Okay so today I woke up and felt like posting goals? Soooo that's what I'll do.
Not sure what's going on but I seem to really want to do my goals. Then not do them for no particular reason and then want to do them again.
Maybe consistency should of been my word of the year 😂
JFT Friday 11th
- Log all food ✔️
- 10k steps ✔️
- 6 waters ✔️ well 5, but happy with that
- Clean all the pots ❌
- Make a start on getting the laundry away. ❌
- Try not to sit down!! ✔️ So I didn't sit down but I was out and about from 20 past 2 til about 5pm. Shop, pick up kids, shop again, home, another shop lmao hence why I didn't get my cleaning done.was absolutely shattered by the end of it!
Well happy with my day yesterday.
Didn't get any cleaning done but I've got today for that now!
Onto some goals
JFT Sat 12th
- Morning meditation
- Log all food
- 6 waters
- Exercise? (This is a maybe depending on my energy levels today after cleaning)
- Clean all pots
- Get laundry away
Have a lovely Saturday everyone.
We were supposed to take kids out today, we couldn't go last weekend because Marley was poorly and now Casey's feeling under the weather. No sick but she just looks unwell. Poor thing.
Might see if Ash will take the others out, if the weather holds up and I'll make Jelly Soaps with Casey (she got a set for her birthday)
Also not gonna be too harsh on myself for the cleaning because I just realised I'm gonna have a clingy child today x6 -

My goals for today ~ March 12th
1. Take the time to follow a make up tutorial
2. Take the time to style my hair using heated tools
3. Take the time to put together a nice outfit
4. Manicure my nails
My birthday isn't until Monday, but we are going out tonight to celebrate it. Heading to Nandos (never been before so would like to try it out) then the cinema. I'm not very skilled with hair and makeup or styling myself particularly well! (Although, I do have my moments). So I'm tasking myself with lots of self care and pampering for today.
Happy Saturday 😊
My birthdays on Thursday! And Nandos is so nice! I love Nandos but not been for years now!
Have a wonderful celebration!!
Also I was the same with make up and also had to use YouTube tutorials, but they are so helpful! And now I can do my make up okay but was considering touching up on my techniques! Still no good at the hair haha I'm sure you'll look and feel amazing

Saturday JFT 03/12/2022:
▪︎Personal AM time: coffee & breakfast
▪︎MFP: review, post, and prelog diary
▪︎Devotional time: read 30 min.
▪︎AM self-care routine
▪︎Kiddo Tennis Tournament
▪︎Errands
▪︎Home exercises: Yoga and 1-BBL DVDs
▪︎GYM exercises: Elliptical 30 min, weights_total body
▪︎Lunchtime: eat & decompress for 1_hr
▪︎3_hr study session
▪︎Clean house a bit
▪︎Family Movie Night (making homemade pizza and my 19 yr old is coming home to join us)
▪︎Dinnertime: prep, eat, and decompress
▪︎PM self-care routine
▪︎Bedtime by 10 pm (22:00)
Last week us utter chaos!! Too many random emotions, medical appts, and helping Hubby get ready to leave back to work. Needless to say, I'm not even gonna look back at what I did not accomplish. I'm just going to move forward.
(Just a little side note; If any of you are prone to prayer, I could use a few prayers. There has been a potential cyst discovered in my right breast and the diagnostic clinic cannot image it until 3/22. So, naturally I'll be anxious about this until I get confirmation from imaging that it's benign. Anyways, no worries I'm sure but I know the power of pray and would greatly appreciate a few. I'll, of course, be praying for positive results myself. Thank you for being a group of people I consider my JFT family. 🌺)
Today's goal: Restore my healthy discipline.

Oh I'm sorry you have to wait for imaging. That must be pretty scary. But it's only 10 days away, I know for you that must feel a lot longer but it will soon come around.
In the meantime (although I don't often) I will say a prayer for you! And I hope you do get positive results! Are they able to tell you then and there what it is or do you have to wait again for results?

@MLCTX Prayers & hugs for you!!!
@more_freggies76 Wow, that's a lot of prep for your colonoscopy. When I prep (had 4 so far), I've been instructed to make dietary changes only the day before. I have to completely fast for 24 hours, no food of any kind, clear liquids allowed but mostly I just drink lots & lots of water. Then of course the horrible drink in the evening to clear everything out completely LOL. But since colon cancer runs on my dad's side, I want to be sure things are checked regularly. Best wishes.
Recap TGIF 3/11
1) PT exercises (new sets) before work
2) Move hourly 6.9K 20 floors 14/14 boom!
3) Figure out supper / net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water
Felt the need to snack between meals more than usual & didn't fight the feelings. Logged best I could. -486, sodium not bad, fiber, calcium & protein excellent, 80 oz. water (plus 1 c. milk)
4) Update Project Status s/s / update & submit weekly PAR, PRO, HW s/s's / BC-CC testing / emails current, maybe some backlog lol good work day, especially being Fri. 4/4
5) PT survey / check DVR / put away clean laundry ~ half / put away clean dishes / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? = 3.5/6
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. = 2/7 just exhausted
JFT Sat. 3/12
1) PT exercises
2) Move hourly
3) Net calories <300 red / 96 oz. water
4) Put away rest of clean laundry done / call mom & dad / pack up snowman decorations ~ brought boxes up from basement this morning / PT survey / water houseplants / declutter 15 min. ~ some already / another ta-da?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 7:30 alarm (9:00 church)
Not sure why but I was so tired last night, I fell asleep mid-evening sitting up, watching TV. So went to bed extra early & of course woke up extra early this morning. That's ok since we move clocks ahead tonight, and sunrise will feel like 1 hour later tomorrow. I hate getting up in the dark but know that days are getting longer each day.About me: CarmelaWord for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship
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)
- 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
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
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 basement2 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (helps me visualize). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Last week us utter chaos!! Too many random emotions, medical appts, and helping Hubby get ready to leave back to work. Needless to say, I'm not even gonna look back at what I did not accomplish. I'm just going to move forward.
(Just a little side note; If any of you are prone to prayer, I could use a few prayers. There has been a potential cyst discovered in my right breast and the diagnostic clinic cannot image it until 3/22. So, naturally I'll be anxious about this until I get confirmation from imaging that it's benign. Anyways, no worries I'm sure but I know the power of pray and would greatly appreciate a few. I'll, of course, be praying for positive results myself. Thank you for being a group of people I consider my JFT family. 🌺)
Today's goal: Restore my healthy discipline.
🌷🤗🌷
Prayers my friend.1 -

4. Have a foot spa

I like how you said having a good diet 80% of the time. That makes me feel better about my snacks and they days where I opt for something less healthy rather than a salad etc.

JFT Sat 12th
- Morning meditation ✔️ 10 minutes... The kids couldn't stay quiet to 10 minutes. I had earphones in but it's hard to focus on the meditation when I can hear them in the background.
- Log all food ✔️ just finished it this morning
- 6 waters ✔️ 5 again, ticking because.my minimum is 4
- Exercise? ❌ Knew this wouldn't happen 😂
- Clean all pots ❌
- Get laundry away❌
So I did start cleaning yesterday, I got all the lounge cleaned, polished, swept and organised the TV shelving. Lit a wax melt so it all smelt wonderful.
And then the kids made it a mess again. It wasn't too bad, couple of clothes and dress-up items. But they had also got out the kinetic sand. My.lounge is covered in sand. I gave up at that point.
And plus I wasn't getting any help from anyone else in the house so I thought F it.
But today I've woken up with a full blown cold, headache, sore throat, dry cough and twinges of ear ache. It's like I've taken a frying pan to the face. So I don't know how I'm gonna ge my cleaning done today, I feel awful. Really awful.
Gonna do my best on goals today but also gonna make it easier on myself
JFT Sunday 13th
- Log all food
- Drink 6 waters
- Clean girls uniform and P.E. kits.

Sunday JFT 03/13/2022:
▪︎Rest and Refresh
Sunday's I do not like to post goals, etc. I like to take one intentional day off each week and that is Sunday for me. I still plan to complete my yoga DVD in my quest to regain control over my healthy habits. Then this week I'll be incorporating my BBL 4 week plan to kick my butt back into shape, Lol.
Thank you ALL for the support, encouragement, hugs, and prayers. I genuinely appreciate you all. I will stand in courage and not allow fear to consume me during this unknown time. Also, to answer the question regarding results; the medical group I am working with has a policy of immediate result availability. There is a chance I'll be able to see the diagnostic report even before my doctor. The online patient record gives me this access. It has it's pros and cons, Lol!!
Enjoy a blessed Sunday my friends!!🌷🤗🌷4 -
@BeIn2day Happy birthday tomorrow! I'm glad you had a nice time at dinner last night and took time to pamper yourself. We don't take time to have enough of those days, do we? :flowerforyou:
@Bex953172 I'm so sorry to hear you feel so awful today! I hope the girls and Ash will baby you today the way you do them every day, hon. Happy birthday on Thursday! Turning 30 is not a bad thing. You're still only half my age. LOL My 30's were better than my 20's, and my 40's were better than my 30's. I hope you have a very special birthday on Thursday. Do you have plans? How is Casey today? Is she feeling any better?
@BeIn2day and @Bex953172 My birthday is Friday! Three of us this week. It's a good week, eh?
@MLCTX I said a prayer for you immediately. I know the underlying anxiety of waiting for results all too well, and I'm sending you (((Gentle HUGS))). I like that you take one day each week for yourself. I used to declare Sundays as my OFFLINE/Tech Free day. I worked in IT, so it felt more important while I was still working, but I still find it healthy to take a break from texts and FB at least one day a week. I hope you have a nice peaceful Sunday.
I know there were more I wanted to reply to, but my brain's gone blank!

Happy Sunday! We turned our clocks forward today so it's already after 10:00 a.m. I've never been a fan of this daylight savings change. I know it's supposed to be wonderful because of more daylight hours, but I've never enjoyed losing an hour of sleep. Pretty sure I'll be dragging my *kitten* all day today!
I don't have a lot of 'busy' goals for today. I am going to try to spend time doing non-stressful things. My husband has the news on all day watching the events of the world. It's very anxiety producing and makes me feel as though I need to do something to help but I don't know what...so I pray. We don't have a large house so I can hear the tv no matter which room I'm in. I am thinking that today I will spend time downstairs in my sewing room and turn on a silly movie or something.
There is a fresh layer of snow on the ground this morning, with sunny blue skies. It looks so clean and fresh right now...how's that for putting a positive spin on winter? Soon it will be spring and the flowers will poke through and the robins will come back. I am really looking forward to spending more time in our yard this year. I used to love gardening, and I think I'm going to get back into that hobby again. I'd like to try canning tomatoes this year. :flowerforyou:
Have a nice day!
Just for Today:- I will make a 24H Plan and assess yesterday's 24H plan.
- I will drink 64 oz of water before 6 pm
- I will follow a plant-based whole food diet
- I will create a new Weekly Plan and assess last week's plan
- I will spend time reading my Bible plan and reading from the Bible
- I will spend time in self-care--Journal / Podcasts / Yoga or Tai Chi / Sew / Nap
- I will go to bed an hour early and take time to wind down by reading

Enjoy my last day being 34 🤪
How was Nandos!
Ah man..I'm turning 30 on Thursday! The big 3-0. I feel like it's a turning point in life hahah.
I like how you said having a good diet 80% of the time. That makes me feel better about my snacks and they days where I opt for something less healthy rather than a salad etc.
I really enjoyed Nandos. Food was lovely. I would go back. I liked how u could get unlimited refills on the drinks. I felt exactly the same turning 30. Leaving my 20's made me feel a lil bit sad and disbelief if I'm honest. I was like okay, so I'm actually getting older. This is real. This happens 🤣🤣🤣 the time just flies. I can't believe I'm in my mid 30's now 😳 I still feel like 20 though, so I guess that's the main thing 😅
Haha 100%!!!
That's exactly how it feels. I've never been more aware of my age 😂
Yeah I still feel young.. and I look young still which is bonus haha I still get ID'd... Every damn time. I dread the day I don't get ID'd 😂3 -
@MLCTX hugs and prayers for you. I know it's a scary time, but remember over 9 out of 10 breast investigations turn out to be benign. keep your chin up!
@BeIn2day and @Bex953172 you are both mere youngsters lol. Bex I am twice your age too! Sorry you've got the cold, mine is on the way out now thank goodness.
Sometimes I wish I could shout out to all the young people trying to lose weight to Just do it! Don't be like me and reach this age wishing I'd managed to maintain the numerous times I lost weight in the past. Do it young and enjoy life fit and healthy!
I am sure there were others I wanted to reply to but I'm in a rush. It's 5.30pm here already and this is the first time I've been online today. No TV either. I'm limiting my time watching the news too @PackerFanInGB .
Had son and grandson here all day. We've had some fun, and also made progress at parents house. I met with a man today who will be able to help me with some of the big clearance issues I have. The burden feels a bit lighter now, I'm grateful that he was recommended to me.
Haven't logged today but think I'll be just under maintenance if I don't snack tonight. (I felt like crisps the other night but couldn't remember where I'd hidden them. Seriously, I couldn't find them lol)

Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow.1
-
Sw: 310.7 lb
Ultimate Goal Weight: 180 lb lean muscle
2022 Goal Weight: 280 lbs
I'm late to the game, but I hope it's ok that I jump on board! My word for the year is accountable - Not only in my health habits, but also in all the other areas of my life. I started school on February 21st, and I'm determined to not let my being out of high school for 13 years stop me from succeeding.
Daily goal for tomorrow: Monday, March 3- Stay within my calorie goal
- do a chair workout
- call the rheumatologist about a steroid injection
- Meditate
- do the last 18 exercises in schoolwork
Goals for the year:I have dropped out of school before, because of my mental health and because of having to care for disabled family members, and I'm determined that that won't happen again. My main goal for the year is to make it through school, and in order to do that, I'm taking a holistic approach and attempting to care for my body, mind, and spirit every day. So My daily goals are going to look related to weight, but they're also going to encompass mind and spirit too. At the end of the year I want to see 280 lb on the scale and 6.2 miles/day on my Fitbit.
Commitment for the rest of tonight: No more eating and only drinking water!4 -
