Good morning! It’s treatment Tuesday for me. It’s just labs, check in with doctor and then an injection in my leg so im not nervous…just kind of have to plan my day around it since it’s 2 hours out of my afternoon. Im hoping to see improvements in my labs too. I got out for a walk with my dog yesterday! First time I’ve walked with her since last October when I got sick. It felt so nice! We only went a few blocks because it started raining (of course it did!! 😂), but it’s a start. Start small, start now.
Hope y’all have a good day!
@TerriRichardson112 How nice that you are reading some of your writings today! Enjoy! And I hope you enjoy your time with DED and grandsons also. Summer heat has lulled me into inactivity for sure. We have finally dropped to temps in the 70’s this week so I’m happy about that!
@littleblackskirt How awful for your son! I hope nothing gets ruined from the leaking!
@mytime6630 Glad to see you post! I have noticed it’s easy to not post or log my food since retirement. I’m not on my computer all day like I was when working. I’m trying to do better. Hope you’re enjoying your summer gardening and quilting!

Did pretty well yesterday until I got home around 9:00pm. Then I got into the leftovers. I was reasonable at first and had a bowl of soup. Of course I was still hungry because I hadn't had much during the day and I broke into the Mac & Cheese. Definitely ate more than one serving of that...
Long days this week. Today started with a 7:00am meeting followed by an 8:00 - 2:00 training, some more meetings then followed by a Town Hall from 5:00 - 6:00pm. I'm pretty sure I dozed off at one point during training today. It was just so darn boring. I do ok when it's interactive, but virtual training where they just talk gets to me. I have a few things I need to exchange at Buckle and another that needs hemmed. Nothing else really planned for today.

Today I’m reading some of my writing at a Picnic in the Park organised by the charity that I volunteer for. It’s in the walled garden of our City Hall. Hoping that it stays dry. That was a forlorn hope. It started to rain just as the entertainment started. Fortunately, the musicians and I were in a band stand, and the audience were prepared for rain with raincoats and ☔️☔️☔️ we had several showers during the music, but fortunately for me the rain stopped just as I was about to do my bit. The audience seemed to enjoy my short interlude. And the rest of the day the weather was almost too hot 😂
I did indulge a little as there were goodie bags, but I had prepared for that and had left ‘free’ calories.

I think I did okay yesterday.. can't remember exactly what I ate and I know I had some "bedtime snacks" but I think it was a handful of nuts? Really can't remember. Either way it's better than most other days.
Today I've also done okay so far. Eggs, 1 piece of bacon (last one in the pack lol!) and mushrooms for breakfast, no bread.
Lunch we did eat out but me and Ash shared a jacket potato with curry on? They had no chilli so we tried it and it was surprisingly nice! And we had half each so half the calories lol!
Then Casey opened a packet of crisps then realised she didn't like the flavour. So I ate about 2 of them (hate wasting things) until Marley came to my rescue and said she would eat them!
And also Caseys tooth came out today! Finally!! She's been wobbling it at me for days and I HATE it. I don't do teeth.
Plus she was finding it hard to eat certain foods and she hasn't brushed her top teeth in a few days so gonna give them a good brush tonight!2 -

So we went out to BWW for dinner and while we were there somebody hit Sierra's car. I'm going to call when BWW opens to see if they have parking lot video. Really annoying though because we are supposed to return her car tonight and now it's all scratched up. Not sure how the insurance will handle this. I'm super annoyed. It is less than a year old.
I did manage to go to Buckle and get my jeans measured to have them hemmed. It is a great service. I paid the same price I normally pay for jeans at another store, but here they are altered to be the correct length. I'm short so I can't tell you how many pairs I have that are too long and I step on... There are a few places that carry 30" inseams, but not many.
Training again today, then nap then drive to return Sierra's car and her dog. I'd keep hers a little longer and get it fixed, but I need my Acadia with the bike rack for an event Saturday.
JFT Wednesday
- Work by 8:00
- Training 8-2
- Eat lunch
- Home by 4:30
- Nap until 5:00
- Drive to Cambridge 5:30 7:00

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... 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
* 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

Keeping my Word for the Year: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship1 -
Hour commitment - Well, I'm ashamed to say I just had one of my really rare binges. Just too much stress and I couldn't stop eating the chocolate we had from the event we went to a couple of weeks ago. It had been building, though. Oh well! Now I won't eat again until after 5pm and no more desserts today. Got that yucky feeling from too much sugar! Can still have my dose of metamusal.
Partly wanted to try all the flavors and get it out of my house. I think there could have been better ways to get rid of it then through my stomach. It did cross my mind to vomit it up, but nope, not going to do that. Moving on.4 -

Good morning! It’s going to be a nice day again. Windows and doors are open with only the sounds of summer and Olympics right now. I love days like this. DH is mowing lawns for his work place, my mother’s and our house today. I need to clean and chop produce to build my fridge salad bar before the produce goes bad. I hate throwing it away, especially with the cost of groceries right now.
My maintenance treatment went well on Tuesday. I think my body is handling it better as time goes on because I now seem to have fewer side effects. Yay! My labs looked good except my liver function studies are creeping up again. I was being seen for fatty liver before I had to go on chemo last fall—at that time, all my liver levels were high. During chemo, i was sick and barely eating (especially greasy or heavily processed foods), and all my liver function studies returned to normal. So I know for a fact I can reverse the fatty liver at this point, and that’s exactly what I plan on doing. I just need to remember my “WHY’S” so I am more mindful about my choices. I’ve been emotional eating quite a bit the past few weeks. Time to rein that *kitten* in.
Is anyone watching the Olympics? I am just in awe of the talent and dedication of these Olympian athletes. I get a side ache just walking to our mailbox, and we don’t have a very long driveway…. 😬😉

@more_freggies76 Ditto from me on the "really rare binge" moment, you've been doing great. Very good you didn't vomit, and love the ending to that post "moving on". Exactly!
@PackerFanInGB I am addicted to watching Olympics! Sometimes, the lesser known sports are more fun to watch than the big, hyped up events. I love that 3 U.S. male runners won medals in the mid-distance track and steeplechase events, SO fun to watch, and I'll bet a huge shock to some!
Recap 8/7 W ~ weather has been great yesterday & today
1) Walked dog 4.24 mi & dog got treat from garbage truck driver happy dog & happy me
2) Orange roughy & cabbage for supper / log all food / NO crazy snacking ~ small bag of popcorn (benefiting the neighborhood association) at concert / 80 oz. water a good day
3) Call Mom short call since aunt had just arrived / update bank acct records & budget / read / watch Olympics / 7:00 city band concert at park (take food pantry bag) / other? TA-DA!
JFT 8/8 R
1) Walked dog 3.75 mi, not too warm and just a teensy humid but still I came home dripping, very happy dog & happy me
2) Figure out supper / log all food / no crazy snacking or sweets / 80 oz. water
3) Activate Petcare Rewards card / realized we're low on milk, so need to meal plan & make grocery list for tomorrow / text sister (her stepdaughter, only 9 yrs younger than she is, still hanging on) / wash dishes / read / watch Olympics / 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
- 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
* 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

Yesterday ended up being rather stressful. Mom texted me and told me to call her, but her phone isn't working so I left work early and drove over. One she had questions about her phone. I ended up bringing it home and spent 2 hours online with Verizon today. Unfortunately, she needs a new phone. Fortunately, I had a protection plan on it so the new phone is free. Unfortunately, number 2, she freaks out when she gets a new phone. It should be here tomorrow and I will set it up for her before I give it too her. I have most of her apps linked to my email which makes it easier to do than last time. Last time, we were counting on her to know passwords. That did not go well.
The other thing she needed to talk to me about was her car. She said it didn't run right. I took it for a drive with her in it. It runs fine. She described her issues which all had to do with shifting (it's an automatic so just P, R, N & D). She was trying to drive with it in Park and Neutral. She was so confused and didn't know what any of the letters meant. I ended up taking her keys and telling her she couldn't drive any more. That was tough. I'll go over today and go get her cat food and things to try and ease her into not being able to get around. I may look into a home helper to drive her places twice a week, but last time I looked that was quite pricey. That and she isn't very nice so I'm guessing it would be hard to keep someone. For now its on me, which will be fine, but is not exactly ideal.
Other than the things with mom, the day was pretty ok. Today is my father-in-laws birthday. Depending on how long I spend with mom I may make it over for cake and ice cream. Honestly, I'd rather just go home and cry. I know I am very blessed, but this stuff with mom is very tricky.

@PackerFanInGB I'm glad your maintenance treatment is going well. I haven't been watching the Olympics, seems like it's been a whole summer of sport.
@pridesabtch I feel for you trying to help your Mum. Telling a parent they can't drive any more is a difficult thing to do. How did she take it? Both my parents had to stop driving, but I never had to push it. It just slowly became the accepted thing, but even when dad couldn't walk downstairs any more he didn't agree to selling his car.littleblackskirt wrote: »

@PackerFanInGB I lead a Creative Writing group, so write in lots of different genre, but my favourite is poetry. Here’s one of my favourites
Words
(20/3/2022)
I wake up in the wee small hours
disturbed by creativity’s powers
Insistent thought, my sleep devours
My muse goes into overdrive
mischievous, she will contrive
my peaceful rest to rudely shrive
Words scampering through my mind,
resistant to being caught or confined,
and by my creative will defined
I herd, cajole, and separate,
until they’re in a settled state
subdued, the chaos will abate
illusive, flighty, running wild,
now, organised, and neatly filed,
by intellect they have been styled.
tension banished, I breath a sigh
Relaxed again, abed I lie
Sleep returns by and by

Was quite busy yesterday evening, but I got most things done. Didn't get a shower, but I should have time to do that after work today. Leaving around 2:00pm today after training. I'll grab a quick shower and head out to volunteer at the River Trails and Ales Festival. I'm working the booth this evening and driving a SAG vehicle tomorrow morning. Then tomorrow evening is the Ales portion of the festivities. Y'all know how I enjoy my ale... After my shift this evening I have folks coming over to the house for a movie night. All good stuff.
