Did well with food yesterday, but went a little over on alcohol. Goal was 2 or fewer light beers, actuality was 4 plus a shot… Didn't bring lunch yesterday and didn't go to the caf. Ate some beef jerky in the car after work and then had a salad for dinner. Planned on shrimp with the salad, but the kitchen closed early at the restaurant. Stayed up watching WVU / Utah bb game, and now I'm tuckered out today. Hopefully I can squeeze in a nap after work, before trivia.

Not sure what's up with MFP. Lists are automatically double-spaced, including the goals I copy-pasted from the day before. Looks like we have fewer editing tools too. :(

How do to the spoiler
Highlight the text to put behind the spoiler, then click the little paragraph mark to the left (looks like a weird musical note); then there's a set of quotes; click those, and you should see the spoiler.
Here's the text I want in the spoiler.
Single line spacing is a challenge.
Highlight the text that you want single spaced.
You will see a blue bar to the right.
Click that bar, and it will give you formatting options.
The easiest way I see is to click where it says "enter your own" and then select single line spacing or a similar variation.
It may take a few tries.Good Luck!!!

Well I knew there were going to be changes, but did not expect that I could no longer comment & update on my post in Quote from the day before. Also did not expect the double space aspect. Kinda sucks. Hint: Using "list" format with numbers eliminates the double-spacing, apparently.
JFT 3/5 Ash Wednesday ~ Wet heavy snow falling, very windy. No dog walk today.
- Leftovers for supper / limit sweets & snacks / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
- Min. 5000 steps / OT exercises (6x), putty (2x) & massage scar
- Rehearse music / arrive church 5:30 for run-thru / 6:00 Ash Wed service
- Wash bedding / prep/mail bday card to eldest brother / faith/life survey / confirm & pre-reg R OT appt / download clinician's notes / read / digital declutter / pack for overnight trip to parents' / Amazing Race / other?
ETA: Still can "edit" for 1 hour after posting, but no way to comment inside Quote. Lost all my old spoilers, which I loved, also my WOTY. Will retype that here.
WOTY 2025: Judicious ~ I just like the way the word sounds, and the meaning is right for me: having or showing reason and good judgement in making decisions. I can apply this word in so many ways!
More playing around. Copied my JFT goals from yesterday's post & pasted here. Had to manually eliminate some line spacing, but apparently works.
JFT 3/4 T
1) Supper? / limit sweets & snacks / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
2) Walked dog 3.77 mi, farthest we've gone since her toe amputation in Nov. & she was dragging last few blocks but not limping
happy dog & happy me
3) OT exercises (6x), putty (2x), massage scar tissue
4) Rehearse music / call Mom / wash dishes / read / digital declutter / declutter 15 min. / other?

@itladyee Just wondering, what device are you using? I don't see the same stuff in order to edit.

This is a test to save my info and goals I had in spoilers. FYI I copied and pasted.
About me:

67 yrs old
Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA2025 Goals:
1) Ultimate goal weight

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}

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
{finger laceration & 9 stitches 11.22.24 with only 10.36 mi to go... oops}

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 tokeep 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 sickMonthly 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

Sorry for my mistakes as I'm trying different devices (android phone, PC) to make edits. Not working the way I tried. And apparently I can no longer delete a post.
Yay I finally did a spoiler. FYI I also found under News and Announcements a Community Update to Rich Editor Format. It's dated Feb 18 but there's also a Reply underneath with lots of tips for editing. Not that I'll use much of it, but thought I could be helpful to some of you. Good luck!

Puppy picture of the day! Graduation in March 14th, but here is a cute graduation photo. I'm so excited to get him back. I miss the little beast.

—> Hour commitment -
I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.
2 -
Still feeling terrible… just hoping this bad head cold goes away soon! Its a very cold, windy day today, so I guess good to stay inside. Only plus is that I'm not hungry and not eating as much LOL!
I finally figured all this spoiler stuff out!
log my food
- concentrate on water today
- concentrae on protein
- rest and get over this cold!!
Word for the year 2025: Commitment. Do not give up. Even on the hard days... stay focused for the long term goals and lifestyle change I need to make.
This years goals: To learn to crochet and make charity items. While I love to sew.. sometimes I am just too tired to sit by the sewing machine. This is hand work.. I can spend time with hubby, not be eating, and accomplish something
Monthly goals:
SW: 216.4
GW: 175-180
1st GW: 200
SW January.
219. 5. I am going to aim for a 4 pound weight loss each month.. this should be doable.
By putting this down.. modest goals.. yet attainable. It takes time.. I will not get to my goal weight by April or May.. but by the end of the year, I want to be proud of myself, and start 2026 in my best health I can be.
Feb: 212 - Actual was 209
March: 208 - actual is still 216.8. 2 months of not staying on track. March is my month to stay on track. Remember my goals.. 1 pound a week should be doable.
April: 204
May: 200
June: 196
July: 192 (my 74th birthday)
August: 188
Sept: 184
Oct: 180
Nov: 176
December: 172 -- What a feeling it will be at the end of the year to be at goal weight, and start 2026 in the best health I can be.Mindset goals:
drink water
wait 10 minutes
email a friend
go for a walk
clean or organize a closet
work on crochet
sew
kitchen is closed at 8 pm every nite4 -

Kinda behind.. its been a busy few days.
@PackerFanInGB thanks, yes it was a great day for sure. Wisconsin is much like Minnesota I suppose with how they take ice fishing pretty serious. I have seen pictures of the ice fishing "towns" on some of the Minnesota lakes. I think it wont' be long and many of our lakes will also be getting iffy. I am glad I went. We also have pike and perch that are commonly fished for but you can't be salmon!
Work has been soul sucking lately. Between staff changes, internal policy changes and clients being difficult.. its been alot. So many meetings , its like I can't even catch my breath before more stuff is being thrown at me or some other dumpster fire needs attention. It all makes me anxious when I can't get my actual work done.
As a result, my workouts have been a bit shorter this week and I am not hitting my 10K steps consistently however, I had a big accomplishment. I was finally able to move up to 20 lb dumbbells for shoulder presses. This has been a week spot for me but I have been working on progressive overload workouts and I finally made a bit of a breakthrough. Maybe this seems like a silly thing but it was kind of a big deal.
have a good rest of your week

JFT Wednesday 5th March
Log all food ✅

Housework ✅
JFT Thursday 6th March
- Log all food
- Stay in the green
- No snacking
- Exercises
- Morning meeting
- Garden
- Walk (dog?)
- Read half an hour, non fiction
I read fiction at night, when I can't sleep, but I never read in the daytime. I guess when I was busy as a working single mother it felt too indulgent. I have time now, and a box of books to read. Hoping putting it as a goal will get me into the habit.

Things that worked yesterday are not working today. This update is absolutely horrible. It's taking me 3x as long to update…..not a happy camper. IF I only posted on one group….I might be able to tolerate it, but I'm going to have to figure something else out.
@cschmitz110515 ~ I have the Grammarly extension enabled on my browser. And it’s giving me the additional formatting options…that are very inconsistent.

Yesterday was a mixed bag. I logged, staying under my calorie limit and staying hydrated, but I didn't hit my other goals (exercise, chores, grading). Instead, I went to Joann to pick up some fabric that I need for a craft. While I was there, I picked up a bunch of yarn, mostly their Big Twist store brand. I'm so sad their closing!!! I can get yarn in lots of places, but losing their sewing and fabric departments will send me scrambling. I have another EKG this afternoon, so I'm trying to fit in what I can this morning. All bets are off after that. Guess I'll see what the doc says and go from there.
JFT Thursday, 3/6
- Log
- Hydrate
- Exercise
- Make mushroom soup
- Laundry
- Doc
- Grading?
- Relax

I'd kill to be up to 20lb dumbbells on shoulder press. Even when I was really fit, my shoulders struggled to do 10lbs. Glad you had fun ice fishing!

I'm still dog tired. I went to bed early and slept ok I think, but woke up exhausted. I've got to get this under control. I'm absolutely miserable day in and day out.
Trivia was good last night. We won by one point. I did eat all of my dinner instead of half, but I hadn't eaten all day, so I forgave myself. Limited the beer to 2 bottles and left right after trivia. Went home changed into my jammies and was asleep before 9:30…
Was actually on time for work today, but got texts before I even got here. Walked into some process issues. Nothing too awful. Thursdays are heavy with meetings until about 1:30. After that, there is a lull where I can get some things done.
Things are work are very tense, budget crunch and we ended all remote work. Morale is in the toilet. The plant manager is actually looking at gate log times to see how many hours folks have been working. There is zero trust. I am doing my best to stick up for my people, but some don't make it easy.
Hopefully tonight, we can stay home. I just need to rest.
JFT Thursday
- Work by 7:45 ✅
- Follow up on process issues✅
- Meetings ✅
- Stop and get a soda - momma needs some caffeine
- Log food
- Stay green

So I guess instead of using the Quote function, I can just copy & paste my prior day's goals in order to update. You're so right @itladyee this update has not been great, at least for the ways I use the Community. I miss the Preview/Draft feature too. Thanks for the tips!
@HappyDonkey75 Congrats on the heavier lift with dumbbells! Sorry work is such a drain.
@pridesabtch I would be exhausted if I was going, going, going as much as you do. Actually, thinking back to when I was younger, I could go that much, in spurts. LOL

- Min. 5000 steps / OT exercises (5x), putty (2x), massage scar / maybe walk with aunt?
- OT appt 9:15 ~ done / clean litter box / final packing & take boots / practice patience with Mom & Dad (I love them to pieces, but at times they frustrate me, each in their own way LOL) / other?
WOTY 2025: Judicious ~ I just like the way the word sounds, and the meaning is right for me: having or showing reason and good judgement in making decisions. I can apply this word in so many ways!

- log all food
