    • 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

    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

    My sinuses are a mess. I have taken two rapid tests to be safe and both are negative. This happens every year at this time. I hope my symptoms ease tomorrow I really can’t afford to take the day off work. I’m so close to getting caught up!

    I had ceramics tonight and am taking our granddaughter on Saturday. I thought it would be something she would like to do and it was her Easter gift from us.

    My weight is up a bit right now. I know it’s from lack of logging and being active on this group. I just need to buckle down. It’s so much easier said than done.

    APRIL CHALLENGE
    I already pre-plan meals for the day. However, my daily CI fat %age had drifted up quite a bit, so:
    I commit to keeping my CI fat%age within 2% of my daily goal 90% of the days. (Allows 3 pass days for celebrations 🤦‍♀️)
    April Challenge:
    CI Fat %age < 27%
    🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
    🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🤦‍♀️🐣
    🤦‍♀️🐣🐣🐣🐣🤦‍♀️🐣
    Pass days:
    Tues 12: lunch outing with daughters. Hard to log accurately so taking it as a pass day.
    Fri 15: family picnic lunch, and dinner. As above.
    Wed 20: Birthday celebrations
    Tracey, my sinus problems lessened quite a bit when I went off dairy a number of years ago. It’s something to do with the lactose in dairy products.

    Sorry I haven't been posting this week, I feel like I've been mega busy (though compared to what some of you achieve I'm practically comatose lol). My eating has been bad, I didn't get back on track after Easter Sunday and have just been snacking and picking at things instead of making proper meals. I'm away for work over the weekend so not really planning to get back on it until Monday.

    So I have been busy, had grandson around a bit more as his mother didn't take him this week, and I've been doing the final push at parent's house. After all my clearing out, I got proper house clearers in to take van loads of stuff to the tip and to the auction for sale. It was stressful but now the house is empty I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. There's only a few outside bits to do now. I've spent hours cleaning it, and marketing it for sale starts this weekend. I will not get stressed at this new phase, promise!

    I've only managed one walk all week. It's not that I can't find time, it's just that after the other things I've been doing I'm in too much pain to walk in the evening. Hopefully will get back to that soon.

    Today I'm prepping for the weekend and cleaning my own house. I still have stuff from my parents in my spare room and it needs sorting, some paperwork needs keeping, and some is for other people. I don't like it being messy.

    I'm grateful to see my weight hasn't changed this week, could have been worse!

    I haven't read all the back posts yet, but I see @beachwalker99 has been to a tulip farm. How lovely, I bet it was a great display. I'm enjoying the few tulips I have in the garden, I chose yellow ones which really glow in the sun.

    Happy almost Friday y'all!

    Well, yesterday wasn't great, but I still had an okay day. Meeting was rough, but all issues were resolved and we finally closed a big case with one of our biggest customers. There will be more cases like this as we had a large upset in our process here, and there are bound to be more complaints filed. Nobody showed for spin class, so hubby and I just went to dinner a bit earlier than planned

    Plan was to take half a day today to unwind and ride a bit. It's now pushed back to simply leaving early as my boss scheduled a 1:00pm meeting. Still should work out. With the new bike rack, loading up is much, much easier than it was. Correction... meeting just got rescheduled for um now (well now its 20 minutes ago), so half day it is! YAY!!!! Now the question is, will I make it to noon or will I just call it a day??? I have been answering emails since 6:30 this morning even though I didn't get out of bed until 7:30.

    We were supposed to go se "Much Ado About Nothing" this evening, but it was canceled. Heck maybe I'll try to find my gift cards from Christmas and go get my nails done. Probably not, but maybe.

    JFT Friday (man I'm so glad it's Friday)
    - Up at 6:30 :smiley:
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Morning meetings :smiley:
    - Protein bar for breakfast :smiley:
    - No snacking on chocolate
    - Log food
    - Stay green
    - Charge watch
    - Go for a ride in Athens
    - Nap (maybe nap while Garmin charges then ride)
    - Enjoy the evening with hubby. Maybe a fire in the back yard and chill with a few drinks.
    - Bed by 11:30

    Have great Friday y'all!

    OK, time to get serious again. A bunch of my dance friends are meeting up in Barcelona, Spain in September. I want to be able to go and really enjoy myself, which means getting in shape. I also got on the scale last night for the first time in two years...reality check! Actually, looking at MFP records, I have only gained about 20 pounds during the pandemic...but I need to get rid of the weight I put on after going back to work full time too.

    JFT for Friday 4-22:
    1. Eat breakfast
    2. 8 C water
    3. Get some exercise and track it
    4. Big salad!
    5. Track food
    6. Order new FitBit to replace the one that is dead
    7. Refill prescriptions
    8. Get in touch with neuroendocrinologist about where the process is with getting pituitary meds refilled

    Hour commitment - After my yogurt, I won't eat again until tomorrow.

    Today was a day where it was hard to eat my full calories. Sometimes "no sugar" days make it hard to fill my calories. On top of that when I eat low carb, like I did today, it's hard to get my calories. Not a bad problem to have though!

    I am a person who abstains from late night snacking. March, 31/31:
    April:
    Me: 22 ~|~ LNS: 0 ~|~ Streak: 58”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    APRIL CHALLENGE
    I already pre-plan meals for the day. However, my daily CI fat %age had drifted up quite a bit, so:
    I commit to keeping my CI fat%age within 2% of my daily goal 90% of the days. (Allows 3 pass days for celebrations 🤦‍♀️)
    April Challenge:
    CI Fat %age < 27%
    🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
    🐣🐣🐣🐣🤦‍♀️🐣🐣
    🤦‍♀️🐣🐣🐣🐣🤦‍♀️🐣
    🐣
    Pass days:
    Tues 12: lunch outing with daughters. Hard to log accurately so taking it as a pass day.
    Fri 15: family picnic lunch, and dinner. As above.
    Wed 20: Birthday celebrations
    I need to get my head back in the game after the Easter break. 😝

    Happy Sunday! It's 70 degrees for the 2nd day in a row here in Green Bay, WI and it sure does help pick up my mood! Windows open, very windy but the wind chimes sound like a distant church bell ringing and I love it.

    I need to go back and read posts but it looks like there's been an April challenge which has been going well for some of you. Yay! Congrats!

    Just for Today:
    1. 24H meal & goal plan to help set me up for success.
    2. Assess yesterday's 24H plan to review what I can do differently or what I should continue doing.
    3. 64 oz of water (with juice of one lime) before 6PM. I've really been slacking on water. Today, this is priority! Water helps your body heal and rejuvenate at a cellular level and helps flush toxins. It also assists in calorie burning.
    4. Readings/Reflections/Journal Relationship Goals with myself, my God and my family.
    5. Take a walk in the sunshine with Maddie. To strengthen the muscles around my knees and in my legs. Body shaping. Physical and mental health. Attitude booster.
    6. Home Care Sweep and clean floors. Laundry. Kitchen. Dust.
    7. Weekly Plan & Assessment
    8. Evening Routine: Set up coffeemaker. Brush/Floss Teeth. Wash & lotion. Readings: New Day, New You / Blessings for Today / Simple Abundance. Gratitude Journal. Set alarm for AM.


    2022 WOTY: Intentional -- Being intentional is about focusing your thoughts and emotions on what's important to you. You choose and plan your actions and behavior carefully to achieve your desires. You set a clear purpose.
