JFT Tuesday HALLOWEEN Night
I won’t eat anything after dinner.
Went over calories with a homemade Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and 3 fun size chocolate bars at workI. I hate it that there are Candy Dishes all over the very small office….Thank goodness we don’t get trick or treaters at my house, so didn’t have to buy any candy, avoiding further temptation!
Happy Halloween everyone!

Had fun giving out candy last night, though I did need a blanket to sit outside. The kids were all very polite and excited by out candy selection. After the munchkins finished up, I went into the toasty warm house where hubby made dinner. Had dinner and then settled in for the night. It's been a good week so far. Tonight, I think I'll skip trivia and get a few things ready for the weekend trip to VA. Making brownies and pepperoni rolls for my girl's birthday and don't want to feel rushed tomorrow evening.

Hi JFT friends! It's been a while 😆. I had to go back to page 80 to find my last post. I may or may not read the backlog I missed. Earlier this year, I just got sick of logging everything day after day. So I stopped. Now my weight is up and today, I finally feel like I want to log again. I have been keeping up with walks with dog. Here's a pic of her in her new winter jacket, on the day of our first hard freeze this week.
JFT 11/1 W
1) Log all food on MFP / at least 64 oz. water
2) Walk dog 3.78 miles = happy me & happy dog
3) Find pattern for baby snuggle buddy / watch World Series
4) Floss / retainers / pray
About me:I'm Carmela
This is my lifestyle. It's. Not. A. Diet.
Height 5'4"
66 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 ~ forgot (on purpose ?) in July, Aug & Sept
- 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) =
March / April ???
May: raisin overnight oats; banana overnight oats =
June: orange choc chip bread =
July / Aug / Sept / Oct ???
January 1x6 days, 1x5 days, 2x4 days =
February 1x6 days, 2x5 days, 1x4 days =
March 2x6 days, 3x5 days =
April 1x3 days, 2X5 days, 1 week not feeling well =
May 2x3 days, 1x4 days, 2x5 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
June 74.27 miles YTD 372.94 miles
July 35.41 miles YTD 408.35 miles
August 58.07 miles YTD 466.42
September 63.89 miles YTD 530.31
October 66.33 miles YTD 596.64- 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 = Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / June / July / Aug / Sept / Oct
- 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 ~ 1:39:19 ave. pace 15:59 split time 50:07 age group 24/40

- 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

Well, hubby talked me into going to trivia instead of running & baking, with the promise that he would make the brownies when we got home. Honestly, it was probably for the best as I was a little under the weather and running in the cold was not appealing. We almost won at trivia. We were in the lead going into the final question, and we got the final question correct, but we didn't wager enough points... We just weren't that confident in our answer.
Busy first half of the day today at work. Big wigs are in and I have a ton of meetings. After about 2:00, things slow down. I'll go to mom's to sort bills, then meet friends for drinks. After which I'll go home and make the pepperoni rolls.

How do you take the hurt out of caring? Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.
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." Use AI for ideas.

I get very down and discouraged by people's hurt that is bigger than what I can help Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.
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." Use AI for ideas.

Goals for 11/5:
- log food
- Drink enough water
Been a while since I’ve posted. The past few months have been a bit of a roller coaster, but I’m finally making some progress in gaining weight and controlling my IBS symptoms.
I’m leaving for a week-long trip today, and the last time I went on a trip I didn’t eat anything close to enough. That’s why I’m recommitting to logging, so I can make sure I’m giving my body the nutrients it needs.1 -
