Replies

Recap 1/6 M ~ Temp not horrible but wind from the north is, wind chill is single digits again. I'm staying inside today.
1) Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ weighed some peanut M&Ms,,, then ate MORE from the dish
/ log all food / net calories zero ~ maybe red 476 / 80 oz. water ~ at least I did my water 
2) Min. 5000 steps ~ > 5400
/ PT exercises *sigh*
3) Laundry (not so many loads when I keep up) / make power muffins with old bananas & freeze some / read / digital declutter / other? washed dishes, including all the pots, again
TA-DA!
JFT 1/7 T ~ I'd rather we got all the snow falling south of us than our cold, dreary weather.
1) Leftovers again / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
2) Min. 5000 steps / some kind of workout
3) Massage at spa 11:15 / put away clean dishes / fold & put away line-dried laundry / start to put away Christmas decorations, now that Epiphany arrived / 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
- Try new recipes Repeat goal, and very pleased with last year.
January: 5 days x1wk;- 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 1x;
- 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} - In 2023 I logged 726.88 miles, or 1,169.8 km & completed yearly challenge 11.14.23
- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km {knee issues w/ arthritis}.
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 5,000 steps:
- 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.]
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 nearly 88, Dad 90, and live 85 miles away
~ planned overnight visit 1.15-1.16 - Monthly contact with former colleagues & other friends, now that I'm retired
1.8.25 lunch planned with "real" ABC old-timers
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!0 -

I didn’t actually walk on Monday for exercise, but I ended up emptying my fridge and cooking all of the meat in my freezer because my fridge died. This was after getting the motherboard replaced on my furnace earlier in the day because it went too. 😩
I’m hoping that’s it for the year and not just the start of things.
I’ll catch up this evening.3 -

I broke down and logged my food for the first time in a looong time. I was pleasantly surprised.1

Hey all, so I have successfully completed my first week!
Ive had a very good first week. Which is how it usually starts and then goes downhill! But hopefully I can just keep going this time!
I was within my deficit most days. The only days I had eaten over only adds up to 23 calories 😂 but i managed to "bank" around 1000!
I've attached my spreadsheet that I've been doing. I know it looks similar to MFP but it's more of a weekly overview. It means I can monitor how I do over the week and I can tweak it if I'm getting off track.
Oh I also have my start weight for the year!
Not sure if I'm going to weigh weekly or fortnightly? What do you guys think?
Either way my SW is 79.4kg / 175 lbs
And I want to lose 13.4kg / 30 lbs2 -
Oh also now with it being a new week. My "banked" calories from last week get written off. I start at 0 again for the new week!
Had to take a day off the gym, totally TMI for me to share why 😂 but I'm gonna go get myself sorted out today and then ice got the dentist soon

I know I typed yesterday’s post but I must have messed up when posting it as I can’t find it so I’ll recap Monday and Tuesday and post today’s goals. My new Fitbit has arrived so I can include some Fitbit goals. I also need to learn how to use it as I think managed to double enter yesterday’s exercise by not getting synchronisation between MFP and Fitbit right.
Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th
Log food ✅
Exercise - rowing machine & repeat video ✅
Alcohol free day - I’m not doing “dry January” but I was drinking above the recommended limits so I’m cutting back. ✅
Drink 1 flask of water ✅
Wednesday 7th
Log food
Exercise - rowing machine & repeat video
Alcohol free day - I’m not doing “dry January” but I was drinking above the recommended limits so I’m cutting back.
Drink 2 flasks of water
Meet Fitbit hourly movement goal
Meet Fitbit zone goal
Leave the Christmas cake alone - I have been logging but my limited of progress suggests I’ve been far from accurate and the logging of the cake is complete guess work.

Made a mistake on my earlier post 😂 I didn't eat over by 23 calories. I added up two different things LOL
On the days I over ate it was actually around 95.1 -

Have gotten off track the past 3 days... snowed in with 9+ inches of snow! The only good thing is the shoveling.. but my weight "had" been steady going down. Discouraging to see it back up 2 pounds.
but... I am telling myself this is life, and I'll get back at it better today.
Todays goals, 1/8
1. weight myself. I am keeping a separate sheet for myself with my weekly weigh-ins, and will just record on here by the month. That way I can see (hopefully!) progress each month, and not get discouraged.
2. log all food. Eat only what I have planned today
3. concentrate on water
4. chip away at cleaning driveway. Its ice now!! Hubby can't do it because I worry about him having a heart attack, and he has heart problems, so i'm just doing it slowly. But boy.. this is when I miss having a garage! The car is full of ice also.. finally got my car at least driveable.. but the plow put a bunch of snow at the end of the driveway.. so have to move that!
5. find youtube video to get some exercise. I did a walking video this morning.. only did 15 minutes. Do another one this afternoon.
6. work on crochet
7. practice piano
8. when I want to eat.. check my list of things to do. Mainly, wait 10 minutes.1 -
@bex -- great job this week!!!0

Quock check-in - we have no electricity!
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.1 -

1. weight myself. I am keeping a separate sheet for myself with my weekly weigh-ins, and will just record on here by the month. That way I can see (hopefully!) progress each month, and not get discouraged.
2. log all food. Eat only what I have planned today
3. concentrate on water
4. chip away at cleaning driveway. Its ice now!! Hubby can't do it because I worry about him having a heart attack, and he has heart problems, so i'm just doing it slowly. But boy.. this is when I miss having a garage! The car is full of ice also.. finally got my car at least driveable.. but the plow put a bunch of snow at the end of the driveway.. so have to move that! It is like a ice skating rink!!!!
5. find youtube video to get some exercise. I did a walking video this morning.. only did 15 minutes. Do another one this afternoon.
6. work on crochet
7. practice piano
8. when I want to eat.. check my list of things to do. Mainly, wait 10 minutes. Got into chocolate chips today
1. log ALL food
2. concentrate on 8+ water
3. mindful eating!!! Wait 10 minutes .. drink water.. clean a closet.. distract myself for 10 minutes.
4. try and chip away at ice off driveway!! And they are calling for more snow on friday!

The weather here is rubbish. It's been snowing the last few days. Now don't get me wrong, I know it's nothing compared to snow in the USA. But its very icy too!
It snows like 1cm then freezes it
No good for the kids. No good for snow balls. No good for a snowman. No good for sledging. All it's actually doing is freezing my bins shut 😂 I have to keep throwing hot water over to melt the ice to open them but it's a losing battle because that water will freeze it shut again!
And I used to laugh at my steering wheel heater. Now I can understand why the car needs it 😂 it was -3°C and I could not hold my steering wheel 😂
I don't like winter that much.
