My goals for today ~ March 8th
1. Listen more than speak @ work meeting.
2. Find out work log in details for home PC.
3. Complete updates at work.
4. Practice using skipping ropes after work.
5. Sort laundry after work.
6. Avoid unwanted biscuits at work.
^^^ a sensitive situation might be brought up during work meeting, and I ain't getting involved 🙃 I have already done what I can. Some people just don't wana listen 🤷🏼♀️ I don't need the stress. Hopefully it goes well, but I will just keep my mouth shut, and my ears open. (All while avoiding the biscuits).
I like skipping! I wanna know how some people do it so fast and for ages! I feel like I'm all legs and arms everywhere hahah
I do the same thing in situations like that , just stay waaaaay out of it.6 -

Hour commitment - too many eating opportunities at the conference. Trying to take part, but enough is enough. I don’t feel good with all the snacks they’re providing, even though I’m burning lots of calories skiing and walking around. Just for today, I won’t partake of the 4pm chocolate cookie or the 9 pm ice cream. Can still enjoy other stuff.3

Thanks for the hugs yesterday, my JFTers! It was a crummy Monday. Your support means a lot to me.
Recap M 3/7
1) PT exercises & b.s. test before work
2) Move hourly 6.4K 20 floors 13/14 (thought I had 14/14 but not enough steps that first hour of the day)
3) Net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water hubby's sister over again, I wasn't up for cooking, so we opted for thin crust pizza... then I ate banana chocolate chip bread (extra purchase that I picked up at bread shop) for dessert. Oops. It was one day. Red 567, high sodium (ack), calcium good (yay), fiber ok, protein excellent, water 96 oz. YAY
4) BC-CC testing other stuff / update PAR, PRO, HW s/s's for current week / emails current / 4:00 dentist ~ dang cap of implant came out yesterday as I was brushing my teeth & I grabbed it from the sink ~ all fixed yay = 3/4
5) Ship b.s. test / pick up bread at shop / mail 2 bday cards / declutter 15 min. / PT eval check-in docs / another ta-da? several pain in the *kitten* tasks TA-DA! 4/6
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work) = 4/7
JFT T 3/8
1) PT exercises before work
2) Move hourly
3) Make casserole for supper (ground beef defrosting) / net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water
4) Print slides for W webinar / prep webinar summary form / BC-CC testing / Facebook Live video / emails current
5) Gas in car / refill bird feeders / boil eggs / PT eval check-in docs / start reply to PW / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work)
Feeling much better today. Back to drinking enough water really helps. Aches & pains receded. Healing cap back on dental implant, hopefully for good. Told dentist I like him but don't want to see him every week haha. Now I'm looking forward to physical therapy full evaluation for my knee on Thurs. Knee is sloooowly improving, but making me crazy not to walk dog our 3-4 mile routes, especially now that winter is ending. I even use the elevator at work occasionally, which I never used to.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 ~- 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)
- 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
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
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 -

Have a happy Monday y'all!
Yesterday was stressful, but all worked out well. I did end up staying at work until 6:00pm to get everything wrapped up so I missed spin class, but I did an hour on the damn bike so that was good. I also discovered that I can eat only one piece of pizza and walk away. However hubby made pie so I had to try a bit of both the cherry and the blackberry. Yummm. So even though I only had one slice of pizza, I had 3 slices total of goodness.
Weight was down a bit today, which was nice after it being up yesterday. Gotta love fluctuations. Trend is still good. Completely tuckered today after a night of wakefulness.
Hopefully, I will get out of work on time today and get a ride in before I crash. If I nap first, I'll never ride.

@littleblackskirt (((hugs))) I'm sorry for the emotional time you're going through. I hope the sweeter memories buoy you up. You're dealing with a lot right now, don't beat yourself up for saying "no" to other things. I've been there. Hopefully some will understand. Just let them know later, after some time has passed. Things will get better.
Welcome @BeIn2day This is a nice group! (I'm fairly new to the group too) I think looking at smaller habits tend to help with our bigger, more vague goals. Sometimes they seem to help each other (like you accomplished one thing and it propelled you to do the other). I like your lunch goal!
@clicketykeys ((hugs))) about your weight journey. I'm frustrated with mine too, it's like "put that down! Exercise!" But I look at all that's left to pack and go do that instead, or get sad and eat cookies. Small steps; let's both try to make one small step forward today.
@Janele0627 Yay congrats on your big changes! I hope your interview goes really well!
@PackerFaninGB Hello!! Yeah there's a lot to do and we know it builds up so we started packing as soon as we knew we were moving. And then it's going to be like the Oregon Trail so there's more!!! No house, no shelter, etc. We have several plans we've made to choose from on how we can follow codes and build at the same time (nobody should assume that you're actually allowed to live on your own land just because you own it...sigh....county codes). It just depends on how things work out. Just getting there is sapping our funds enough. Yes we hope to have a true homestead, be more self-sufficient, grow our own food. The trick there is water and improving the soil with organic matter. It's very rural but that's what we'd been hoping for. Unlike where we currently live, where the big push/goals are to get ready for the deep winter; there we will get ready for the big rains; both to collect it and not need to go anywhere (because we will be unable to). Definitely going to be a lot of exercise there! DH is taking care of me already, we've discussed the precautions to take when moving to a much higher elevation. He's moved a lot so he's more experienced.
I keep hoping to exercise each day but end up packing and doing other stuff instead. I'll try to insert it into my routine though as I really need it. We've been sedentary a lot lately, I don't want to just collapse on moving day!
@TerriRichardson112 Hello! Sorry I've been away but it's nice to chat in this group and hopefully motivate myself to do a little more on my own habits while packing. I also have trouble with evening dessert attacks. I want to have a habit of drinking tea instead.
@pridesabtch Sorry about the work stress. I hope it blows over soon. I hope you went to the spin class to burn off some stress energy. I know I feel better when I exercise.
@beachwalker99 The walk sounded lovely!
@cschmitz110515 I hope you feel better soon!
All the planes going by (we're near military) plus moving plus some weight gain and not being able to exercise...and stress of upcoming move are stressing me out a bit. I ate way too many cookies yesterday and not enough water. I was disappointed that some help to take things to donate wasn't given. DH and I moved it beside the dumpster and in the "donate area" in our complex. (now you know why people don't always take it to be donated; physically cannot) I was pleased as punch to see that neighbors took the items.
JFT Tuesday:
Wait quietly for DH to wake up (struggling with neck pain)
Do more self-care goals for the morning, take longer to pray and read Scripture (stress/packing can wait)
Exercise NOW
Start laundry
Carry around water with you
Finish completely the 1 room; all done packing that room
pay a bill early
make at least 1 phone call
double check task list; keep on schedule
finish laundry
make last of the spring rolls today
no dessert; just tea

Sorry once again MIA .. this has been a very difficult year for me it seems. We had to hospitalize our daughter for a week .. she hates being in the hospital, but there was no other way. Her meds are now changed, and we are praying that this will help, and she will start to feel better. I do not want to give up hope for her, but sometimes her future scares me so much.
My husbands PSA numbers are up again, which could mean the cancer is back, but the doctor also told us that it is somewhat expected as testerone levels come up. So all they can do is watch it .. if in 6 months it still is going up, then they will decide what treatment to take. He is suppose to get bloodwork drawn in January .. but he wants to wait. I think he is scared of more bad news with that.
I've been watching too much of the news .. it is just so heartbreaking. My husband tells me I need to shut it off, so I try and sew, but it is so hard to understand how the rest of the world is not doing more to stop this. My heart breaks for the people of Ukraine.
I've started getting back to the gym, and hopefully spring will be here soon. My high school friends were going to come see me this week.. ha.. they said I need girlfriend time. .they are so right! But friday they are calling for snow, and very cold temps, so they are now coming on sunday-wed. So I hope weather cooperates.
I usually post my goals the nite before ...
SO JFT, Wed
1. log all food!! I seriously need to do this .. I know this helps
2. concentrate on drinking water. So many times I eat out of frustration, stress, etc, when I am probably just thirsty
3. list my reasons "WHY". I need to reinforce WHY I want/need to lose weight
4. plan my meals in the morning .. or nite before, so I know what my plans are. Make a plan
5. get back to posting on here .. be accountable.
Anyhow.. sorry for the long post .. missed you all, and just wanted to update why I have not been active on here.7 -
Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow.2

I've got gastroenteritis off Marley. My friends took my kids to school today. Ash offered but he was up til 5-6am with me making sure I was okay. Plus it's hard to sleep when someone's loudly chucking up in the next room.
The only positive I'll take from this is weighing myself afterwards to see what I weigh when I'm truly empty haha.
But for today. Rest rest rest and try hydrate myself. Even sips of water are giving my killer stomach cramps.
I wanna sleep but running to the toilet every 30 mins still
Good luck with your goals today everyone x6 -

*hugs* Yeah - one small step I've made is to download a basic calendar app that will work when I'm offline. I don't have unlimited data, and if I don't log what I eat right away, I forget. Hopefully this will help.4
