Hi. I am under calories so far today but fighting the urge to go back for more food. JFT I am done eating! I spent 140 calories on chocolate today, and that's enough.
My exercise goal for May is to gently rehab my knee. I injured it doing a yoga video full of lunges. I'm still wearing a brace and taking it easy on the stairs. I will do my dumbbell routine 3x a week, and do some walking but nothing too aggressive.
My scale goal for May is 170, down from 175 last Friday. Those five pounds make a huge difference in comfort and self-image.
My NSV goal is to wear my green shorts.
My diet goal is just CI<CO. Which means no late night snacking after my calories are used up. And I think I need to get some stevia. I'm getting bad about sugar again. And eat more salad. I'm not stressing about water, but it would help to drink more.
So for Tuesday
1. Stay below 1100 calories
2. Do dumbbells 20 reps
3. Buy Stevia and salad stuff
4. Learn how to use the quote feature!

This is only a test! Lol2 -
Yesterday was a lovely day for an outdoor bike ride. My husband and I rode on the trail through the wetlands, stopping midway through for some bird watching. We lucked out and got to see an osprey off the nest, along with herons, terns, swifts, and the usual gulls, ducks, and geese. (For the challenge, I've only logged the minutes actually spent riding.) We stopped for lunch and went to the garden center on the way home. I was feeling too lazy to actually get any work done, so I sat in the sun and worked the crossword puzzle until my daughter's family arrived for dinner. Threw some shrimp, potatoes and veggies on the grill for a light meal. I am so ready for the slower pace of warm weather days!

@littleblackskirt - my exercise therapist told me to start slow with my walking, even if I could only add a couple of minutes a week it would be an improvement and that’s what I’ve done. I’ve started healing without injuring myself.

@Snowflake1968 thanks for the tip. I hope you keep improving, can't believe it's almost 3 years since you hurt yourself!littleblackskirt wrote: »

Walk only 23 minutes, as quite sore after gardening

Had a good day in the garden yesterday, still loads to do though. Decided to try growing spinach now I've starting eating it! Again, I took a short walk because I've committed to on here. Telling myself short is better than not going at all.

Last month was not good for me. Too much stress, too much food and too little movement. Overall +3lb on the scale. When I don't weigh in regularly, I tend to gain... Back to weighing daily for accountability.
Big stressor taken off my plate today. They finally announced which company I will go with when our company splits. Most of the company is being purchased by Celenese, but a portion of the company is not. I'm going to be staying with the current company until they sell off this smaller business. So though I am still going to be pulling triple duty until the end of the year, my path is clear. I will be the new site quality manager. This will have a number of large challenges, but at the same time it is a huge move in my career. During the time up to the split I need to train my replacements and set up an independent quality system.
Felt poorly Sunday and yesterday, but am beginning to perk up today. Supposed to rain this evening so likely no club ride. I may ride the Peleton. I may try to squeeze in a fast paced walk. We'll see.
I remembered to order some protein bars for work so I won't be raiding the vending machine, and I actually logged my food this morning. Positive steps. Now to set actually healthy goals.

1. Stay below 1100 calories
2. Do dumbbells 20 reps
3. Buy Stevia and salad stuff
4. Learn how to use the quote feature!
So far I learned the quote feature and I bought Stevia and salad stuff. I'm at 1108 calories which is not too bad because I have exercise tonight. So I ate back eight of those calories. So far so good.
I was reading today about how 1100 calories is very low. But I am older, and very sedentary especially with this bum knee. I'm retired so I only leave the house twice a week or so. So I think I'm alright.

Well I never decided how to handle eating back calories so I gave in to the cookies and ate back some exercise calories. The calorie numbers aren't so bad, but I should be eating better food.
When I let the dog out at night, and I am standing around waiting for him, then he gets a cookie and I want my cookies! There's got to be a way to do that ritual differently.3 -

Well, Monday was a bit of a wash--still don't have the medication that I need and I am really tired. It turns out that my local lab DID THE WRONG TEST three weeks ago, so insurance will not approve the prescription. So I am going to drive into the city today and have the big research hospital do it correctly. The test takes a week to process...very frustrated!

My walk didn't go as planned. I stopped in the country on my way to friend's house, hoping to walk in a lovely place with centuries old oak trees, fresh green beech trees and loads of bluebells. Well, it was still lovely, but raining and very grey! I will go back on a better day. I'd hoped to walk again in the evening but family stuff took up my time.

4. Learn how to use the quote feature!-yes
So as far as staying below 1100 calories on exercise days, I can eat back half the calories but no cookies. I just don't need them on top of the chocolate I eat. But it's a new rule so Monday doesn't count as a miss.

Tuesday
1. Stay below 1100 calories - kinda
2. Do dumbbells 20 reps-yes
3. Buy Stevia and salad stuff-yes
4. Learn how to use the quote feature!-yes
So as far as staying below 1100 calories on exercise days, I can eat back half the calories but no cookies. I just don't need them on top of the chocolate I eat. But it's a new rule so Monday doesn't count as a miss.

I've found that eating back exercise calories (I eat back about 1/2) really helps me stick to my plan. If not I get hangry and cave into the cravings. Good luck.
1100 cals is a hard goal, especially if you don't eat back some. I'm short and have a sedentary job so my cal requirements to lose weight are low also, but I couldn't deal with a max of 1100 every day. I have 1100 cal days, but I also have 1300 cal days. I loses best with that range 1100-1300. It keeps me sane-ish.
Good luck!2 -

Happy Tuesday y'all!
Tuesday was ok. There were homemade chocolate chip cookies at home so I definitely didn't eat the best yesterday, but I did stay within maintenance even with the cookies and Chinese for dinner. Weight was steady today despite the sodium. Didn't ride or walk due to weather and general laziness.
Today, I am going to go get my thyroid levels checked. I've been too busy to do it, but I have an appointment upcoming and need to figure out if I'm off kilter.
Was up late helping V with math last night. She was stressing, but I think we got through it. I did have to do some refresher reading, but then it all came back to me. Pre-calc was a long, long time ago. I was actually rather proud of myself and enjoyed figuring it out. I am such a geek...
Today I don't have much planned. Hopefully I'll get my training walk in today if the rain holds off. Other than that, just work stuff.

@Anniesquats100 For me, I would never survive on 1100 calories per day, I'd be way too hangry. I always allow myself to eat back exercise calories. In fact, that is how MFP is designed to work, along with your weight loss goal. I have mine set to 1# per week and aim for zero net calories when I exercise. Btw, I'm 64 yrs old, average height & have a desk job. The quality of food is also something I aim for (less processed food & sugar, more fruit & veggies, watch the sodium). Portion control is key for me.
Recap 5/3 T
1) PT exercises before work
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / workplace noon hike at HeNisRa Park (may be canceled due to rain) = 7.3K 23 floors 13/14 (1.5hrs at dinner)
3) Hubby/I couples dinner with P&B 5:30 at Mexican restaurant: 1 adult beverage, no/limit tortilla chips & enjoy dinner / guesstimate for food log / net calories not crazy red / 96 oz. water
1 margarita (so good!), not too many chips, ACP shrimp for dinner. Had troubles logging food accurately on MFP, not really sure how I did. Oh well, it was a fun time. 80 oz. water.
4) GA-S testing & F&Ds / prep webinar summary forms for W & Th / Facebook Live video / emails current = 4/4
5) Schwan's delivery ~ late delivery, left in freezer bag while we were gone / make hummingbird syrup & hang feeder too cold overnight / clean suet feeder & fill with oranges / find & fill oriole feeder w/ jelly / start grocery list / another ta-da if time ~ minor again but TA-DA!
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / pray & Calm / 6:00 alarm (dog walk before work)
2.5/6
JFT 5/4 W
1) PT exercises before work had wanted dog walk but temp was 31F when I woke & I don't want my knees stressed by the temps as well as distance
2) Walk dog 3 miles after work
3) Move hourly / stairs breaks / pace in office during 2hr webinar
4) Net calories < 200 red / 96 oz. water
5) GA-S testing & F&Ds / webinar 10-12 / complete, pdf & digital sign webinar summary form / submit form with CPE cert if rec'd today / review OnBase updates, register for training if nec.
6) Hang hummingbird feeder / fill w/ jelly & hang oriole feeder / clean suet feeder, fill w/ oranges & hang / start grocery list / wash dishes / another ta-da?
7) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / pray & Calm / 6:15 alarm (PT exercises 1 set, final PT appt. 8:30)
May Exercise Challenge:
Goal 1: PT exercises 4-5 days per week
Week 1:
Goal 2: 3 mile dog walks, up to 5 days per week by end of May if knees permit
Week 1: 3.06About me: CarmelaWord for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship
Height 5'4"

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)

- 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

- 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 -
