Had a good day yesterday. Didn’t go to bed until 1:00am, but other than that stayed on goal. It’s currently 5:00am and I’ve been awake for about an hour which gives me about 3 hours of sleep. Normally I weigh in first thing, but didn’t want to wake hubby up wrestling the scale. I’ll weigh later. Plan is to go to Sunday School and church this morning. Squeeze in some activity this afternoon then chill and do laundry. Exciting day ahead…

Not sure if I'll log next two days, since I'm leaving town to visit Mom & Dad (and spend the night). Hubby will stay home, maybe his younger sister will spend night at our house. Looking forward to my prolonged visit & sitting around the table playing dominoes all evening. My family has always enjoyed the camaraderie while we play games. Hopefully I'll see at least one of my brothers, and my aunt while there. Not sure of meals, not going to fret. Still drink my water. Planning on PT exercises in a.m. before I leave tomorrow.
5# Challenge ~ according to my "official" Sat. weigh-ins:Dec. 31 = 177
Jan. 7 = 177 still eating holiday foods
Jan. 14 = 176.5 getting treats & portions under control
About me:I'm Carmela
This is my lifestyle. It's. Not. A. Diet.
Height 5'4"
65 yrs old
Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA
2023 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be satisfied if I can get back down to 160# this yearWord for 2022-23: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP 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.
- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
- Try new recipes now that I have the time
[**] January: parsnip/potato mash
yum
- Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
- Continue PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km. Not the full challenge, but with knee issues early in year, I was happy to get this far.
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps
- registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ I had to cancel in 2022 due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised)
- register for Bellin 10K on 6.10.23 ~ 2022 first time in person since 2019 & not as large of turnout, still 4,000+ participants
- register for Packers 5K ~ date TBD
- register for Bellin Women's 5K ~ date TBD (1,000+ for all races in 2022)
- watch for other events to possibly add
- Excellent goal previous years, to be continued
- Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in mid to late 80s and live 90 miles away
- Monthly contact with former colleagues/others in town, now that I'm retired
1.12.23 lunch w/ C
- Made great progress on first floor of house in 2022, keep going

We had a wonderful 3 days with our son, but today, all I'm doing is eating. Leftover chips and dips, rice krispy treats, brownies.. all left that did not get eaten.
SO Now I'm struggling to get back on track, so figured tomorrow will be my day to start again. I can say I had 3 cheat days. Actually I did OK until they left today.. then you know, that empty feeling when family leaves. I can't get into doing anything, and just grazing all day! And there is half a pan of leftover b rownies, leftover rice krispy treats, 3 bags of chips, dips, etc. I just hate to throw these away though.. so going to practice my willpower this week! (Ha.. and hope daughter eats them.. or at least the sugar stuff I should just throw in the trash). Why do I find this so hard to do though!
SO... JFT, MONday, 1/15
1. get back on track... log food both here and on ww. Stay within points; eat healthy foods
2. concentrate on water .. red cup challenge. Aim for half of the week to meet my goal of 8+ cups
3. go to the gym
4. help hubby with work
5. get potting mix .. start flower seeds under the grow lites
****************
Red Cup Challenge1/125-pound challenge! Did OK.. but still only got in maybe 5 cups.
1/13

1/15 Son was in town past 3 days.. and I know I did not get in enough water; actually ate very poorly today, but tomorrow will be the start of a new week for me. .. new challenges.

SW, Jan 1st 207.6
***********************
Weekly weigh-in... I will weigh myself every Sunday. I choose that day because it will help me over the weekends, which is usually my worse time.Sunday, Jan 1: 207.8 starting weight**********************
Jan 8: 204.6 -3 pounds. Had a OK week.. did ok about 5 days. My 1st goal is to be under 200 by feb 1st
Jan 15: 203.8 (Total-4#)--- This was my weight on friday, before my son came, so I am going to record that weight. My weight this morning was actually 206 .. but that was from eating way too much the past 3 days. So I am using my lower weight rather than this higher rate.. goes to show though how much our scale can go up in a few day! Hopefully it will go back down as quickly as it went up!
A little about me:My name is Joan, I will be 72 years old this summer. I am very tall, 5'11", and hope to lose 25-30 pounds. I have 2 grown children, have been married to my husband for 46 years; love to garden, love to walk and exercise, and love to sew.My word of the year for 2023: Transformation. I want to "transform" my thoughts about food to have a healthier attitude for food .. it is nourishment, not just enjoyment, and transform my body in get in the best shape I can... to strength so as to avoid injuries.[/quote]

Personal Goals
52. To have a better relationship with food. To not think I have to be perfect, and to realize that if I have a bad day .. that is OK. Get right back on track. To give it 80/20 --- meaning if I can stay on track 80% of the time, that is OK. It does not have to be 100%

57. To declutter our house.. keep only what I use!

Daily gratitude: the vast majority of the editing is done. Just a few more little things to research and clean up. Also thankful for noise cancelling headphones.
Lazy day today, due to not sleeping that well last night. The kids that live in the apartment below me are being super bratty, so it looks like I’m going to have to sleep with my noise cancelling headphones in again 😞 I don’t know what my goals for tomorrow are going to be, so I’ll post them tomorrow morning.2 -

Whoops never did update.
Ended up putting off all my tasks too.
But i finally finished.
I decided that crossing out all my tasks means i can wipe the board.
That should prevent me from letting old tasks stay undone.
I also have been writing tasks with different marker colors, a different one each day, so i can see how deep the list has gotten.
Also its pretty.
Anyway its late so i'll do a better update tomorrow.
Night yall.

Okay.
At a PC. Agenda for today is up on the whiteboard. Whenever i'm at my PC its very awkward to transcribe the agenda so maybe next time i'm using my tablet i'll do it.
Today is the first day of week 4 (i think) of my WW journey. As such, i have a new cache of weekly points. But i'm already negative. But not because i binge ate. A similar situation happened last Monday. I had study group and was tired all day. By the time group was over, i was exhausted, and i had a long trek home, with a full backback, in the cold California night. I wanted just a snack, but ended up getting a chicken schwarma wrap, and figured i would only eat half. I ate the whole thing easily. I didnt feel sick after either. I felt reborn. So i didnt regret it at all.
Similarly, today, i had been very lethargic. Had been yesterday too, so i rested a bunch. Same the day before. But each day i was more and more lethargic. If things were different, i would just continue laying around all day and sleeping all night, but i need to be concerned about blood clots and household duties. I ended up eating 50 points today, all spread out, none of it spur of the moment. It was only after i had my last food item that i felt normal again. So i'm at -8 weekly points. I wont be surprised if i'm 0 or positive by the end of the week. The day after last monday, i did eat a little much, but by mistake; i got something that was way too rich and ate it anyway because i thought it was lower in points. That is easily avoidable by pre-planning meals and snacks. But even if my weekly points stay negative, i will not regret. I told myself i would take advantage of weekly points, and logging, and that this is a long term project. Logging and points allow me to see how im choosing my foods and nourishing myself. Its there to help me lose weight as efficiently as possible. The beginning of such a journey is always rough and full of inefficiency. And even if i'm negative, i still may lose weight, because all this stuff is approximate (and i'm sure WW is still figuring me out; also i dont log activity).
Anyway thats it for now.
