Thank you for the well wishes! Kitty is home and still doing well. Hes doing so well infact, that when I tried to gather him up to go back for rechecks he sunk his teeth into my arm in protest. He got me really good. He's a big old maine coon cat so its pretty painful. Went to the doctor today and since the cat was just ill....we have to continue to monitor him to be sure it isn't rabies. I'll have to go in for a transfusion if kitty deteriorates again. I got some antibiotics. I also was able to step on the doctor scale to compare my numbers from the beginning of the month. I was 225 Jan 3 and today I was 217! Big snow storm coming so, I'm going to the grocery store after work and Im just gonna take it easy this weekend, only goal will be DRINK WATER!!!3

Recap F 1/28 ~ hubby's birthday & I will make his traditional dinner (we started dating in 1995 and I have made this dinner for him every year since 1996)
1) Move hourly 7.3K 23floors 12/14
2) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water homemade soup (not by me) hard to guesstimate for lunch, hubby's traditional bday dinner of garlic bread, homemade spaghetti and chocolate cake with chocolate frosting YUM = -416, sodium not great, fiber ok, protein & calcium excellent, 88 oz. ? kinda lost track
3) Tech help 10:30 (Teams) progress made but 2nd log-in does not recognize me as user ~ next week / update & submit PAR, PRO, KRO s/s / update Project Status s/s / request PY Title 31 folders / afternoon PTO? yes whoopee = 4.5/5
4) Pick up french bread / bake chocolate cake from Hershey's recipe / make homemade spaghetti sauce / prep cards / hubby time 5/5
5) PT exercises / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. = 3/7
JFT Sat. 1/29
1) Move hourly but DO NOT stress about Fitbit numbers
2) PT exercises / alternate ice & heating pad
3) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
4) Laundry (already started) / find life ins. info / find Bellin 10K race history & submit to survey / start income tax questionnaire / prep bday cards for mom & sister / another ta-da?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren gel / Calm app / 7:30 alarm (9:00 church)
After 1 1/2 days of prescription for inflammation, plus alternating heat and ice, plus exercises, my knee is already starting to feel better. Not great, but better. Hubby noticed right away yesterday that I was walking more normally; so happy I can walk without limping. I'm very glad I went for medical diagnosis & physical therapy.
Now I must consistently follow medicos' treatment plan & hubby's advice: just because knee is getting better, DO NOT OVERDO. Hubby tells me this is when I may re-injure my knee. Tbh, I'm not always good at being patient, and I do want to resume walking for exercise. The thought even crossed my mind I still want to walk in the 5K race next Sat. that I'm already registered for, even though doctor nixed it. But I think medico & hubby are both right, I must give healing time.About me: CarmelaWord for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship
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
- Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
- 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
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 basement2 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (helps me visualize). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

I started a 21 day Sewing Area Declutter Challenge today. I had to clear my sewing table of all the accumulated none sewing clutter. I can now actually get at my machine to sew.
It’s hard to believe that January is almost over. It’s been so good to see the earlier dawn now that the days are getting longer. Roll on Spring.

Ongoing plans/ideas
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 GR purchase list.
2. E2: 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? Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Feb 8 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. Today was a very low-key day, and boy did I need it.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.1 -

I know I need to catch up with everyone 🤦♀️
I am sorry I have been in a bit of a slump and I'm trying to get myself out of it!!
For some reason, I feel the need to share this:
I have recently been on a journey to gather a variety of supplements to incorporate in my health journey. I am happy to say, I have finally completed my regimen!!
Gut health is so important to me bc it directly affects my entire body when my IBS flares. Well, no more!! I found something that has corrected my gut health and I swear everytime I take this supplement I do a little Happy Dance, Lol!!!
https://intelligenceofnature.com/collections/shop-all/products/gut-health-supplement?variant=39683611656246
It has been worth the extra expense bc it has improved my stomach which is priceless to me!!
Well, I'll stop myself, Lol!! I just love research and science!! 🤓👍
Happy Sunday!! I'll try to get back on here later to update my JFT. 🌷🤗🌷2 -

Hi everyone, took a break from posting (not logging) this weekend to rest and encourage DH to rest, then busy Sunday.
@TerriRichardson112 Decluttering sewing is kinda like shopping, you discover fabrics and unfinished projects and are hopefully inspired! DH has agreed to make me room for sewing in a corner as soon as we land, which is really nice of him. I've tried to keep my craft stuff organized when I packed them; tried. I hope you're enjoying the declutter and sewing!
@mytime6630 Happy Onderland! (below 200)
For me, I'm still packing, trying to work on my habit goals, including shoving boxes and stuff out of the way for some exercise. No loss, slight gain. Still working at it.
The habit list helps. I've decided to alternate packing and cleaning/spackling days. Doing better at destressing, breathing, and detaching myself from drama coming from relatives. It is helping me right now sticking to the fact that (I believe) this is a door that God opened and path HE wants us to walk, and we will walk it and trust HIM no matter what happens next. No sense worrying about the mountains possibly in our way.
My habit goals for this year that I'm working on
If streak is broken, start over (Saturdays are exempt)
1) 6am up, Modeh Ani, 1 cup of tea, journal, do things 🌸
2) don't eat until after exercise, exercise by 10am 🌸
3)crafts after dinner
4) dishes all done before bed 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
5) take some notes on saved vids/bookmarks, turn off devices and read
6) 8pm floss and wash face, can have tea
7) in bed: pray, read, crochet 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
JFT Monday 1-31
Keep up the habits!
Cleaning day, go go go! If done with bedroom goal, tackle balcony
