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!
- 11.30.22 Thanksgiving foods put me up
- Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
- 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
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 done2 -

Oh ... what giving does to help anyone that is having a difficult time with the holidays .. it is the best gift you can give to yourself.
I have pictures in the spoiler.
Oh my goodness Joan!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE QUILT TOPS! I've been thinking of doing something similar. Christmas has lost a bit of its sparkle for me now that there are no little ones, although we still have a large family gathering. I can no longer afford to buy gifts for everyone, which I think is part of the sadness, but I would love to make each of the adults a lap quilt as a gift. My goal is to have enough to give next year all at once also!
I love the patterns you used too! So pretty.
I know this is a hard time of year for you, so I'm really happy to see you found something that brings you such joy. Thank you for sharing the photos! It brought me joy to see them. :flowerforyou:

I joined this post in 2017 and I'm still here! I tend to be a bit on and off lately but this is the place I always come.
It helps me to be more accountable and more mindful. Setting smaller goals. I find it a great, non judgemental support network and Im happy to say that over the years quite a few people on here have become friends despite us being on other sides of the pond!
If I'm having a rubbish time these guys lift me up.
I've been here with Bex and mytime6630 and many others since 2017 also! I go MIA now and again, but I have found this group to be like "friends" I've just not met in person.

That is so exciting! You should be a very happy author. Very cool! What kind of books do you write?1 -
@PackerFanInGB Thanks Tracy! These are all free patterns to (except for the xmas trees). I have about 10 more free patterns to try, and the best part is that I've not had to buy much to make them! I buy really inexpensive batting from walmart, because I figured these would not be used as much.
But like you, we are not buying anyone any gifts this year.Our grandchildren are all older .. 22, 18,17, 16, and 14. I know what to get the 16 year old because he's a big KC CHiefs fan, but we have no idea what to get the others.So hubby wants to just do money. Last year we did money, but I made them all a simple fleece blanket, plus found a couple little gifts. But I don't even know if they kept any. We just arn't around them enough to know their interests at that age!. And we won't be seeing them over the holidays ... our 16 yr old can't get off work, and hubby does not want to make the 8+ hr drive to Michigan. But we will hopefully see them in January.
@cschmitz110515 - you were asking about the one quilt.That pattern is called Chandelier. I think that is my favorite one also. My SIL asked to see pictures, and she asked if she could have that one. I told her not this year (because I wanted that one to put on our couch), but next year I'll probably make several using that pattern.3 -
I was sure I posted goals for sunday .. guess not!
So posting them for tomorrow..
JFT, Monday, 12/5
1. weigh .. no matter what
2. log all food
3. concentrate on water
4. watch evening snacking -- Goal is no snack at all for at least 4x this week
***************************
5 pound challenge .. lost 5# by end of year! Weigh-insTrying 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
Nov 26: 208. going in the wrong direction... back to starting weight ... but tomorrow is a new day. too much overeating for thanksgiving, so hoping for a loss next week.
Dec 3: 205.0... back where I started almost 3 weeks ago... not being too successful so far. But my downfall is still evening snacking, and not enough water. Goals for next week: 4 out of 5 nites no snacks, aim for 6+ water each day.

Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow.1

🐳🐬🐙🐬🐳🐬🐙🐬🐳
🐳🐬DECEMBER 2022🐬🐳
🐳🐬🐙🐬🐳🐬🐙🐬🐳
It’s inspiring to see
the effort been made
to combat the temptations
of the festive season.
I am fortunate that UK
don’t have the double whammy
of 2 celebrations at
the end of each year.
• November was a good month for me, and I achieved my goal of dropping a couple of lbs in anticipation of moderate indulgences over the festive season.
• I am continuing with my present routine in December.
Focus for December:
• Enjoy moderate treats, while staying under calorie goal
• Exercise to augment calories available
• Adhere to Daily Solid Habits
Eat under goal!
🥗🥗🥗🥗
Visited DED yesterday. She had made wholewheat apple and cinnamon pancakes. I had reduced the carbs in my breakfast and lunch in anticipation of the visit as she enjoys baking for us.
Active hours > 6 [/color]
💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
Current Solid Habits
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The festive season was always a minefield for me. It’s taken 7 difficult years and much soul-searching to change my previous habits to ones which are more advantageous to health and fitness.
I am worth the effort. And the payoffs are significant.
You are worth the effort!!!

JFT Sunday
Stay green
Smile more
Not sure if I stayed green or not, but I was close. Depends on how many calories are really in cheese curds. I was doing really well at the bar watching football with hubby. I opted for grilled chicken with celery and carrots instead of fries and diet soda instead of beer. This was good for about 2.5 hours, but I started getting cold and hungry. Tried to order a coffee, but they don't serve coffee there. I wanted something hot and ended up with deep fried cheesy goodness. I ate more than I should have while they were warm, and a few more after because they were sitting there in front of me. Doesn't the waiter know when you push the tray to the other end of the table they should make it go away? Well in his defense we had been there a while and it was possible we were saving them for later. Anyway, my weight was up today, but I'm not surprised with the amount of sodium I had yesterday, and how little water I drank.
Had to come into work crazy early this morning to catch shift change. Got here at 5:40am, ugh. To say I did very little to get ready is a bit of an understatement. I did brush my teeth and hair & put on deodorant but that is pretty much it. I'm not even sure I washed my face this morning. Did not sleep well last night. Fell asleep on the couch with the dog, which is normal. Then I woke up around 1:30am. Then the dog woke up around 2:00am and needed to go out because he didn't go out before we went to bed. Usually, hubby wakes us both up when he goes to bed. He takes the dog out, then the dog stays downstairs the rest of the night and I go to bed. That didn't happen. After letting the dog out, I went to sleep in the bed, but could NOT get back to sleep. I was playing the "If I go to sleep right now, I'll get X hours of sleep" game. I went back out to the couch as it's often easier to get to sleep out there without hubby holding me. I went to sleep, but woke up every half hour checking my watch. Zero quality sleep after 1:30am. Alarm was scheduled to go off at 5:00, but I was already awake. Very sleepy, but awake. Laid there for 10 more minutes and finally got up. Today will be a loooong day.
I have things to do at work, but a lot of it is dependent upon others doing their jobs first, so it will be slow going. Nothing really planned after work today. Maybe I'll bake. My Bible Study Group is cooking for a single mothers group that meets at the church on Thursday evenings. It's too early to make soup, but peanut butter blossoms will keep well until then. That and the rest of the week is rather full in the evenings. I teach spin tomorrow, Wednesday is trivia, Thursday is Young Mothers, Friday there is something, Saturday is Sunday School party, and Sunday after church we are celebrating a friends 50th birthday. There will be a lot of folks, including Tim and I turning 50 in the next year.

Along with the 6 adult kids and their wife/husband. Plus my parents... That's 35 people to buy for! It's just too much for us to be able to buy gifts for everyone now that we are on fixed incomes. It really has me feeling overwhelmed. I think that's the hardest part for me about Christmas now....I can't spoil the kids like I used to. But they are all old enough to understand that money does not grow on trees now too and we try to spoil them with all the food and goodies we set out at the celebration instead.
So, I think my goal will be a lap quilt for everyone next year too. It's such a great idea!
I like the Chandelier pattern best also! I'm going to search Google the pattern! I also really love the one right before it, with the white "stars". You've inspired me for next year! Thank you!

Good morning! Getting a late start on posting goals but want to be accountable. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Just for Today- Create 24H Goal and assess yesterday's
- Drink 64 oz water
- Dr Appointment - not looking forward to it. This will be an emotional appointment which triggers me to grab *kitten* eat.
- Walk outside and get some fresh air.
- Hy-Vee or Target run for a few ingredients.
That's it for today. I'm getting over a cold/virus bug and just don't quite feel good yet.
