Scale goals
End of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
End of 2021: 194.4
Today: 196.0
Ongoing plans/ideas
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? 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. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
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. 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? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?
WFTY: Focus. This week is gonna be super full. I haven't double-booked but I'll need to pay close attention not to miss anything.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.3 -

I’m bit of a mess. I did really well before the holidays then boom, it shattered. Family is good. Work is work, but I’m not being kind to myself. I will start back on goals tomorrow. I can do this. There is no reason I cannot be both happy with my life and happy with my health. Ughhhh….5

I know just what you mean ... I've been this way since Thanksgiving! . I think the shorter days, and lack of sunshine affect all of us in some way .. to me, its seasonal depression. Hubby tells me I've been this way since he's known me. I have no reason to be unhappy, and no reason not to take better care of myself.
But I know you can get back on track ... you and I both will. You've done it before. So (for both of us), we have to not be so hard on ourselves, and give ourselves pats on the back for at least trying!. Hugs.5 -
I had my dinner..... made some acorn squash so that meant eating less of the beef/rice casserole.
Tonite I will eat a apple and maybe some cottage cheese .. but nothing else until tomorrow morning

Obviously the scale was off yesterday because it was back up today. 188.6. I decided to start posting my weight on Happy Scale again today. I weighed exactly the same 182 days ago, I need to do some work. I’m maintaining though, so I guess that’s good.
I did some more tidying again today then went into the city to buy a bench, some throw pillows. I then came home and watched tv most of the day.
Hopefully tomorrow Rodger will bring the other totes in for me and I’ll get the tree and village taken down over the next few evenings.
@MLHC1 - I’ve been praying for Hannah too, the last time she was here Matt was not doing well.
@pridesabtch and @mytime6630 - my husband suffers with some seasonal depression as well. I try to keep candles burning and have fairy lights up later into February to help him.
@Faebert - I know how stressful it is to have financial worries. I’m sorry you are going through this.

@Bex953172 Thank you for the encouragement!!! I am being hard on myself bc very important tasks are not getting done. It is difficult when Hubby is home bc he wants all of my time. I also want to spend time with him, especially bc he travels, but my tasks need attention regardless of how either of us feel. 🤷♀️
Exercising and studying are key tasks to my success.

Ahhh I understand your frustration now. I hate it when I'm trying to do stuff around the house (I have like a mental plan in my head) and then Ash does stuff that requires help sometimes like DIY and I get frustrated because I just wanted to do what I wanted to do 😂
But you are doing great regardless! Keep it up, you'll get there xx3 -

Today will hopefully be my last first day for a while. Nothing great planned today. Not even planning on logging because we have a gathering this evening for the football game and I plan to have wings and beer, BUT I'm not angry with myself today. I will ride the Peleton today after work and I will not fret over the last few months. Anyway, goals:
JFT Monday
- Take V to school
- Work by 8:00
- Work stuff (been a very productive morning so far)
- Pick up V & Ain from school
- Ride the damn bike
- Football stuff
- Bed shortly after the game2 -
The last time I heard from Hannah, she was struggling with trying to have a baby and Matt was not doing well. I sent her a message, but haven't heard back yet... I worry about them.3

Went missing for the weekend from JFT and MFP. No logging food and no workouts. Just too much going on but I'm back.
JFT M 1/10
1) Remain calm ~ things will work out ~ keep praying
2) Treadmill before work 3.16 miles happy me
3) Move hourly / stairs breaks
4) Supper ~ fish out of freezer at lunch? / net calories zero / 112 oz. water
5) Call mom in evening / place citrus order / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / wash dishes / clean toilets / organize clothes for workplace lunchtime hike on Tues. / prep lunch / another ta-da?
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:50 alarm (treadmill before work)
Thanks for the support, my JFTers! Work issues for myself are easing, and surprisingly (to me anyway) I have full support from my asst. manager & manager (that's not a given where I work) vs. operations management. Of course, now I wait again until the deadline extension for OGC & Compliance to respond, but that should resolve the differing opinions one way or another.
Hubby's work issues probably won't get resolved, but did push him to making the determination that he is done with this job in 3 weeks. We had been talking about it, and he had vague plans to quit sometime after his 62nd bday in late January, or switching to part-time, but nothing definite. Now it will be definite. He has been training online with 3D software to hopefully generate income, I have faith in him, and we'll be fine. We had good talks this weekend, some financial research on both our parts, and we know this is the right thing to do.
I also spent the weekend packing up Christmas decorations. Sat. was taking down both trees (one real). Since all the ornaments are mine from years of collecting, hubby leaves me to it. I don't mind; he watched & commented that I enjoy this part almost as much as putting stuff up. True: I was telling him the backstory for many items & the memories attached are very precious to me. He helped get lights off and real tree out to curb. Then I spent rest of the weekend packing up multiple nativities, other decorations, and light cleaning. Almost done, just have several more nativities in non-main rooms.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 hardship2 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (helps me visualize). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Hi all. I’ve been hungry this evening as I had to stay late at work. But I’ve made sure most of the grazing has been fruit or veg like raw carrots and I’ve ended the day under goal.
I was mulling doing a 6:30am gym class tomorrow before work but I’ve decided to wait until we are more into the swing of the new term. It’s always quite rushed getting out on time and it is worse if I’m running late after a class. I don’t want to put my kids under extra pressure while they are still adjusting to dragging themselves out of bed in the morning! So I will hop on the treadmill at home again tomorrow.
Sending good wishes @cschmitz110515 - you sound like you are being a great support for your husband. Hope things work out.
@AJB1014 - being kind to yourself and persevering is half the battle!
@terryrichardson1 - inspiring reading as ever.
Hope everyone else is doing well. I remember Hannah well and hope she is ok.

Ongoing plans/ideas
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? 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. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
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. 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.

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? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?
WFTY: Focus. Shoot. I DID double-book. I wonder if I can leave the pancake breakfast a little early so I can get to yoga...2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.1
