    Asclepsia: I haven't been active on this site for several years. When I weighed in at the doctor's office yesterday, the weight was 167.6--I did have sandals on, but they don't weigh much. So, I'll try reporting in for support in diet control, and daily exercise. Hoping to cheer on everyone else, as well.
    I'll aim for 160 for a start. Thanks for the advice.

    Did the reunion thing this past weekend. It was a bit of a let down as not many people from my class showed. Still had fun though. Went off plan eating wise, but didn't go crazy. Giving my weight a few days to normalize before I step on the scale and see the damage.

    Photographer sent me a couple of sneak peaks from V's senior photo shoot. I LOVE them! I must say, my senior pictures looked nothing like these... I feel like she's a fashion model or something.

    JFT 9/26 M
    1) Walked dog 3.66 mi before work, saw geese flying south & our usual bunny :smiley: happy dog & happy me
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    3) Net calories zero / 96 oz water
    4) IIA OnDemand course / complete webinar summaries, pdf & digital sign / submit forms with CPEs / update PRO, PAR, HW s/s's for current week / GA-S Communications folder / catch up email backlog
    5) Wash dishes / another ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / pray / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)

    Retirement notice update: I'm old school, and I want to resign in person. Not by telephone or Teams or email. LOL if I emailed, our Admin Asst. would definitely read before our manager, if manager would even notice. Had planned to give my notice of retirement to my manager Friday, but last minute Thursday at noon, she put vacation time on the schedule for the rest of the day/week. Now it's Mon. and I had planned to give notice. But at 8:55 a.m. today, manager put "telecommute" on the schedule. (Our office hours start at 8 a.m.) I repeat: typical. The last Mon. she worked in the office was Aug. 15, and Aug-Sept on Fridays/Mondays, she was in the office only 2 times each. Geez, way to lead by example.
    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 ~
    • 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)
    • 3.31.22 maintaining not gaining
    • 4.30.22 barely maintaining
    • 5.31.22 ack
    • 6.30.22 ups & downs in June, but no worse at end of month
    • 8.2.22 up again ~ gah! (lazy in July & ate whatever I wanted)
    • 9.1.22 not doing so great eating-wise
    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
    • Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
    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
    • Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine :star: happy me
    • Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
    • Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks, tree roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill... have decided not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me b/c I love train events)
    • watch for other events to add
    • maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    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 ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    That is definitely not leading by example. I think old school is the right way to do it, but if she isn't there tomorrow, I'd Teams her...

    Have a great Monday y'all!

    Didn't do much yesterday, but I did draw a bit when I got home. Hubby is sick, so I'm mostly just staying clear of him. I really, really don't want to get sick. It's just a bad cold, not Covid, but still he's miserable. Probably the same thing that kept V home all week last week.

    I really have very little planned this week, but I'm sure there are things I should be doing. Maybe I'll try to sneak out for a bike ride after work today, assuming Bible Study is canceled... I just don't know, but getting outside would probably be good for my mentally and physically. Even though I know I didn't gain >3 ponds of fat this past weekend, that is what the scale said today. I know it will settle out to maybe a pound soon, but it's still tough to see.

    Also need to go buy paint, but I'm just really not in the mood to paint these days. My niece is however very excited for my to paint a Pooh bear scene for her nursery. I want to make her happy, and I will finish it by the 9th, but ugh...

She's happy and excited for me and hubby, and a bit surprised, as she "didn't realize I was old enough to start Medicare" LOL. I'll work this week and next, including doing Year End observations on Fri. to help co-worker with his YE audit. Only fair, since I roped him into observations for the same YE audit last year. Then getting files (paper, electronic) organized for the transition, and possibly assisting next co-worker on GA-S YE that I won't be around to finish testing. Yahoo! Exciting and a bit scary. But my anxiety level is much better. hahaha

    My Why: My girls, and my sanity...

    Yesterday when I got off work I went to Hobby Lobby and dropped V off to get her nails done. By the time we got home, I was starving. I threw together a salad and then I just kind of shut down for the evening. I bought the paint I needed, but didn't paint. I'm not too happy with the way Piglet looks, I think he needs to be a bit bigger in relation to Pooh. I'm also doing the retro Pooh & Piglet, so Piglet's face is different than I'm used to. It looks like the picture, but it looks strange to me. Anyway, I really need to work on that.

    Not much planned for today, other than picking up V's shoes from the repair place at lunch.

    On an up note, my weight is coming down from the weekend, YAY! I knew it would, but it's nice to see. I will probably not meet my monthly goal of hitting 50 pounds lost, but there is always next month. I was down to 48 lost, now I'm back to 47 lost. I doubt I will drop the remaining weight by the end of the month.

    Hi all! No class this morning, so I have some time to check in. I was up at 6, but I'm getting a slow start today. It's supposed to be a gorgeous day, so I should try to take advantage of it. I have lots to do, but I'm just struggling with motivation in general. There's just so much going on - logistically and emotionally - that I'm finding it hard to stay focused. I really need to make better use of my time and get back on track with diet and exercise. So once again, here are my goals for the day....

    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 ~

    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
    • Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine :star: happy me

    • watch for other events to add

    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    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 ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Have a happy day y'all!

    WHY: Make my girls proud of me again.

    Think I'm starting to get a cold. Darn family sharing things I don't want to share! Just stuffy and headachy today, hopefully that's all I'll get.

    Hubby and I went out to dinner last night, but I ate within plan and my weight is nearly back down (within 0.4#) to where it was before the weekend, so that makes me happy. Didn't paint last night because we got home later than I anticipated and I had this darn headache.

    Low key day today, some meetings, training and some paperwork. Can't forget to call financial guy for mom again, she wants to take all of her money out and put it in savings. I can't seem to make her understand that there is no chance of growth or sustaining the amount if it isn't being invested. I know the market is bad right now, but I'm not sure a 0 interest savings account is the way to go... That and I don't want her to have that much access to those funds. Anyway, I have to get her a balance and stop by her house.
