JFT Tues 25th

- Log ALL food ✔️ still got plenty of calories left
- 8 waters ❌ forgot to fill my bottle today oops! I've only had one water all day, how bad is that
- Go on my mini stepper ✔️ did 15 minutes, burning a whopping 85 calories 😂
- Kitchen closed at 9.30!✔️ It's half 9 now gonna have one last quick snack!

Had a good day, food shop comes early tomorrow at 8am. So I think I'm gonna get that in, get it put away and then walk the dog to get the day started!

My parents got his nails trimmed for me whilst they looked after him when I was away. They were embarrassingly long. And now I want to keep on top of that with regular walks. The person clipping them knew he didn't get walked much and I want to change that, it's not fair on Biggie!

Just one more goal for today and that's to charge my fitness watch for tomorrow

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 Weds 26 Oct.

First off, confession time, last night when I posted I said I closed the kitchen at 9.30.. which I did do. But I had two extra snacks in bed. Some cheese savouries and half a chocolate eclair. I was genuinely hungry, enough where I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep, and I didn't haven't anything healthier in 😂 so that's that..trying to stay accountable!! I have logged the snacks onto today's diary though.

Anyway, today..
- Log all food
- 8 waters
- Walk dog ✔️
- Stepper
- Close kitchen 9.30pm

Hope everyone has a good day! X

Okay so yesterday went awful.
It was going really really well until after dinner. I was super stressed from the kids and out of nowhere just wanted to binge eat. The urge was horrible and I ended eating 400 calories over my allowance. I wouldn't say I struggle with binge eating as an actual disorder, but yesterday deffo got the better of me
But I logged it all, staying accountable.

Going to try do better today! I need to be a bit more stricter on myself, I decided I wasn't gonna eat any junk food, but then I eat junk food. When I know deep down I don't want to. So I need to tell myself know. I don't let my kids snack on junk all day so why should I?

- Log all food and be within calories
- 8 waters
- walk dog
- close kitchen 9.30

cschmitz110515 · October 2022

JFT 10/27 R ~ Temp was below freezing overnight so I'm delaying dog walk until afternoon when temps should reach 50F.
1) Daily devotions with hubby

2) Move hourly / walk dog
3) P is treating me to dinner for belated bday/retirement get together ~ may eat (& drink) at Irish pub / net calories zero??? / > 64 oz. water
4) Boil eggs / bday card for Australian uncle / finish thank you to SW / email aunt J / write short letter to El / create account for UnitedHealth / another ta-da?
5) Floss / retainers / pray

Yesterday hubby & I used our new leaf blower in front yard & I'm so glad we did. Big piles of leaves waiting for city to pick up curbside. Lots more leaves fell overnight with freezing temp, and we haven't started the back yard yet. It's early days for leaf pick up, and we should have nice days ahead to rake & leaf blow. After working on yard, last night we went to a Nature of Light exhibit in nearby city, inside mansion turned art center & outdoors through extensive gardens. Lots of fun for hubby and me.

Sharing several views of our trees:

Front yard before leaf blowing. Autumn blaze maple was full & red several days ago. I love the gingko's gold leaves in fall.

Back yard. Some trees completely bare in less than one week!

More back yard. Plenty of leaves yet to fall. Crabapple tree nearly bare in foreground.

I love the bright red crabapples now more visible. We watch birds, squirrels, even chipmunks, eating them.

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 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 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

Today sucked. Doctors appointment took longer than expected, which led to multiple panic attacks about how far behind I am at work… which put me even farther behind because I couldn’t focus on anything. Anxiety then led to me grazing in the afternoon and way overdoing it on sugar, but at least I logged it and held myself accountable.

Too exhausted to do anything productive after work so my apartment is still a mess, and my sink is still full of dirty dishes. Didn’t have enough energy to write or look for a new job either, even though I feel like my current job is destroying my mental health. But I can’t afford to quit or take a break because it’s my only source of income.

Overall it’s just one of those days where I feel completely worthless. And venting to my family doesn’t work because they try to problem solve everything and I can’t make them understand that that only makes me feel worse.

Guess all I can do is take things one day at a time, even when it feels like no one has my back.

*Sigh* night time snacking is becoming an issue again. Why can I stop?! I can't remember what I've ate to log it, although I'll try (hence the ?) And I can't seem to get my waters in.
Not sure if it's because the kids are off school so I'm out of my usual routine. What's weird is that all day I do really well. Right up until their bedtime and then I just snack and snack and snack. I know I don't need them but I just want them.

@emgracewrites
Sorry to hear you had a rubbish day yesterday, I hate them sort of days, I understand how you feel and it does suck. And I know what you mean where you just want to vent not necessarily get advice.
And I'm sorry you feel worthless but I promise you that you're not. Even if you feel like that sometimes, this is always a safe place to vent and get it all off your chest.
I hope you have a better day today xx *sending virtual hugs!*
