Hi JFTers! It's been quite a while since I last posted, but I really want to get back to healthier habits, setting goals, and staying accountable. Thank you, Joan, for setting up the 2025 thread. I'd intended to jump back on after my winter break, but somehow January got away from me and February is mostly gone. But I'm…

Hi all! I've still got a bit of vertigo, but I'm finally starting to feel better - just in time to get observed in my online research writing class. I have no problem with observations in my face-to-face classes, but juggling all the resources in Zoom and keeping the class engaged is a real challenge. Hopefully it will all…

Hi all! Hope all is well! Sorry for disappearing again. November's been super busy, and I haven't been feeling well. Not sure what's up, so it's off to the doc today. I'll get back to setting goals soon.

Another busy Tuesday with a few extra tasks thrown in. I've got a student coming in an hour before class for some extra help, and I need to stop and cast my vote on my way home. I don't think I'll get a walk in, and logging will be a challenge. Today I turn 65, so I'll finish up the day having dinner out with my husband…

Took the weekend off and bad habits crept back in. So it's back to basics today. JFT Monday 11/4 Log Healthy choices Hydrate Walk? Chores Prep/Grading Relax Sleep

Another Halloween in the books. I set up my self-serve candy cauldron after class and headed up to spend the rest of the day with my daughter. She wanted to get something like real food into them before they headed out to trick-or-treat, so I worked on the snacks while she juggled pick-ups and dropping the older one off…

Happy Halloween! I finished up midsemester conferences yesterday and met up with my daughter for a walk. She was craving a burger, so we went to Shake Shack. Not the healthiest choice, but by picking the simplest burger and substituting avocado for the cheese I made it a little less "bad." Recap 10/30 Log - :) Healthy…

Last day of conferences :) Back to my usual goals. I'll weigh in tomorrow to close out the 5# challenge. JFT 10/30 Log Healthy choices Hydrate Walk? Chores Prep/Grading Relax Sleep

Busy roller-coaster of a weekend followed by three more days of student conferences. On top of that I seem to have come down with a minor cold.

Playing catch-up with work because I wound up filling my time with stuff for my kids. My daughter came over for after I got home from class to get help with her hair. I touch up her roots for her every so often, and she wanted them done before her social events this weekend. (It's odd to hear her talk about the few grey…

I had fun with the littles yesterday but didn't get much exercise playing with Lego or watching them run around on the playground, so I'm determined to work a walk in today.
