@cschmitz110515 🥰The cold run photos. Well done you!
Welcome newbies! Never too late to join. JFT is a great community for accountability and support.
I am full of admiration for how y’all have come through the trials that fate has thrown at you.
Mental health problems have been swept under the carpet for too long. People deserve to have their problems acknowledged and dealt with.
@littleblackskirt So sorry your mum has Covid. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for her speedy full recovery.4 -

@lacatgirl - this group has helped me so much. I honestly don’t think I would be successful without it.
@Janele0627 - I agree with you and car troubles are one of the worse things to go wrong.
@Faebert - hope it’s not Covid and if it is having had it already hopefully a mild case.
I made a new mug for myself today. I made supper did a couple loads of laundry but mostly had a lazy day. I even slept in until almost 10!
Have a great Monday everyone.
I LOVE your mug!!! Still every so crafty, I see!1 -

Had a positive weekend, despite being quarantined due to a covid exposure at daycare. Got SO MUCH LAUNDRY DONE! Drank lots of water. Had fast food for lunch but didnt binge! I tried out a new grocery delivery service, HungryRoot and I really liked it. Enjoyed a few vegetarian meals this week. Positive changes are shaping up!5

@AJB1014 - yay that does all sound very positive, although quarantining is a pain.
@Snowflake1968 - gorgeous mug. You are so talented
@MrsHermit - it does sound a bit stressful, but this will pass and then you have an exciting new life ahead. Hang in there!
@littleblackskirt - the mindless snacking/grazing is so hard to avoid. I need to work on this too.
Welcome newcomers - this is a great group for support.
I am glad today is nearly over. I still feel quite unwell. Managed a little run on the treadmill this morning, but only because of my RED (run every day) January challenge. I then had a really stressful trip to work, getting kids to school through road closures and then getting my car to the garage and having to run to work from there.
I then was so stuffed up and headachy my colleague suggested I get a PCR test after work. But the car wasn’t ready so I walked 1.5 miles there straight from work then 3 miles home. I’m wrecked! I don’t think I have ‘it’ again but I feel I need to really rule it out.
Monday goals recap:
Morning run ✅ 1.8m
Lateral Flow first thing ✅
Pack soup and yoghurt ✅
Drive kids to school and then take car to garage ✅
Water ❌ coffee, so much coffee
Stay within calorie goal ✅

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
End of 2021: 194.4
Today: 199.0
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 Feb 8 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. Everything is a lot. Therapy Wednesday during planning.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.3 -
Hour commitment - After I finish my cranberries, I won't eat again until tomorrow.1

- Put laundry away XI'm really proud of myself today. Bf picked me up from work, and asked me to order fast food because he wanted to go and work on my car straight away.
We ended up ordering Chinese. While he worked on the car, I did his laundry and did a workout, even though we were at his parents. Normally, I would have used not being home as an excuse to slack off.
In the end, I was barely over my calorie goal for the day, despite my food choices3 -

JFT Monday 24th Jan
Stay under maintenance just! But I did log, first time in ages
Only one snack. Just one, so think about it, no mindless eating of biscuits! one 150 cal snack, mid afternoon. I can't tell you how much I wanted to snack yesterday, that is a bad habit I need to ditch... again!
Back exercises only really easy ones, not good enough
Foot exercises yes
Walk 45 minutes round town
Look for arm exercises online I chose a 10 minute video, I didn't actually do it though!
Check parent's house, do half an hour clearing yes, half hour on paperwork, what I had assumed was a pile of empty envelopes saved for scrap paper was in fact important stuff from when we were executors of my aunt's will. I don't know where I'll store all this stuff, I don't have an attic!
3 phone calls (I hate using the phone) all 3 done, only one problem getting through

The water weight is starting to drop once again so my numbers are looking better!! I need to gain control of my food intake once again to keep the weight dropping. However, yesterday was a success and that helps my motivation even more!! My hubby is still home causing many distractions but I am working diligently to gain control of my schedule once again.
Happy Tuesday my friends!!!

3) Finish review of AJNH working papers & shred as needed other stuff / clear some email backlog = 1/2

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.

- 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 basement3 -
Good morning! I've been down and out with the crud...well, not sure if it was the Rona virus because no tests were available, but I've been down for almost 3 weeks, so I wouldn't be surprised. I have to go back to Page 12 to catch up with what has been happening (11 pages! Holy crow!) so I hope you all are well and that I didn't miss any big news or anything. I'll try to catch up between today and tomorrow.

Hi all! Today is a new day! (never mind that it's halfway over) Persistence is key!
I think I got my days all mixed up. Everybody else seems a half or whole day ahead of me haha so between that and the endless flow of packing I'm starting to lose track of time (except for the countdown to moving day).

Hello to everyone especially newcomers!
@littleblackskirt Thank you. Sometimes I feel like I should be doing more while I look at my small pile of boxes packed for the day and exclaim, "how did that take so long?"
@pridesabtch I know the feeling when there's a certain routine block or interruption and you just "shut down". It's funny sometimes how hard it is to reroute my thinking/plans and do something else. Small steps. I actually celebrated getting all the dishes done yesterday (been behind for an embarrassing amount of time) when I was prevented from doing what I'd planned. It's the small things. Maybe you can pick up and do five minutes of a fun project when you get home, just 5 minutes. Something to help direct you elsewhere.
@AJB1014 Great job on your progress and small changes! Nice! I finally got caught up with the dishes and did NOT make pizza last night (one of the few meals I can find all the ingredients for at the moment with packing). Keep going! Small changes add up over time!
@Faebert Thank you for your nice words. I'm trying to focus on what to look forward to. It kinda looks like the community is more community-like, friendly and down to earth which is definitely something to look forward to. The night sky will be fantastic, which my husband has wanted me to see for years (he used to work in the wilderness as a field geologist). It's like the little train that could, I think I can, I think I can (with God's help). I hope you feel better soon! (((hugs))) *virtual tea*
@more_freggies76 Cranberries are great! I put some in my new batch of vinaigrette.
@Janele0627 Way to go on your good choices!!
@PackerFanInGB ((hugs)) *virtual tea* Feel better soon!
