    I had a really off-plan, off-goal day today. I think it's safe to say I didn't do anything I planned to do. UGH. I'd like to blame the gray skies and dreary weather, but all fluffy bull-*kitten* excuses aside, I just didn't hold myself responsible today. I didn't drink my water. I ate cookies when I wanted. I sat on my butt and watched Amazon Prime movies all day. I even changed out of my jeans and put my pj bottoms on at like 2:00 pm.

    I don't know why I cannot seem to hold myself to a regimen that I know helps me feel healthier when I follow it! It's the definition of crazy...doing the same things and expecting different results.

    Tomorrow is a new day, though! Progress, not perfection. That's the key! :mrgreen:

    So.....Just for FRIDAY!
    1. Make a 24H plan.
    2. Set up cozy space downstairs for No BS Weightloss March Virtual Camp weekend that starts at noon
    3. Drink at least 64 oz of water.
    4. Prepare easy grab meals and snacks for breaks during the No BS camp
    5. Run to Dollar Tree or Dollar General for colored pens, sticky notes & beverages, and go to Pick & Save for mom's flowers. Drop off flowers for mom.
    6. 30 minutes intentional activity.
    7. Bed by 9pm to read and relax.

    Log everything yes
    Stay in the green yes! :)
    Back exercises no, must do better

    Admin! a little bit, more to do
    Keep house clearing yes
    Walk, even if it's at night short walk at night, so I could eat some ice cream!

    I did much better yesterday. Ate good foods and made myself walk. I wanted a biscuit when I came home from parents house, but told myself I only had enough calories left for my evening meal and resisted. I still really want that feeling of eating something, so morning and afternoon I had a snack of ONE crisp, eaten slowly lol. Then I didn't feel deprived!

    Have a happy Thursday y'all! Take care!

    Good day yesterday. I ended up working late so I wasn't sure I was going to get my walk/run (wog) in. Nobody showed up for spin, so I rode for about 20 minutes then left and went to the park to wog. I definitely did not wear the correct bra to run in. The girls were like a 20 pound weight bouncing on my chest, but I got it done. It's a slow process, and my knees are none to happy with me, but I'm sticking to the plan. The knees are fine with a little ibuprofen so I'm hoping I just need to get used to running again.

    Work is still a mess, but I'll get through it.

    My sister-in-law is in town so we've been going over to my in-laws the past few nights for dinner. I can't tell you how nice it is not to have to decide what's for dinner and not have to clean up after. We tend to get there after the main group has eaten, so we just reheat the meal on a paper plate and wash the silverware. Have I mentioned that I love my in-laws. They are boring as all get out, but they are so nice.

    Recap R 3/24
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley: Rushing through early morning, realizing I need to allow more time, since more reps & new stretches added, especially with pet duties when I first get up. Would help if I didn't hit snooze alarm LOL.
    2) Move hourly / pace during webinars :) 7.4K 17 floors 14/14 boom!
    3) Net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water :smiley: -198, sodium green, fiber protein calcium all excellent & 96 oz. water ~ lots better than recent days yay
    4) Webinars 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 / complete, pdf & digitally sign webinar summary forms / submit forms with CPEs if certs provided immediately wait 4-6 weeks for certs??? GAH! / Facebook Live video / BC-CC finish testing / BC-CC testing summary MORE "other stuff" geez / emails current = 4/7
    5) Reschedule haircut (uncle's funeral prob. that day) / laundry / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? started but never finished = 3/4
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:15 alarm (PT exercises before work) = 2/6 just too lazy

    JFT TGIF 3/25
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley: thrilled that my knee is feeling "almost" normal, first time in over 2 months, thanks be to God
    2) Move hourly
    3) Leftovers for lunch? / Schwan's for supper? / net calories <200 red / 96 oz. water
    4) BC-CC finish testing ~ c'mon! / BC-CC complete testing summary / start BC-CC report draft / update Project Status s/s / update & submit weekly PAR, PRO & HW s/s's / emails current
    5) Walk dog to park? / put away rest of clean laundry / check DVR / declutter 15 min. / meal plan & grocery list / another ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. (no plans either)

    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)
    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
    • 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
    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

    Not feeling great. No goals today.

    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!

    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
