    Today is the last work day of my professional career (42 years!), and I still got up early (alarm 5:40 a.m.) and walked dog (3.94 miles today) before going to the office. It hasn't been easy but I'm proud of myself for sticking to it!

    With finalizing stuff in the office yesterday and today, no time to post JFT goals. Tbh, yesterday my dept. had a surprise food day, I indulged somewhat and would have no idea how to log. After a few more administrative type tasks this morning, I am leaving at lunchtime, and not coming back. Ever. Yippee!
    Welcome to the ECOR (Elite Company of Retirees). I guarantee that after a few weeks you’ll be busier than ever, but you do get to choose what you’re busy with 😝

    So I hope I do this right as it's my first time posting on here and I can't seem to find a way to go back to the very first post explaining how it works after jumping to the most recent comments:

    (I know I did that semi- right lol)
    Welcome to our wee group.

    There is no set way of doing it. 😂 You choose what works best for you.

    @DianaGetsFit512 Welcome to JFT! It's a great group for support and accountability.

    @TerriRichardson112 Thanks! My first two weeks are already booked up somewhat, but then things will slow down (I think). I look forward to being able to choose what I do each day. :smiley:

    JFT 10/10 M ~ adjusting daily goals will be evolving for a bit :p
    1) Walked dog 3.6 mi & by chance met up with Kim & Bogey so we had company for 1/2 our walk. Fun! :sunglasses: happy dog & happy me
    2) After breakfast, had coffee & devotions with hubby <3:smiley: this might be our new daily thing, now that we have time
    3) Move hourly ~ when possible with car ride, we're also taking dog & leash
    4) Log food if possible but not sweating today / at least 64 oz. water
    5) Prep clothes & toiletries for tomorrow's overnight trip
    6) Floss / retainers / pray

    Today is my 65th birthday and officially my first day of retirement. Walked dog already, but didn't have to get up more than an hour before sunrise or wear reflective & LED gear. I will miss seeing the constellation Orion, but that's ok LOL. In a bit, hubby and I will take off to drive north and look at all the leaves changing colors. It's something we typically do on my bday, and we love it. Not sure about where we'll be dining, so may not log everything today, and that's ok!
    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    65 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
    • 9.30.22 leveling off, starting downwards again :)
    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

    I love the constellation Orion. I learnt a few things about it! So every knows the famous "belt" but theres 4 or 5 stars that surround it like a box almost (think that's the legs and shoulders and head) but the top left star will look slightly reddish. That's Beetleguese, a red giant.

    And then also from Orion's belt there's a few stars that go downwards to symbolise his sword I think? I can't see it where I live because of light pollution. But that's roughly around where the Orion Nebula is!

    Had a pretty good birthday yesterday. Went to my niece's baby shower (they loved my Pooh bear painting) and then came home and took a much needed nap. It was glorious. I also indulged in a little pizza and brownies. My daughter made me diet friendly brownies, they weren't exactly good, but she was trying to make it so I could eat them guilt free! Weight was up a pound today, but I can live with that. I know I didn't eat 3500 extra calories yesterday.

    Taking care of Tim has had me up a lot at night and I think it finally caught up with me. Well that and I forgot my thyroid meds yesterday, that always makes me drag a bit. Was late for work this morning, but on time for my meetings. Things are really coming to a head with the upcoming audit deadline. I'm at a point now where I need to wait for other people to do things, and the control freak in my is unhappy and nervous. On a upside the stress really does help me lose weight. Yes I'm logging and following a program, but with the stress, I'm rarely hungry. Not getting my water in like I'd planned, but that is small in the grand scheme I guess. People at the shower who hadn't seen me in a couple of months really noticed my weight loss. Funny people at work have been complimenting me lately on my appearance, but never mention the weight. It's like they can't figure out what is different about me.

    Today has been super busy at work, and I just can't wrap my head around the magnitude of stuff that needs done prior to the 24th. Guess I'll figure it out. Tim wants to get out of the house and go for a walk when I get home. He's still moving pretty slow from surgery, but he's a bit stir crazy. He tried to go to the store with me last week, but only made it about 3 miles before realizing he wasn't ready yet. He walked yesterday, so that should be fine. I need to make dinner this evening, but not sure what to make. Thinking meat loaf or salmon. Both will need defrosted before I cook them. I hate defrosting meat. Not sure why, but I do. I should also mow, but that most likely won't happen today.

    Hello! Back on MFP. I threw out my back the other day just by coughing. I read about how to recover, and it said I need to exercise and stretch.

    I have been a lazy bum for ages, with a love for cheese, and noodles with runny eggs.

    I don't like the way that I feel, and it's time I get motivated again!!!

    Feel free to add me. I don't remember how to do it! I am 31 with 40 lbs to lose. Thank you!

    JFT-
    1. Track my food
    2. Take a walk
    3. Duolingo
    4. Puzzles for my brain
    5. Stretch!!!!
    6. No bevvies

    Goals for 10/11
    - Yoga
    - Nutritionist appointment
    - 32 oz of water
    - Try to get back on track with eating
    - Try to get somewhat caught up with work

    Haven’t been able to eat much lately due to antibiotics making my digestive issues worse instead of better. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor tomorrow to figure out if I need to just try and stick it out for another week and a half or if there’s some other solution.

    Also I’m miles behind at work, mostly because I was feeling sick from the medicine and couldn’t focus long enough to get stuff done last week and over the weekend.

    One step at a time I guess…

    Yesterday was a bit awful at work. I guess I was having a full blown panic attack complete with chest pains. Luckily I kept the tears to a minimum. The control freak in me is definitely not enjoying the fact that I need to count on others to do their job.

    Today I have to take mom back to get the results of her dementia testing. She doesn't want to go, and I don't blame her, but it needs to happen. Hopefully she doesn't take it out on me.

    Other than that, shopping trip at SAM's and Bible study, maybe a walk if there is time before Bible Study.

    Goals for 10/11
    - Yoga
    - Nutritionist appointment ✅
    - 32 oz of water
    - Try to get back on track with eating 🤷‍♀️
    - Try to get somewhat caught up with work ✅

    Pretty pleased with how work went today - managed to get a good bit accomplished. Nutritionist appointment didn’t go as badly as I thought as far as the weigh-in was concerned.

    Haven’t had all my water or done my yoga yet today, but I’m going to try and get both done before I go to bed.

    Getting back on track with eating… I got more calories in my body today, that’s for sure, but it definitely wasn’t healthy. Will try to do better tomorrow.

    Hello! Back on MFP. I threw out my back the other day just by coughing. I read about how to recover, and it said I need to exercise and stretch.

    I have been a lazy bum for ages, with a love for cheese, and noodles with runny eggs.

    I don't like the way that I feel, and it's time I get motivated again!!!

    Feel free to add me. I don't remember how to do it! I am 31 with 40 lbs to lose. Thank you!

    JFT-
    1. Track my food
    2. Take a walk
    3. Duolingo
    4. Puzzles for my brain
    5. Stretch!!!!
    6. No bevvies

    Yesterday went very well! Did a 9 mile walk. Only thing I didn't do was Duolingo.


    So just for Wednesday:

    1. Track my food
    2. Take a walk
    3. Duolingo or crochet, or Hey - Both!
    4. Puzzles for my brain
    5. Stretch!!!!
    6. No (alky) bevvies
    7. Chew more thoroughly
    8. Make healthy dinner again

    I'm really enjoying cooking at home again. For some reason, I always thought I'd get a pitiful amount of food if I cooked from scratch, so I'd get premade meals because I thought the effort wouldn't be worth it.

    But actually, wow we both got a ton of salad these last few days! And it's all fresh!

    Feel free to add me if you'd like. I don't know how to add people on here anymore!

    Water is my main focus today. Nutritionist wants me to aim for 64 oz a day, which is at least double what I normally drink right now. Increasing slowly but surely

    Y'all have a stellar day!

    Yesterday was busy, but I didn't get as much done as I needed to. Work was stressful and non-stop until I left at 2:00 to take mom for her follow-up appointment for her dementia evaluation. The evaluation was pretty conclusive that she has Alzheimer's, which is good and bad. Good because there are medications that can slow progression, but bad because that is a long awful disease. Mom took the news pretty well all things considered. We will follow up with her regular doctor for treatment options. After I dropped her off at home, I went to SAM's to buy goodies for the crew team. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my membership card so it was a no go. All I ended up doing was making it so I got home too late to grab a walk before Bible Study. Bible Study was ok, I wasn't really prepared, but that's ok it was still nice to fellowship. My eating was not on point yesterday...

    I think the Alzheimer diagnosis is really just now hitting me as I type this. It really is an awful disease. One I'm not ready to experience.

    This evening we are going to a viewing/visitation for a dear friend who has gone to be with the Lord. She was the most positive Christian woman I've ever known. I put her up there with my great grandma in influence, that is pretty high praise. Sandy was just one of those people who put herself out there, god, bad and redeemed. I suck at going to these things. I tend to get overly emotional and make a fool out of myself. Hopefully, taking the anxiety meds will take the edge off. Sandy was sick for a long time, and she is most definitely in a better more peaceful and joyful place.

    After the viewing, I'll try going to SAM's again. Still can't find my card so I'll need to get a new one, but that is doable.
