I think I need to start taking measurements and noting weight on the first of the most th. I would like to lose 10lbs by July 6th. That will put me at less than the weight I was when I hurt my hip three years ago at Kaitlyn’s wedding.
I believe on the day of the wedding I weighed 180. If I lose 10 I will weigh 176 as of this morning. Will have to see what the scale says tomorrow.

JFT, Saturday, MAY 1st
I cannot believe it is May already. At the beginning of the year I was under 200 .. and vowed to lose the weight I had gained. Well, its May, and I over 200. I need to work much harder at this .. mostly bad habits. This has not been a good year for me, and being an emotional eater.. it shows.
JFT, MAy 1
1. log all my food
2. concentrate on water
3. mindful eating ... slow down... wait 5 minutes
4. No nitetime snacking .... personal challenge
Thanks @beachwalker99 for the challenge idea! I am usually really good with my exercise .. love a challenge to motivate me to do more. This year, like everything else, this is on the backburner. Need to make it a priority for myself.
I am also starting my own personal challenge of nitetime snacking and trying to lose 5# each month. I know I need to control my snacking this to lose weight. I eat healthy most days... my meals are OK. Its the nitetime snacking that is causing me to gain weight and not lose. I know once I get this better controlled I will start losing again.
I'm also doing again the 5 pound challenge.
May challenge
Goal 1: 60+ min of exercise at least 5 days per week (tracked weekly)
Goal 2: Limit nitetime snacking

I'm supposed to get 30-45 minutes of intentional exercise 5 days a week, but I haven't been reaching that goal. A challenge might help push me to make exercise a priority. Anyone in?
I am up for an exercise challenge!2 -
Hour commitment - After I finish my chicken, I won't eat again until dinner with DH and FIL. Early dinner ok. No more desserts today. Can still have my dose of metamusal.1

And I just realized my trigger to eat .. worries about my daughter. She came out tonite .. and the first thing I want to do is go and grab something to eat. I did eat a handful of popcorn.. but I am going to stop at that.

I did what I'd planned on Sunday. The family meal was a disappointment, 2 were late and grandson was a little horror. I'd paid for takeaway food, it was okay but nothing special (I had a burger and a few chips). We live in a very small town so the choice is quite limited. I think I've finally realised that a home cooked meal is better than takeaway! But it's just so convenient sometimes, when we meet up for home cooked meals it's always me who has to cook.
One good thing yesterday - I was pottering about cleaning up, realised the rain had stopped, and just put my coat on and went for a short walk. The only reason I did this was because of this thread and the challenge, so thank you @beachwalker99 for suggesting it!
I've been really lax recently about walking, and when I do go out I find it difficult. I feel so stiff and sore that walking is not a pleasure any more. So my challenge this month is to walk more regularly, and hopefully it will get easier. I won't stress about speed or distance , but will note times. Minimum will be 150 minutes per week. I won't be walking on Saturdays as I'll be doing 4/5 hours cleaning then.
JFT Monday 2nd May
Stay under maintenance
Only one snack
Back exercises
Foot exercises

Another weekend not posting JFT, and so-so on MFP = not so good eating. Ack. Rainy Sat. so I did PT exercises plus some weights. Sun. weather cool, gloomy & windy but I have really been wanting to start "real" dog walks again. With the May exercise challenge in mind, dog and I walked 5K. Knee ok but needed an Aleve during night. Reminder to me not to overuse again, take things easy & hopefully continue to improve.
JFT 5/2 ~ Skipped PT exercises before work, household chores instead.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
2) After work walk to park with dog & hubby
3) Net calories < 200 red / 96 oz. water
4) GA-S testing & F&Ds (finish repairing formatting for 35 stds = ugh) / set up PRO, PAR & HW s/s for current week / delete tasks & empty Deleted folder / emails current
5) Based on recent bird sightings approaching our area: make hummingbird syrup & hang feeder / clean suet feeder & fill with oranges / find & fill oriole feeder w/ jelly / prep clothes & lunch for T workplace noon hike / read Report of Examination: Anatomy of a Scandal for W webinar / another ta-da?
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / pray & Calm / 6:00 alarm (PT exercises before work)
May Exercise Challenge:
{not sure how I'll track just yet}- Walk dog at least 3 miles: 1X
- PT exercises: 1X
- Walk dog shorter distance with hubby:
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)
- 3.31.22 maintaining not gaining
- 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 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.

I use both a calendar and an app for my "To Do" list and although they help I sort of ignore a lot of my tasks. Maybe this will make me do my list?
(I'm going to make my first one easyish)
Friday, April 29th, 2022
1. Change bedding. Yes!
2. Work in garden. Yes!
3. Clean Kitchen. (sort of)
4. 20 minute stretch. Yes!
5. Organize paperwork. (NO. I hate paperwork. Need to work on improving my paperwork org. skills.)
Maybe you could break down the paper work. Commit yourself to sort just 10 pages or letters (and once you've started you'll probs carry on)
I have to do this with pots. Once I've used everything and my sides are cluttered with them. I think right ill just clean 5 pots at a time. But I normally end up doing the whole lot. But if I start to find my motivation going I can stop and know I still achieved cleaned a few of them.
Not sure how you can apply it to the paperwork because it depends on the kind of paper work and in what way it needs organising but just break it down to sort maybe 10 pages/day?
Just a thought
Good idea. I need to get some kind of maintenance system going. I have terrible handwriting and sitting down looking at bills is stressful. But I'm much better than I use to be. Need to improve, I've always admired ppl who have nice organize files. I've seen a million YouTube videos on how to do this. I just need to do it.
Haha I'm really good at organizing, like in my mind. I know how to organise and can spend hours coming up with amazing ways to organise. But actually doing it is my problem lol!3 -
