    @PackerFanInGB and @cschmitz110515 - thanks for asking.. The icefishing was super fun. I had not gone in years (since I dated my college years boyfriend) The sun was out and it was beautiful. We caught 4 salmon in total , I lost one and never had any more hits. The fish seemed to all have "lock jaw" . :) It was still a very enjoyable day. I even got a sunburn although I now resemble a raccoon! Didn't think to wear sunscreen but the reflection of the sun on the snow/ice caused some intense rays

    Did a 2. 5 mile hike yesterday with hills and wore my weighted vest. Today I am down 2 lbs from yesterday.. Must be I sweated it all out!

    Good morning! Happy Monday! It's sunny and we are supposed to have a high of 46 degrees (F) today. Next week, they are calling for 60's! Happy dance! It's amazing how much the sunshine and nicer temps affect my mood.

    @HappyDonkey75 That sounds like a wonderful day! I can't even imagine catching salmon while ice fishing! We go for northern pike, walleye, crappies and perch here in Wisconsin lakes. I love salmon. When i was married to my ex, we took our kids ice fishing every weekend, all weekend! We had a little community of ice shacks on the lake with friends with their kids all close by. We even had bunk beds in it. The dogs would play; the kids would play; it was so much fun. It was one of the things I missed most when we split up! Winter was my favorite season...it was like going to the cabin for the weekend (minus a real cabin if that makes sense). Lot of fresh air and sunshine! So glad you had a good time! Tim and I have gone several times and enjoy it also, but the ice is pretty iffy around here lately which kind of takes the fun out of it. lol Congrats on the 2 lb loss!

    @BlueAyedgirl I love your goal to reconnect via snail mail. What a great idea! Who doesn't like hearing from an old friend, and who doesn't like getting something besides a bill in the mail? :)

    Have a great day everyone!

    Trip was good. Bruins won the hockey game. Got to see the kiddo and the BF. Ate too much, spent to much on food that wasn't as good as it looked. Hate when that happens. Went for decadent the first night with steak and lobster mashed potatoes. The steak was really good, but the lobster was overcooked. The restaurant was fancy with live jazz music. Day 2 we just went out for pizza. Ordered a small pizza to share and Tim accidentally ordered cheesy bread and bread sticks. Those were both full orders and way more food than we wanted. We laughed as the waitress brought it out. We had a hard time understanding the gentleman at the counter and really messed up. We boxed up all of the bread sticks and 3/4 of the cheesy bread and headed back to the hotel. Offered the box to a homeless gentleman and his dog, but he was on the move and was unable to carry it. For dinner we tried another new place where I ordered an inside out grilled cheese (I LOVE grilled cheese). It wasn't bad, but I miss the butter toasted bread flavor. Guess I'm just not one for twists on a classic. Day 3 we met friends for brunch, but the restaurant was packed and had a 45 minute wait so we ended up at more of a lunch spot. I got a flatbread, though I didn't really feel like pizza again. Luckily it sucked, so I didn't waste that many calories on it. Ate some Pringles on the way home and had good Mexican for dinner. Tonight Tim is making Cornish Hens. Biggest thing for me after a quick trip is just how tired I am. Went to bed early Saturday, took a 4 hour nap Sunday plus went to bed early and I'm still low energy. Ughhhh. My sleep study can't happen soon enough. Then there is the guilt about not seeing mom for a few days. That is on my list for this evening.

    JFT Monday
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Approve time cards
    - Discipline a coworker. Hate that part of my job.
    - Meetings
    - Forgot lunch and heading into afternoon meetings
    - Leave work by 4:30
    - Mom's by 5:00
    - Stop at Joann's fabric to pick up some clearance items.
    - Walmart/Kroger (out of deodorant)
    - Home for dinner, eat half as much as I think I can...
    - Shower
    - Bed early

    1) Church 9:00 :smiley: (first time in 3 wks)
    2) Hubby & I went out for brunch & I didn't go crazy but I'm not going to attempt logging / limit sweets & snacks / light supper / 80 oz water :neutral:
    3) OT exercises (6x) & putty (2x) :smiley: / min. 6000 steps :smiley:
    4) Confirm & pre-reg OT M appt / top up heated birdbath / finance tasks / put away snowman decorations / rehearse music / call Mom <3 (visit this week? Yes) / read / digital declutter / other? dusted after de-decorating :smiley: ta-da!

    JFT 3/3 M ~ Morning nice before rain moved in.
    1) Leftovers for supper / limit sweets & snacks / log all food / net calories zero / 64 oz. water
    2) Walked dog while weather decent & I had the time :smiley: 3.28 mi happy dog & happy me
    3) OT exercises & putty
    4) OT appt noon / drive to MJSW's 2:30 with tax docs & visit (we're former co-workers & still good friends) / choir rehearsal 6:30 / usual M garbage chores / read / digital declutter / other?

    About me:
    I'm Carmela
    This is my lifestyle. It's. Not. A. Diet.
    Height 5'4"
    67 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2025 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... always better for me
    • Try new recipes Repeat goal, and very pleased with last year.
      * apple/banana muffins {foodfaithfitness.com} ~ better if I'd used correct amt of vanilla LOL
      * apple/banana cake w/ cream cheese frosting {thesouthernladycooks.com} ~ made for Mom's bday, big hit
      * slow cooker chicken noodle soup {purewow.com} ~ very easy to make & tasty
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x):
    January: 5 days x1wk; 4x2; 2x1; 1x1 {weather, overnight trip, bdays & prep}
    February: 4 days x1wk; 3x2; 0x1 {sick, weather}
    • Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    • PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
      Jan 4x; Feb 2x; Mar x
    4) MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,025km challenge started on Jan. 1
    • In 2024 I logged 656.61 miles, or 1,056.74 km & completed yearly challenge 12.10.24 :star: {finger laceration & 9 stitches 11.22.24 with only 10.36 mi to go... oops}
    • In 2023 I logged 726.88 miles, or 1,169.8 km & completed yearly challenge 11.14.23 :star:
    • In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km {knee issues w/ arthritis}.
    5) At least 7,500 steps per day
    • I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 5,000 steps:
      Jan /
    6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
    • Register for Bellin 10K race
    • Register for Packers 5K
    • Maybe Annual Bridge Walk on The Mighty Mac w/ siblings (1st time 2024)
    • Register for Bellin Women's 5K
    • Add other events??? [Of my past events, two that I loved ended with COVID, another is on parkway trails/hills that involve rocks, tree roots & steep climb at the end, too hard on my arthritic knees. Another is an evening event in January, but hubby is home evenings now that he's retired, so I'm less inclined, and another winter (mid-Feb.) event has been replaced in 2025 by another earlier in Feb. The winter ones can be hard on my knees because of frigid temps, plus footing can be an issue (snow/ice) and I no longer care to participate. Wow, that's 5 events I no longer do. Sad me. Upside is the cost savings, as entry fees are higher than ever.]
    • Registered for 4.26.25 NFL Draft Day 5K
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together... always a good idea

    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
    • Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ Mom is 88, Dad 90, and live 85 miles away
      ~ overnight visit 1.15-1.16 / talked w/ aunt (phone); played cribbage & chicken foot
      ~ visit along with hubby & family for Mom's 88th bday 1.31 / C&J, S, W, aunt, niece & W there for wonderful time
      ~ overnight visit 2.11-2.12 / aunt visited day 1 afternoon / youngest brother visited morning day 2
      ~ canceled overnight visit 2.25-2.26 due to me being sick
    • Monthly contact with former colleagues & other friends, now that I'm retired
      1.8.25 lunch with "real" ABC old-timers
      2.13.25 out of town lunch & visit with hubby's eldest brother & SIL
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office, basement, books in living room... ongoing with me

    My Word for the Year 2025: Judicious ~ I just like the way the word sounds, and the meaning is right for me: having or showing reason and good judgment in making decisions. I can apply this word in so many ways!

    Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow.

    I guess tomorrow we'll have the new Rich Text Editor. Hopefully it has a lot of good stuff. Will miss the color text thought :'(

    Recap Friday-Monday, 2/28-3/3
    Log - Filled some in late, but 4/4
    Hydrate - 4/4
    Exercise - 2/4
    Cardiologist - Not the best news, so I'm heading back on Thursday.
    Straighten house for the weekend - Did most on Saturday
    Relax - Spent time with family

    I'm not off to the best start with daily check-ins. I saw a new electro-cardiologist on Friday and was stressed and discouraged for the the rest of the day. My arrythmia has gotten worse (I usually don't feel it, so they catch it on a monitor). I'd been doing well managing it with meds for quite a while, but apparently that's no longer working so well. I think I was particularly discouraged because I know some of that is my fault for not taking care of my health and keeping my weight down. I was just a mess for the rest of the day, obsessively checking my heart rate and worrying about everything under the sun. Fortunately, weekend plans with the kids and grandkids were a good enough distraction to snap me out of it.

    Thanks for welcoming me back! It'll be an interesting week, but I'll try to catch up with reading your posts and making a habit of setting daily goals again.

    JFT Monday

    - Read back my comments on page 1, see if I can get myself in that mind frame.
    - Set up my food plan via Chat GPT.
    - Draw/write myself a list of things that improve my life. Like taking my meds, getting water in etc and good choices.
    (And make it pretty! It's going on the wall!)

    - Started ironing the clothes for Vinted and just get em on there!
