    All your introspection set me thinking. I had my breakthrough when I accepted that this new lifestyle wasn’t just temporary, but that I had to work at permanent sustainable habit change to get and stay where I wanted to be.

    Occasionally my determination wavers, but that’s normal. Keeping my focus on health and fitness has to be a priority. The alternative is no longer an option for me.

    Back after a couple of days off stretched to a week! Several occasions/eating out just derailed me.

    @mytime6630 is so right that stopping logging can be the start of a slippery slope. I know I have lost over 8 stone (that's 112 pounds for those not in the UK) in the last 10 years...and I'm the same weight as 10 years ago. (And I've lost several stones before then, but that's what I can remember). Going back to bad habits when life was hard has undone all my efforts. So I'll be logging even if it's not perfect.

    JFT Thursday 15th

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    No snacking
    Walk? It's wild and wet again

    @emgracewrites Congratulations on your new book, part of a saga no less! I do admire people who can write books, I'd love to but I don't have the imagination. I don't know how writers come up with all their stories. Hope it sells well.

    JFT Thursday 15th

    Log everything ✅
    Stay in the green ❌ just over
    No snacking ❌ had a biscuit in the evening, unnecessary
    Walk? It's wild and wet again ❌ it dried up in the evening but I didn't feel like it

    Did better, but could do even better! Frustrating day as the rain started coming into my bedroom again. The roof has been fixed but still waiting on the wall being done.

    Btw, when I said I'd lost 8 stone I didn't mean all in one go, just that I yo-yo up and down, usually losing one or two stone then putting it back on. I really need to learn how to maintain, crazy to keep losing the "same" pounds over and over. i'm so ready to master maintenance, just need to lose a couple of stone first :)

    JFT Friday 16th

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    No snacking
    PF exercises
    General exercises
    Walk

    Still under the weather, it's been on & off for 3 weeks now. Was feeling better earlier in the week, but now I'm back to coughing up a lung every 30 seconds. Hopefully some rest tonight will recharge me so I can do my volunteer activities tomorrow at the half marathon. I'm doing a water station at the beginning of the race and then riding bike patrol for miles 11-13. I should finish up around noon at which point I'm going to brunch at one of my favorite downtown restaurants.

    JFT Friday
    - Work by 8:00 :( overslept and didn't feel like rushing, so more like 8:10
    - Half day at the office
    - Half day at home
    - Left overs for lunch
    - Nap
    - Dinner
    - Put bike rack on Acadia
    - load 2 bikes (rainy wet roads/dry roads)
    - Shower and shave
    - Set out clothes for race day
    - SLEEP

    @pridesabtch - I had COVID, and am now testing negative again, but am still coughing a little, especially at night. I have to admit I've resorted to Nyquil (or something similar) to get some good rest during the night. I always feel better the next day. But I also don't like to take Nyquil too long. Get well!

    Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 12 pm.

    Back to posting for my own accountability...

    JFT 8/16 F
    1) Walked dog 2.59 mi :sweat_smile: short route in neighborhood to take advantage of shade trees, as temp already warm & drippy humid at 98%, happy dog & happy me
    2) Log all food / no crazy snacking / 80 oz. water
    3) Petco for dog food & poop bags / check out Mackinac Bridge Walk rules (may do this on Labor Day with 1 or 2 brothers & sister) / post moussaka review / update bank accounts & budget s/s / wash dishes / read / call Mom / other?

    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

    2024 Goals:
    1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be thrilled if I can get back down to 160# this year
    • 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
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    • Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes... wall oven installed 2/26. Ppl
      * lentil rice sausage tortellini soup (internet) ~ very good, recipe is keeper
      * glazed lemon cookies (internet search) ~ everyone loved them at Easter dinner
      * rhubarb cobbler (in my first ever cookbook BH&G) ~ very good, I want to try with other fruits this summer
      * yellow cake (BH&G cookbook) ~ I followed instructions closely & blended well, very good with rhubarb sauce
      * white chicken enchiladas (newspaper) ~ very good, although 2 tortillas with recipe as written 846 calories (created in MFP recipes)
      * Greek yogurt almond butter breakfast parfait (newsletter) ~ terrific, if high in calories... maybe tweak
      * garlic scape basil pesto (internet blog) ~ excellent! tried as recommended with pasta (used up my radiatore)
      * summer squash, zucchini, mushroom casserole (TOH) ~ excellent! & good way to use squash & zucchini
      * zucchini meatloaf (sister) ~ good but hubby prefers classic recipe
      * moussaka America's Test Kitchen tv show ~ very tasty, nice size portions & filling, though complicated with four distinct layers & many prep steps ~ nice to have an alternate eggplant recipe
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x):
    January: 5 days x2wks, 4x1, 3x1, 1x1 [1 wk lots of snow & 1 wk bitter cold so shoveling, treadmill & PT, 1 wk 4 day trips out of town]
    February: 6 days x1wk, 5x1, 4x1, 2x1 [2 wks overnight trips to visit parents]
    March: 5 days x1wk, 4x1, 3x1, 0x1 [ack... prep house & food for Easter dinner; 1 wk overnight trip to visit parents]
    April: 4 days x2wks, 3x1, 2x1 [lots of lousy weather, plus 1 wk overnight trip]
    May: 6 days x2wks, 3x3 [fit days in around 2 overnight trips & visit on Mother's Day]
    June: 6 days x1wk {including Bellin 10K}, 5x1, 2x2 {either very rainy or hot for 2 wks}
    July: 5 days x1wk {including Packers 5K}, 4x2, 3x1 {a lot of very hot/humid days}
    August: 4 days x1wk
    • Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    • PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
      Jan 4x; Feb 1x; Mar/Apr 0x; May 1x; June 4x; July 1x; Aug
      4) MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,024km challenge started on Jan. 1
      • In 2023 I logged 726.88 miles, or 1,169.8 km & completed yearly challenge 11.14.23 :star:
      • In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km (knee issues).
      5) At least 7,500 steps per day
      • I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps [noticed 7/12 that requirement reduced to 5,000 steps, but I'll continue with goal of 7,500]:
        Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / June / July / Aug
      6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
      • Registered early (shoot, didn't get selected randomly for waiver of fee) on 12.29.23 for 6.8.24 Bellin 10K race ~ light rain most of race, steady rain last mile or so :star: chip time 1:42:35 ave. pace 16:31 (first half 16:50 second half 16:12) overall 3,136 out of 3,463 / females 1,560 out of 1,792 / F65-69yo 30 out of 48 ~ not as fast as I used to go, but still finished my 27th Bellin overall (their 48th year)
      • Register for my other usual events, and add other possible events
