Hour commitment - After my watermelon, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch, and no desserts the rest of the day. Can still have my dose of metamusal.2

@emgracewrites Lovely photos & you've got a beautiful smile! Nice walking. Thanks for sharing.
@more_freggies76 Thanks for the compliment. When I was much younger, I loved to write short stories (fiction), and even thought someday I'd be a writer.
Recap 7/31 W
1) Walked dog (neighborhood only) 2.84 mi
temp was 68 when we left house & rose to 75(F) by time we got home, humidity was dreadful again & I was dripping, but happy dog
2) Log all food / no crazy snacking or sweets ~ ack, too many dried banana chips but overall not horrible / 80 oz. water ~ only 64 oz.
3) Empty kitchen compost bucket & dead cut flowers into bin / bag up aluminum cans / bring supplies up from basement / text MJSW re financial docs ~ now to figure out how to password protect my zip file, don't have the software I used to use at work / 7:00 city band concert at park (take pantry donation)
plus watch Olympics TA-DA!
JFT 8/1 R
1) Weigh, measure (forgot yesterday for month end) & log on MFP not the numbers I want but is what it is
2) Log all food (guess for lunch at Mexican restaurant) / no crazy snacking or sweets / 80 oz. water
3) PT exercises / min. 7,500 steps
4) More research on password protecting zip file / bank acct updates / reply to LWML email / read / call Mom / 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

Thanks @Bex953172
Back to the gym again today and walked on my lunch.
Been doing the times eating and decent at doing 730ish to 8am ish.
Kinda killing me right now the girls are eating salt and vinegar chips … feeling snacky but I’ve been doing so good and really want to shake a couple lbs off.. soooo so far staying out of it and thinking I’ll sneak off to bed soon before I run out of willpower!
Been tracking and hitting my macros pretty well and staying within my numbers /cals.2 -

Nice day, but terrible day for dieting, lots of red crosses! One day having lunch with a friend, and all my dieting focus just disappeared. Shocking how quickly I can fall back into bad habits. I even snacked in the evening although I wasn't hungry. and today I'm much hungrier than usual. Also completely forgot that Friday is weigh in day, I'm hoping that the increase is temporary.
JFT Friday 2nd August

Not going to attempt walking as I'm going out for the day tomorrow and will be walking a lot. Will take a packed lunch though, no eating out!

@littleblackskirt To be honest the picture is deceptive. I was sitting on a stone wall a good 20 feet from the drop off. I’m not that brave either LOL.
If nothing else, I’ve gotten my exercise for today. Car needed a state inspection so I dropped it off and then walked half a mile back home. Going to have to walk another half mile later today when they get done with it so that’s at least one mile’s worth of steps today.4 -

Recap 8/1 R ~ very humid day with thunderstorms later
1) Weigh, measure (forgot yesterday for month end) & log on MFP not the numbers I want but is what it is
2) Log all food (guess for lunch at Mexican restaurant) / no crazy snacking or sweets / 80 oz. water
only 48 oz. water, may have led to my headache later in day. But I had nice lunch w/ my friend (we take each other out to eat for our bdays, and hers was this week).
3) PT exercises / min. 7,500 steps headache & no energy
4) More research on password protecting zip file ~ ended up using Dropbox (so easy, why didn't we do that to begin with?) / bank acct updates / reply to LWML email / read / call Mom / other? see #3 I ended up watching Olympics on our ancient TV in basement, because dog was scared of thunderstorm
JFT 8/2 F ~ another very humid & hot day, I can't wait for this weather to end
1) Hubby and I made BLTs for brunch / smoked salmon for supper? / log all food / 80 oz. water esp. with high sodium content in today's food
2) PT exercises / min 7,500 steps
3) Empty planter trays of rainwater (we got 1.35" last night) / drown Japanese beetles (they're starting on my basil plants now) / quick grocery run for ingredients for tomorrow / wash dishes / call Mom / read / watch Olympics / set alarm for farmers market / other?
Tomorrow hubby and i go to his elder brother's for a family get together. I will make black bean salsa to take, a favorite of several of us there. It's wonderful when made fresh, and healthy with fresh bell peppers, yellow onion, black beans, corn & fresh garlic. Even better, it's fine to sit out in hot weather, with red wine vinegar, lemon juice & olive oil in the dressing. I won't try to log food tomorrow, most likely too much guessing. Day will be mostly sedentary, with 45 min. drive each way & sitting/visiting with hubby's family. But I'll walk through the farmers market early, then make the salsa. Should be a fun day.

@emgracewrites I love the photos! Thanks for sharing. I would love to see the Appalachian trail! You look great! What a beautiful smile you have.
@cschmitz110515 Have fun at your BIL's tomorrow! Black bean salsa sounds delicious. I was looking at the vendors for tomorrow's Farmer's Market. It's huge! I keep putting off going because i just don't tolerate the heat well. If I could get my butt down there at 0700 tomorrow it will only be 69 degrees, but pretty sure that's not going to happen... 😁🤦♀️
Today I was doing well food-wise until we went to my son's swimming. My husband and I came home so darn hungry I ate 2 BLT's (although the bread slices were on the small size if that counts?) and a corn on the cob. It tasted delicious but i know it's way too much sodium. I need to push water now and hopefully I don't get heartburn tonight from the bacon. I don't do well with a lot of my "favorite" foods ever since chemo. I don't know why, but they affect me differently now and bacon is one of those foods.
Anyway, I closed my activity rings, did my 24H plan and assessment, followed my plan, so I do have some wins for today. Yay.
Things I need to do better tomorrow are: Increase water, eat more freggies, do my 5 things declutter.
Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 😎3 -
Hour commitment - After my yogurt, I won't eat again until tomorrow.0

Happy Saturday, JFT friends! I'm late hopping on but not too late to list and hit my goals. I have them in my head already.
I decided to put my swimsuit on and go jump in my son's pool today before showering or anything else. I plan to go as often as I can (ideally, daily) to water walk and get some movement and gentle resistance for strengthening. I tend to put things off until "later" and then not doing them at all--so this morning, I decided to go while it was still relatively quiet outside. The water was 89 degrees! So warm! It felt just glorious. But then I lost track of time because my son and grandson jumped in and started playing water basketball with me. It was fun and I closed 2 of my activity rings on my Apple watch just messing around playing in the pool. Very happy with my decision! 😁😎
My physical therapist reevaluated my muscle strength last week and said I'm improving quite a bit, so that gives me even more incentive to keep going. I plan to go again tomorrow morning.
It's really hot and humid again today, so I'll probably spend the rest of the day in the house putzing, maybe doing some quilting and watching the Olympics. I'm really enjoying them! Such dedicated athletes! I'm in awe of them. (I also need to catch up on this season of Big Brother. Haven't seen it at all yet and I'm a closet reality tv show fan...)
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
Just For Today:
1. 24H Plan & Assess
2. 64 oz water by 7pm
3. Close all 3 activity rings
4. 5 things declutter (house)
5. 5 things declutter (digital)
6. Sew backing for quilt
7. Donation Drop off (if DH finishes with my car in time)
8. Aldi produce run
9. Early to bed to wind down. Evening routine beginning around 8:30 pm.
2024 WOTY: Heal. Health. Thrive.

Rode the struggle bus all day today. Feel more like an untidy, disorganized, overwhelmed, burnt out mess than a functioning adult member of society. I’ve been really down since my last nutritionist appointment on Thursday, where I found out I’d lost over two pounds in two weeks - it took me two months to gain those pounds in the first place and then they drop off just like that. And the depressed mood wipes out my appetite, so that just makes everything harder.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll actually have the discipline to do something productive but for today I give up.3 -
