    Hi all, I'm still not up to doing JFT goals. I feel like crud. I think my body is taking this thing worse than my husband. He seems mostly over it. I am getting coughing fits, but have started to sleep in snatches so yay?

    @beachwalker99 Thank you for the nice words.
    @TerriRichardson112 Thanks for the kind words - yeah it seems like more people are getting 'glittered' lately. At least we got the mild one this time, right?

    @Janele0627 That's neat that you have a shop! I hope it goes well!

    @clicketykeys Good job on your first day back!

    @cschmitz110515 Sorry to hear about troubles with jobs (we had that here a bit ago) but it's good that you two are talking and working together. I think that makes a big difference.


    So basically group, participating in daily goals isn't happening, unless you count "just stop coughing and get better". I need to get packing!!!
    Sorry if I missed stuff, I am just too tired to catch up.

    @MrsHermit I hope you feel better soon, and can get back to your packing. Just before lockdown I packed by myself for a DIY move. 25 years of family home to pack/give away. It took ages! Will you be building your own house on your plot of land?

    @AJB1014 lovely to "see" you back again.

    @beachwalker99 that's a very impressive model. I think that's the first time I've seen a lego project as a goal, love it!

    @Faebert I understand the pressures of being a single parent. Looks to me that you're doing really well though. I too tried to find a gas/electric deal at the weekend, everything on offer was over 50% more expensive so ended up doing nothing. Glad your cat is recovering.

    @MLHC1 you have so much on, I think you're doing great with the amount you're accomplishing.

    @mytime6630 I hope your back heals up soon.

    @cschmitz110515 good to hear that you and hubby have made positive decisions regarding work.

    @Snowflake1968 love the model house! Hope 2022 is the year your back is fixed for good.

    @TerriRichardson112 wow, your figures are great. You are an inspiration for us to keep going!

    @Bex953172 if you have a Macdonalds at midnight which day do you log it lol

    @pridesabtch Hugs to you, it can be so difficult . If I'm honest, I really don't want to do this. I don't want to think about food, or count calories. It's winter and it's cold. But I know I need to lose weight, sigh... We can both so this!

    I need to get back to posting goals to push me to do better. I am so fed up with myself just now. Completely fed up with thinking life would be so much better if I lost a stone...how long am I going to think like that? I need to just do it! My knees are so stiff and painful, I feel like I'm getting old before my time.

    I've been busy doing some decorating after the storm damage (I didn't want to do that either, but was glad after I'd pushed myself to get it done). Now I need a tradesman to finish the job before I can clean and open it up for holidays again.

    I was told last Tuesday that my mother's care home had covid cases so all visiting was cancelled. Then on Sunday they told me that my mother has covid. It's a worrying time.

    I'm hoping if I post simple goals I'll get back into the way of it.

    JFT Tuesday 11th January

    Stay under maintenance
    Only one snack
    Eat some veg!
    Short walk
    Grocery shopping
    Collect dog

    4) Supper ~ fish out of freezer at lunch? yes / net calories zero / 112 oz. water :smiley: -5 close enough, sodium good yay, fiber & protein spot on, sugar high (finishing up Christmas chocolate LOL), 112 oz.
    5) Call mom & dad in evening <3 wonderful chat & she's healing from 1/7 skin cancer surgery on nose ~ can't wait to visit on her 85th bday later this month / place citrus order / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / wash dishes / clean toilets / organize clothes for workplace lunchtime hike on Tues. / prep lunch / another ta-da? yes TA-DA = 8/9
    6) Unplug 9:00 :/ 9:15 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:50 alarm (treadmill before work) = 4/6

    JFT T 1/11

    Hubby submitted his resignation yesterday. Counting down the days to 1/28 ~ yay!

    The workplace winter hike on park trails at lunchtime today has been canceled. The Adventures Dept. has a rule that prohibits outdoor activities if the temperatures are below zero (-18C) with the wind chill. Although temps are warming a little, we still have wind and are in the deep freeze. Sad me.

    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
    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
    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
    • registered for Frenzy on the Fox 5K on 1.21.22
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22
    • 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

    Got off to a good start yesterday morning, but my motivation to get things done seemed to evaporate after lunch. Spring convocation is a week from today, and classes start next Wednesday. I know next week will be easier and less stressful if get a lot done before this weekend, but I'm just not feeling it. Organization is not my strong suit. I'm more of a non-linear thinker (webs or clusters as opposed to lists), so I struggle with setting and sticking to priorities when I have too much going on. I'm also a terrible procrastinator, and sometimes having more time just seems to make things worse.

    Ah, well... I'm not going to berate myself for yesterday. I'll give it another shot today. And maybe I need to rethink the way I set goals and evaluate progress.

    - Take V to school :smiley:
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Work stuff (been a very productive morning so far) :smiley:
    - Pick up V & Ain from school :smiley:
    - Ride the damn bike :(
    - Football stuff :smiley:
    - Bed shortly after the game :smiley:

    Ok, so I didn't ride the "damn bike" instead I took a glorious nap. I have no regrets, but I do need to do better. It's weird I don't like to exercise at home, but it is what I have time for. Once I do it, I'm glad I did.

    I've been crazy busy with work today, which makes rime go by fast, but when I'm very productive like this I run into walls where I have to wait for others. Then I sit and try to find things to do, like catch up on MFP, but it's like time sloooooows down. Like 8:00 to 12:00 zoomed by. Now it seems like I've been idle for hours, but it's only 12:52... Ugh.

    @littleblackskirt - thank you. I hope that your mum is ok and I’m sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

    Hope everyone else who is poorly is on the mend. Roll on Spring, it can definitely be hard to find the motivation at the moment. I just keep gritting my teeth and telling myself ‘summer bodies are made in January’ 😂

    A decent day today. I don’t feel like I’m doing enough exercise as it’s so much less than I used to do. But I have to remind myself to be humble and accept where I am. Since my fittest days I have had major surgery, caught covid, then experienced a personal trauma that led to some depression, and then last month put myself out for another couple of weeks with an injury. So where I am now is where I am, and it has to be enough. I am on my way…

    7. Afternoon: Laundry. Unload/reload dishwasher.
    8. Evening: Livestream. Post on WD. Dinner: Pizza. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water! Chop celery. Update JFT.
    9. Bedtime: Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: crunches, push-ups, squats, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth.
    10. Upcoming: Wed/Sat livestreams. MH Monday check-in; Tough Question Tuesday; Whatever Wednesday AMA; Thankful Thursday. S&F script work. Clois. Theater 1/12. Dentist 5/12. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Conf Thurs 1/13. Start planning Saturday Seven for 1/22 6 PM. Yoga at library 1/15 10:00; then volunteering. Need to patch the flamingo dress. Where are my patches?

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: 197.2

    Ongoing plans/ideas
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for GR purchase list.
    2. E2: Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
    6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Jan 12 7P.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. Breathing. Breathing. Breathing.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    About me:
    age 36
    BMI obese
    Highest known weight 262.2 lbs
    Current weight lower 240s (lost weight due to sickness)


    @littleblackskirt Thank you. I finally slept last night and the coughing fits are getting fewer so that's a good sign. 25 years of memories and items is a whole lot to pack! Glad you got it done though. Yes, we'll be building our own little home/outbuildings on the land. Due to several circumstances like certain packs of critters and local weather issues, we had to bite the bullet and buy a little shed to just get started in (not our dwelling place but we'll camp out for awhile). We had hoped to save money just camping out but we know that the shed was the best decision based on the facts. Besides, it helps slow things down once it's there - we're out of the elements and away from certain risk factors. I'm starting to get excited, despite all our resources evaporating - it's another part of our adventure! Oh and we won't be doing stick frame building, but a shuttered cob (without the straw or bags, with some concrete put in the mixture) with an insulating layer in the middle. Less expensive and works for us!
    (((hugs))) sorry about your mom
    sorry about your struggles with health, motivation, and goals. Sometimes I just have to put on a favorite song and do 1 single miniscule thing. Just one foot in front of the other.

    @cschmitz110515 Thank you. I think I'm over the worst now thankfully.

    @tech_hunter Welcome! Congratulations on reaching Onederland! (below 200)

    Well wishes for everybody struggling with health and goals. Don't give up! Tomorrow is another day. You don't have to accomplish everything, just try 1 thing.

    Today I slept (still sick), fought with some payment problem (was less gracious than I could have been - sorry call center person), slept again, felt well enough to get dressed, did the water routine (filters etc), made tea, laundry, dishes, got DH to help with a few things, got 1 great piece of expected mail delivered (yay relief), started dinner; feel tired and unwell. DH is watching scary movies (I really don't like them) Going to attempt journaling tonight and maybe start packing a few boxes

    @littleblackskirt - our staff have some cases too. We are all fully vaccinated. I hope your Mom has a mild case.

    @cschmitz110515 - did your hubby summit his resignation due to the problems last week? Is he retiring or going to look for work elsewhere?

    @beachwalker99 - “I’m also a terrible procrastinator, and sometimes having more time just seems to make things worse”. - Amen sister! I am the same!

    I’m late again today. It’s after 10 here. I took the tree and village down this evening. It’s Rodger’s birthday so we ordered in.

    I have to go to work early tomorrow. Payroll still isn’t done.

    So time got away from me yesterday. My daughter was in a talkative mood after school. She is 16 so when she wants to talk I try to make sure to take the time to listen. She had her first break up last week and now her friend group is all awkward. It's tough for her because it's like everyone is choosing the other friend over her. And she was disappointed that she got 2nd in the Social Studies Fair, by 1 point. She didn't redo her abstract to reflect her new project and that was the difference in the scores. Now she doesn't get to take her project to the County Fair unless she can find a partner to do it with her (makes it a different category). In addition to these things, her shoulder slipped out of socket the other night, and she is worried the surgery didn't work and they'll need to go back in. It's a lot for a 16yo girl, and there is absolutely nothing I can do to fix it. Breaks my mommy heart. So anyway, I didn't cook dinner and I didn't ride the "damn bike", but she is more important so it's ok.

    What I did do yesterday is agree to go back to the YMCA and start teaching spin again during tax season to sub for one of the regular instructors. I'm fat and out of shape, but I can still call a mean class. This means I will have no choice but to exercise. It will be rough at first and my pride will take a mighty hit, but I think it's what I need right now. A hard kick in the rump. I'll need to get recertified through the Y, but I'm not sure what their current requirements are. CPR was always bare minimum, and then Group Exercise Cert. neither of which I currently have. We'll see how it goes. Either way starting tomorrow I'm going to start attending classes to get back in the swing of things. Also gotta get my Amazon Music account back up and running so I can make play lists. I'm actually really excited about this.

    No real plans for today. Finally got my new laptop at work to work... Well at least in my Delrin Office, I still need a new docking station for it to work in my other office and at home. Also got a heater for my office and the ceiling tile replaced. Much better now.

    @tech_hunter Welcome! Always nice to have more join JFT. It's a great group for accountability and support.

    @Snowflake1968 Hubby turns 62 in several weeks, and his job is physically hard on him. For months, we had already been talking about him unofficially "retiring" or going part-time on his bday. Not related to his job, he has been training online with 3D software, an outlet for his artistic talent, and real passion of his. We're hoping when he does that full-time, it will generate income. Time will tell. The resignation date was decided by him with my blessing last weekend based on work issues not improving, but getting worse.

    Hubby update: Work issues (related to 1st shift personnel) were making the job intolerable for him; he was 2nd shift supervisor & had to deal with them. Even though he had already submitted his resignation, when he turned up for 2nd shift yesterday, he was terminated immediately. This was based on another B.S. write-up by 1st shift supervisor. Hubby had worked for 5+ years there without a single write-up, and this supervisor of less than 1 year wrote hubby up 3 times. Hubby was angry when I got home, but we were able to talk, and tried to count all the positives this means. Just an earlier date. Now hubby is able to devote himself full-time to completing the online training for his 3D software, and will continue to create his characters. It truly is an outlet for his artistic talents, and a passion of his. We hope when he submits his creations, it will generate income into both our retirements. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for letting me vent.

    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
    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
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
