- will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
- will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
- watch for other events to add
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement
Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship3 -

Well, yesterday's "balanced" eating plan didn't quite go as intended. Far too many sweets. In addition to the planned small cup of ice cream, I started the day with pastry for "second breakfast," skipped lunch but had a cookie with my tea in the afternoon, and ate a few chocolates in the evening. Not exactly consistent with the Mediterranean eating plan recommended by my cardiologist. (Dinner was fine - salmon, asparagus, and brown rice - but I should have chosen fruit instead of candy.) Tonight my daughter's family is coming for dinner since my son is heading home tomorrow. I'm making chicken and cheese enchiladas, a family favorite, but not exactly low in salt, saturated fat, or calories. Well, I'll be aiming for balance again today and hopefully avoiding the sugary stuff.
Recap Wednesday, 1/5
Balanced meals - Not quite
Stay hydrated -
Walk -
Enjoy the ice cream -
One chore - No

Lego project - start phase 2! -

Hi all
I think I forgot to update last night. Took ages at the vet but luckily little Monty the cat is on the mend now. I’m so relieved. Also really pleased that, even though we got back late, cold, tired and hungry, I still made good food choices and stayed under. It’s like things have clicked for me, and I’m far stronger willed because I’m in the zone.
Another good food and exercise day today. Will need to challenge myself a bit now - add in some different exercise and/or add to my running mileage.
Hope you are all doing well - nearly Friday!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the warm welcome @Bex953172 Back again today. Today I showed up, stopped eating when I was full instead of finishing what was on my plate, I drank water and poured out half my coffee! Just for today I will give myself credit for all I have accomplished! And speak nicely to myself when I think about what I did not.6

@cschmitz110515 Carmela, it’s great that you both take the time to keep the sidewalk clear. I’m sure older people, and those less able must appreciate it when people do that.
@Snowflake1968 Tracey, I know what you mean about time and energy. I don’t always get in here every day.
@Faebert Well done on staying on track.

I think I have caught the thing, so trying to get over that. DH is further along than I am, getting better. Thankfully I have a few days to catch up on tasks once I get better. Yesterday I didn't really track (went way over calories), just focused on eating a large variety of food/veggies/fruits.
There has been quite a bit of snow lately, everything looks so very white! I wish I felt better so I can go out and enjoy the deep snow one last time before we move.
@Faebert Thank you, packing is going alright despite the interrupting with this illness. We're also getting a few things that we'll need that won't be available there. It's so satisfying peeking at the package, crossing it off the list, and putting it on the pile "already packed!!". haha I hate moving too. At least this time has a since of adventure, and much prayer.
@Outdoorsy_Canadian Evening snacking is one of my stumbling blocks too. I'm trying to replace it with tea.
@cschmitz110515 Thank you, I'll keep looking to try to help DH.
@Bex953172 It looks like you're already practicing your word of the year: determination! You can do it!!clicketykeys wrote: »JFT Thursday
WFTY: Focus. Students come back tomorrow.
@Janele0627 You're opening a crafts store! How exciting! I hope it goes really well for you! Are you online too by chance?
@AJB1014 I need to do something similar with portions too, put back half or a third. And more water.

Ongoing plans/ideas
These are not up to date. See regular weekday plans. Include previous WOTYs though.
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).

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.

Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?
WFTY: Focus. @MrsHermit I did! Overall things went well. Attendance was only at about 70%, which... honestly I can't do anything about that so I need to just not dwell on it.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.4 -
