    @PackerFanInGB
    Has anyone heard from Snowflake (Tracey)? I hope she's doing well! Funny how we can worry and wonder about people we've not met in person, isn't it? The magic of the internet.... 

    I noticed her posting in another group yesterday that she was very busy

    Good to know! Thank you Terri!

    @emgracewrites & @clicketykeys (((Hugs))) to you both!

    @more_freggies76 Look at all those green tickmarks! Yay!

    Recap 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 :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / walk dog :sunglasses: 3.88 mi with dog on sunny afternoon = happy dog & happy me 13.1K 25 floors 11/14
    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 :) at least I drank my water 72oz.
    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? balanced bank accts, updated budget s/s, updated xfer series TA-DA!
    5) Floss / retainers / pray = 2/3 :neutral:

    JFT 10/28 F
    1) Walked dog 4.01 mi :sunglasses: happy dog & happy me
    2) Move hourly
    3) Turkey ole for supper (ever since hubby mentioned it, I've been wanting it) / net calories zero / > 64 oz. water
    4) Grocery shop / prep 2 bday cards & sympathy card to mail Sat. after farmers market / finish thank you to SW / email aunt J / write short letter to El / create account for UnitedHealth / repair bird feeder with hubby's help / wash dishes / any fall yardwork? / other ta-da?
    5) Floss / retainers / pray / alarm 7:30 (farmers market, Post Office, gas in car)

    Last night, I chose a restaurant, even looked online at the menu, for my bday/retirement dinner with P. We got there & found it had gone out of business. Door had sign announcing "coming soon" for completely new restaurant. P & I discussed options, but we had limited choices for variety of reasons. So we crossed the river again, with plans for one place, then saw another place nearby we decided to try. At the door, due to limited hours, it had closed an hour before. Geez. Walking on to next place, we had to pass pub & grill, and decided to eat there instead. Not my idea to eat pub food for this dinner, but menu had a variety of choices & the food was good. I limited myself to 1 adult beverage plus had 1 water. No clue how to log for food diary so no attempt. We did have a fun evening, any time we're together we make the best of things.


    About me:
    I am Carmela
    Height 5'4"

    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 ~

    • 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

    Hi everyone! Happy Friday!

    My husband and I have been sick since last week with some sort of upper respiratory infection. We both went to Urgent Care on Saturday and have been on antibiotics since then, but neither of us feels any better. There are a lot of viruses going around so it could be any number of things, and I guess we just have to ride it out. I've not done anything to speak of all week. Some days just laying down all day and binging Netflix. It's getting old and my brain is so bored, but my body is screaming to rest. So rest it is! Any tips on how to make my face, especially my teeth, stop hurting would be greatly appreciated! 😷🤒🤕🤢🤧

    While being so sedentary this week, I've done some soul searching on my lack of progress toward losing weight and living healthier. I have a tendency to be an emotional eater...any emotion...sad, bored, irritated, happy. And I never think to myself, I'm feeling so sad that I just have to make myself a salad. Oh no. It's always straight to the junk food drawer for me...Lays potato chips being my latest love. @pridesabtch mentioned how food is fuel, and I needed to read that today. It is fuel. Food is not entertainment. We use it as the focus of entertainment, but its true function is to fuel our bodies. I hear that over and over again on the No BS podcast, but I guess I needed to read it again today as a reminder. I also have to remind myself that I'm working toward PROGRESS! not Perfection! Nobody is perfect...I will never be perfect at this...I just need to see where I can do a little better today. A level up. What can I do today that will move me forward toward my goals? What one thing can I do differently today that will help me kick this virus a little sooner? What one thing.... Can I just..... I can eat this, or I could....

    So, it's a brand new day! Today, my level ups will be drinking one more cup of water than I did yesterday and logging my food.

    @cschmitz110515 Isn't it crazy how quickly the leaves fell from the trees? I was still seeing green leaves across the street and all of a sudden the colors changed and down they came. My hubby is at my mom's right now blowing leaves to the curb. Got a bit of a late start, so he missed the city pickup. But like you said, it's a bit early and there will be plenty more piles to add to it I'm sure. Pretty photos of your yard! It sounds like you are enjoying retirement so far! I'm happy for you! :smile:

    JFT Friday, 28 Oct
    • 24H Plan
    • Log food and close food diary at end of day
    • Drink at least 48 oz of water/hot herbal tea/decaf fluids....working up to consistent 64 oz per day.
    • 30 minutes of activity...close that ring on my watch today. Even if it is in 5 minute increments throughout the day. GET OFF THE COUCH!
    • To-Do's (Pick any): Laundry, bedroom, wooden floors, dust. Ta-da's?
    • Self-Care 30 min (Pick any): Journal. Podcasts. Gentle Chair Yoga. Lymphedema massage right arm. Tai Chi. Inspirational Readings. Simple Abundance. Calm app.
    • Evening Routine

    @PackerFanInGB - About the blogs, when I go to my blog there's a banner at the top saying that MFP is going to eliminate blogs.

    Hour commitment - After I finish my walnuts, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.

    @PackerFanInGB Sorry to hear you were unwell and had to go to Urgent care, I hope you're starting to feel better!

    I like that. Food is fuel and not entertainment. Need to remember that one!

    I'm interested in what you binged on Netflix. Me and ash have just finished the Dahmer series, which was disturbing to say the least, but a good watch! I wanna watch the next series of Fate: The Winx Saga but ash doesn't like it 😂

    About me:
    I am 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

    I need to hop back on the wagon with mini meals and reasonable dinners. This month was horrible and we are heading into the holidays. Gotta get my act together so I can wear something cute for New Year's Eve. Ok, chances of us doing anything are slim, but you never know.

    Last week was the big ISO 9001/ IATF 16949 audit by DQS. It was a ton of work, but we got it done and were successful. My stress level is significantly reduced this week.

    The weekend was mostly family stuff. Had another baby shower for my niece this past weekend, just close family. It was really low key and nice.

    Today I'm working on FAFSA for Vanessa. It is a colossal waste of time. Tim and I make enough that we won't qualify for any aid other than academic scholarships, but you have to fill it out and it takes forever. I went as far as I could without the tax records from 2021. Waiting for hubby to get me those numbers.

    Anyway, Trick or Treat is tonight. Haven't decided if I'm going to dress up or not. Heck at this point, I'm not sure I'll stay awake long enough to give out candy. I'm pooped. V told me at 8:00pm yesterday that she needed a cake for the group Alice in Wonderland costume. The are doing the tea party. She is a cute dormouse. Anyway, I didn't finish the cake until nearly midnight and I woke up around 4:00am, and couldn't go back to sleep. Boy did I try... I laid there until 7:15 trying to decide whether or not I was going to go to work or call off. I decided to come in, yuck.

    JFT Goals
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Meetings until 9:00 :smiley:
    - Issue a SCAR :smiley:
    - Do a practice vs procedure audit
    - Mini Meals
    - Healthy Dinner
    - Dress up (or not)
    - Give out candy
    - Bed by 10:00pm
