    Have been keeping plenty busy, and not much computer time. At least I'm logging food & exercise on MFP using my Android phone. But I really hate updating JFT on my phone.

    JFT 11/23 W
    1) Walked dog 3.82 mi with mild temp (near average finally), no wind (yay) & sunny skies :sunglasses: happy dog & happy me
    2) Move hourly
    3) Salmon & beets for supper / net calories zero / >64 oz. water
    4) Errands done / emails done / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?
    5) 7:00 church service / floss / retainers / pray


    5# Challenge ~ using my Sat. w-i
    Nov. 12 = 175.5
    Nov. 19 = 175


    About me:
    I'm 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 :)
    • 10.31.22 not pretty... I can't stand being this heavy 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)
    • Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay) ~ 48:56 ave. pace 15:45 overall 202 of 296 :star: not too shabby 9 days before I turned 65yo
    • 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 trail 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

    Goals for Wednes, 11/23
    1. log all food :)
    2. concentrate on water :)
    3. go to gym or walk :) Did both gym in the morning, then got in a 3 mile walk .. 61 degrees out today!
    4. clean house :)
    5. laundry :)
    6. prep for thanksgiving .. pumpkin pie, prep brocolli casserole, make ambrosia fruite salad, make pistachio salad :)
    7. Only ONE snack in the evening .. protein shake, apple, or frozen grapes. >:) I made some homemade cinnamon muffins .. all using low calorie ingredients, so they were low calorie. Only problem is that tonite I ate THREE of these .. adding about 500 more calories to a day where already I was over because of sampling salads, and having bratwurst.
    But ... I will be accountable, and log everything, and do better tomorrow.
    Good thing was that I got in both the gym and a 4 mile walk today!

    Happy thanksgiving everyone!

    JFt, Thurs, 11/24
    1. log all food
    2. mindful eating
    3. don't stuff myself, but enjoy the day
    4. go for a walk

    ***************************
    5 pound challenge .. lost 5# by end of year! Weigh-ins
    Trying to weigh every saturday
    November 12: 205.0 ! Yikes. I knew I was up, because my jeans are once again tight. So my goal is to be back in onderland by January 1st!
    Nov 18: 207.2 --- the scale is going the wrong direction.. and when I look back, I know why.Its mindless eating of even "healthy" foods like raisins, banannas, nuts, etc. So, that must stop

    Happy Thanksgiving y’all! I have tons to be thankful for. Tim totaled his car yesterday. The other car rolled. Both of the drivers walked away unhurt. Then we went and bought him a new car. Blessed to be able to do that and beyond grateful that he’s ok.

    @pridesabtch Yikes, so glad that both drivers were unhurt! Yes, thankful for so many blessings.

    Yesterday being Thanksgiving Day (US), hubby & I were at my sister's with most of extended family. Safe travels by car to & fro, but 6 hours total = ugh! I did not take time for dog walk before we left town for the day. I tried to limit food portions and did really well limiting desserts. Had 2 glasses of wine, since it was hubby's turn to drive on our way home. All in all, a wonderful day. <3

    Tomorrow, we have another "Thanksgiving" celebration & meal at hubby's brother's with different extended family. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Will be less total car time at just under 2 hours, and maybe I'll do PT exercises before we go. Not logging food either of those days. No adult beverages tomorrow *sigh*.

    Didn't get on here last nite, but a busy day today. Dug out all 3 xmas trees.. all decorated, and other decorations all put up. The house is a mess.. so tomorrow will clean, but everything put in its place, and the leftover decorations put away. Feels good to have this done.
    Yesterday was thanksgiving, and our daughter came out.. it was very nice.
    But .. our son never called or anything. We tried to call him.. left him a message.. but he still did not call. It hurts .. he is so busy with his new wife and family.. just no time for us. I do worry about how happy he really is. His wife posted pictures on facebook of their thanksgiving, and she was not even standing near my son for the pictures.. she was standing next to her brother. My son just looked so unhappy.. and then I worry. While upset that he can't even call us, more worried about his happiness.
    Yesterday was also the 10th anniversary of my brother taking his life .. he committed suicide on thanksgiving day. Its a painful reminder every year.
    So kinda a downer yesterday, both for my husband and I.
    But .. we still have so very much to be thankful for, and will dwell on that, not the negatives.

    Goals for tomorrow, saturday, 11/26
    1. go to the gym
    2. log all food .. no matter what
    3. plan meals .. tomorrow nite, taco bake
    4. concentrate on water
    5. evening snack .. ONLY a apple, protein shake, or frozen grapes. NO NUTS OR RAISINS
    6. clean house
    7. laundry
    8. go for a walk.
    9. weigh in .. no matter what.


    ***************************
    5 pound challenge .. lost 5# by end of year! Weigh-ins
    Trying to weigh every saturday
    November 12: 205.0 ! Yikes. I knew I was up, because my jeans are once again tight. So my goal is to be back in onderland by January 1st!
    Nov 18: 207.2 --- the scale is going the wrong direction.. and when I look back, I know why.Its mindless eating of even "healthy" foods like raisins, banannas, nuts, etc. So, that must stop

    Happy Thanksgiving y’all! I have tons to be thankful for. Tim totaled his car yesterday. The other car rolled. Both of the drivers walked away unhurt. Then we went and bought him a new car. Blessed to be able to do that and beyond grateful that he’s ok.

    OMG ... I am so thankful also that no one was hurt. SO glad that Tim was OK .. life can change in a hurry for us, and thankful all is well. That is great you were able to replace the car, much to be thankful for this thanksgiving.

    @pridesabtch I'm so so so glad that no one was hurt. God I'm sure you've had a lot of crashes this year. Was your daughter in one too or am I thinking of someone else? Not to mention the deer!

    Still not got anywhere with exercise eating or logging. Still not even weighed in. Ash has been poorly with tonsillitis we think so he's bed bound at the moment. Marley and Saskia had nits last week and I've just bought another treatment for Casey and myself.
    Casey had them the worse. Which is weird because despite me checking and checking I didn't see not one in her hair but combed out loads.
    And I've been itchy as hell (but also have dandruff which I need to buy a stronger treatment for as shampoos aren't working) so I've just done my treatment which was hard because it's easier to do someone else. And my hairs thick and tangles if you so much as look at it. Anyway I've just spent about 45 minutes combing for literally ONE nit. Just one.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's just the one but what a waste of treatment! I had to use a whole bottle for my hair. Which can normally do 2 treatments. So atoeast I know my itchiness is definitely caused by the dandruff.

    So yeah. Other than trying to keep on top of the house whilst ash has been poorly, hoping to get back on it next week. Even if I'm not eating 100% healthy I'm gonna log.

    Don't know about anyone else but since it got much colder my eating habits changed drastically. Everything I was eating in summer I just don't fancy anymore. I want warm wintery foods. Which are generally higher in calories, so I'll just have to combat that with exercise
    I don't snack as much as I used to though.. atleast i don't think I do.


    Hope all my US friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving xxx

    Actually my husband has hit a deer a few months ago. He had just gotten it fixed a few weeks ago, then BAM!

    He isn’t very lucky when it comes to cars. Although, I think he tends to drive too fast, that wasn’t the case in his last accident.

    Goals for Monday
    - yoga
    - 40 oz of water
    - Log all food

    I haven’t done very well today, so I’m trying to make tomorrow a new start (another one…how many times have I said that before?).

    I had good intentions today but my messed-up digestive system had other plans. I thought things were getting better, but then a day like today happens and I lose hope that I’m ever going to find an answer as to what’s causing the problem. I’m only 31, and I’ve been dealing with these problems off and on since high school. I don’t want to live the rest of my life not knowing on a daily basis what my stomach is going to be able to handle. But at this point I’m scared that’s what’s going to happen.

    Maybe I’ll be in a better mood when I wake up tomorrow, but for tonight I’m going to escape into a fantasy book for a little while and try and get my mind in a better place.
