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 -

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.
Don't be ashamed, as you said, these moments are very rare! And straight away you're back to your goals!
I'm glad you didn't vomit it up! That shows great strength and I know I don't really know you personally or all the ins and outs of what you've been through but sounds like to me you made the right choice!
Just a momentary blip.
Be proud of all you've achieved!

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…. 😬😉
