    @mytime6630 Happy to see you post, Joan! I feel like you are the glue to keeping this group together. Congrats on hubby retiring, and you both slowing life down. I feel like that since I retired last month. I'm so happy to decide what to do each day. Surprisingly, to myself anyways, I'm posting regularly on JFT & MFP, just because I'm not on a work computer 40 hours a week, and I've got some new daily routines at home. I can putz on my home computer to my heart's content, in between my other stuff. I will keep you and your hubby in my prayers for no return of cancer.

    Recap 11/11 F ~ Thank you to all veterans!
    1) PT exercises :smiley: Yeah, my muscles let me know I need to be doing these more often.
    2) Move hourly :smiley: 8.2K 14 floors 13/14
    3) Make cream of leek soup for supper hubby & I opted for pizza instead / net calories zero / >64 oz. water :p net cals -441 (oops, some Halloween candy besides the pizza), sodium not great, excellent on fiber, protein, carbs & calcium, 72 oz. water
    4) Pre-treat/wash winter coats / wash dishes / take load to dry cleaners / another ta-da? requested appt. for hubby's 2023 health ins. TA-DA! :smiley: good day
    5) Floss / retainers / pray = x3 :smiley:

    JFT 11/12 Sat.
    1) Move hourly
    2) Make cream of leek soup for supper / net calories zero / >64 oz. water
    3) Declutter something / another ta-da?
    4) Floss / retainers / pray

    Waking up with sunrise & no alarm is wonderful! Temp 30F & wind chill 20 when I awoke, so decided no dog walk & taking a planned rest day. First rest day all week! Doesn't mean I'll be lazy the entire day, just no workout.

    About me:
    I'm 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 :)
    • 10.31.22 not pretty... I can't stand being this heavy 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

    This is ha.. another "start" for me. Old habits can come back so quickly if I am not careful.. which is what has happened.
    So, I am starting a FIVE POUND CHALLENGE from now until the rest of the year. Anyone in with me!!!
    Weigh-ins
    November 12: 205.0 ! Yikes. I knew I was up, because my jeans are once again tight. So my goal is to be back in onderland by January 1st!
    JFT, Saturday, 11/12
    1. log ALL my food
    2. mindful eating
    3. 5 pound challenge --- get that scale moving downward
    4. clean out my closet .. ha.. this may take me many days LOL!
    5. Plan meals ahead of time. Tonite, I have several options .. so will ask hubby what he wants. Ha .. he will say homemade pizza, and if he does, thats OK. I CAN eat just one piece if I make myself a huge salad to go with it.
    I know that no food is off limits. It is about habits. My habits over the past 4 months have gone back to mindless eating .. grabbing a handful of nuts whenever I walk by them, throwing a candy bar in the grocery cart (telling myself one will not hurt me), buying Peppermint Ice Cream .. because you know, its seasonal. Problem is I have bought 4 tubs already!
    So I am back at it, and starting my own 5 pound challenge. I would love anyone to join me!!
    This time of year is always hard for me with depression. My son said he would come home for thanksgiving, but we have not heard yet. He is so busy, I worry about him. With a new wife and her 3 children, her family, there just is never time for us. Its hard, but I have to accept it. He is a CEO for a large company, so financially he does well, but he travels all the time, and his time is so limited. So hubby says we should not pressure him... but its still hard. I miss him.
    So I need this challenge to keep me going!

    @mytime6630 - Good idea, and I'm sure people will want to do your challenge. Unfortunately for me I don't do well with challenges (I sort of rebel or something ;) ). But good news is that I have been losing again after a long set point. Nutritionist is really happy with it! So I will continue all the good things I've learned to do. I had almost given up on losing any more and I was just learning to accept where I was. You can do it!

    You are proving that consistency is so important .. even if we are not losing. You are keeping those good habits you have developed. I tend to give up too easily .. and then the old habits come back without me even realizing it!

    My focus this week is consistency. Nutritionist says I’m not pushing myself hard enough and I can’t really argue with her. Parents say they’re worried about me and I can’t argue with them either (even though it hurts to hear that they’re not even acknowledging the fact that I’m trying).

    So yeah, I need to be more consistent with my eating choices.

    Goals for 11/13
    - 40 oz of water
    - log all food
    - Strength workout
    - Yoga

    @mytime6630
    Go on then! I'm with you on the challenge. But starting tomorrow 😂
    I'll weigh myself in and get cracking!
    Feel like I need this too just to jumpstart things!
    I was doing really well, walking the dog daily, being within my calories etc. Still eating a bit of junk but it fit in!
    But starting last Saturday Casey got sick
    Then the dog got sick which was worse that the kids being sick omg. Then Marley got sick. And ash is always sick with various ailments or just his general mental health then lo and behold I got sick. Which was inevitable, it always happens when I get run down from doing it all for everyone else.

    Up to now I still can't walk the dog. We've been feeding him plain chicken and rice the last few days to bung him up and it's worked but to an extent. It's not watery diarrhea anymore but still very much on the soft side. So he's on the mend but it's taking longer than I expected.

    So now I wanna do it for me and get my health back on track!!

    Wish you all the best with the challenge!

    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

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

    About me:
    I'm 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 :)
    • 10.31.22 not pretty... I can't stand being this heavy 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

    Late posting today .. so just a few goals left.
    leftovers tonite .. had 2 piecs pizza for lunch. so eat lite

    do not snack tonite! Last nite was hard.. but I also realized the bad habits I had developed over the past 6 months. I was upset with my daughter .. not really upset, just very worried, and the first thing I started to do was go and grab a handful of cashews. I stopped myself.
    then our son called. they can't come for thanksgiving, but they are coming dec 16th. But I can't explain why.. but I got off the phone.. and out I go to grab something to eat. Ha.. mindlessly!! So tonite, I have my water next to me... and a list of what I can snack on: Frozen grapes!
    Being mindful is step 1
