    Well, I was VERY sick for three days. COVID test came back negative, so I guess it was some sort of strange combination of food poisoning and allergies. I started feeling better midday yesterday, so I went out dancing for the first time in years last night! I only stayed for two hours, but it felt good.

    1. Eat breakfast/take morning pills
    2. No grains or sugar
    3. Track food
    4. 10,000 steps

    Monday morning again...and I'm determined to do better this week.
    I had intended weighing myself first thing this morning but I forgot as I was in a rush. My son was on call and got called out to work early, so he had to drop off grandson (and dog!) at 7am. So no excuse not to get going today.
    I have a huge list of things I need to do, enough for the week, so will be working my way through that.

    Lovely weekend with my sister and niece. We had rain on and off but were still able to enjoy some time outdoors. I'm sure I was over on calories on Saturday and Sunday. I didn't log but generally made good choices and kept track of snacks. Skipping the snacks a few days last week helped me keep within my snack budget despite the artisan ice cream and amaretti cookies. But it's back on track today!

    Happy a blessed Sunday y’all!

    Yesterday was a lazy day. I did the cat thing with mom and did a little laundry, but that is pretty much it. I was okay on calories until evening when I decided to have some homemade strawberry ice cream. I was still able to stay under maintenance which is tough on a rest day, so I'm calling that a win.

    Nothing much other than work planned today. Going to go home at lunch to eat since I didn't pack, but that is no biggie. I am dropping off my Garmin to friend after work and then I'm going to go for a 4- 5ish mile walk. I need to get back on top of that now that my plantar fasciitis seems to be better. At least the 5k didn't bother it Saturday. I was a bit sore the next day, but nothing was injured. I guess that is good being that this was an impromptu race. Even if I was just walking, I was walking at a much faster pace than I normally walk. My goal was under 16 min/mile (which I didn't expect to hit), but I'm uber competitive (big surprise there) and there was a lady a good bit ahead of me that I worked to pass the forever. Brought me in at a 15:15 average. I know that is not fast for race walking, but it is fast for Nikki walking when she's this fat... Today's training goal is just to hit the 4-5 mile mark with ~ < 18min/miles just to get my legs used to the distance. It's hot out so this should burn enough calories to allow me to have a treat after dinner (yea!)

    Maybe I'll start cleaning out my office and relocating to my new office. No real news on when my final move will be, but hopefully it will be soon. I have a ton of stuff I need to get lined out.

    Happy Monday y'all!

    Yesterday was very stressful. Mom had an episode of what I can only call paranoid delusion. She texted me to come over because she was terrified. When I got there she was a mess. She was convinced she had sold her house to someone on Facebook and that the money had disappeared from her account. It took me about an hour to convince her that none of this had happened. Her dementia is getting worse sooner than I anticipated. Hopefully, this is an isolated incident, but I need to start preparing for the next steps. She told me last year when she was more on top of things that she wanted to go to a home rather than have someone in her home. Now she thinks she is going to go to her sister's house who is a nurse. She has a whole story about how they have worked this out, but when I talked to my aunt that isn't the case. Delusions are part of the disease I wasn't prepared for. I guess I need to do more research on dementia.

    When I finally got back to work, I was rather distracted and didn't get a lot done. After work I dropped of the watch to a friend and then decided to go for my walk in town. I started from the Y and was going to walk 2 miles to the gas station downtown to get water then head back. Unfortunately, the gas station was 3 miles away not 2 and it was 95 degrees with crazy high humidity and zero shade. I got way low on fluids before I got to the water stop. Hubby happened to call while I was getting water and decided me walking the 3 miles back in the heat was not a good idea, so I cut my walk short. 3 miles is better than no miles...

    Dinner was yummy, but I ate an extra helping of mac & cheese. Didn't take me over calories, but I really didn't need to eat it. I was even full, I just wanted it and there was only one spoon left in the pan... I felt miserable. When will I learn?

    This morning was a little crazy. Sierra's car is in the shop so she is taking my car to work which means I took Vanessa's car to work. Vanessa's car had a low tire. I went to the gas station to put air in it and the air pump was broken. Luckily Tim pulled in and pumped the tire with a bike pump.

    @pridesabtch so sorry to hear about your mom's delusions. My mom is going down that road, but not so far yet. She gets afraid of the dark and the house being unlocked. We have an appointment for a memory evaluation, but she doesn't want to go. My dad still listens to her, unfortunately, so that makes it harder. Anyway, you are doing good work to care for her. It's mentally strenuous.

    I had a Gynae appointment yesterday that did not go as planned. Slept badly and was very stiff and sore this morning. I have to go back again in another 8-12 weeks, and have to take it easy until then. At least I have had a better day today.

    @pridesabtch I'm so sorry your mom's health is getting worse. It's very hard for you to see, and not knowing what to expect next. And an extra hassle getting organizations to accept your POA, honestly some of the places I took mine to acted like they'd never seen one before.

    @TerriRichardson112 sorry your medical appointments are not going well, hope you feel a bit better today.

    JFT Tuesday 14th June

    Log everything yes, had to estimate lunch but estimated high
    Stay in the green yes
    Back exercises no
    Foot exercises yes. Plantar fascitis is not completely gone but is much improved, took around 2 years?
    Walk an hour with friend, then 21 minutes in the evening
    Mow lawn no, did more urgent gardening
    Gardening started digging out large weeds which have been annoying me
    Proper evening meal yes

    I had a lovely walk in the country with a friend and her dog, then we went to a new small cafe and sat outside among the trees. It was really nice but there was nothing on the very small menu which was low calorie. We had coffee and cake, and very nice it was too :) Estimated 500 calories for it.
    I also did more outside jobs, some gardening (big job which will be split into smaller parts), some phone calls and forms completed re parents estate. So felt like I'd achieved something.
    Today I'm going to the osteopath, so will do physical jobs this morning and paperwork and phone calls in the afternoon while resting.

    JFT Wednesday 15th June

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Foot exercises
    Clear some things from parents garage
    Laundry
    Gardening
    Paperwork
    To Do list

    Walking Challenge - 150 minutes per week
    Week 1 270/150 :)
    Week 2 208/150 :)
    Week 3 /150

    Limit Snacking Challenge ( 1050 calories per week)
    Week 1 1294/1050 :(
    Week 2 646/1050 :)

    3) GA-S deactivation reports testing :)& David's status update he didn't send / finish office summarization :smiley: yay! / update records request & inquiries reference sheet no time
    4) Order supper for Th concert (another block by workplace network) / register for F webinar from home computer (blocked by workplace network) didn't realize cost / email P / wash dishes / another ta-da? emptied kitchen compost into bin, started grocery list
    5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / pray & Calm fell asleep too soon / 6:00 alarm (PT exercises before work) :) 4/5

    JFT W 6/15 ~ yay, it's Hump Day!
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley: another heat advisory day, temps mid 70s when I woke up, so no dog walk
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    3) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
    4) Clean up reference docs for GA-S / update records request & inquiries reference sheet (would've really helped if someone had done this last year) / start video review for BJ follow-up / register for online training req'd by mgmt
    5) Schedule finance advisor meeting / email P / wash dishes (some before work done) / concert in park 7:30 if storms hold off / another ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / pray & Calm / 5:45 alarm (walk dog before work)

    Yesterday's hike was truly an adventure. We got halfway around the small lake (saw a snowy egret, sandhill crane, families of ducks & geese swimming) on nice trail. Went a little farther, realized the trail ended. Thought we'd pick up the trail in a little ways (it was supposed to go completely around), but ended up bushwhacking through increasingly thick brush & saplings. All on a "heat advisory" day, temp in upper 80s with high humidity. Leader Sue & the four of us laughingly pushed on, finally found the other end of trail which had been cleared up to that point. Back at the start, we guzzled water.

    When I returned to office, I did a tick check and found one on hem of my pants & freaked out slightly. I HATE ticks. Decided to do more thorough check, found one inside pants starting to attach on my thigh, and another fell (out of my hair?) onto my hand. Called in my two most favorite co-workers, who helped remove the attached tick and made sure I had no more. My outdoorsman/hunter co-worker confirmed they were wood ticks, not the deer ticks that cause Lyme disease. I felt creepy crawly for the rest of the afternoon. LOL

    This morning I submitted my GA-S project to a$$t. manager for review, three weeks late, and I'm never late. Although I'd questioned the deadline (with her) since the beginning over two months ago. It was the first time a single auditor was assigned the project, in the past it was always 2-3 staff. As I worked on it, I realized what $hitty jobs by incompetent staff were done the past two years. Her only word to me this morning was "Finally!" Sorry for venting, enough bitching about work. I looked at my countdown app, and know in four months I will be retired. Yay! Mgmt doesn't know that yet, they never ask about my intentions. Or seem to care.
    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
    • 5.31.22 ack
    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
    • Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine :star: happy me
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K on 10/1/22
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22
    • 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

    I've had a crazy busy day.
    Last night our fridge packed in.
    I kept it shut and it lasted the night just enough for the kids to have milk in their cereal this morning.
    I'm completely skint. So I posted on a neighbourhood app thing to see if anyone had a spare and could deliver. They can't deliver but they've got a fridge. I'm not anxiously waiting for my brother to get home from work before 8.30 to take me to get it as he has a van.

    On top of that I had our family support worker cone round to help me write a letter to appeal ash's health benefit that they took him off.
    She gave me.loads of pointers and how to write it out. And when she left I beasted out 7 pages of A4 as to why their decision was wrong. My hand aches. Funny how little you write as an adult lol!

    But that's finished so other than the fridge. I've just got all my fingers and toes crossed that my brother's home on time
