Have a great weekend y’all!
Feeling better today, missed church, but went to the gym. Tim convinced me that taking one of my run days on the Arc trainer to give my knees a break. He’s right my run/walk has been really hard on my knees at this weight. I can deal with the pain as long as I don’t run consecutive days and take some ibuprofen, but it’s not ideal. Oh well, I’ll figure it out. The arc trainer is the closest to simulating running but with no impact.
Other than that, not much planned for today.
Happy Sunday y’all!3 -
Hour commitment - great lunch, including artichoke! Now I won't eat again until dinner with DH and FIL. Can still have my dose of metamusal.2

Morning everyone.
My logging has been a bit on and off lately. And Ive noticed the weight has creeped on a bit within the last year since I moved in. So want to change that.
It was mother's day yesterday here in the UK. Had a chilled, well kind of chilled day.
Ash made a delicious dinner. First attempt at meatballs and they came out amazing!!! So nice in fact that even when I was full I kept eating! Was too good to give to the dog.
So today I've woke up with tummy ache and I'm bloated like crazy. It was too much food lol.
So rather than just saying "I'm starting again (again)" I need a set plan.
So exercise x5/week. This will be cardio most days and on days when I do strength training in will do a shorter cardio workout.
I need to drink 6 waters EVERY DAY.
And I need to have perfect logging.
To kick my nighttime snacking habit. I'm going to start with intermittent fasting. So I have my set hours of eating (gonna research at the best ratio online for me)
So those few things should keep me on track.
JFT Monday 28th
- Log all food!
- Research intermittent fasting ratios.
- Drink 6 waters
- Soup for lunch (having a more liquid diet today to settle my tummy from yesterday)
- No exercise today .. also due to tummy but will create an exercise plan.4 -
Conferences and tons of grading this week, so I'm not sure what else I'll get done. Hoping to get back on track with good food choices and exercise after a weekend of ignoring both.
Recap - Saturday 3/26
Log - Did it the next day
Balanced meals - No
Hydrate -
Exercise? - No
Evaluate topic proposals -
Afternoon at Mom's -
Didn't set goals or make particularly good choices on Sunday, but I logged anyway.
JFT Monday 3/28
Log
Balanced meals
Hydrate
Exercise?
Make eye appointment
Organize returns
Prep and grading
Happy belated Mother's Day to all the UK moms

6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:15 alarm (PT before work)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)
- 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
- 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 basement1 -
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.

So much has been going on for me ... to much to mention here. But ... I am back, and determined to get my health and weight back where I should be!
So JFT, MONDAy, 3/28
1. Log all my food .. both on WW site and on here. Trying to figure out the best way. I don't like how WW changed, and having zero success following their plan. So going to track here to see my calories also
2. mindful thinking. Wait 5 minutes before grabbing something to eat
3. concentrate on water in the evening... and again, mindful eating
I will try and read back to all I have missed.. but happy to be back, and hope to be more consistent!

Babysitting week for me so won't be online much, but will make the effort to log to keep track.
JFT Monday 28th March
Log everything
Stay in the green
Back exercises
Foot exercises
Walk
Be patient and enjoy the day
Yesterday was a complete bust, I failed on everything except be patient and enjoy looking after grandson. Oh well, I suppose that was the most important goal!
Today is a repeat of yesterday, but will try to do better, no snacking in the evening.
3 -
My plan exercise x5/week. This will be cardio most days and on days when I do strength training in will do a shorter cardio workout.
I need to drink 6 waters EVERY DAY.
And I need to have perfect logging.
To kick my nighttime snacking habit. I'm going to start with intermittent fasting. So I have my set hours of eating (gonna research at the best ratio online for me)
So those few things should keep me on track.
JFT Monday 28th
- Log all food! ❌
- Research intermittent fasting ratios.❌
- Drink 6 waters❌
- Soup for lunch❌ (having a more liquid diet today to settle my tummy from yesterday)
- No exercise today .. also due to tummy but will create an exercise plan.
@littleblackskirt my day was a complete bust too!
Tbh I was just too tired to function. I had a 2 hour nap whilst kids were at school. Went and got them, then got home to find out we had an unexpected bill and they were being A holes about it. So had to ring around to borrow some money. But got it in the end. But it dragged on for ages. Then tea was late, didn't have time to wash the kids, the pots or any cleaning for that matter didn't get done so it was basically my most unproductive day ever.
So same goals again really
JFT Tues
- Log all food
- 6 waters
- Research intermittent fasting ratios
- Soup for lunch
- Clean the lounge or I'll never have the room to exercise
