    Quick check-in before a busy weekend to cap an extremely busy week packed with personal commitments and student conferences. I haven't been doing a great job with health goals. Terrible food choices. No real exercise. And I seriously need to straighten up the house! A wedding tonight and company tomorrow through Monday likely means more of the same. I'll enjoy the weekend, but I really need to get back on track next week. And hopefully I'll get caught up with reading posts then. In the meantime, positive energy and hugs for all you amazing JFTers <3

We are starting to wean off the percoset by lengthening the time between dosages. Finished all of the regular laundry yesterday, just delicates remaining and I’ve already started them.

    No really stuff today other than working from home and taking care of hubby. There is left over soup for lunch and I think I’m just doing pulled chicken, roasted broccoli and potatoes for dinner so that should be easy.

    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!

    Thank you to the people who reached out over the past couple days 😊 I’m seriously so glad I’ve found this little group on here. My head is in a much better place today. Guess I just pushed myself a little too hard and needed a break. Back to posting goals tomorrow - it’s after 5 pm so it’s a bit late for today. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Awhh that's how I felt when I found this group! Honestly they're like my online family❤️

    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:

    JFT Saturday:
    1) Although still on vacation, avoid eating anything and everything just because I can. Splurge on things I can't have regularly, but not those things I can have any other day
    2) Meal plan for the week
    3) Make grocery list and order online if possible
    4) Pre-track Sunday meals
    5) Make cycling plan for the week
    6) Erase 500 emails
    7) Call DJ for party/ rep to say thank you
    8) Figure out party goodie bags
    9) Plan smash cake outfit
    10) Pick up Target order
    11) Log back on here tomorrow


    (I how I did that semi- right lol)

    @pridesabtch Glad Tim is on the road to recovery. And in case I don't log into JFT tomorrow, sending you early wishes for a wonderful birthday! It is 10/9, right?

    JFT 10/8 Sat.
    1) Gas in car / farmers market / pick up birdseed order at Wildlife Sanctuary = done! :smiley:
    2) Walked dog 3.56 mi :sunglasses: happy dog & happy me
    3) Balance bank accts / update budget s/s = done :smiley:
    4) Grocery shopping
    5) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    6) Wash sheet pan / baked salmon & roasted brussels sprouts for supper / net calories zero / 64 oz. water
    7) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / PRAY / 6:00 alarm (women's choir sings, be at church 7:20 a.m.)
    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
    • 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

    @DianaGetsFit512
    Welcome.to the thread!!

    Your first post was perfect, although there's no right or wrong way of doing it I suppose!

    Just post daily goals (alot of the time these can be the same goals every day) and then when you log back on, quote your original post and let us know how you got on! If you need help, or advice on a particular issue you might be having or any tips and tricks you want to know or even share with us, then just say so, were just average people like you but we all have our different ways :)
