    Recap 1/17 F ~ Very blustery wind today, but at least not as cold.
    1) Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ too much! / log all food / net calories zero ~ not even close ACK! / 80 oz. water ~ 48?? :s
    2) Min. 5000 steps :smiley: / other?
    3) Grocery shopping / research new rewards procedures for UHC ~ had more issues than I realized, had to call Customer Service (which sucked) then tried online Chat (better, one issue resolved, but still have questions) & way more time than I anticipated UGH / clean toilets / read / digital declutter / other? topped up bird feeders & heated bird bath in anticipation of cold air returning :smiley: TA-DA!

    JFT 1/18 Sat. ~ Gorgeous sun out, but temp will only reach low 20s (F) & wind chill is 12.
    1) Blanket tie mission project 9 - 12 :smiley:
    2) Supper? / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
    3) Min. 5000 steps / other?
    4) Hubby finally packed up fake tree & took to basement so I put box in correct spot & put other stuff back to their spots / 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.
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x):
    January: 5 days x1wk; 4x1
    • 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 3x;
    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.]
    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 nearly 88, Dad 90, and live 85 miles away
      ~ overnight visit 1.15-1.16 / talked w/ aunt (phone); played cribbage & chicken foot
    • Monthly contact with former colleagues & other friends, now that I'm retired
      1.8.25 lunch planned with "real" ABC old-timers
    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!
