    Goals for 8/31
    - meet calorie goal (1300) ✅ - just barely
    - Meet work goals (2 meetings, 5 items off my to-do list) ✅
    - Write ❌
    - Update resume and post on LinkedIn ❌
    - Apply for craft shows ✅
    - Strength training ✅
    - Yoga ✅
    - Watch one writing webinar ❌

    Just didn’t have enough energy to get it all done today. Why do I keep getting in the way of my own goals of getting a new job and making a living off my writing?

    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)

    • 8.2.22 up again ~ gah! (lazy in July & ate whatever I wanted)
    • 9.1.22 not doing so great eating-wise
    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) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks, tree roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill... have decided not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me)
    • watch for other events to add
    • maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
    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

    I seriously can't believe it's only Thursday. It has to at least be Friday. Well there is a football game on tonight that I want to watch, WVU vs Pitt. It's called the Backyard Brawl it goes back to the days when they were in the same conference, the Big East. I'm routing for my alma mater, WVU, but they haven't looked to good the past few seasons, so my hopes aren't high. Trying to decide if I'm going to have a beer this evening, as it is tradition. Of course, I think vodka may have fewer calories. Hmmm, food for thought.

    Was seriously busy today, and see no end at hand, so I'm just going to call it a day. It's kind of late for goals, but I'm going to post them anyway.

    JFT Thursday
    - Up by 6:00 :smiley:
    - Weigh :smiley:
    - Work by 6:45 :smiley:
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - Work stuff :smiley:
    - Home by 5:00 :smiley:
    - Mini meals :smiley:
    - Log Food
    - Stay green
    - Watch the game
    - Shower
    - Bed by 11:00

    Happy Thursday y'all!

    **Update** a shot of pineapple vodka (or regular vodka) has 2 more calories than a Mich Ultra (95 Cal, 2.6 carbs), but 0 carbs...

    **Update 2** a shot of skinny girl vodka only has 75cal and 0 carbs.

    Goals for 9/1
    - meet calorie goal (1300) ❌
    - Drink 32 oz of water ✅
    - Write ❌
    - Update resume and post on Indeed ✅
    - Yoga ✅
    - Watch one writing webinar ❌
    - wash dishes ❌
    - Empty dishwasher ✅

    Didn’t make healthy choices today. Not one fruit or vegetable went in my mouth. And even with the constant munching on pretzels and chocolate I STILL can’t get to my calorie goal 😔 To top it off my brain can’t settle to anything tonight so once again no writing is getting done.

    Tomorrow will be better, right? Please let tomorrow be better.

    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
    • 8.2.22 up again ~ gah! (lazy in July & ate whatever I wanted)
    • 9.1.22 not doing so great eating-wise
    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) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks, tree roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill... have decided not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me)
    • watch for other events to add
    • maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
    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

    No goals for me today or over the weekend. Having a really hard time at work and just bad mental health in general over the past couple days so I’m taking some time away from my phone and social media. I’ll be back when my brain is functioning normally again.

    Happy Holiday Weekend y'all!

    Got home really late from work yesterday so there was no mowing. Work of a *kitten* lately. There is just so much to do before October. Oh well, I still like what I do.

    Got my hair done this morning. Came home to mow just to find out Tim did it (against my wishes). Luckily he said it didn’t bother his arm much. Now I’m waiting for V to get ready so we can go dress shopping for homecoming. Something fun before I clean out the garage.

    Morning all! I’m looking to start all over again. I lost 8 kilos (17,6 pounds) between August and December last year. Then I stopped exercising, didn’t watch what I was eating and now I’m back to where I was exactly a year ago.
    This thread is what I was looking for. I really want to take it one day at the time and trying to follow through.

    My goals for today:

    10,000 steps
    1500 calories
