    Whirl wind week and it's only Tuesday... Was feeling poorly over the weekend, but still managed some home improvement projects. Of course, my diet was awful. I didn't eat that much, but what I did eat wasn't the most nutritious. Yesterday I had to take mom to the doctor, get blood work, go to work, teach a spin class and help defrost a freezer so we have room for a turkey or 2... I was not looking forward to teaching spin last night, but I'm so glad I did. I always feel better after I go. I need to do it more often! Also got my blood work back yesterday, everything was spot on except my cholesterol which was sky high. Gotta work on that...

    Feeling appreciated at work. Got another $1000 bonus for a job well done. I've never gotten random bonuses before, it's kind of nice. I bought a new chair for the living room with it, well that and paid off hubby's Christmas/Birthday present.

    Had a 7:00am meeting today, followed by visitors from corporate (global). They will be here today and tomorrow, so I had to do a little dog and pony show this morning. Even fixed my hair and put on makeup. Will go out to dinner with them this evening. Makes for a long day, but the dinners are usually good.

    2) Move hourly :smiley: 16.1K 28 floors 10/14
    3) Not sure about supper = leftovers / net calories zero / >64 oz. water :) Net cals -117, sodium -233, fiber carbs calcium excellent, protein low-ish, 72 oz. water
    4) Set up appt for hubby's health ins. next year ~ Dec. 8 / GBBG members tour of holiday lights ~ be there early b/c starts 4:00 ~ so fun! / order Thanksgiving bread / declutter ~ digital / another ta-da
    5) Floss / retainers / pray = x3 :smiley:

    JFT 11/15 T ~ snow showers today, snow on grass but roadways are just wet, not frozen
    1) Move hourly
    2) Walk dog
    3) Make shepherd's pie for supper / net calories zero / >64 oz. water
    4) Wash dishes / funeral home 4-7 / mail TY & birdseed order / another ta-da
    5) Floss / retainers / pray

    The 5# challenge is keeping me more aware of what I put in my mouth. Don't know why that should matter, but whatever works, I guess. hahaha

    So many deaths recently. Not of anyone close to me, but people that have been in my life or the life of someone in my life. High school classmate, who was married to his H.S. sweetheart, another classmate. I wasn't in their social group, but in school, everybody knew each other. Unexpected loss of adult daughter of couple I support in mission work. Father of a friend. Today I go to the visitation of a former fellow civic organization member, only 61. For years, we both volunteered in the holiday parade staging area. I guess when we reach a certain age, we know more people to lose.

    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

    Well it's 7:30 and I've already missed one meeting. I woke up in plenty of time today, but didn't remember until 6:42 that I had a 7:00am in person meeting global meeting. I rushed around like a chicken with my head cut off to get here in time. I showed up to the room at 7:02 with yesterday's makeup on and the door was closed with a note not to enter after 7:00. Damn, damn, damn so I went back to my office and tried to join on Teams, but it wouldn't connect. So I rushed for zero reason. Oh well, not the first meeting I've missed. But it is the first globally broadcast from our conference room that I've been late to.

    Dinner last night was fun. I did have 3 drinks instead of 2, but it was ok. I ate pizza which was yummy. Then I went home and crashed on the couch with the dog while hubby watched basketball.

    Not sure what the day holds other than work stuff. We may or may not play trivia this evening.

    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

    Well done for resisting! It's so hard but I hope you feel proud of yourself. Maybe put a sticky note on your snack cupboard saying "is it an emotion snack or genuine snack?" Just to keep reminding yourself!

    Remember to weigh myself tomorrow morning! Freezing cold here & brain subconciously would rather not let body get out of nice, snug bed to strip off to get weighed every day! Argh! need to get a grip!

    Late posting today, doing it for my accountability.

    Recap 11/15 T ~ snow showers today, snow on grass but roadways are just wet, not frozen
    1) Move hourly :smiley: 15K 31 floors 10/14
    2) Walk dog :smiley: 4.67 mi = happy dog & happy me
    3) Make shepherd's pie for supper ~ yum! / net calories zero / >64 oz. water :smiley: Net cals green 86, sodium green yay, fiber, protein, carbs & calcium all excellent yay, 80 oz. water
    4) Wash dishes / funeral home 4-7 / mail TY & birdseed order / another ta-da ~ yep TA-DA! :)
    5) Floss / retainers / pray = x3 :smiley:

    JFT 11/16 W
    1) PT exercises :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / >7,500 steps
    3) Leftovers for supper / net calories zero / > 64 oz. water
    4) Floss / retainers / pray

    Overnight, wet snow on roads froze, so I decided no dog walk today. With a little sun today, and temps up to freezing (32F), roads appear to be clear for future dog walks. Yesterday's walk with dog ended with both her and me a bit wet on the outside. Trees were beautiful, though. Sharing several pics.

    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

    Hello there.
    I have fallen so far behind and off track. The last time I logged into this group was August.
    I don’t know why I do this, I know how important this group is and the accountability it provides.
    I’ve missed you all.

    I’m going to start small

    I've been doing so much better with just watching what I eat.. but tonite again... stressed out, mindlessly grabbed a poptart. But .. the good news is that as I am unwrapping it... I thought .. NO.. I am not hungry. I had a good dinner. This is what I need to do more often ... get rid of those old habits that so quickly take over.
    Hubby had his PSA test tonite... so anxious to hear the results.. so I know that was part of the mindless eating. .. and eating that poptart would not help to relieve the anxiety we both have while we wait for the results to see if the cancer is back. But ... sewing helps! So ... off to sew!
    JFT, friday
    1. go to the gym
    2. log my food
    3. mindful eating ... wait 5 minutes
    4. brush my teeth after dinner .. I am not hungry. Do not use food to help with anxiety ..sew instead!
    5.

    We have all missed you So much!! Happy to see you back. I, like you, have really fallen behind, and old habits are back. So like you, I am starting small, with my own personal challenge to try and lose 5# before the end of the year .. or just maintain. My weight has crept up so badly.
    welcome back.... love to see you back with us!

    @cschmitz love the snow pictures! We are also having snow ... and temps about 15-20 degrees below normal! I miss the sunshine though ... for me, that is the hardest with the winter months. I can handle the cold much easier than I can the cloudy dreary days!
    But ... the pictures are beautiful.. thanks for sharing
