My only goal for today is to log my food. I’m already fighting pain and anxiety attacks this morning so anything more than that just feels like too much.3

Morning everyone
Has anyone tried one of them Smart Weighted Hula Hoops which has the ball that spins round?
What did you think? are they worth it?
I used one a few years back, and it bruised me where it hit. To be fair, I bruise easily, but still wasn't pleasant. It was fun though!1 -
Back to reality today. We got a new puppy yesterday. Sierra qualifies to have a therapy dog at college. Sierra helped us choose a dog, she wanted a girl that was not too small. We knew she needs a hypoallergenic dog due to allergies. I happened to see where a friend of a friend had a female golden doodle from her last litter that had nit yet been adopted. It was a perfect match. Sierra named her Gia. We are going to go visit Sierra Saturday and introduce her to her pup. The plan is, we will house train the puppy and then send her up to school with Sierra. Gia is super cute & sweet, but boy puppies are a lot of work. She woke me at 6:00 this morning to a poo filled kennel. Which meant cleaning the kennel & the dog plus an early morning load of laundry. Ugh, at least with babies the poo is mostly contained in a diaper... Love her anyway.
Now that Sierra is in a slightly better place and our weekend away is finished, it is time to get back on track. I taught spin last night, as the regular instructor had shoulder surgery Friday. We got new bikes at the Y and they are way nicer than the old bikes, smooth and with a digital monitor that gives you RPM's. Still doesn't give a tension monitor, but I can control their tension by giving them a working RPM range. After class last night "Foxy" (all the class has nicknames) told me his original plan was to do squats and deadlifts after class, but after that class his legs were already shot. Makes an instructor feel good to know she gave them a good workout.
Not much planned for today, catch up on the work I missed. Go home at lunch to let the pup out. Bible Study or Spin Class if Bible Study gets canceled again.

Just for Monday- 24H Plan & Assess
Done - Water 64 oz by 7 pm
- WFPB meals
- Dr. appointment. Hopefully get some answers so I can be more active! I went but didn't get a clear path to addressing, unfortunately.
- Home Care: Dust. Bills.
- Declutter: 15 minutes shredding paper & cleaning files. 15 minutes digital declutter of emails/photos.
- Close Activity Rings.
- Walk outside, even if it's just around the block! Fresh air. Help pick up my mood.
- Bedtime Routine: Begin getting ready 30 minutes before. Read for 1 hour before lights out.
Dr. appointment yesterday went about how I expected. Apparently I have arthritis in my ankles and feet that is progressing, and neuropathy which had been pretty stable since chemo is progressively getting worse also (maybe one is triggering the other?). So, I'm trying an anti-inflammatory to try to quiet the arthritis and hopefully that will help the neuropathy calm down in response. If not, then I try a medication used for nerve pain. If that doesn't help, it's on to a podiatrist. Of course it's not what I want to hear, but I will just move forward and until I find something that helps. @mytime6630 I am thinking about checking out the Good Feet Store. I have a follow up in April and if things aren't getting better, I'm going to ask about it. I know they're expensive, but they'd be so worth it if they helped! My husband got a pair of inserts from there many years ago and he also still wears his to this day...never goes without them. Life-changing for him. So, thank you for sharing about your husband's luck with them. Maybe that will be the answer.
@pridesabtch Gia is adorable! Sierra will love her! My mom has a goldendoodle that is so sweet! She's very active and smart as a whip. That's so nice of you to do for her. Training puppies is hella hard work!
@mytime6630 Your plants!!! Oh my gosh! They're doing fantastic under those lights! Do you have them in the basement or like a backroom? It looked pretty dark where they are. I can't believe the blooms already! I'm sold! I need to look into a kit like that. I totally get it about the wildlife and gardens. Before we moved to town, we had the same issue. Rabbits, turkeys and deer used to hit ours pretty hard. Had to fence it in. Here in town, we don't have a garden like we did in the country, but we do still grow some things in big patio pots. I'm thinking about looking into buying or making one of those waist-high container gardens also this year. Your flowers are so pretty! Thanks for sharing. I didn't know you could grow so many plants in one spot like that. Obviously, I've not researched it enough. Good way to save money on flowers too. I know you do a lot of landscaping. Heck, we spend a lot on flowers in the spring, and we don't plant nearly as many as you do! :flowerforyou:
@Bex953172 I'm so sorry that your birthday and Mother's Day didn't go as you'd have liked. I didn't do much for my birthday either this year.
Glad the kiddos are in their new school now though! I hope they love it! You'll get a nice walk in each day it sounds like...
Today is AQ video day. I go to my mother's on Tuesdays to watch a quilting show that is live-streamed on YouTube. It's only an hour long but we both enjoy seeing the quilts the people make each week and it's something routine that my mom can count on us doing together each week.
It's in the 40's this week, so the snow we have is slowly melting. I can see more and more spots of grass peeking through so I'm happy about that! My husband put up the bird feeder yesterday and we had cardinals, a woodpecker, swallows and a robin on it pretty quickly! We have swallows building a nest in one of the birdhouses too, so that made me happy to see! These Wisconsin winters really get depressing after awhile and I'm ready to go outside without a coat! This winter we've had a lot of gray cloudy skies. Just having sunshine can make a huge difference.
Well, this has certainly turned into a novel... Oops! Have a great day everyone.

Back to posting... I was out of town Sunday afternoon to Mon. early evening, visiting my parents. I took our leftover beef stew to them, which they both really liked. When I got home, I had a quick supper then attended a community band concert at a local PAC (alone as hubby had headache, but I've done many things alone in my life). Very good musicians and I enjoyed the performance. Today has been busy as well, but posting JFT for my accountability.

- Registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised) from walking in another frigid 5K.

My only goal today was to log my food. I did, but it’s depressing to look at. Ended up having toast and yogurt for dinner because my stovetop started spewing smoke while I was just preheating a pan. Brand new drip pans and burners and I’m still terrified to turn it on.
Anyone have any recipes that can be cooked in a microwave, air fryer, or slow cooker? Because that’s pretty much all I’ve got right now.1 -

@PackerFanInGB I've got a windowsill full of trays of tiny seedlings. The pleasure of seeing them sprout is now countered by the realisation that I've no idea where I'm going to put all the pots once I've potted them on. I've no greenhouse and it's far too cold outside.

I did a push up yesterday, by accident 😂😂
I've never been able to do one, my arms just crumple when I bend them.
But last night the girls were doing "push ups" (don't ask. I don't know why either) but you know when kids do it with their hips/tummies 😂😂
So I held Casey in the right position and was like no just bend your arms and I'll keep your body straight. She did it in the end but Marley still didn't understand. So I was I said "like this Marley!" I got on the floor and did like 3?
But even I was like wtf never been able to do that before 😂 surprised myself.
Marley never managed it but it was the first time I noticed her elbows hyperextend 🤢 gross 😂. My knees hyperextend but it looks weirder on elbows
Hope everyone has a great day!

Gia is a sweet little thing, but potty training is no joke. She woke my at 2:15 with a clean kennel and we went out and she peed. We went back out before I put her back in the kennel, but I obviously did not wait long enough. The 5:30 wake up call was nasty. My guess is that she pooped before going back to sleep at 3:00 and tracked it all over the kennel as she whined & howled to get out. Needless to say they was significant clean up and laundry to do. Now she is being all sweet and sleeping on my lap.
She is a little much for our older dog. She drives him crazy so we’ve been keeping them separate most of the time. Of course, then he gets lonely and jealous. When Tim gets home, I switch out puppy duty and go hang with the big dog. It would be easier if they got along, but Gia is a bit much sometimes. Goofy little ankle biter.
Yesterday was a good day calorie wise. I didn’t drink or snack, but I also didn’t get my water in. There is always today. That is what this thread is about. Each day being a fresh start and opportunity to do better.
Today is work, and a trip to Audit a company that does external processing for us. Really more of a fact finding mission then and audit, but either way I need to look professional-ish.
Topically Wednesday evening is trivia, but with a new puppy I’m not sure that is going to happen. Kind of depends on V’s schedule. If she’ll be home we could go, but if not we should stay here.
JFT Wednesday
- late/early puppy duty
- Laundry
- Shower
- Work by 8:00
- Morning meetings
- Supplier visit
- Maybe go with Tim to therapist, maybe go back to work, probably go home.
- Puppy duty until Tim gets home
- Work on leash training and potty training
- Eat on plan
- Stay under 1300 cal + exercise
- Maybe trivia
- Log food
- bed by 11:00

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 ~ 1.31.23 ack! 2.28.23 not better but not worse
- Try new recipes now that I have the time
January: parsnip/potato mash; St. Louis gooey butter cake (Mom's bday) =
February: creamy bacon corn chowder (slow cooker); banana bread (using applesauce & oil); braised lamb shanks with lentils (slow cooker); apple cake (with buttermilk) =
January 1x6 days, 1x5 days, 2x4 days =
February 1x6 days, 2x5 days, 1x4 days =
March 1x6 days, 1x5 days- 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
January 48.14 miles
February 55.79 miles YTD 103.93 miles- 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 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised) from walking in another frigid 5K.
- Registered for Bellin 10K on 6.10.23 ~ 2022 first time in person since 2019; 2023 added 5K event.
- 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 ~ learned of Pi Day race, but did not enter
- 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/ CH
2.11.23 ART Nite w/ PZ (supper, gallery, bar w/ live music)
- Made great progress on first floor of house in 2022, keep going

JFT Wednesday 22nd March
Eat 3 sensible meals no, only breakfast was good
Only one snack 2
Back exercises no
Half an hour clearing room no
Plant dahlia corms no
Didn't do well yesterday. Why is it so hard to eat 3 healthy meals a day?! I invited a new-ish neighbour round for a coffee so the morning was nice. But I had no oomph in the afternoon. It was far too wet and windy to garden outside and I didn't want to do anything at all.
Got yet another cold starting from grandson.
JFT Thursday 23rd
Eat 3 sensible meals
Only one snack
Grocery shopping
Make dental appointment
Call into hairdressers
Ironing mountain (this one is urgent)
