Got a few things done yesterday, but mostly just snuggled with the dog. He is sad and wouldn't eat yesterday. Guess we aren't the only ones who miss Boomer. Hubby did the laundry, not me. I cleaned bathrooms.
Totally overwhelmed at work again. Just when I get a handle on something, they add another new aspect. This time we had a new administrative assistant who was learning the PPAP, CoA system in SAP. She quit after one week, so now it's mine. I have zero time. I have a 3-4 hour management review to do on Thursday, some of which I can't find data for, and I need to create a dashboard... *kitten*, I don't know how to do that. To top it all off, they asked me to work on a display case. I said no, but then the manager came back with a "you really should" so I guess I will. I really don't think they would have asked if a man were in my position. ARRRRGH!
House cleaning after work today assuming I ever leave today...

Today sucked. Had a random anxiety attack in the middle of the day so had to push some of my work stuff off to tomorrow. Then went to 2 different grocery stores and still wasn’t able to get everything on my list. Also realized after I got home that I don’t own a corkscrew to open the bottle of wine I bought to use in a recipe, so I get to go back to the store again tomorrow. Yay 😞4 -

Morning all!
Today is my birthday
Celebrations started yesterday already and my calorie count went off the roof. Hence my goal for today is to not go waaaaaay too off my daily intake.
That’s it, I said it. We’re going away to a hotel spa on the beach with my husband, kids will stay with my in-laws. I’m just going to relax and enjoy the day.4 -
Yesterday 9/6. Turned out to be a poor day in terms of focus, productivity and achievements. Did not accomplish any of my goals. Tried my best to focus at work but was really in a mental slump. The only thing that’s driving any results is impending deadlines. Feeing rather stale professionally. Perhaps it was the grey rainy day and my very cold office. On the plus side, it was a good day with connecting with all my family members. Everyone is healthy and there was no drama.
So, I will set the reset the bar again for today try the same goals again today 9/7
1. Begin a modest but progressive strength training program today.
2. Keep cals under 1500 net
3. 20 mins of guitar practice.
4. Bring best self to work today.
5. One hour of shop time and guitar build with son.

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)
- 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
- 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
- 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 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 b/c I love train events)
- watch for other events to add
- maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
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 done0 -
