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
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes
- 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
- In 2023 I logged 726.88 miles, or 1,169.8 km & completed yearly challenge 11.14.23
- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km (knee issues).
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps
- Registered 12.29.23 for Bellin 10K race on 6.8.24 & eligible to have race fee waived
- Register for my other usual events, and add other possible events
- Always a good idea
- Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in their late 80s and live 90 miles away
- Monthly contact with former colleagues/others, now that I'm retired
1.7.24 HH came over & visited at my invitation
- Not as much progress as I hoped last year, but not worse.
Keeping my Word for the Year: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship1 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. Can still have my dose of metamusal. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch.2

Ok, so I have zero idea how much I drank last night. Things jut went off the rails. Started off good, but it went down hill fast. One shot and the night just unraveled. Anyway, I had fun but feel a bit of regret today. Been doing well on my intake lately and on moderation. Trick now is to not let one bad day derail my efforts. Honestly, my intake wasn't that bad yesterday just not what I'd planned. Plan was Chinese for lunch, but somehow my order got missed so no lunch for me. Shame to because I called in the order and went and picked it up. The other 12 folks got there food, but I didn't. Boy was I craving it. Dinner I had a salad, but put a little more dressing on than I usually do. Still not bad. Even when I throw in the alcohol I was probably within maintenance, but then there were the cheese sticks. Oh well, today is new.
Goals for today are similar to yesterday, but no alcohol rather than limited alcohol. Sometimes that is easier. That and I rarely drink at home.
Thanks all for the kind words. My mom and I have always had a strained relationship, and I'm an only child so it is what it is.2 -
MIA again!! I have to figure out a good time to consistently get on here to post my goals. I am now retired, and like so many, don't get on the computer as much, and I hate doing this on my phone.
Today.. I get in not one, but two workouts!! I always go to the gym in the mornings .. well.. its more of a community center gym, but I love it. I have met so many good friends there.. its also my social time. Hubby teases me that I just go to talk.. LOL.. But.. I always get on the treadmill, and do weights. Hubby goes to a different gym.. a real gym, but he likes to go in the afternoons. So, since we are retired (and have silver sneakers, so we can go to any gym), at least during the winter months when I'm not outside, I told him I would go with him. But .. he stays 2 hours! So... thats what we did today. I am sore.. ha... I guess I lifted more weights. But.. maybe if I keep this up, by summer I will look better! I guess I need to stop eating junk food though and snacks.. like the doctor said, losing weight is 90% what we eat.
SO I am posting my goals for tomorrow. We are suppose to be getting freezing rain/snow, and bitterly cold temps, so I probably won't be going outside much. You all take good care.. I think most of the country is getting these artic cold temps!

@PackerFanInGB. I consider you such a good "online" friend also .. gosh.. we have "known" each other for a long time! I still remember when you got into sewing and made that beautiful quilt for @Bex for Casey ... and @Bex -- what is Casey now, 5 or 6 years old! So.. we go a long way back.
I look forward to seeing you posting, and I hope you continue to do so. We are all praying and rooting for you to get through these chemo treatments. When you talked about that metalic taste... boy.. did I feel for you! When hubby and I had covid we took Palovid .. and one of the side effects of that was metallic taste. Yuk!! I drank so much water to try and get that taste gone.
A very good friend just finished with her chemo treatments about 1 month ago. Hers also was Breast Cancer.. that resurfaced in her bones. But... she got through the chemo, and is now doing fine. So I pray for this for you also. You are a very strong person, but even a strong person.. it is OK to cry and feel that grief you are probably having. Sometimes I think a good cry is what we need. But I also know you have a loving and supportive family, you have strong faith, and you are a fighter. So I know you will get through this. Like you said... what the scale says is of no importance at all right now. In fact I always think it is better to have a little "extra" weight on you when undergoing what you are going through.
Sorry to write so much .. but please come on here whenever you feel like it. Vent.. let us know how you are doing. we all love you... and I know you'll beat this like you did before! Many many virtual hugs to you.3 -
@pridesabtch... boy, I could totally understand you having more than just 1 drink last nite ... I think you needed that. After what your mother put you through, I think I would have had several. I am so sorry that she is putting so much burden on you. I think sometimes we, as parents, forget that our children have their own lives and their own set of worries. I try not to burden my kids with anything, in fact if I am down or depressed (ha, especially like when our son only calls once a year!), I don't want him to know that it hurts. So I try and sound upbeat and not stress him out even more. I think he is unhappy, and this is why we don't hear from him much..
You know your mother loves you.. she just doesn't know how to be, and sometimes I think people just want to know someone cares. She is most likely lonely. I hope to never get that way.
But ... I am so sorry for that for you. And, like you said, tomorrow is a new day. You are doing great
@clicketykeys -- Ha.. I think I self mediate with ice cream way too often! But then I tell myself.. at least the ice cream is gone! I hope the class discussion went OK.. that would be so stressful for me!
@snowflake68 - so happy to see you posting again!
@itladyee -- you are doing great!!
For so many of you... I think most of the US is in a bitter freeze coming! They are predicting rain/ice/snow/ and super cold temps for the next 2 weeks here. So .. all you outside walkers... stay safe!!

Recap 1/11 R
1) Stove-top recipe for supper, just need to decide which ~ made skillet chicken with spinach & mushrooms along with noodles, but forgot to make my side salad / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) PT exercises? yippee!Treadmill?
3) Wash dishes ~ piles gone / shovel 2" new snow that just ended ~ at least it's the dry, fluffy kind / grocery shop ~ store very busy with pre-storm shoppers LOL / call Mom
canceled visit Fri-Sat due to another 2 day snowstorm forecast / vacuum last room downstairs / review V & MC cc stmts & schedule payments / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / store Christmas books in basement / put up snowman magnets (now that I found them LOL) / read / digital declutter / other? emailed sister & aunt about change in plans TA-DA!
JFT 1/12 F
1) Leftovers for supper plus side salad / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Treadmill at least 2 miles ~ strange how walking outside is so different
3) Keeping things low-key today: shovel snow as needed while hubby snowblows / wash dishes / prep potatoes & bacon for tomorrow's farmer's breakfast / read / digital declutter / other?
We are in our second snowstorm of the week, which later will become blizzard conditions with 3+ continuous hours of high winds. Life in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, my winter jinx from last year continues... my planned 2 day visit to my parents' home (90 min. drive away) for today & tomorrow had to be canceled / postponed. Fingers crossed that our new dates will have cooperative winter weather.
Snow has been falling since early this morning, and will end around noon tomorrow. Up to 12" is predicted. Hubby wants to periodically clear the snow, which is a good idea, rather than wait to clear everything at once. I'll help by shoveling the patio, walkway & front steps. Next week the forecast is for bitter temps with highs in single digits (F), nighttime lows below zero. I have decided I need to get back on our basement treadmill. My walking challenges have been suffering lately, which I'm not happy about. I've been doing what I can in our weather, but there are limits. Much as I dislike the apparatus, I am grateful I can do a workout without leaving the house. Sad dog though.

JFT - Jan 12 2024
Log all Food
1L of water
Move
I missed a couple of days, I was busy studying and yesterday was DH’s birthday so I also spent some time with him.
@mytime6630 - Casey was born sometime in the first week of February 2018
I started JFT in April 2018.
I need to get back to the actual logging.
My foot is bothering me so I’m not doing much for movement.
My daughter’s baby find is at $4400 44 donations so it works out to an average off $100 per donation and it’s been live for 4 days.
The goal is $30K. They have spent that already and just don’t have it to do on their own again.
I know you’re not supposed to pray for money, but that is what they need right now.

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 Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes
- 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
- In 2023 I logged 726.88 miles, or 1,169.8 km & completed yearly challenge 11.14.23
- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km (knee issues).
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps
- Registered 12.29.23 for Bellin 10K race on 6.8.24 & eligible to have race fee waived
- Register for my other usual events, and add other possible events
- Always a good idea
- Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in their late 80s and live 90 miles away
visit 1.12-1.13 canceled due to snowstorm - Monthly contact with former colleagues/others, now that I'm retired

@PackerFanInGB I dunno; part of the reason I'm so frustrated about this class is that I'm having to bust my tail to familiarize myself with it - and then since hopefully I'll get to teach the class that *I* pitched after this, I won't be able to re-use any of the work I'm doing on this one. But at the same time it's not like they could have just changed the schedule and put students into the new class, since that's not what they signed up for and it wouldn't be fair to them. So, like, I get it. And it's the best option out of what was available. I'm just a bit grumbly! 3 -
