    @pridesabtch - I’ll certainly pray for your family. It’s so hard watching our children struggle no matter how old they are.

    @mytime6630 - I think writing it down will help. I may copy you again.
    If I quit buying the junk I wouldn’t have it here to eat. I think that needs to be my first step.

    @mytime6630 I have had to put things like nuts in a sealed container on a high shelf in my cupboard to make it impossible to grab a few. If I want nuts now, I have to get out my stepstool, and take the nuts out of a sealed container.

    Celebrated DED’s birthday over the weekend, and managed not to bounce up in weight the way I used to. My strategy of dropping down a bit before a celebration is working so far.

    No rest for the wicked!!! 😝

    I missed 2 days again in posting goals... but I am telling myself again the 20/80 plan.. that if I am not perfect everyday... keep going. If I can get on here 20% of the time.. that is still better than giving up.
    All day yesterday I could not reach my daughter. She gets even more depressed during the holidays, and her doctor has been adjusting her meds.. so it has been a concern. Saturday she came out, and was just sobbing in the bedroom. When I ask her what is wrong, she just tells me nothing. So when I could not reach her all day, I worry. Her car was gone.. and we didn't know where she is. As a mom.. I tend to think the worse... so by evening, I was all worked up and worried. She came out about 8 pm, and said she was ok... and she did seem better. (as my hubby says.. I worry way too much!) For her, each day is different. But when she left, again.. I mindlessly grabbed cashews and raisins. I tell myself this is a healthy snack.. but these kinds of mindless snacks are what is causing me to gain weight. I don't even know why I grabbed them.. just did.
    So while laying in bed... I decided I was going to join Weight Watchers again today. I had lost 38 pounds in 2018 .. and reached my goal weight of 175 .. kept it off until 2020 when the pandemic was worse, and have been gaining again. I now have 25 pounds to lose. But.. I got online, saw it was $30 a month .. and that is online only.. no meetings. I could use that money for so many other things .. and I know what to do! I know why I am gaining weight .. its the mindless eating. I have MFP to log my food online! I have friends here.. so I decided to NOT join, use this platform, and vow to do better.
    I like what @morefreegies said .. to set small goals.
    So I got out a "new" 3 ring notebook... and will record what I eat in writing (in addition to here). And hoping this sets my brain into starting something new and different and I will be more committed. Its like @Bex said .. when I first started these threads in 2017 we were all so excited.. and motivation was easy. For some reason, it seems harder. So I needed something totally different .. ha.. as if writing it with a pen will help.. but I'm hoping it will. In fact, I WILL make it work.
    My AIC is getting close to prediabetic, so my goal is to lose weight before May, when we have our yearly physical. So why not start now, instead of waiting until January like I always do.
    So, my goals for the rest of today are just one thing
    ONLY 1Snack tonite (If I need a snack), and that snack will be a apple, protein shake, or frozen grapes.
    No nuts .. no cheese .. no raisins
    Goals for Tomorrow, 11/22
    1. log all my food .. both here and in my notebook
    2. go to the gym
    3. concentrate on water
    4. pin xmas quilt
    5. evening snack .. ONLY a apple, protein shake OR frozen grapes. NO nuts, cheese, or raisins!
    ***************************
    5 pound challenge .. lost 5# by end of year! Weigh-ins
    Trying to weigh every saturday
    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!
    Nov 18: 207.2 --- the scale is going the wrong direction.. and when I look back, I know why.Its mindless eating of even "healthy" foods like raisins, banannas, nuts, etc. So, that must stop

    I agree with what you're saying, $30 to lose weight! And you could use the money on so many other things xxx maybe you could think back and just try use the tools they taught you to help you now x

    ONLY 1Snack tonite (If I need a snack), and that snack will be a apple, protein shake, or frozen grapes.
    No nuts .. no cheese .. no raisins :):) I had a apple... and that was it! Went to bed, and I felt SO hungry... which I knew was just habit because I had a decent dinner.
    Funny how in the mornings, I am never hungry until around 11am. Even when going to bed I felt hungry... shows me it is all habit!
    Goals for Tomorrow, 11/22
    1. log all my food .. both here and in my notebook :)
    2. go to the gym :s Yesterday I fell (was standing on boxes to smash them for recycling .. fell and hurt my wrist. I was swollen last nite, so skipped the gym. But .. its better today ... so after posting here I am heading out for a 3 mile walk. Yes its dark.. but our subdivision is well lite and many other walkers are always out.
    3. concentrate on water :)
    4. pin xmas quilt :) Just barely got started, but will finish tonite
    5. evening snack .. ONLY a apple, protein shake OR frozen grapes. NO nuts, cheese, or raisins! This is yet to be determined, but since my calories are OK for the day, but I am very light on protein.. snack will be a protein shake. No nuts!

    Goals for Wednes, 11/23
    1. log all food
    2. concentrate on water
    3. go to gym or walk
    4. clean house
    5. laundry
    6. prep for thanksgiving .. pumpkin pie, prep brocolli casserole, make ambrosia fruite salad, make pistachio salad
    7. Only ONE snack in the evening .. protein shake, apple, or frozen grapes.

    Well the weight went the wrong direction, I know that it’s the chips I ate yesterday though.

    @TerriRichardson112 - I used to only buy pop or chips if I was willing to leave the house to get it and then only a small bag or can. I need to get back into that habit again.

    @clicketykeys - you still have a lot on your plate. :)

    I’m piecing another stocking tonight. Was hoping to piece 3, but my imagination went a little nuts.

    @Snowflake1968 I *do*! We're off this week and I've put in some hours at the Y and the library and we've made a trip to the used bookstore and the theater but I haven't been to the zoo or written any voter-info postcards and now there's more laundry to do but I can't get that started before it's time to head to orientation at Rock City because I just touched up my nails and I have to wait for those to dry...

    Like. It's still on this side of manageable, but just barely! :D

    (Also, minor grumpy note: how is it that the used bookstore had like half a dozen copies EACH of Dragonsinger and Dragondrums, but NONE of Dragonsong, which is the first book in the trilogy and the one we don't actually have a copy of?!!)

    Have been keeping plenty busy, and not much computer time. At least I'm logging food & exercise on MFP using my Android phone. But I really hate updating JFT on my phone.

    JFT 11/23 W
    1) Walked dog 3.82 mi with mild temp (near average finally), no wind (yay) & sunny skies :sunglasses: happy dog & happy me
    2) Move hourly
    3) Salmon & beets for supper / net calories zero / >64 oz. water
    4) Errands done / emails done / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?
    5) 7:00 church service / floss / retainers / pray


    5# Challenge ~ using my Sat. w-i
    Nov. 12 = 175.5

    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

    Goals for Wednes, 11/23
    1. log all food :)
    2. concentrate on water :)
    3. go to gym or walk :) Did both gym in the morning, then got in a 3 mile walk .. 61 degrees out today!
    4. clean house :)
    5. laundry :)
    6. prep for thanksgiving .. pumpkin pie, prep brocolli casserole, make ambrosia fruite salad, make pistachio salad :)
    7. Only ONE snack in the evening .. protein shake, apple, or frozen grapes. >:) I made some homemade cinnamon muffins .. all using low calorie ingredients, so they were low calorie. Only problem is that tonite I ate THREE of these .. adding about 500 more calories to a day where already I was over because of sampling salads, and having bratwurst.
    But ... I will be accountable, and log everything, and do better tomorrow.
    Good thing was that I got in both the gym and a 4 mile walk today!

    Happy thanksgiving everyone!

    JFt, Thurs, 11/24

    Happy Thanksgiving y’all! I have tons to be thankful for. Tim totaled his car yesterday. The other car rolled. Both of the drivers walked away unhurt. Then we went and bought him a new car. Blessed to be able to do that and beyond grateful that he’s ok.
