What’s got you down? You’ve got this! It’s often hard to jump back in full force. Maybe ease your way back with one habit at a time. Good luck!🍀

Win!About me: CarmelaWord for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

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.

- Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
- 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
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
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 done0 -

@pridesabtch - Happy Anniversary!
@cschmitz110515 Good decision to share the apple crisp. I'm sure your co-workers appreciated it
@clicketykeys - Sorry to hear you're feeling down. Maybe taking time for a little self-care will help you get back on track. Hugs.
Great to hear from @MrsHermit - What an adventure!
@TerriRichardson112 - There has been much to admire about your Queen Elizabeth II, not least her dignity and grace.
Welcome newbies! This is a wonderful, supportive group.
Early class this morning followed by errands, so it's a bit late to set goals. Maybe tomorrow?
After a month with us, my son and his partner left for their new apartment last night after a lovely celebratory meal. What a joy it's been to have so much time together!
It's been especially helpful to have him here to support our daughter as she struggles to come to terms with the end of her marriage (not her choice) and do what's best for her boys (who have not yet been told). Unfortunately, the aggressive stance taken by our soon-to-be-ex-son-in-law has dashed most hope of an amicable transition. Quite honestly, I'm at a loss to understand how someone we've always liked, respected, and supported could behave so unkindly. This is a man who less than three months ago sat in our yard laughing and having a beer with my husband. Earlier this summer, he went on vacation with our entire family where he played on the beach with the kids and posed for pictures with all of us. I would have expected him to behave with maturity and integrity. I won't go into detail, but he's got someone else in the wings and is trying to drastically minimize his financial commitment to his current family to set up his next one. My husband is furious. I still hold some hope that he'll come around and behave decently in the end. I've been trying to maintain a tone of civility and consideration with an eye to future interactions around the kids, but it's hard to see my daughter disrespected and hurt so badly. But she's stronger than she knows, taking great care of her boys and vowing not to let this make her bitter. Fortunately, she has a small army of family and friends to support her.
Sorry to be dropping all this here, but as you can imagine, it's been hard to focus on personal goals. I may not post every day, but knowing this group is here keeps me going.5 -

No idea what this work week will bring, but trying to get back on track, both physically and mentally.
Did my yoga. Got close on the water. Calories I know I at least got close - I didn’t do a great job logging today so I may have actually achieved it.
Sooooooo many meetings this week - 9 of them over the next four days. Looks like some overtime pay is coming my way because I still have to find time to get my actual job done. Hopefully the stress doesn’t make me fall off the wagon again in terms of my health goals.1 -
9/11/22
1. Pause and remember the day. ✔️
2. Weigh in ✔️
