    @MLHC1 and @pridesabtch

    I too am not comfortable with someone touching me...
    You could always ask your husband to do it for you ;)

    Although, if they're anything like Ash it will feel like an eagles talons digging in as if they're trying to take you back to the nest lmao!
    So maybe stick to the professionals.

    The only massage I had professionally was on my neck as physiotherapy following a minor car crash.
    And I went to a baby group when Saskia was born which was specifically for people with postnatal depression and once they got a massager to come in to do either our hands or feet.
    I was thinking I am NOT getting my feet out haha so i had a hand massage. It was very nice to be fair

    Hour commitment - Had my early lunch. About to start back-to-back meetings. Now I won't eat again until after 5 pm except my dose of metamusal. None of the same types of food at dinner as at lunch.

    Chaotic morning calming down, finally time to post JFT.

    Recap W 2/16
    1) PT exercises & some hand weights before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly (limit stairs) :) 7.5K 15 floors 14/14 boom!
    3) Net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water :) ate decent for day, no evening snacks -313, sodium pretty good, fiber ok, protein & calcium excellent, 96 oz.
    4) Title 31 F&Ds / 1:30 staff meeting (Teams) ~ First meeting in forever, went waaay long. sigh / email catch-up again not worse = 2.5/3
    5) Fill & run dishwasher / wash comforter (Kitty hairball mess lol) / finalize & print tax s/s / declutter 15 min. / prep Thurs lunch / another ta-da? TA-DA :) 6/6
    6) Alternate ice & heat while watching Olympics / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before 8:30 dentist) = 5.5/7

    JFT R 2/17
    1) PT exercises plus others :smiley:
    2) 8:30 dentist :# Implant not taking as well as hoped (but not rejecting), picked up prescription rinse & scheduled another follow-up appt. Ack.
    3) Title 31 F&Ds / Calm app live at noon / 2:00 webinar / complete, digitally sign & submit webinar summary form w/ CPE cert / keep up w/ emails
    4) Move hourly / alternate ice & heat while watching Olympics
    5) Grocery shop after work / mail bday card & invoice pmt / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work)

    A benefit provided by my employer since last year is full subscription to the Calm app. Today is our first health/live event and the topic is Mindfulness & Self-Compassion. S/b perfect for the way things are going right now with life.

    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 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)
    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
    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
    • will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • watch for other events to add
    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
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    @Bex953172 I'm glad you are feeling better! I lose my focus too. Actually, I think I have ADHD but it wasn't a 'thing' when I was young, and I really struggle to stay on task or with anything for any amount of time. LOL I used to log on daily, but that is when I was working and had to be sitting at a computer at my desk every day. Now that I have no routine or responsibilities per se, I really have a hard time getting anything done! :mrgreen:

    @MLHC1 I'm glad you said that about massages getting easier with time. I've only had one or two in my life, but I feel like I need one so bad. Every muscle in my body hurts. But I really wasn't able to relax for the first two so felt I'd be wasting money.

    @clicketykeys "UPDATE THE DADGUM BLOG. " Made me giggle. :lol: I think it's really interesting you are learning Portugese. I have never learned a second language and now that I'm retired, I think about it but don't know which one I should learn.

    @TerriRichardson112 I love your inspirational memes. :smile:

    @PackerFanInGB - French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian all have similar patterns and a lot of cognates with English (and more with each other). German is a little more different from those, but also has similarities & cognates with English. They're all brain-stretchy in a way that's enjoyable and doesn't leave me feeling hopeless!

    @Bex953172 - Ehhh, you say "gave up," I say "did what interested you at the time." It's perfectly fine to play with language as a hobby. And if other things take you away from a hobby, or you just lose interest, there's nothing wrong with that! Plus, you can always return to it if you want to :smiley:

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: 200.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for GR purchase list.
    2. E2: Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
    6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Mar 8 7P.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. The next week or so is pretty packed. Yikes!
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    - Up at 6:30 😀
    - Geneticist at 8:00 😀
    - Breakfast out 😀
    - Drive home 😀
    - Nap 😀
    - Teach spin 😀
    - Dinner 😀
    - Log food 😀
    - Stay green😀
    - Bed by 11:30 :smiley:

    Took yesterday off to take V to the geneticist. Got somewhat good news there, but need to do more testing. Still no major findings expected. Spent a large part of the day in the car and had a few snacks, but did well on the overall calories for the day so no worries. Had a really good spin class last night which does wonders for my mood. I did struggle the last working song before cooldown, but that's what happens when you are out of shape. Still Strava said my exertion level was higher than my recent efforts, I'll take it. I really needed the day off. Work has really been a monster, and the little break was nice.

    Not much on the plan for today, just the usual: log food, stay green, ride damn bike...

    Oh yeah, I applied for a new job! It's a global position doing something I already do. So basically a part of my current job is being broken out and expanded into a new position. For much of this I am definitely the most qualified, but there are other parts that others may have an advantage over me because I'm not a Six Sigma Black Belt (or even Green Belt). Wish me luck!

    JFT Friday

    Recap R 2/17
    1) PT exercises plus others :smiley:
    2) 8:30 dentist :# Implant not taking as well as hoped (but not rejecting), picked up prescription rinse & scheduled another follow-up appt. Ack.

    4) Net calories <300 red / 96 oz. water :p While grocery shopping picked up frozen pizza which I haven't done in several years... that was supper, I enjoyed & net calories suffered. -787, sodium high, fiber, protein & calcium excellent, 80oz.
    5) Move hourly / alternate ice & heat while watching Olympics = 2/2 7K 8 floors / 14/14 boom!
    6) Grocery shop after work / mail bday card & invoice pmt / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? nope = 3/4
    7) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work) :smiley: 6/6

    JFT F 2/18
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley:

    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 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)
    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
    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
    • will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • watch for other events to add
    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
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    End of January:
    Today: 199.8

    Ongoing plans/ideas
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for GR purchase list.
    2. E2: Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
    6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Feb 8 7P.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. My brain is mush right now.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    You had a great day yesterday! You did everything but the "damn bike" 😂
    You're back to pre-holiday weight so congratulations!
    You got this! You're doing great, on top of everything you already do, youre also doing the spin classes and I think you're amazing!
    I don't know how you have enough hours in the day to do what you do!
    It's taken me all day to clean just the downstairs of the house and it's still not quite finished!

    Love and hugs! Xx
