Hello everyone! I hope everyone’s having a wonderful weekend! it’s such a beautiful day here in Wisconsin. We are able to open windows, hear the birds and neighborhood sounds of kids playing outside and my husband’s radio playing in the garage. The sounds of summer…I love them. 🥰☀️🌺🌼
I spent some time out on the deck this morning listening to some No BS coaching calls and the sunshine felt so good. I’ve not been outside much AT ALL this year. Normally by this time of the year, I have a nice tan from being outside so much. I know it’s been a different kind of year for my husband and I, and mentally I’ve been struggling since the recurrence of the breast cancer, but I think that’s probably normal, right? I mean, who wouldn’t get depressed over that? Plus, now I’ve fractured my tailbone, so although I was starting to regain some strength after chemo, I set myself back again with that! So, although I think it’s probably normal I’ve been isolating and feeling some depression & anxiety, I can’t let myself live there! I mean, what’s the point of going through chemo and fighting if I’m just going to sit in my recliner all day and watch life pass me by? So, today I am picking myself up and brushing off my knees and getting back to it. It’s a new day.
Sundays are kind of a reflection day for me because I consider it my new week…I weigh myself and make my weekly plans…and I didn’t like my assessment of last week, so I took a look at the facts. The facts are that I gained 1.8 lb back. I gained it because I wasn’t eating because I was hungry and to fuel my body…I was eating for entertainment, soothing my emotions and not listening to whether I was actually hungry. I ate past enough because either I didn’t want to waste the food or it just tasted “so good”. I also gained weight back because I didn’t drink my water. I didn’t pay attention to whether I was actually hydrating my body. I gained also because I didn’t move enough…I sat on my butt (well, actually on a blow-up donut) and felt depressed over things I want to do but cannot, rather than focusing on and finding things I CAN do…
So today is my restart. I really need to do this. With the cancer diagnosis, my quantity and quality of life actually depends on getting healthy and strong for as long as I can. I need to do this for myself, my husband, my kids and my grandkids. I need to build some healthy new habits and stop pretending this stuff didn’t happen.
I’m sorry if this sounds all melodramatic, but I needed to write these thoughts out so I can refer back to them and give myself the kick in the *kitten* I need right now! If you’ve read this far, I’m sorry for the rant! But I really need to get my *kitten* together! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😉😊

Clean sweep yesterday. Felt pretty after my day of pampering. Went out to dinner with hubby. Not often that I do hair and makeup.
Hubby and I went out, but had to come home early because my daughter called and told us we had a water problem at home.
Slept in this morning and just kind of bumming around. May go for a ride later.

No recap, since I didn't have the time to post yesterday. I made an early run to the farmers market downtown (city's largest, actual farmer's market, with lots of real farmers and produce). Got home in time to put stuff away & eat quick bowl of Cheerios & fresh fruit, then shower and off to church. Special day with the installation ceremony of our new Associate Pastor. Lots of music, including choir, so I had to be there at 10:20. Ceremony at 11, followed by lunch in fellowship hall. I think I chose food wisely, limited my desserts (I can't just skip) but didn't log bc too many guesses. At home, hubby had cleaned 4 of the upstairs windows & replaced screens while I was gone, so yippee! Then he took off to visit his two sisters, and I did chores, including hosing down & cleaning the last 10 window screens. Yay! I also picked up sticks from under all our trees (very breezy), depooped the yard, and refilled several bird feeders. Since it was too warm, no dog walk. But she and I relaxed in the back yard once chores were done.
@PackerFanInGB You are a fighter! Hugs to you!
@littleblackskirt @Bex953172 Love the flowers! Thanks for sharing your photos.
@pridesabtch Very pretty! Like the saying goes, you clean up nice.
JFT 6/30 Sunday ~ a cool day, but breeze finally died down & SUN is shining!
happy me!
1) Church service 9:00
2) Hubby & I made BLTs after church ~ yum! / not sure of supper / log all food / no crazy snacking / 80 oz. water
3) Already done: while hubby on his webinar, I cleaned all the single pane windows (upstairs master bath, patio doors, kitchen sink, front panels by door) and replaced three window screens. Whoever said I'll say the windows project was worth it, once we're done, was right. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel LOL. Also cleaned (really, dusted) around 2-person tub (which we never use... whoever thought that was a good thing to install is nuts, it was here when we bought the house), pulled yard doodads, depooped & de-sticked yard again for hubby to mow. Emailed aunt that I'll bring my walking togs when I visit parents Thur-Fri.
4) Still to do: wash, cut & freeze garlic scapes / boil eggs / read / two upstairs double-hung windows with hubby? / 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)

Today I get my son's dog for the week while they go on holiday. Looking forward to it, although it looks like it's going to be a rainy week. So might be wet walks instead of the lovely sunny ones I'd envisaged.

Went gym again today. Much more confident than when I first started. I know what I need to use and how which is good.
The majority of my muscle groups can lift in a range between 25kg to 40kg depending what I'm doing.
But I told Ash I wanted to be able to achieve a pull up, and he told me the best place to start was to work on my shoulder muscles before starting to do pull ups.
Well, my shoulders are weak as anything 😂 9kg and struggling and my right is stronger than my left so couldn't even lift it level.
I've noted down everything I did though today, going to get it onto a spreadsheet and track my progress now.
I do feel like I've over ate today though,. It started well, but then had a McDonald's, then made some pulled pork wraps and I wasn't even hungry?
But it's already done now. I'll just have a smaller portion at dinner time I guess!
Hope everyone else is doing okay!3 -

Had a very small portion for dinner, just a few pieces of chicken in the curry sauce and half a large naan.
So calories may have balanced out (Maybe not with the McDonald's😂) , I haven't actually been logging, just making better choices and I've changed my meals alot.
No more brown toast or cereal for breakfast.
I now eat eggs and avocado or natural yoghurt and berries.
Lunches consist of salads with some sort of protein. Or chicken and rice. That sort of thing. Lots of proteins and good fats. Low carb and apparently sour dough is the healthiest kind of bread ingredient-wise, but I even keep that at a minimum.
Dinners are generally more veg, less carb when portioning but we've made less restrictions there, it's too hard to change everything but a healthy breakfast and lunch is done us both good!3 -
well today was scheduled to be a but nutso and I was SUPPOSED to drag my butt out of bed early to get my workout in but that didn't happen. Didn't sleep well until about 5 am so stayed there until after 6 and had to log on for work by 7 am.. tonight, after work I have some committmenets so I won't be home until 7 pm or later , which honestly is probably too late to get a work out in . That would be two days with no workout since yesterday was a rest day. Trying not to stress over it and just be extra cautious with the food . So far so good

Today I get my son's dog for the week while they go on holiday. Looking forward to it, although it looks like it's going to be a rainy week. So might be wet walks instead of the lovely sunny ones I'd envisaged.
Must admit I was tempted by a takeaway last night. However, I had to stay in to wait for elder son calling in, he'd been to A&E with an injury. So takeaway averted.

Didn't post yesterday, but it was a busy day. Work, Lunch with retirees, Give blood, Teach spin, Crash on couch... Plan was to just call spin class as I was running a little low after giving blood, but I had a new guy and needed to show him to help him understand. I was tanked after, and moving slowly. Stopped and got a Gatorade on the way home, but didn't feel well enough to eat. Still a little tired today even though I went to bed at 8:00pm.
