    Fiber and water consumption were both better than they were yesterday, although still not quite up to where I’d like them to be. Also got a clean bill of health from the dentist today so my anxiety is hugely relieved.

    Tomorrow’s goals will be to improve the fiber and water consumption over today.

    The amount of water consumed stayed the same, fiber went down because I’ve felt sick all day today. Tomorrow my goal is to drink 40 ounces of water and eat at least 1200 total calories.

    Hey everyone! Busy day today. Had to take Saskia to the opticians for minor eye injury. One eye has been small and sore and sensitive to light for 2 weeks. I initially thought it was hayfever but when I noticed it was just the one eye I rang the drs and they said go to the opticians as they have the right equipment. So, got her at 10.30am from school. They referred her to the specialist at the hospital and to wait for a call so she went back to school. I got the phonecall to go to the hospital at 4.30. so caught the bus there and my friend brought home the younger two to ash.

    It was plastic. A small piece of plastic that had stuck to her eye and was basically stuck near her pupil. They had to use a numbing eye drop and then a cotton bud to try get it to shift. (And failing that she would have had to be put to sleep and she did NOT want that, and neither did I) It took about 25 minutes. She was so scared even though she couldn't feel it. But bless her, she was so brave and she sat on my knees saying "I can do it I can do it I can do it" over and over and bless her, she did it (the Dr said her bravery was so emotional and she was very proud)
    She managed to move the plastic to a point where it will just clear itself. And she now has eye drops for the abrasion from where the plastic was. And a check up on Friday x

    That was stressful for both of you. Eyes are so delicate.

    Dog is favoring her right front leg, hubby thinks she may have hurt it chasing tennis balls he was throwing. Hopefully no vet visit will be necessary, but we'll keep an eye on her. She and Kitty are our babies. No dog walk this morning & sad me. Lazy me = no PT exercises either. Ack.

    Recap R 7/21
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / pace during webinar :) 8K 28 floors 12/14
    2) Box dinner at concert & log best guess / 1 beer / net calories not horrible red / 96 oz. water :D not too shabby & I enjoyed my beer, net cals -326, sodium green (?), fiber spot on, protein low-ish, carbs ok, calcium low, 80 oz water
    3) Update GA-S F&Ds for info rec'd late yesterday ~ in progress / print & organize GA-S Communications folder no time / Facebook Live video canceled / webinar 2-3 / complete webinar summary form, pdf & digitally sign / download/print CPE cert & submit with form / submit wellness incentive form / submit leave request for Kitty's physical / submit medical appt for mammo / catch up emails ~ not worse LOL
    4) Leave home by 5 / pick up dinner & concert 6 ~ a hot, fun night with Big Mouth & the Power Tool Horns / any ta-da? TA-DA!
    5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / retainers / pray & Calm / early alarm (walk dog? PT exercises?) too tired/lazy

    JFT TGIF 7/22
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks

    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
    • 6.30.22 ups & downs in June, but no worse at end of month
    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
    • Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
    • Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept)
    • 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 ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Yesterday was a good day. Tried something new for dinner. Cauliflower crust pizza. The brand that was recommended was Outer Aisle. As long as it was crisp it was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised.

    Took today off, for no real reason other than I didn’t want to go to work and it was supposed to be nice outside. Think I’ll go for a bike ride. Haven’t had much energy on this new eating plan, but I miss riding.

    Hi everyone! I hope you're all managing okay in this heat. Here in NJ, it's been in the 90's all week with no rain, making it extra hard to get anything done outdoors. This has also been a tough week emotionally. One of my younger cousins passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind three beautiful kids, all teens. She was only 51 and such a vibrant person. Although we weren't that close in age, we'd grown up in a tight-knit extended family in the same neighborhood. In fact, I often babysat for her and her siblings. Just heartbreaking.

    I've completely fallen off the healthy eating and exercise path. Between not wanting to cook in the heat and being in a funk, I've been eating a lot of junk. I'm usually not an emotional eater, but I was just so drained on the day of the funeral that I had ice cream and cheez-its for dinner. The rest of the week hasn't been much better: donut for breakfast, cookies instead of a sandwich, more ice cream to make up for skipping a meal...and no meaningful exercise. It hasn't been pretty. Time to stop the slide and get back to goals and healthy habits.

    So for the rest of the day...
    Hydrate
    Make healthier food choices
    Catch up on posts

    Hope you all have a great weekend!

    Tomorrow my goal is to drink 40 ounces of water and eat at least 1200 total calories.

    Made both goals by the skin of my teeth, but I’m still calling it a win. Tomorrow I’ll aim to cook myself a healthy meal and drink 40 oz of water.

    @pridesabtch I've not played darts for yeaaaaars.
    But when I do, it's lethal. I'm no good at it. Don't have any technique other than "throw it as hard as I can" 😂😂😂 which naturally leaves people stepping back a bit hahaha


    Update on sask: top layer of eye cells have healed (in just 2 days! Wow) but has left scarring but it's nothing to worry about, the Dr said that it would fade in time and doesn't seem to be affecting her vision and can reduce her ointment from 4 times per day to 2


    Anyone heard off @mytime6630 lately? I'm not sure I've seen any recent posts? Unless I've missed it!

    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: 212.6

    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 July 11 10 AM. PCP Oct 21 10:30 TEL. Therapy 7/28 8A. Obgyn Oct 14 12:45.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 16 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. I just... I like food. UGHHH.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    Tomorrow I’ll aim to cook myself a healthy meal and drink 40 oz of water.

    No cooking for me tonight - lunch made my stomach really upset for no discernible reason. Feeling a bit better now, but scared to eat anything too exciting for dinner and it’s too late to cook anything anyway. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Still a few more hours to get to my water goal - 16 more ounces to drink.

    Back to posting goals. I'm putting on weight and I've got 6 weeks of school holidays ahead of me. My aim is to lose 5lbs in a month. So I'm weighing in tomorrow as I ate so much junk food last night it's not gonna be pretty.

    So JFT Sunday

    - Log all food
    - 8 waters
    - No sugary snacks
    - Exercise if I can (dropped a huge glass jug full of water on my big toe, it's bruised and a bit sore, so will have to see how I go)

    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: 210.2

    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 July 11 10 AM. PCP Oct 21 10:30 TEL. Therapy 7/28 8A. Obgyn Oct 14 12:45.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 16 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?

    I actually cooked tonight (chicken stir fry with brown and wild rice)! Tasted pretty good too. Overall calorie count was still lower than I wanted.

    Goals for tomorrow: 40 oz of water, 10 grams of fiber, work on upper body strength (20 push-ups)

    So JFT Sunday

    - Log all food ✔️ yep, not pretty though.
    - 8 waters ❌ need to work on this!
    - No sugary snacks❌ this was yesterday's downfall.
    - Exercise if I can✔️ used my resistance band to do some arm exercises.


    Okay so I'm feeling pretty rubbish about yesterday. I did really well. But I was just still hungry. I tried first with healthy snack like chopped carrot and cucumber and still wanted more. And that's when all the rubbish snacks came in.


    I've actually only ate 200 over my allowance. But before the snacking began I was just over 12,00 which was a bonus for me (my limit is 1500) but I've had an idea.
    Any calories I eat over, I have to exercise off the next day. So today I need to burn off my snacking the night before. I'm hoping it will firstly deter me from snacking because I know I'll have to work it off the next day.

    What do you guys think? I know it's a bit backwards but would that even work?

    Forgot to add, I'm also going to close the kitchen at 10pm. No more food. Between 10pm and 12 are my worst snacking times, so, I'm just gonna close the kitchen then lol.

    And I did weigh in today. 172 :( only 15lbs away from my highest weight. I've put on half of what I lost. Which is... Discouraging but I'm positive I can do this.
