    Have a great day y'all!

    Today is supposed to be my work from home day, but things are too crazy at work, so I'm here. Actually I'm here early 7:00am instead of 8:00am because I have a 7:30 meeting. Apparently, I missed an 8:00pm meeting last night, tbh I didn't even remember I had it. Oh well, such is life. This morning's meeting is the global quality meeting and with the issues we've been having here it isn't going to be fun.

    Other than work stuff, I need to go to mom's today and get her bills and I teach spin tonight. My legs are still a bit tired, but I think class will go well. It always improves my mood and gives me energy.

    @mytime6630 thinking of you and praying for your daughter.

    @MLHC1 you made me think with your list! I didn't realise it's 9 years since I was first on MFP. It's a bit depressing to think I'm still trying to lose weight all these years later! I did do very well when I was first on the site, I'm still here as I put a bit of the weight back on, just glad I've kept some of it off.

    It took me years to "discover" the forum part of the site. It really helps to keep my mind focussed, I'll read on here even if I'm not logging. We used to do monthly challenges sometimes, and had a "Lose 5lb challenge" for a while. I might try and think of a March challenge for myself, I need an extra push.

    One of my reasons for not commenting to everyone is usually lack of time or even forgetting how to type out everyone's unique name. So, I went through JFT and made a list of 2022 JFTers (in no particular order).

    2022 JFTers:

    @pridesabtch - I originally joined MFP in 2011 under the name "Notfortyyet" and then "Rides4sanity" after I hit 40. I had great success getting down to 105 pounds, but this was a very manic stage for me. Great for weight loss not great for life. I stopped using MFP in about 2015. It was the beginning of a very log depressive episode in which I put on (to 150) and lost (to 120) and put back on a ton of weight. In 2019 I was doing a little better, and I started a fresh account, this one, I was in the 140 range at that time. It wasn't long after rejoining that I found this group. Still really depressed I continued to pack on pounds up to around 200 pounds. Starting last October things finally started getting settled in my head and in my life enough that I could approach weight loss again. I'm down to 182, with about 60 pounds to go. I don't need to get back to 105, it isn't maintainable if I'm not able to ride 200 miles a week. Without mania, I can't maintain that effort. I miss the positive energy of mania, but the mixed episodes with manic energy and depressive moods was very dangerous. This new balance is a better life choice.
    There is my MFP history.



    While doing this, it occurred to me, when did I originally join JFT.....I believe it was 2017!! Then I thought, how neat it would be if we had the year joined next to these names, Lol!! If anyone is interested in sharing, I'll add the date to my list in my notes. (Just thought it was neat bc this group has been going for awhile.)

    Reading JFT posts about this and other forums, so relatable! I joined MFP late 2015, logged food & exercise and initially lost a few pounds, then stalled. Looking through the Motivation forums in January of 2017, I found JFT. It was just what I needed! In 18 months with JFT support & accountability, I went from 185# to 152 and I was thrilled.

    Since then, my weight has bounced up and down, mostly in the 160s, lately settling in the lower 170s, which I'm not happy about. Neither are my knees, or my doctor, or my clothes. I know what I need to do. Unfortunately for now, my exercise of choice (walking) is on hold while inflammation in knee fades. I rely on exercise calories to keep my net calories near zero. Sigh.

    In past years I've posted in other forums like Just Give Me 10 Days and various monthly exercise challenges. I'm competitive, and sometimes those were motivational for me. I've learned a lot from forums. But for posting daily, you can't beat JFT imho. <3 my JFTers!

    Recap W 2/9
    1) PT exercises & some weights before work ~ oof, can't skip these workouts :D / log Just Move It for work :smiley: got great support to stay positive from moderators ~ that meant a lot!
    2) Move hourly / pace in office during webinar :) 6.8K 23 floors 13/14
    3) Sloppy joes for supper / net calories zero / 96 oz. water :neutral: better day -71, high sodium (some processed food), fiber & protein excellent, sugar ok, calcium low-ish, 96 oz.
    4) Title 31 prep / draft request email / webinar 10-12 / complete webinar summary form & digitally sign / more email backlog sheesh = 5/5
    5) Prep niece's bday card & other mail no time / purchase P's book ~ issues until realized I had to update Amazon profile with current info / download Kindle ~ already on Amazon Fire, which needed mega updates, sigh / make transfer / balance bank accounts / schedule cc pmt no time / refill bird feeders / another ta-da? TA-DA
    6) Alternate ice & heat ~ while watching Olympics / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren gel / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work) = 4/7

    JFT R 2/10
    1) PT exercises before work ~ knee slowly improving but better than not :smiley:
    2) Move hourly
    3) Leftovers for supper / net calories zero / 96 oz. water
    4) Title 31 / if CPE in email, download & submit with webinar summary form / Facebook Live video / more emails haha
    5) Email P / bday wishes to L / prep niece's bday card & other mail / balance bank accts / schedule cc pmts / make transfer / download Fidelity stmt / place vet shop order for Kitty / laundry / another ta-da?
    6) Alternate ice & heat / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren gel / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work)

    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 ~
    • 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
    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 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
    • 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

    @mytime6630 I think I’ve been on JFT since some time in 2018. At that point I was plateaued around 175. I love the Lose 5 lbs Challenges, the others we used to have. They helped me get off that plateau, and I kept on dropping.

    -- Oh .. this is almost embarassing! I started this thread in 2016 .. more as a "monthly" JFT thread. At that time, I weighed close to 215 pounds .. after gaining weight when my brother lost his life. Being an emotional eater, and losing 4 siblings in 5 years time .. I ate my pain away.
    So many posts, so I started it in 2017 .. and have been starting it ever since. I lost weight through this thread.. maintained for awhile. In 2018 I met my goal of 178 ... but with the pandemic, gradually it is coming back on. This year has been hard for me .. I am now up to close to 200 again.
    But , I LOVE the posters on this thread .. we are like family!

    But, I WILL get back on track!!!!

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: ---

    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? Check with PSC. 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

    Happy Thursday y'all!

    Other than the fact that I didn’t work on programming software and I missed lunch yesterday, all went well on my list. I had some computer problems mid morning that caused me to cancel a meeting, but I was able to reschedule within my timeline.

    Things at work are starting to settle after the major event that has run my life for the past 2 weeks. Today my hope is to get things taken care of early and leave early. We’ll see.

    It’s currently 4:15am and I’ve been up since 3:00 ish. I don’t want to get ready yet, because who wants to go to work at 5:00am. The problem is if I go back to sleep, I’ll really not want to get up at 6:00. Oh well.

    Nothing much planned today other than work and ride. I joined a 2022 miles in 2022 challenge for the bike and it’s helped keep me motivated. Even makes that “damn bike” not so bad.

    JFT Friday!!!!

    JFT Thursday 10th Feb

    Stay under maintenance yes
    Proper meals, and eat some veg! yes, evening meal stressful with a grumpy tired child
    Back exercises no
    Foot exercises no
    Walk no, the wind was bitter cold and I didn't want to go out
    Pay for funeral by phone yes, took an hour and a half!
    Sort bins, fill mum's yes
    Get paperwork up to date yes

    Can't believe it took so long to pay for funeral. Several call backs after I pointed out they weren't charging me properly... they were asking for less than half of what it should be. Of course, I'd like to pay less, but I knew it was wrong and didn't want to risk the day being upset because they hadn't been paid. I was sure I was right as it is to be the same funeral as my Dad's last year.

    Felt so flat and sad that I went to bed at 8pm. Nice and warm in bed with a book!

    Upset again this morning reading about a toddler who died after swallowing a button battery from a toy. His injuries were horrific, those batteries are so dangerous.

    I've no oomph today, I'm going to have to put my big girl pants on and make myself get on with the day. It's so frosty and cold. I'm going to start logging again even if I don't stick to 1200 calories. I know it works, logging makes me think about what I'm eating.

    JFT Friday 11th Feb

    Log everything (breakfast logged already)
    Stay under 1500 calories
    Eat some veg
    Back exercises
    Foot exercises
    Walk
    Shopping
    Collect prescription
    Visit care home
    Fill bird feeders

    We had several inches of snow fall overnight. No biggie, I was going to drive through, then road grader came down our street just as I was getting dressed. Nice little ridge at end of driveway, so hubby was a sweetie and cleared snow for me. He also brushed snow off his 4WD so I could take that to work instead of my little Honda Civic. <3

    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 ~
    • 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
    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 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
    • 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

    @Snowflake1968 Hi Tracey. The finished card fits into an A5 envelope.
    1. The design is drawn or traced onto parchment paper. I used a white gel pen for this design.
    2. It is then embossed with ball tools to make it 3-d.
    3. The edges were perforated with a pin tool to look like lace and removed.
    4. The heart/birdcage of this design were then perforated with a pin tool, and removed so that the coloured card could be seen.
    5. I attached the finished design to rose gold card with gold brads, adding embellishments of jewelled hearts, and a gold peel off inside the heart shape.
    6. I then printed an insert and attached it to the inside of the card.
    7. I rounded the corners with a radius punch.

    Hey all! Thank you so much for the kind birthday wishes. We had a few schedule changes this week - started a new daycare which means some changes for us all and it went great! Everyone is settling in nicely. It's such a relief to have more dependable childcare as I go into my busy season at work! I'm back to work full time and as a manager for the first time in 2 years so it's been a change, but I'm thriving! I ate too much cake every night this week...which also led to some poor lunch choices, but I did cook dinner at home every night! T.O.M arrived and is kicking my butt, feeling super bloated and crappy...so extra water today, extra rest tonight and keeping a positive attitude. Have a great weekend everyone!
