4) Balance bank accts / update budget s/s / Our Wis. order / Acts 1:8 Foundation pledge / webinar recording (unfortunately no CPE for this) / 2023 tab for CPE Log / start putting decorations away / organize stuff that needs glue repairs / clear some papers / digital declutter / wash dishes / anything else? forgot to review DVR oops
5) Floss / retainers / pray 3x
JFT 1/7 Sat.
1) Walked dog 3.32 mi (took car to NWTC, walked to GBBG and around campus) happy dog & happy me ~ neighborhood roads are icy in lots of places, campus roads & parking lots better. Anything better than treadmill. LOL
2) Move hourly

4) Market on Military ~ bumped into Lin & chatted / put clean dishes away / prep offering for church / update 2023 CPE Log / another ta-da?

5# Challenge ~ according to my "official" Sat. weigh-ins:Dec. 31 = 177
Jan. 7 = 177 still eating holiday foods
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
- 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
- register 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
- Made great progress on first floor of house in 2022, keep going

Busy day so far. I think one of my alarms didnt go off because in a blink it was a whole hour and a half later. Had to rush a shower and get out a door for a coffee date. But it was all good.
Yesterday was good eatin'. This morning i did my weighin for both WW and a small local weightloss contest.
Everything is looking okay.
Now i gotta log my points and write my agenda. Some stuff i *will* get done today (hubby is comin' home tonight).
OKAY SO AGENDA
- Descale and sanitize humidifier
- Which means going to the hardware store for bleach (ideally before the storm rolls in)
- Wash the bathroom rug
- Clean kitchen counters
- Wash towels
- Mop floors
- Re-org bathroom
- Order more floss (x2 this time!)✔️
- Vaccuum bedroom
- Find place for humidifier box
- (if theres time) Vacuum couch
It's 15:44 now, and hubby gets in at 21:22, and it takes about a half hour to get home, so i have until 22:00 (6¼ hours) if he ubers, and until 20:30 (4¾ hours) if i want to pick him up. Wew, time to get crackin'.

Is there a limit to how many times you can edit a post? I'm confused. The edit button was there a second ago....0

You can edit it for one hour after you post it, then you can’t.

Goals for 1/7
- Yoga ✅
- Crochet ✅
- Log all food and water ✅
- Make progress with editing ✅
Daily gratitude: I made a huge chunk of progress with the editing - should be able to finish tomorrow. I’m also proud of myself for sticking with my yoga practice, which was all focused on core today. Had to do a few modifications, but it felt so good when it was done.
I really need to focus on drinking more water. It’s like I forget about it after work and on the weekends for some reason. So that’s going to be my main goal for tomorrow: drink at least 32 oz.2 -

Had a pretty good week.. the hardest is the starting. I'm still hungry at nite, but I know I will get used to, and want to get used to not eating at nite.
I can't remove the bandage from my finger for 3 more days incase it starts bleeding. Kinda nervous because I'm only to remove the outer bandage. not the surgical foam. but it so soaked I'm worried I'll pull it all out. but still hard to type!

Oh strange, i think i misread somehow. I thought you had mentioned something called Park Run (or sometimes Park Walk) which is an event for runners and walkers (started in the UK, the first US one is a city away from me). I actually have quite a few parks around here, although the neighboorhood i live in is so pretty and quiet, i dont have to go far at all to have a good walk.clicketykeys wrote: »So glad you had a great day!

Oh! No, not as an event. Just a more concise way of saying "going for walk (or run) at a nearby park." 1 -
