    @Bex953172 Aw thanks. I never thought I would get here. I started maintaining nearly 3 years ago when I hit 155. Then noticed the weight was still very slowly dropping, so kept on to see how far it would go. 😂

    - Log everything ✓ I tried my best, but I might have forgotten one or two of the small snacks I had. Went on a bit of a comfort binge due to extreme fatigue, stress, and my monthly

    - 10,000 steps X 7625. Not bad for still recovering from extreme fatigue and sitting to work on crafts a lot
    - Complete plan checklist ✓
    - Work on crafts for store opening ✓ Progress is slow. I'm worried I won't have as much prepared as I had hoped for the opening

    3) Net calories zero / 14c water :smiley: green 37, high sodium :/ , fiber excellent, protein low-ish, sugar good, 104 oz. water
    4) Make skillet pan lasagna for supper ~ yum / shovel snow? yes 45 min. / 1-2 ta-da's :neutral: not much but TA-DA
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:00 alarm (treadmill before work) :smiley: 6/6

    JFT R 1/6
    1) Treadmill 3 miles before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / pace in office during webinar
    3) Supper? / net calories zero / 112 oz. water
    4) Catch up daily work log comments / clear some email backlog / Facebook Live 12:00 / webinar 2:00 / online training if time
    5) Shovel snow? / place citrus order / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / another ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:00 alarm (treadmill before work)

    Yesterday after work, I was surprised to see that snow plow had gone through our outlying neighborhood already, creating the usual snow ridge at end of driveway. Our driveway is very wide (fits 3 cars) and the longest in our block. Happy that hubby had shoveled before he left for work, snow not so deep when I got home. Also glad snow was dry & fluffy, not wet & heavy. I took care of kitty & dog, changed clothes, and shoveled entire driveway, snow ridge, curb under mailbox, front walkway & back patio. Fitbit recognized activity as Walk. Whatever. Helped keep my net calories green. Depending on when today's snow showers end & if hubby shovels before work, I may have to shovel again tonight. Maybe there will be enough snow for next week's workplace hike to be on snowshoes. That would be fun.
    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT 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.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
    • started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
    • registered for Frenzy on the Fox 5K on 1.21.22
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22
    • will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • watch for other events to add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement

    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Well, yesterday's "balanced" eating plan didn't quite go as intended. Far too many sweets. In addition to the planned small cup of ice cream, I started the day with pastry for "second breakfast," skipped lunch but had a cookie with my tea in the afternoon, and ate a few chocolates in the evening. Not exactly consistent with the Mediterranean eating plan recommended by my cardiologist. (Dinner was fine - salmon, asparagus, and brown rice - but I should have chosen fruit instead of candy.) Tonight my daughter's family is coming for dinner since my son is heading home tomorrow. I'm making chicken and cheese enchiladas, a family favorite, but not exactly low in salt, saturated fat, or calories. Well, I'll be aiming for balance again today and hopefully avoiding the sugary stuff.

    Recap Wednesday, 1/5
    Balanced meals - Not quite
    Stay hydrated - :)
    Walk - :)
    Enjoy the ice cream - :)
    One chore - No
    Tutoring session - :)
    Lego project - start phase 2! - :)
    Bed by midnight? - :) Yes!

    JFT Thursday, 1/6
    Balanced meals
    Stay hydrated
    Walk or stationary bike
    Quick grocery run
    Make enchiladas
    Lego project (if there's time)
    Enjoy time with family
    Bed by midnight?

    Hi all

    I think I forgot to update last night. Took ages at the vet but luckily little Monty the cat is on the mend now. I’m so relieved. Also really pleased that, even though we got back late, cold, tired and hungry, I still made good food choices and stayed under. It’s like things have clicked for me, and I’m far stronger willed because I’m in the zone.

    Another good food and exercise day today. Will need to challenge myself a bit now - add in some different exercise and/or add to my running mileage.

    Hope you are all doing well - nearly Friday!

    Wednesday goals recap:
    Morning run ✅ 1 mile
    Builder to visit for shed base quote 7:30am 😖 I was ready, but he bailed on me
    Call vet again ✅ and visited ✅
    Finish planning✅
    Check with M re MTP✅
    Stay within calorie goal✅
    Water✅
    Pick up LFD tests at school❌ Forgot
    Leave on time ✅

    Thursday goals:
    Morning run ✅ 2 miles
    Walk kids to school ✅
    Print maths worksheets ✅
    New timetable ✅
    Leave by 12:30 ✅
    Stay within calorie goal ✅
    Water ❌ not been great today. It was so cold I just kept making coffee
    Early night - I need this! Cat worries have kept me up two nights

    Hi everyone! Thanks for the warm welcome @Bex953172 :blush: Back again today. Today I showed up, stopped eating when I was full instead of finishing what was on my plate, I drank water and poured out half my coffee! Just for today I will give myself credit for all I have accomplished! And speak nicely to myself when I think about what I did not.

    So nice to see you back! And yes ... you had a great day!

    @cschmitz110515 Carmela, it’s great that you both take the time to keep the sidewalk clear. I’m sure older people, and those less able must appreciate it when people do that.
    @Snowflake1968 Tracey, I know what you mean about time and energy. I don’t always get in here every day.
    @Faebert Well done on staying on track.

    I think I have caught the thing, so trying to get over that. DH is further along than I am, getting better. Thankfully I have a few days to catch up on tasks once I get better. Yesterday I didn't really track (went way over calories), just focused on eating a large variety of food/veggies/fruits.

    There has been quite a bit of snow lately, everything looks so very white! I wish I felt better so I can go out and enjoy the deep snow one last time before we move.

    @Faebert Thank you, packing is going alright despite the interrupting with this illness. We're also getting a few things that we'll need that won't be available there. It's so satisfying peeking at the package, crossing it off the list, and putting it on the pile "already packed!!". haha I hate moving too. At least this time has a since of adventure, and much prayer.

    @Outdoorsy_Canadian Evening snacking is one of my stumbling blocks too. I'm trying to replace it with tea.

    @cschmitz110515 Thank you, I'll keep looking to try to help DH.

    @Bex953172 It looks like you're already practicing your word of the year: determination! You can do it!!

    @clicketykeys You got this!

    @Janele0627 You're opening a crafts store! How exciting! I hope it goes really well for you! Are you online too by chance?

    @AJB1014 I need to do something similar with portions too, put back half or a third. And more water.

    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: 196.0

    Ongoing plans/ideas

    These are not up to date. See regular weekday plans. Include previous WOTYs though.

    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
    2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into
    6. Medical: Dentist May 12. ObG schedule for 2022 after 9/28. PCP March? Therapy 9:15 12/29. Ankle 9:15 12/27.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Jan 12 7P.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. @MrsHermit I did! Overall things went well. Attendance was only at about 70%, which... honestly I can't do anything about that so I need to just not dwell on it.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    - Log all food ✔️
    - 4 waters✔️
    - 10k steps✔️
    - Clean kitchen❌
    - Exercise ✔️

    Our money hit the account last night. So at midnight I went and got a McDonald's.
    And after it I still had 79 Cal's remaining 😂 good job I did that exercise!
    We had no food in and me and ash were both hungry (we'd had dinner but we're still hungry in general) and with McDonalds over the road it's just easy.
    And you know what, I really enjoyed it lol.

    Today is ALSO takeaway night so I'll have to bear that in mind so I'll need to make good choices in the day (will have to go food shopping first lol!!!)

    JFT Friday 7th

    - Log all food
    - 10k steps
    - 6 waters today
    - Food shopping

    Not sure whether to weigh in due to TOTM and McDonalds. I dunno if it will be accurate.

    @AJB1014 Before I forget again, welcome back! Good to see you posting again. How's little Ray (I think that's his name) doing? Is he 1 or 2 yo now?

    Recap R 1/6
    1) Treadmill 3 miles before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / pace in office during webinar :smiley: 14/14 boom! 25 floors & 15.4K
    3) Supper? leftovers / net calories zero / 112 oz. water :s -427 due to stress evening snacking, sodium not bad, protein & fiber excellent, sugar high, 96 oz.
    4) Catch up daily work log comments / clear some email backlog / Facebook Live 12:00 / webinar 2:00 / online training if time = 2/5
    5) Shovel snow? just patio, hubby did rest / place citrus order / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / another ta-da? sort of = 2/5
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:00 alarm (treadmill before work) = 5/6

    JFT F 1/7
    1) Remain calm ~ things will work out ~ keep praying
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    3) Supper w/ hubby at home? / net calories zero / 112 oz. water
    4) Catch up daily work log comments / clear some email backlog / online training / update Project Status s/s / submit PRO, PAR, KRO s/s

    6) Enjoy hubby being home in evening / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. (treadmill in a.m.)

    Work issues for myself this week have been causing me stress, but managing. Then last night, work issues for hubby came to boiling point, and he clocked out early and took vacation time for rest of this week. He scared me silly walking in last night while I finished up caring for kitty and dog. Then when he told me what happened, I completely stressed out for him... not good. Using Calm app, I was able to fall asleep normal time, but woke during night & felt stressed all over. Finally got calmed & slept again, but no early a.m. workout today.
    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT 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.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
    • started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
    • registered for Frenzy on the Fox 5K on 1.21.22
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22
    • will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • watch for other events to add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement

    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    We got our first real snow of the season last night - woo hoo! My son decided to stay another day before heading south. Although I'm sorry his plans for visiting a friend and stopping overnight with my other son fell through, I'm happy to have more time with him. My daughter's kids have a snow day, so they'll be over later. And my husband is working from home and not too busy, so it feels like the weekend already.

    Recap - Thursday, 1/6
    Balanced meals - :) Not too bad. I filled half of my plate with salad and had only one enchilada. No snacks during the day, but I had some chocolate fondue with fruit for dessert.
    Stay hydrated - :)
    Walk or stationary bike - :)
    Quick grocery run - :/ - Not exactly quick. The store was mobbed, but I did get everything I needed.
    Make enchiladas - :)
    Lego project (if there's time) - :) A few frustrating bits, but we made lots of progress.
    Enjoy time with family - :)<3:)
    Bed by midnight? - Not even close. Stayed up far too late researching home BP monitors. Still undecided!

    JFT Friday, 1/7
    Balanced meals
    Stay hydrated
    Walk in the snow
    Straighten house for the weekend
    Lego project

    SW: Feb 5: 191.8
    SW: Mar 5: 193
    SW: April 2: 190.4
    SW: May 188
    SW: June 190
    SW: July: -- skipped this month
    SW: August: 184.6
    **Skipped recording weigh-ins from August until just now... this is what has happened. Gain of 15 pounds over the holidays. This is something every year I struggle with .. gaining from Halloween until New Years. THIS year, I will learn how to NOT let this happen .
    Weight history 2021
    Friday, Jan 8: 194.4 -1.2
    Jan 15: 194.6. +.2 I was down to 193.4 2 days ago .. but this reflects 2 days of mindless eating.
    Jan 22: 191.4 -3.2 5 out of 7 days were good ...
    Jan 29: 194.2 -- this is what happens when I don't track, give into stress and emotional eating. But ... My word for the year is consistency... that means consistently also recording my weight .. and being accountable. So its a new week.. again.
    Feb 5: 191.8 -- trying to get back on track with controlled nite time eating
    Feb 12: 194.3 --- I don't know why, but I can do good for a week, only to blow it the next week. I think the pandemic, the cold dreary weather is leading me to just overeat.
    Feb 19: 194 --- a very small loss, due to 4 days of overeating granola bars and Kind bars.
    Feb 26: 193 -- 5 out of 7 days I did OK, especially with nite time snacking.
    Mar 5: 193 -- stayed the same, but had 2 days of eating icecream and peeps
    Mar 12: 192.6. Started challenge of the rest of the month NO nite time eating at all.
    Mar 19: 190.4 -- 5 out of 7 days NO nite time eating. Goal next week ... 6 our of 7 day no nite time eating, 8+ glasses water @ day.
    March 26: 188.6--- 6 out of 7 days I did good .. no nite time eating. Last nite... food was in control of me. I was so tired, and instead of lying down... I grazed the entire nite. So much that I had trouble sleeping. So while right now my weight is down, I expect it to go up. So next weeks goal is 7 out of 7 days.
    April 2: 190.4 --- not the best week.. but I am still down 5.2 pounds for the first 3 months of this year. So I will look at the positives.
    April 9: 191.2 --- even though I had a OK week, I think eating ham for 3 days .. hoping its just water weight.
    April 16: 187.6 -- a week of more mindful eating, especially in the evenings, plus a lot more exercise with walking and garden work.
    April 23: 187 -- a very small loss, but at least the scale is going in the right direction. I will continue to work on the nite time snacking and emotional eating.
    April 30 188.8 -- got into the ice cream again.I am just 10 pounds before I am in a healthy, normal weight for my height.. but those 10# have been the hardest. I met that goal in 2019 ... trying to get back there.
    May 14: 188.0 -- A week of terrible back pain, so I wasn't really watching, or caring what I ate. So happy that I at least did not gain much.
    May 21: 185.6 -- lots of walking and yard work this past week.
    June 4: 190.1 -- this is what happens when I am not paying attention to habits, etc.
    Missed tracking weight almost all through june and july. back on track now
    July 30: 186.8 --- trying to plan dinner meal better, and doing a lot of walking. Gave up caffeine .. on week 3 now.
    August 5: 184.8 ---- good week. No caffeince, which actually helped with my eating. Planning at least dinner meal is also helping me.
    **Skipped recording weigh-ins from August until just now... this is what has happened. Gain of 15 pounds over the holidays. This is something every year I struggle with .. gaining from Halloween until New Years. THIS year, I will learn how to NOT let this happen .

    2022 Weigh-ins
    SW: Jan 1: 199.0

    Jan 7: 201.6 --- feeling so depressed with this sore on my back... and I guess been eating out of stress/boredom. Not sleeping, so no motivaton. doctor put me on a second round of antibiotics .. so I hope it starts to heel. But I need to get more serious about logging my food ... hate being out of the 100s again! Always said I'd never let this happen.

    Happy Friday! Although, most days tend to run together now while I'm not working, Friday is still my favorite day. :) It's getting harder and harder to not go back to work. I'm not sure what I could do full-time with the different physical issues I am being treated for, so I have to work to keep my spirits up every day since I tend to get depressed in the winter anyway. I'm trying to focus on getting healthier by trying new foods, recipes, activities, etc.

    @AJB1014 Welcome back! How is your little guy doing? How have you been? So happy to see you back!

    @Bex953172 I haven't had McDonald's in such a long time! I think they have the best fries of all fast foods and could eat them every day I think.

    @Snowflake1968 I find myself hopping on and reading to catch up and then running out of time to post my own goals. I have to find a happy balance this year because I don't want to be so absent again. I find I just can't reply to everything I want to if I want to post goals also.

    Just for Friday
    1. 24H plan and assess | follow plan | eat only when hungry | stop at 'enough'
    2. Drink 64+ oz of water
    3. Close activity rings on watch
    4. Incorporate 5 something's at bathroom doorway and bedroom doorways
    5. Listen to Module 1 of No BS in preparation for 2:00 call with Accountability Group
    6. Bills/Budget for January
    7. Make Lentil Soup recipe
    8. Check for transfer from CCU to WMCU
    9. Self-Care: Calm App / reading / etc.
    10. Evening routine: Coffeemaker set up / brush & floss / facial / readings by Dodie or Joyce and Simple Abundance / Gratitude Journal / read until lights out.

    WOTY 2022: Resilient.

    **Skipped recording weigh-ins from August until just now... this is what has happened. Gain of 15 pounds over the holidays. This is something every year I struggle with .. gaining from Halloween until New Years. THIS year, I will learn how to NOT let this happen .

    Jan 7: 201.6 --- feeling so depressed with this sore on my back... and I guess been eating out of stress/boredom. Not sleeping, so no motivaton. doctor put me on a second round of antibiotics .. so I hope it starts to heel. But I need to get more serious about logging my food ... hate being out of the 100s again! Always said I'd never let this happen.

    Dont worry yourself! Like you said it's been a tough week. And I know it's not the best start to the year and you didn't want to be out of the 100s but it's only just over!
    You can do this!! A new day, a new week! I know when you're feeling better you'll get right on track because you'll *feel* like doing it!
