    9. No BS Virtual Camp Weekend @ 12-noon - Day 1: Body Image :)Yes! So good!
    10. Evening Routine: Brush, floss. Face. Lotion. Devotionals. Gratitude Journal. Prayer Journal. :)<3

    Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! It's absolutely gorgeous here in Green Bay today. 81 degrees right now.

    I'm attending Day 2 of the Body Image No BS virtual camp today, but I'm multi-tasking. I have the audio playing through a speaker so I can do other stuff while I listen vs sitting and watching all the videos and coaching sessions. It's been pretty interesting.

    This weekend is our neighborhood rummage sale and I'm really fighting the urge to go wander and look. But my husband said "Honey, their tables are full of *kitten* we already have in our house. We could put a table of the same kind of crap out in the driveway...we don't need it." So there's that... ;)

    Have a good one!


    Just for Today, 5/18/24, Saturday:

    2. Log food and close diary at end of day.

    2024: Healthy, Happy & Grateful. Today, I am releasing the goal number on the scale and striving for the goal LIFE I want to live...I choose peace over worry and joy over anxiety. My goal now is to be healthy--not a specific 'size'.

    Hey all, not been posting much, been super busy!

    The weather's nice here, we let the kids have a day off school on Friday so we could go stay at ash's parents for night.

    Sask was having trouble at school with a bit of bullying and I just thought we could all do with the break! I rang the school and said we were all poorly from a dodgy takeaway 😂😂

    Marley has her ADHD assessment tomorrow and I'm bricking it. I don't feel very prepared but it's hard to prepare for the unknown. But I know my daughter well enough and I might just jot down some notes to help me out during the assessment.

    @PackerFanInGB So sorry I haven't replied to your message yet but I will do asap! Not had two minutes to myself. Twice I've been mid-reply and had to stop 😂😂

    Goals for today, sunday, 5/19
    1. log all food
    2. record weight.
    3. stop mindless eating... distract myself.
    4. concentrate on drinking MORE WATER!!! This is a habit I have such a hard time doing.
    Name is Joan. Age 73; 5'11". Been married 47+ years, 2 children, 2 grandkids ( + 3 step grandkids)
    Lives in Missouri. I love to garden, go for long walks, quilt, sew charity stuff. My goal is to stay as "young" as I possibly can... to not only look good, but to feel good, have energy, be able to continue to get up and down gardening, biking, and walking.

    Goals for 2024:

    Staring weight: Jan 7, 2024: 209.0
    Goal weight at the end of 2024: 175-180, and learn to maintain
    Goal to lose 25-30 lbs this year to be in healthy range
    Weight Goals:
    1st goal weight: 199 - reach this by March
    2nd goal weight: 185 - reach this by July
    Ultimate goal weight: 175- reach this by September
    Weekly Weigh-ins
    Jan 7: 209.0
    Feb 1: 206.2 (goal was 205)
    March 3: 206.2 (Goal was 199)
    March 10: Did not weigh in
    March 17: 207.2 -- not going anywhere!! Starting the 5 pound challenge
    March 24: 205.8 -- did pretty good all week until yesterday. Hoping to get back on track today!!
    March 31: Did not weigh ... Easter sunday, and we were out of town.
    April 7:
    205. 1. Down 2 pounds in 2 weeks... but not feeling well, and not eating nearly as much, but also not exercising.
    April 14: 206.8 -- no exercising at all, spending most of my days just sitting around. Hoping soon to feel better.
    April 21: Did not weigh .. still was feeling sick.
    April 28: 206. 7. Week 1 of "reporting" my food to my neighbor. Calories all week have been around 1500. Challenge will end on Tuesday, so I will record that weight before starting the next 5# challenge on May 1st.

    Lost my other posts, so starting again with weighing

    May 19: 204.0- I believe when I started the challenge May 1st my weight was also 204.. so not doing so good this month!
    5 pound challenge
    5 pound challenge
    SW 3/17/24: 207

    Glad you got to go spend some time with Ash's parents! Sounds like you all needed a break. Poor Sask! I used to get bullied when I was a kid because we moved a lot and I was always the new kid at school. It's not much fun!
    Good luck tomorrow with Marley's assessment! Don't be nervous. They'll ask you questions and you'll know the answers.
    And no worries about replying to my message! You don't even need to! It's all good. :smile:

    Busy weekend, well not really. The latter half of last week was predominantly spent at my in-laws sitting doing nothing for hours. Tim's mom is still struggling and her brother came in to visit. It was nice seeing him again, but you could tell he was coming to see his sister for the last time. Sunday we went to church, lunch & Walmart before heading home to do chores. Hubby offered to do the laundry so I could go for a bike ride. I went to my favorite bike path and rode and decided to ride out to the neighboring town. It was only 10 miles away, but I was not acclimated to the heat. It was in the mid 80's, not bad, but hotter than it has been. First half of the ride was good, second half was less than impressive. I bonked and my pace fell WAY off. With 3 miles left I started getting cold chills and was struggling to ride in a straight line. I knew if I got off the bike I would not want to get back on. There was also no one I could call to come get me, so on I rode. I obviously made it back, but was disappointed in my fitness level. Gotta do something about this. I can ride for an hour with little problem, but when I go beyond that I die. Grabbed some water and a candy bar (sugar) before heading home. That perked me up a bit. When I got home I crashed on the couch for like 2-3 hours. I'm not sure, but hubby woke me for dinner.

    Not sure what today holds. Work, home, then spin class, ride or trivia. I lean towards ride, but I may need a recovery day after yesterday. Maybe a hike?

    JFT Monday
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Check in with MFP :smiley:
    - Lunch with corporate big wigs
    - Lots of meetings
    - Log food
    - Stay green
    - Exercise?
    - Trivia?
    - No more than 3 beers
    - Home by 10:00

    This happened to me... and I don't think its your "fitness level". Was it hot? I used to ride close to 30 miles at a time, but one time, I was like you... I just couldn't keep going. Except I got off, and nearly passed out. Some walkers happened to see me.. and called hubby to come and get me. My doctor told me what I needed was something like gatorade... to restore your electrolytes. Now, even if I walk in the heat, I keep gatorade on hand. So you might want to try this?I know you do spinning, and in great shape, so perhaps that was what it was. Needless to say though.. very scary and I'm glad you are ok.

    LOL, my fitness sucks right now. I can spin for an hour, but I'm calling class so I can't do an all out effort right now. I have a ton of extra weight right now that is truly holding me back. I just can't seem to get my mind right with weight loss.

    @PackerFanInGB Very glad to read your latest health update. YAY!

    I haven't posted or logged for 3 1/2 days... left town to visit Mom & Dad & Sat. drove Mom to her step-cousin's wife's funeral (if that makes sense). Berniece known as Bunny outlived hubby #1 after 35 years of marriage, then married Mom's cousin, a life-long bachelor, when he was 65, and they were married for 30 years before he passed away. She was 101 years young! The funeral was wonderful, with lots of family members contributing music or readings or memories. It was a beautiful day for the graveside service after, followed by a luncheon at nearby restaurant. Lots of car & sedentary time, because I drove an hour each way, plus the travel in between. Then two of my brothers & SIL showed up, after helping two nieces move to new apartment (ironically, in same city as we went to for funeral). So I visited a bit, then drove home (another 90 minutes in car). I was wiped out that night, after so much people-time. Sunday was laid back; hubby and I slept in & skipped church, made bacon & eggs together for brunch, and had a lazy day. No dog walk because too warm for multiple miles by the time I wanted to get going.

    JFT 5/20 M ~ off & on rain/thunder showers so no dog walk
    1) Restaurant lunch w/ long-time friends LL & LWB (I haven't seen LWB for nearly a decade, but LL is local so we see each other occasionally) / supper? / best guess when logging food / 64+ oz. water
    2) PT exercises ~ my knees, hip & lower back will thank me
    3) Wash dishes / fill more gallon jugs with rainwater from barrels / make rhubarb sauce (freeze some) / read / other?

    5# Challenge (May):
    SW 184.5
    5.4.24: 186
    5.11.24: 184.5
    5.17.24: 185
    Challenge Goal 179.5

    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 ~ very good, recipe is keeper
