ran out of time

4) Laundry / R2AK starts noon PT / declutter 15 min. (anything!) / another ta-da? / concert 6pm
music was not our preference so we left at intermission (other folks do too) but nice evening out with hubby & 1 beer 
5) Floss / retainers / pray fell asleep again
JFT F 6/9 ~ planned rest day since 10K race is tomorrow a.m.
1) Foodwise, a day of guesses: lunch at Mexican restaurant with former co-worker (another co-worker had to bail last minute), spaghetti supper (gotta carb load) at park tonight. Drink my water!
2) PT exercises
3) Bank after lunch (done) / reply email to PZ / water planters (we REALLY need rain) / refresh birdbaths / prep clothes & bib for race

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, 3x5 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
March 73.47 miles YTD 177.40 miles
April 49.52 miles YTD 226.92 miles
May 71.75 miles YTD 298.67 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.
- Registered for Packers 5K on 7.22.23
- register for Bellin Women's 5K ~ date 10.14.23 (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)
March busy with weekly soup suppers for Lent
4.26.23 met up with former co-worker Ted, sold him my Honda Civic & re-met his wife
4.28.23 helped friends PZ & BH move to new condo
5.7.23 visited/picnic at SIL's house (in town) with numerous in-laws
5.14.23 visited my aunt & uncle (90 mile drive) since my folks under the weather on Mother's Day
5.20.23 visited/lunch at BIL's house (30 mile drive) with niece on break from law school in Boston
5.30.23 coffee & lunch with DE

OK, pressing RESET today. For reals!!!! I hate to even step on the scale but at this point maybe the shock of the number will keep me buckled down. I'm starting a new plan (well new to me anyway) called the Fast 800 - basically intermittent fasting which I've done before and had very good results...just gotta get through the first few days which will be tough. I did a bunch of food prep yesterday which always helps - tried a new recipe from the book, Chicken Coconut Curry with Lentils and it is delicious! So I have that to look forward to for dinner, over cauliflower rice. Also made a batch of Eggroll in a Bowl (otherwise known as Crack Slaw) and forgot how stupidly easy that one is to make - ground 99% FF turkey, cole slaw mix & onion with soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, & siracha. There's the unhealthy brain part of me that is tempted to say - oh, you're traveling this weekend (for niece's graduation in Vermont, basically a chance to see my father & his wife without having to travel to NC) maybe wait to start next Monday...but this has to be a life choice if I'm every going to get anywhere. And I feel at such rock bottom, I need to get a handle on this. I'll just have to plan ahead and keep things reasonable. Having a shorter eating window helps a lot with that. So here we go...again!
JFT:
stick to plan
moderate exercise and yoga stretch
100 oz water
take starting weight / measurements to track progress
journal
no alcohol (this is going to be the norm for the next 12 weeks)3 -

11. Medical: YMCA classes. Lift @ lunch. Maintain @ 155 w defined muscle tone. At 189, 1pr black 1pr white leggings; purple All-Stars. 179, 2 Svaha Rachel dresses. 169 suit - Indochino? 159 swing dance lessons. Talk to PCP about feet (cannot do calf raises, pushups, planks, mountain climbers, etc.) Also back and shoulder pain. Why can’t I sleep better? Is ADHD a possible factor?

13. Therapy thoughts: Achieving fitness goals is especially difficult when snacking is apparently the only effective, inexpensive, convenient de-stresser and I'm stressed almost all the time. Progress: Work on reflecting on progress. Regressive behavior is now minimal. ASK about what's scary about the room. About what else in her life (now or previously) is/was like that. Normalize putting the blankets away EVERY MORNING. Then move to doing it FIRST, along with getting dressed. What do I do about the fact that nothing really seems fun? "Having fun" is something of a chore. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary.
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared."
WFTY: Priorities. It's been a hectic transition from school to break. I was in an opera! I'm also still working at the park, though I did switch to two weekdays rather than Sundays (which was great because I can't be in two places at once and we had a Sunday matinee).2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.3 -

13. Therapy thoughts: Achieving fitness goals is especially difficult when snacking is apparently the only effective, inexpensive, convenient de-stresser and I'm stressed almost all the time. Progress: Work on reflecting on progress. Regressive behavior is now minimal. ASK about what's scary about the room. About what else in her life (now or previously) is/was like that. Normalize putting the blankets away EVERY MORNING. Then move to doing it FIRST, along with getting dressed. What do I do about the fact that nothing really seems fun? "Having fun" is something of a chore. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary.
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared."
WFTY: Priorities. It's been a hectic transition from school to break. I was in an opera! I'm also still working at the park, though I did switch to two weekdays rather than Sundays (which was great because I can't be in two places at once and we had a Sunday matinee).2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.2 -
Goals for 6/13
- eat more than I did today
- 40 oz of water
I thought my calorie count was good today, until I logged everything and realized I actually did horrible. And yet somehow I still feel completely stuffed. I really don’t understand my body.
Pretty much at rock bottom right now. I’m 20 pounds underweight and that just seems like way too hard of a goal to reach. I guess I’ll just try to make each day a little bit better than the day before.6
