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? 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. I'm really disappointed with my weight gain. I'm not super down on how I look, and I'm able to do what I want to do. I don't feel unhealthy. I just ... it's MY body and it's not doing what I want it to. And I know how to make it do what I want. I just don't seem to be able to make MYSELF do the things I need to do in order to get my body to do what I want it to do... if that makes sense?2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.5 -

Happy Saturday y’all!
Hubby called a friend who lived in Athens after our bike ride and she met us for drinks and we ended up staying out later than planned. I drive so calories were good even though a little has a couple of beers. Like 2 in 4 hours, so felt confident in my sobriety. Before that we did our bike ride which got a late start due to a flat tire, but the weather was beautiful. Mid 70s and sunny. We kept a good pace around 16.5mph not including stops signs. I was happy with that. I couldn’t hold that pace last year. Other than that I painted some things for Theater. All in all a great day.

Hi I would like to join this thread, what a great idea having One Day at a Time. I think that's definitely where I am with my weight loss / general wellbeing commitments. Hopefully this will help me stick to my goals.
I basically started last week trying to lose weight & get fitter. I was 181.6 pounds last week, this week I am 179.4 pounds. So a loss of 2.2 pounds which I'm really happy with.
My goals for today ~ March 6th
1. Cook lunch at home, don't let OH twist my arm into a shop bought lunch (from Greggs which involves sausage roll, sandwich and cake) I will cook poached eggs and wholemeal toast at home & some fruit for afterwards.
2. Tidy up the front garden of any litter that's flew onto our lawn.
3. Sort out the laundry.
4. Have a spa day at home (hair mask, face mask, manicure etc).
Welcome! Best of luck!

@BeIn2day Welcome! Happy to have you join us! Nice job on today's goals.
@clicketykeys Yes, that does make sense! I feel the same way...
@pridesabtch I'm glad you had such a great day. Your weather sounds good too... Cloudy, gray and cold here in Wisconsin. Again. Joy...

Happy Sunday everyone! Hopping on late, but still posting my plan for accountability.
@Snowflake1968 Michaela is adorable!! Looks like she had fun at the shower. I hope this next week at work is easier for you.
@MrsHermit So glad to hear from you! You have had your plate full getting ready for this next adventure, haven't you? Moving is always a pain in the rear, but you've had to take it to a whole new level! From what I'm understanding, you've purchased land in AZ? But no house, correct? Are you building when you get there? Will you have an RV or something to stay in while you build? Do you plan to homestead as far as growing your own produce and having chickens, goats, etc, as your food supply? You are embarking on an exciting adventure for sure. I enjoy reading your updates. I hope you are doing well. I'm guessing when you get there you will get a lot of exercise!
@littleblackskirt I cannot even imagine how difficult it must be going through your parents things. I am fortunate enough to still have both of my parents, but it will be incredibly difficult both physically and emotionally I would imagine. (((HUGS)))
@TerriRichardson112 I like your March Tiny Habit. I have the same evening snack attacks... They are so hard to resist when my motivation is lagging from being the end of the day.
@beachwalker99 I hope you enjoyed your day at the museum. 70 degrees? I'm green with envy...

Clear up kitchen, I don't know what happened in there!
Bring seedlings in. Put them outside to harden off yesterday and forgot to bring them in, it was frosty!
I'm getting annoyed at myself for not doing what I need to, I must stop snacking, especially in the evenings. I'm not even hungry then. I'm hoping I can do everything I want to today, my back is so much more painful with the extra work at parents house. I know I'm pushing it by walking today, but I don't want to let my friend down. I don't like having to say I can't do things, how many times can you do that before people stop trying to meet up with you?!5 -

Have a blessed day.
It was rainy and gross yesterday. Tim was a tad hung over so we just stayed home. I seriously did nothing but nap and watch TV. No really, I only had 888 steps yesterday and most of that was feeding and letting the dogs out. I guess I collected the trash also, but that is it!
Today is a whirlwind of crazy. Had a really important meeting this morning. It went well, but I was extremely nervous. I jokingly told my boss it made my *kitten* sweat I was so anxious. lol. I get to go even higher up the ladder tomorrow morning with bad news. Not looking forward to it especially given what I found out today. The news is worse than we thought it was.
Anyway, that is all one job. My other responsibilities are piling up because that portion of my job is taking a lot of time. I keep getting overwhelmed and then having to talk myself down off the cliff. So far so good with positive self talk.
I may try to go to spin tonight just to take class, assuming I get out of here on time today...

I had a wonderful adventure with my daughter and her boys on Sunday. We spent about four hours exploring the museum and then headed to the park for a late lunch and a long meandering walk. The earliest spring bulbs were blooming in the Shakespeare garden and turtles were sunning themselves on the rocks around the pond. The weather will be turning cooler again tomorrow, but the balmy afternoon was a welcome respite.
I'd better get this posted and head out to class. Have a great day, everyone!
Recap - Sunday 3/6

Balanced meals - Not too bad, despite the lack of veggies. Stayed under calories and made pretty good choices, even from the food carts.

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 ~- 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
- 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
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
- Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
- registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
- 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 basement7 -
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.

Today: Smile ~ Laugh ~ Be Kind ~
~ Eat Well ~ Be Active 5 -
Happy Monday! We woke up to snow covering everything again. It thunderstormed over the weekend and melted all the snow around here, and it was so nice to walk without worrying about slipping. Now winter has returned. I'm sooooooo over it!
Today I'm making some freezer meals. I'm attempting to incorporate more whole foods and fresh produce into my meals. I've never liked vegetables, so I think making them into casseroles, soups or stews is my best bet for success there. I need to learn how to make a nice sheet pan of roasted veggies with spices, but that is for another day.
@pridesabtch Holy cow! Having your *kitten* sweat is stressful, indeed! LOL! That made me laugh out loud (with you, not AT you!) Definitely sounds like a day drinking kind of workday.
@cschmitz110515 Crazy weather for sure! I didn't know we were getting snow today, so when I woke up and my knees and ankles hurt I was surprised but had a feeling what I was going to see when I looked outside. Hard to believe Farmer's Market is starting up in a few months, isn't it? I'm sorry to hear you're having even more discomfort. When it rains, it pours. Good for you for taking the weekend off from technology. I feel a disconnect day coming on for me too... Now if I could get my husband to turn the news off. Stressful times. :flowerforyou:PackerFanInGB wrote: »Just for Today / Sunday 3-6-2022- Make 24 Hour Plan

Welcome @beln2day I saw after your first set of completed goals (well done btw!) That you weren't sure what tomorrows goals would be!
Alot of people's goals on here are very much the same day to day to 'build the habit' so don't worry if you're posting the same things.
Mine are always to do with water, logging, some form of exercise and then just random to-do things that I might need to remember that day 4 -
