I did fifteen minutes of beginner cardio! Yay! I wasn't panting like I expected. My knee will be the limiting factor. That's okay as long as it gets stronger and not injured again. I'm excited! Yay!

Okay I ate Sunday Dinner and now I need to walk 46 minutes to make the calories come out right. But first, a nap.

JFT Sunday
1. No candy yes
2. No cookies yes
3. Eat under calorie limit yes
4. Walk 30 mins yes
5. Try some aerobic form of marching for a few minutes yes
6. Dye my hair (from the other list) yes
I did everything today! Yay! I had the same high calorie Sunday dinner but I walked 46 minutes to make up the calories. I have 9 left! So as long as I don't eat anything tonight, I'm good.
It was a lot of walking especially after that aerobic marching. But my knee held up. Yay!
JFT Monday
1. No candy
2. No cookies
3. Eat under calorie limit
4. Yoga
5. Walk 30 mins
6. Do something from the other list
I'm going out to lunch Thursday so I need to eat at a deficit to make room for that. It will likely ruin Friday's weigh-in with sodium. Hmm.3 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow.1

Week 1 180/150
Week 2 0/150
Week 3 /1502 -
The weekend was a bit rubbish. Didn't log at all.
But new week. New start.
Log as I'm eating. That's the key for me. Because if I don't I forget. And trying to remember a whole days worth of food to log is very unappealing so I just don't do it.
I've downloaded a 30 day challenge app. So going to try that out too! Think first one is lose belly fat. Could be a gimmick but it's still getting me to exercise either way!
I think exercise is really what I need to do. My diet isn't spot on so need to get some movement going if I want to see any sort of results!
Hope everyone's having a good day. Will post later with what I've achieved! Xx2 -
JFT M 5/16
1) PT exercises before work
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
3) Supper? / net calories zero / 96 oz. water
4) Keep going on GA-S testing & F&Ds / request PA-E&T 6 mo follow-up records / request records from financial analyst / set up Warehouse visit
5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / pray & Calm / 5:45 alarm (walk dog before work)
Sat. I was so active: walked dog 3.19 miles, spread wood chips (from neighbor two doors down, she got two loads free from area tree service) on rose garden & front mini-garden, along with hubby got out patio set, grill, etc. and set everything up, washed big pile o' dishes, packed up & put all Easter decoration boxes in basement. Realized marathon route surrounded church Sunday a.m. so just in time for online live Sat. evening service. After that I was completely tuckered out, so we ate take out from Olive Garden, and I zonked out on couch watching TV.
Sun. was opposite of very active: watched CBS Sunday Morning, read, washed Easter decorative dishes, moved winter clothes to storage & put summer clothes in closet, depooped backyard. Then completely lazy day, not even 5K steps. Last night crap sleep, worrying about work deadline that I'm not likely to make next week. Couldn't get up early enough for dog walk today, but did PT instead.

Goal 1: PT exercises 4-5 days per week
Week 1: {more dog walks instead}

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)

- 4.30.22 barely maintaining
- 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
- 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
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 -
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.

My legs have very mild achiness this morning. So I think that mile of fast marching is about right. I'm going to do yoga and a gentle walk today, and try the fast marching again on Wednesday. And my dumbbells Tuesday night per usual. I do them every other day because my recovery time seems to be that slow. Maybe that will change.
And I will weigh myself Thursday before I go out instead of Friday. I sneaked a peak today: down .8 since Friday! Yay!
I'm slow to get moving today. There's a storm front coming in, so I'm likely to have a headache later. I better get up and do something!

@Anniesquats100 I have problems with my knees also...one of them has bone-on-bone arthritis. So, I have a difficult time walking any distance and if I do manage to take a nice long walk, I'm usually down for the next day or two. So frustrating! You are doing really good! Keep 'er going!
@Bex953172 I forgot to mention how darn cute you look in the photo with you holding the puppy! You are doing good, lady! I don't know how much things go for on Etsy. But I'd sure love to get good enough at something to try selling something on there. LOL! My husband sells the wooden things he makes on there but it's just sporadically one here and there...
@cschmitz110515 You got a lot done on your yard! You deserved a day of rest yesterday! Sure was a nice weekend for it. We planted tomatoes in container pots and flowers this weekend. Happy, Happy, Happy!

Still no meds, but trying to do what I can in the mean time. I am still losing weight, which is crazy, but I will take it! I am employing what I learned before from years of tracking--low-carb is a must for me. New motto: no grains=no pain! Also no sugar, except for 1 serving fruit per day. In the past I have aimed for under 100G or 75G carbs per day, but if I can go lower, that will be better. At this point I just have to lose as fast as possible.
JFT for Monday 5-16:
1. Eat breakfast/take morning pills
2. No grains or sugar
3. Track food
4. Track exercise
5. Take a gentle walk (should stop raining today)
6. 8 C water
7. No caffeine after noon
8. 8000 steps
9. 5+ freggies
10. Keep working on improving sleep...got a Fitbit sleep score of 80 for the first time ever last night!1 -
I had goals over the weekend, but didn't write them down. Saturday they revolved around house cleaning, which I got done. Sunday I skipped church to watch my girl row on ESPN+. It was cool seeing her on TV I actually took pictures of the TV my younger daughter found that hilarious. After the races I went an bought some new plant stands for outside then went to the local farm/greenhouse and bought some baskets of flowers for outside. Once Tim and I finished that, we went for a bike ride. That pretty well sums up the weekend, food was iffy, but the weekend was good.
Today I have to audit ALLLLLL day long. It's lunch time now. I grabbed a healthy bag of Cheez-its (lol) and thought I'd check in. After work if it stops raining I may do some yard work if it is raining maybe I'll clean the floors downstairs (that was on hubby's weekend list, but he wasn't feeling great).

So far so good today! Had my dinner. Kinda of good job I had a late breakfast. Cause it meant I skipped lunch and so I have enough calories now for the day. Got 380 left (Including calories burnt).
Although I'm going to try not snack tonight. I really need to swap it for something healthy.1 -
Hour commitment - After I finish my cabbage salad, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. Can still have my dose of metamusal. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch.1

Well I'm out of salad so I skipped it on today's list, but I just ate broccoli instead. Yay for veggies! So I'm done eating for today.
We are expecting a severe thunderstorm at my parents' dinnertime. Hope the power stays on! Otherwise it's peanut butter sandwiches for dinner.

The storm seems to have missed us entirely! We get the Philadelphia forecasts which aren't always right for Delaware. Anyway the power is on.
I have 271 calories left and the cookies are calling my name. But I want to save those calories for Thursday so I can have a big juicy hamburger and fries. I have to remember that thirty seconds of eating cookies is not worth the mental anguish of missing my goals. They are like icebergs - you try to excuse the first cookie, but there are seven more you don't see coming, and those will sink my diet ship. Anyway, it won't hurt me to be a little hungry. I could always have more broccoli. Or an apple. Maybe later.
I wonder if veggie egg rolls are nutritious. That sounds really good. I might look for them tomorrow.

Dragging a bit today after staying up late to observe the lunar eclipse. We lucked out with the weather, so I sat outdoors enjoying the mild weather. It was quite a show! Thunderstorms rolled in this afternoon, so I settled for nearly an hour on the indoor bike.
Summer classes have started this week, so I'm quite busy again. I haven't been making great food choices - leftover Chinese for lunch today and too many snacks again. I really should get back to logging and setting some daily goals. Maybe tomorrow.

Stay under maintenance yes
Only one snack 2
Clean out fridge, plan healthy food reasonable food apart from snacks, didn't do fridge
Walk 34 mins, cut it short as the rain started just after I went out
Paperwork/bills/emails yes
Housework some
Ironing done half
It's just after lunchtime and I've done almost nothing so far. Every night I think about what I'm going to accomplish the next day, but come the next day I only do the urgent stuff. Today I'd planned to drive into town and get a few plants at the garden centre, then take some lunch down to the beach. Even when it's still cold I can eat in the car. But I just didn't go. I don't know how to get some enthusiasm back, I'm so tired all the time.
