    My eating choices were so bad today. Under-ate by a lot, and most of it was junk food. Didn’t drink anywhere near enough water. It’s like I gave up before the day even started.

    So my only goal for tomorrow is to do better than I did today.

    @pridesabtch - I think what you wrote, so many of us can relate. When I joined weight watchers I was that way .. all or nothing. So I gave it my all .... hardly ever going off track. Even if hubby wanted to eat out, I would tell him no, we had to eat at home because I was afraid I would make a wrong choice, or would not know how many calories.
    then covid came ... and I gained 20 back of the 40 I had lost. And to this day, I am still struggling. I will do great all day long, but all it takes for me is eating ONE thing I should not have, and I am off, and continue to just eat because heck, I blew it anyhow.
    You should be very proud of yourself for losing that 40 pounds, that is awesome. But I do know that severe restrictions only leads to gaining it all back (I know, because I've done it myself so many times). It takes time to learn to change our lifestyle.. to tell ourselves that the one piece of cake is ok, or the bite is ok. It does not have to be all or nothing. You can do it ... I know you can! And so can I.. I just have to get that mindset back. Right now, I am so off track its so hard to get back started again, but I have done it before .. I know I can to! Best of luck to you... and give yourself a big hug and pat on the back for recognizing these patterns.

    i think that we all have a tendency to be too hard on ourselves, setting too many burdensome goals at once.

    It’s a difficult path we tread on our quest for better health and fitness. It’s only natural that we occasionally stumble.

    When this happens, we pick ourselves up and start over. We keep on striving for improvement. This is the true meaning of success.

    Strive for progress!

    JFT 10/24 M ~ Rainy start to day but sun now making its appearance / enjoy last day of mild temps for time of year
    1) Breakfast, then coffee with hubby & SIL who stopped over for short visit, followed by daily devotions with hubby :)
    2) Move hourly / walk dog
    3) Net calories zero / > 64 oz. water
    4) Wash dishes / more rain water jugs to basement / call Thrivent / another ta-da?
    5) Call mom & dad / bday card for Australian uncle / write thank you to SW / write short letter to El /
    6) Floss / retainers / pray

    Had a busy weekend: Sat. farmers market & traveled to spend time with extended family, since niece was in town on break from law school in Boston. Sunday started with church, then watched some football & more fall yardwork. Hubby and I are enjoying that we can do as much yardwork each day as we wish, knowing we can do more the next day, and not have to wait for the weekend. Taking chores at a slower pace is heaven!

    About me:
    My name is 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)
    • 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

    Woke up at 4:30 this morning. Tried to go back to sleep until 5:00. Finally decided to get up and get ready for work. Of course, I was locked out of my office when I got here. Nothing good happens before 6:00am...

    It's a big audit week here and I'm front & center starting tomorrow. I'm trying to be calm and confident, but I'm an anxious mess inside.

    Goals
    - Work by 8:00 yep
    - Audit prep / audit
    - eat
    - log
    - no alcohol
    - Bed by 11:00

    Short list today

    Our leaf blower had died late last fall & hubby, who is very mechanically inclined, hoped he would be able to get it running again. We rake too, but need a leaf blower, b/c we have 10 mature trees in our yard. Yesterday hubby tinkered lots, but to no avail. Hubby had mowed last Friday, and since then, leaves have completely covered the lawn in back and most of the front. We will be unexpectedly shopping for a new leaf blower this afternoon.

    About me:
    My name is 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)
    • 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
