    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

    Welcome! Beast of luck. I’m proud of you for taking time for yourself and going back to school. It isn’t easy, but it’s worth it!

    JFT Sunday

    - church 😞
    - Log :smiley:

    Yeah that’s it…

    Just had zero motivation this weekend. I felt poorly Saturday, but Sunday I have no excuse but sheer laziness and maybe a tad bit of depression peaking in. Gotta turn that around today and the best way for me to do that is to exercise,

    Didn't sleep well last night, so we'll see.

    JFT Monday
    - Up at 6:30 :smiley: Actually up at 4:14, but didn't get out of bed until 7:15. I just didn't want to!
    - Work by 8:30 :smiley:
    - Meetings
    - Random work stuff
    - Home early
    - Ride damn bike
    - Go to school and paint sets
    - Log food

    2) Move hourly :neutral: unexpected low activity day 4.5K 10 floors 9/14
    3) PT exercises :s nope
    4) Leftovers for supper / no evening snacking >:) switched to late afternoon ~ ack! / net calories < 300 / 96 oz. water :s horrible numbers two days in a row, not stellar weekend, and not sure of water intake ~ at least 64 oz. water ok with that
    5) Declutter 15 min. / prep bill payments / meal plan & grocery list / make overnight oats / another ta-da? yep = 4/5
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work) = 2/7 so lazy at bedtime lately!

    JFT M 3/14
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley: hard getting up early after clocks spring ahead
    2) Move hourly
    3) Net calories <300 red / 96 oz. water
    4) BC-CC testing ~ complete docs research? / emails current
    5) Drop payments in mail / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?

    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)
    • 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
    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
    • 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

    Yesterday was quite productive. I didn't ride the bike, but truth be told I didn't have the energy to do it anyway. I went to the school and painted which took about all I had in me.

    Feeling a bit rough today, but plodding along.

    V has a follow-up appointment for her shoulder today to gage progress. Hopefully that goes well. Tim is taking her today.

    I have to get a cracked tooth repaired today after work, no looking forward to that. Then there is Bible study for which I am not prepared.

    Recap T 3/15
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley: plus some arms with hand weights
    2) Move hourly :smiley: 8.8K 23 floors 11/14
    3) Leftovers for supper / net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water >:) Ack! Evening snacking again. -858 (?), sodium red not horrible, fiber, calcium & protein excellent (of course, b/c I ate what I wanted). Very low water 56 oz. :(
    4) Contact Jenni A for missing docs ~ very timely response = thank you! / BC-CC conclude testing ~ last bits of online research becoming difficult & time-consuming, kind of expected with BC / 9:00 EHN update / Facebook Live video / prep webinar summary forms for this week / emails current, some backlog = 5.5/6 plus fire drill plus weird emails from *kitten*. manager (par for the course here) + chats with co-workers to understand
    5) If weather improves, walk dog to park (1 mile total) = YAY / meal plan & grocery list / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? made overnight oats = 3/4
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work) :smiley: 6/6

    JFT W 3/16
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / pace during webinar / walk dog to park after work
    3) Net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water
    4) BC-CC finish research & start writing testing / 1:00 webinar / complete, digitally sign webinar summary form / submit form & CPE cert to LC / emails current

    Fog had finally cleared & weather was spring-like when I got home from work, so hubby & I walked dog to park and back. Dog was sooo excited when I got her harness out! She hasn't had a proper long walk in months. I realize I have to take walks at a slower pace & not the usual distance as my knees recover from overuse. We walked 1.2 miles last night & it was WONDERFUL. Dog tramped through all the melting snow and mud, dragged leash through puddles & came home wet from the belly down. She's very good about allowing us to towel her off (unlike our prior dog, who would sit or lay down rather than let you towel her dry). Yahoo!

    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)
    • 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
    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
    • 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

    Have a terrific Tuesday y'all!

    Yesterday was a bust health wise, didn't eat well, didn't log (may go back today and log what I remember), didn't exercise. Yeah, I felt poorly and my office was an inferno so I went home for the second half of the day yesterday.

    Things at work are going better career wise. I am going to get to stay with the new job when the companies separate. Unfortunately, it's trial by fire in the quality world so there are huge issues I need to wrap my head around. It's okay, I like the work, and I'm getting to move up in my career rather than being forced to take a step back.

    It's Wednesday and I have zero excuses not to exercise today, so I WILL ride the damn bike for at least an hour. I'm getting way behind on my cycling challenge of 2022 miles in 2022, I'm only at like 350miles since January. When the weather is nicer my rides should get longer and hopefully I'll be able to hit my goal.

    JFT Wednesday
