    It's going to be a tough weekend with mother's day candy in the house. I already ate my afternoon calories, but there's still my dinner which will be 4oz of boiled chicken. Then my exercise calories come into play. I might have another hot chocolate, which has a scoop of fiber in it to quell the cravings. I ordered some cocoa with stevia, so that will reduce my chocolate calories soon. But I have to get through this weekend first.

    I am super motivated to get back under 170. I am uncomfortable at 172; all my clothes are snug. And I want to look good for the summer, for the beach and the dating scene. I need some new dating clothes (tops with cleavage!). So I need to work for this and not throw away my progress for a twenty second taste of candy. I can do this - focus on my goal for May.

    Yesterday's chill and dreary weather left me lazy and craving comfort food, so I took a break from careful food choices and made a big pot of rigatoni with creamy homemade vodka sauce, some Italian sausages, and an antipasto salad. Then I ate too much, blowing past my calorie, sodium, carb, and fat limits. I even had a small glass of wine. Ah, well...it was just one meal, everyone enjoyed it, and I'm back on track today.

    Rain again, so it's the indoor bike and laundry today.

    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)
    • 3.31.22 maintaining not gaining
    • 4.30.22 barely maintaining
    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
    • registered 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

    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.

    Age 64, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI

    My mother is eating chips and her chocolate candy for dinner. I can't watch! I can taste the chips but I know if I start I won't stop. They are likely stale anyway. But so tempting!

    Just for 'the rest' of today ...
    I will not mind-bash myself for overeating this afternoon. The too-full feeling is enough of a reminder so 'be still my shouting mind'.

    @Anniesquats100 - your mothers dinner is one I would have. :)

    @nsk1951 - no sense in listening to that voice mind bashing.

    I had a great day, cleaned this morning. Ran to the store to get a set of curtains. Ended up buying 3 onesies for the grand baby due in December. I couldn’t resist.

    The afternoon was spent with my girls at ceramics. We came home from there and made homemade pizza while Kaitlyn called her grandparents and my brother to share her news.

    A great day!

    Tomorrow is sunday ... so officially starting over. I don't know what I have to do to get really serious. I'm listening to podcasts .. and I think it is my "self talk" that I need to work on. I am so upset with myself for gaining back what I had lost .. but this is not doing me any good. I need to focus on what I am doing, which is exercising. Instead of beating myself up for gaining weight, and looking at all the things I am doing wrong. Next week I will focus on the positives.
    So I'll start a new week... and vow to do better
    JFT, SUnday, May 8
    1. log my food
    2. concentrate on water ... really slacking on this important thing not only for my health but to lose weight
    3. may challenge .. at least 60 minutes exercise
    4. may challenge .... limit nite time snacking to just 1 small snack
    5. work in the garden
    6. dinner will be grilled burgers and ff ... count out ff and only eat 10, and make small burger
    7. work on fidget quilt
    May challenge

    Yesterday was an odd day, mix of good and not so good. Ended by sitting on a bench throwing a ball for the dog, small pleasures.

    Today I have loads to do, so I'm just working through it. As long as some gets done I'm happy. A more positive day.

    I have yet another cold and a bit of a temperature. About to do a test but pretty sure it's just a cold.

    Will try to be sensible with diet, but son is coming for evening meal and there will be pasta and sticky toffee pudding. I'll get back to it tomorrow

    MAY Challenge
    Walk minimum 150 minutes per week

    Week 1 190/150
    Week 2 /150

    Well after typical Sunday dinner, I am 96 calories in the hole. I will walk that off later. Now it's nap time.

    Well I walked to make up my lunch calories, but then I was hungry again. I had a yogurt so now I'm 107 in the hole. Better than chocolate or cookies. Sundays are always hard for me. But I won't let it get any worse.
