    Diets going well so far, not had any biscuits OR crisps. and you all know how much I love crisps haha I used to have a pack every night. Couldn't imagine doing that now!

    Have been feeling a little on the hungry side though but I'm guessing I'll adjust or just need to find some low cal snacks to fill the gaps!

    I've mainly just been eating fruits, vegs, proteins and fats but trying to eat "good fats" but I've definitely made a change.
    Now just need to wait for the results!

    Late posting today, but better than last two days not posting at all. Just didn't make time with all the other stuff.

    JFT 6/20 R ~ started morning off raining again, stopped for now & hopefully this evening
    1) Purchase salad for supper at garden / one adult beverage / log all food (best guess) / NO crazy snacking / 80+ oz. water
    2) Min. 7,500 steps
    3) Massage 11:15 aahhh! / wash dishes / empty kitchen bucket & flower vase in compost bin / pick up hubby's supper at grocery deli (he doesn't care for the healthy food by the local vendor at the garden LOL) / GBBG concert 6:00 (take umbrella just in case, bug spray, can koozie, light jacket?) / other?

    This morning I tried a new recipe for breakfast parfait with almond butter (my first time trying, very good), Greek yogurt, granola, fresh fruit, berry syrup, honey, cinnamon. It was very good, although high in calories. I may tweak the recipe (I usually try a recipe as written, the first time) to cut the calories. Otherwise, really need a good workout that day!

    Speaking of workouts, haven't had a dog walk since last Friday. Between lots of rain and very hot/humid weather this week, no chance. Sad me & sad dog. Did do PT one of the days I didn't have much else going on.

    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 but no new recipes yet.
      * 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
    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}
    • 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 x
      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:
        Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / June
      6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
      • Registered early (rats, missed out on waiver of fee) on 12.29.23 for Bellin 10K race on 6.8.24 ~ 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)

    Bike ride yesterday was nice. It was slow, but the ride was more about girl time that hitting it hard. Did something to my left eye, or allergies are attacking, Either way, it is unpleasant. It's better today in that it doesn't hurt continuously, but it is extremely light sensitive. Oh well, it will heal.

    Not much on the agenda today. Work, home, then I think we are going to a wings joint to watch the hockey game this evening with a friend.

    Recap 6/20 R ~ started morning off raining again, stopped for now & hopefully this evening
    1) Purchase salad for supper at garden / one adult beverage / log all food (best guess) / NO crazy snacking / 80+ oz. water ~ close enough 72 oz. :smiley:
    2) Min. 7,500 steps :neutral: more like 6,500
    3) Massage 11:15 aahhh! / wash dishes / empty kitchen bucket & flower vase in compost bin / pick up hubby's supper at grocery deli (he doesn't care for the yummy, healthy food by the local vendor at the garden LOL) / GBBG concert 6:00 (take umbrella just in case, bug spray, can koozie, light jacket?) / other? nope :smiley: TA-DA!

    JFT 6/21 F ~ another very humid, rainy day *sigh*
    1) Leftovers for supper? / log all food / no crazy snacking / 80 oz. water
    2) PT exercises ~ already done YAY / min. 7,500 steps
    3) Hair appt. 12:30 / call Mom / RSVP lunch next Sat. / concert on City Deck 6:00 (if not raining) / 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 but no new recipes yet.
      * 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
    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}
    • 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 x
      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:
        Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / June
      6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
      • Registered early (rats, missed out on waiver of fee) on 12.29.23 for Bellin 10K race on 6.8.24 ~ 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)

    Girlfriend is in no shape to ride her bike in 100F heat. Man it was painful even though it was short. First 8 mins was sweet, next 30 minutes was A-W-F-U-L.

    did not weight today . Been fighting a cold for days and I have never sneazed so much in my life! In spite of feeling a bit under the weather I still did a 12+ mile bike ride. It was hot and I got a good work out even though I had planned to take today easy. Might have gotten a bit too much sun and now resting for the afternoon. The wind is relentless and don't feel like doing anything but lay on the couch for rest of the day.

    The UK weather has been so annoying.

    ALL of May and June (apart from one weekend in May) has been cold and rain every day just on and off on and off.

    And now it's a friggin heatwave but like... TOO hot. Like you go outside and melt instantly.
    The gym has Aircon but you barely feel it!

    Hi 👋🏻

    I’ve taken a very long break from using this app but I’ve decided to give it another shot.

    Age: 33
    Height: 5’4”
    Current weight: 98.4
    Goal weight: 110

    Got some work to do. Also still have work to do controlling my IBS which makes everything more complicated and leads to a lot of anxiety around food. But I don’t have quite as many bad days any more.

    Goals for 6/24
    - cook tofu with gnocchi and spinach for dinner
    - Yoga
    - 48 oz of water
    - Do better than I did yesterday

    Well yesterday was a bust goal wise, but that's ok. The overall weekend was good. I haven't been weighing, but clothes are fitting better.

    Not sure what I'm doing this evening. Hubby kind of wants to go to the bar and watch game 7 of the Stanley Cup Championship. I'd kind of rather go to spin class, or ride my bike.
