My JFTers, thank you very much for your support! Lately I have become such a whiner, like I'm the only one with struggles. Sorry about that! I need to remember my WOTY: tenacity. Reading all your posts are so inspiring to me.
and hugs to all my JFTers!
@pridesabtch Been there done that with plantar fasciitis. Rest really does help, and not doing too much too soon. Now I need to take my own advice LOL.
@MLHC1 Thanks for your comments, and your belief about me returning to the 5K and 10Ks. The competitiveness in me is trying hard to be patient!
@more_freggies76 Sorry about the hand pains and playing the piano. (((hugs)))

OH MY GOD! I just lost a huge post! Good Lord, that is annoying! I am going to take my own advice and post my goals for today and then go back and try to catch up. Otherwise, I get lost down a rabbit hole trying to catch up and I don't have time to post goals or reply to anyone. But I do want you to know I hope everyone is doing great and I'm sending Hugs to you all for successes and for struggles.

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: 202.1
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. Today was better but EVERYTHING is a struggle.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.2 -

I’ve been going back a page at a time to try to catch up, and I have a few things I want to say before I forget!
@littleblackskirt I am so sorry to hear about your mum. Sending gentle hugs to you. 🌹
@cschmitz110515 it sounds like you have something going on with your knees? As active as you are, that must be so frustrating! I hope you didn’t fall on the ice or anything! Your dog must be so sad too. 💞
@mytime6630 I will absolutely pray for your daughter. That must be so scary for you and your husband, and I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for her to feel so hopeless. I hope the increased dose of medication helps. ♥️

Hi everyone, took a break from posting (not logging) this weekend to rest and encourage DH to rest, then busy Sunday.
@TerriRichardson112 Decluttering sewing is kinda like shopping, you discover fabrics and unfinished projects and are hopefully inspired! DH has agreed to make me room for sewing in a corner as soon as we land, which is really nice of him. I've tried to keep my craft stuff organized when I packed them; tried. I hope you're enjoying the declutter and sewing!
@mytime6630 Happy Onderland! (below 200)
For me, I'm still packing, trying to work on my habit goals, including shoving boxes and stuff out of the way for some exercise. No loss, slight gain. Still working at it.
The habit list helps. I've decided to alternate packing and cleaning/spackling days. Doing better at destressing, breathing, and detaching myself from drama coming from relatives. It is helping me right now sticking to the fact that (I believe) this is a door that God opened and path HE wants us to walk, and we will walk it and trust HIM no matter what happens next. No sense worrying about the mountains possibly in our way.
Hi there!
Just wondering how you’re doing? When do you actually move? Is it coming up soon? Are you excited?2 -
@TerriRichardson112
I’m not sure what sewing decluttering challenge you’re doing but could you come here and declutter mine next, please?? 😉
I’m actually spending 30 minutes 4 times a week in mine going through fabric. Oh my goodness! It’s crazy how much I have. 🤦🏻♀️2 -

@cschmitz110515 you are allowed to whine! Other people's problems don't diminish your own, and it's so frustrating when your body stops you doing the exercises you want to do. I hope your knees recover quickly.
@PackerFanInGB nice to see you. I've been thinking about @MrsHermit as well, I wonder if she is actually in the middle of her move right now?littleblackskirt wrote: »

Stay under 1500 calories hmmm, not sure
Eat some veg no
Back exercises no
Foot exercises yes
Walk yes, out with grandson, too slow to be exercise though
A positive thought - Had a good day with grandson, he was happy all day, and was asleep within 2 minutes of going to bed
My logging completely fell apart yesterday. I don't know how those of you with small children manage to weigh and log lol.
I've been awake since about 4am, and don't feel like I have the energy for another full day babysitting. and it's raining...again!

Yesterday did not have too many interruptions; mainly just emotional!! Hubby was extra tense and on edge yesterday and projected his chaos onto me. 😳 My response, naturally I overate!! A new issue has arose due to stress....I am chewing my cheeks at night while sleeping and waking up with terrible mouth sores from the chewing. I'll see what I can do to reduce my stress and see if this helps, IDK things have been quite overwhelming lately! 🤦♀️
Well enough complaining / venting about me, Lol!! (I sure appreciate you all being there for support!!)

@PackerFanInGB Dog has been sad b/c I was walking on the treadmill to avoid snow & ice on roads. But arthritis in my knees is worse in during winter weather fronts and cold. Knees were feeling ok-ish and I was happy to walk in the Frenzy on the Fox 5K on 1/21. Bad idea. Right knee much worse, medical diagnosis 1/27 was "inflammation due to overuse & arthritis". Helped by anti-inflammatory prescription (done with that now) and physical therapy exercises. Some days good, some not so good.

Happy Valentine's Day y'all!
Yesterday was hectic but good, and I did squeeze in a nap. Spin class was rough as my foot was bothering me, so I didn't do the standing parts, I just called them. Means my workout was lack luster, but it was better than no workout.
Tim went old school for dinner and made a Chef Boyardee pizza. A throw back to leaner years early in our relationship. It was sweet. He also got me a really pretty sapphire ring. Not really my thing as I don't often wear rings. The stone is rather large but I think it might make a cute pinky ring. The other option, which I'm considering, is exchanging it for something I actually like. We'll see. When I go to have it sized I may look around. If I fall in love with something of similar price I may go ahead and get it.
Work, dentist and Bible Study tonight. Hoping to ride the Peleton after Bible study, but sometimes by then, I'm just too tired. Unless I squeeze in a nap between work and dentist. Kind of depends on how work goes today.

Yesterday did not have too many interruptions; mainly just emotional!! Hubby was extra tense and on edge yesterday and projected his chaos onto me. 😳 My response, naturally I overate!! A new issue has arose due to stress....I am chewing my cheeks at night while sleeping and waking up with terrible mouth sores from the chewing. I'll see what I can do to reduce my stress and see if this helps, IDK things have been quite overwhelming lately! 🤦♀️
Well enough complaining / venting about me, Lol!! (I sure appreciate you all being there for support!!)
Hugs and prayers for all of us who are overwhelmed, tired, and working to overcome. 🌷🧸🌷

@clicketykeys I saw one of your goals was Duolingo, what language are you learning.
I've not been logging again.
Argh it's like I want to do it but something stops me from doing it and it's all in my mind?!
Either way I stared at myself in the shower for ages yesterday and was like..
I'm not gonna have the body I want if I don't do it. And then how can I wear the clothes I have in summer (lots of crop tops lol)
So I tried body shaming myself into some action.. not worked yet but I have had a more healthy attitude and tried not to overeat atleast.
I just need to log.
It might be cause the kids are off school. It always puts me off.4 -

Body shaming tends to only work short term for me, because the changes I want to see are long term and I get impatient. Hope your healthier attitude takes over and sets you up for success. Love ya!1 -

I’m not sure what sewing decluttering challenge you’re doing but could you come here and declutter mine next, please?? 😉
I’m actually spending 30 minutes 4 times a week in mine going through fabric. Oh my goodness! It’s crazy how much I have. 🤦🏻♀️
I’m a bit behind on this 😂 But it is fun rediscovering forgotten projects 😂

😱Elder G/S told us on Monday morning that a number of his work colleagues are Covid positive after a works event last Friday. He told us that he has tested positive for Covid this morning.
We drove him up to his mum’s on Sunday afternoon. We tested negative today, and will test each day for the next week with our fingers crossed.

Just checking in JFT friends!
I've had a challenging couple of years. With the pandemic, my job got very intense and started taking up a lot of my time and mental energy. I was able to go remote, but have needed to work massive amounts of overtime. The gym and pool are not safe for me as someone who is immune compromised and I haven't been able to grocery shop in person in nearly two years. My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer about a year ago, so I have been going back and forth across the state taking care of my parents and taking my dad to treatments. He passed away on January 30th. I am still at my mom's house helping her out, but I hope to be able to go home soon and start taking care of myself a bit again.
My word of the year was PERSIST for several years. Last year I chose SHINE, and I have certainly done that professionally and maybe as a daughter. In 2022 it would be nice to ENJOY life a little bit after a couple of years of very hard work. That depends on the pandemic of course, but I hope to be able to get back to some of the things that I love (social dancing?) and maybe even travel a bit. Losing weight and getting fitter again will make those things more enjoyable. Also, I have inherited Hobie pedal kayaks and I hope to get out and use them this spring and summer.
I will start posting daily goals again soon.

@azulvioleta6 So sorry you have had such a trying time, and sincere condolences on your recent sad loss. You are such a caring daughter. I’m sure your mum is glad of your presence at this time.
Give yourself a little time to grieve and remember the good times you had together.
You will always find a sympathetic audience here.
(((Hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻4 -
@Bex953172 Right now I'm focusing on Portuguese, though I've played around with some other languages as well. What about you?6

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
End of 2021: 194.4
Today: 199.8
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.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Mar 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. I think I did all right today. Very full but good.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.4 -
@asulvioleta6 I am so very sorry to hear about your father! My sincere condolences to you and your mother.
I hope you are able to begin taking care of yourself and enjoying life again soon. I do remember you used to dance quite a bit, didn't you? Maybe even Salsa or ballroom, but I could be remembering that wrong. The pandemic has been very difficult these past two years, and with you being immunocompromised, it must be terribly difficult. I can't even imagine not going grocery shopping for 2 years.
Hugs to you. xxoo
======================
@TerriRichardson112 Thank you for the link to the video! I was so surprised to see it is from Just Get It Done Quilts! I love her videos. I am going to watch it tonight!
I hope you continue to feel well with the news of your g/s.
======================
@cschmitz110515 I totally get it with the knees and the winter weather! I have had days this winter where I could barely walk! I don't know why, but it's just been really bad this winter. I just got started on a round of anti-inflammatories and I can already tell the difference. I'm sorry you are having this issue. You're brave for doing the 5k! It's been so dang cold here! We really do need to meet one of these days!

I didn't get on earlier today to make goals, but I had some in my head and I did well with most of them except the water. I didn't drink my 64 oz water again today. I drank 44 oz of pure water, but I'm really trying to get this habit on lock. It just doesn't taste good to me, and I think maybe it is because I crave hot coffee or tea in the winter.
Has anyone heard from @HEGoddard0928 or @bookmeister86? I hope they are doing well! It's funny how connected you can feel to someone you only know from being online, isn't it? I think of all my JFT friends often! I've been on the JFT threads since Joan started them years ago.
As long as I'm on here, I'll put my goals for tomorrow. I hope you all had a nice day!
