    Last week us utter chaos!! Too many random emotions, medical appts, and helping Hubby get ready to leave back to work. Needless to say, I'm not even gonna look back at what I did not accomplish. I'm just going to move forward.

    (Just a little side note; If any of you are prone to prayer, I could use a few prayers. There has been a potential cyst discovered in my right breast and the diagnostic clinic cannot image it until 3/22. So, naturally I'll be anxious about this until I get confirmation from imaging that it's benign. Anyways, no worries I'm sure but I know the power of pray and would greatly appreciate a few. I'll, of course, be praying for positive results myself. Thank you for being a group of people I consider my JFT family. 🌺)

    Today's goal: Restore my healthy discipline.


    🌷🤗🌷

    Oh I'm sorry you have to wait for imaging. That must be pretty scary. But it's only 10 days away, I know for you that must feel a lot longer but it will soon come around.
    In the meantime (although I don't often) I will say a prayer for you! And I hope you do get positive results! Are they able to tell you then and there what it is or do you have to wait again for results? <3 xxxx

    @MLCTX Prayers & hugs for you!!!

    @more_freggies76 Wow, that's a lot of prep for your colonoscopy. When I prep (had 4 so far), I've been instructed to make dietary changes only the day before. I have to completely fast for 24 hours, no food of any kind, clear liquids allowed but mostly I just drink lots & lots of water. Then of course the horrible drink in the evening to clear everything out completely LOL. But since colon cancer runs on my dad's side, I want to be sure things are checked regularly. Best wishes.


    Recap TGIF 3/11
    1) PT exercises (new sets) before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly :) 6.9K 20 floors 14/14 boom!
    3) Figure out supper / net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water :D Felt the need to snack between meals more than usual & didn't fight the feelings. Logged best I could. -486, sodium not bad, fiber, calcium & protein excellent, 80 oz. water (plus 1 c. milk)
    4) Update Project Status s/s / update & submit weekly PAR, PRO, HW s/s's / BC-CC testing / emails current, maybe some backlog lol :smiley: good work day, especially being Fri. 4/4
    5) PT survey / check DVR / put away clean laundry ~ half / put away clean dishes / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? = 3.5/6
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. = 2/7 just exhausted

    JFT Sat. 3/12
    1) PT exercises
    2) Move hourly
    3) Net calories <300 red / 96 oz. water
    4) Put away rest of clean laundry :) done / call mom & dad / pack up snowman decorations ~ brought boxes up from basement this morning / PT survey / water houseplants / declutter 15 min. ~ some already / another ta-da?
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 7:30 alarm (9:00 church)

    Not sure why but I was so tired last night, I fell asleep mid-evening sitting up, watching TV. So went to bed extra early & of course woke up extra early this morning. That's ok since we move clocks ahead tonight, and sunrise will feel like 1 hour later tomorrow. I hate getting up in the dark but know that days are getting longer each day.

    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)
    • 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
    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

    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.

    Last week us utter chaos!! Too many random emotions, medical appts, and helping Hubby get ready to leave back to work. Needless to say, I'm not even gonna look back at what I did not accomplish. I'm just going to move forward.

    (Just a little side note; If any of you are prone to prayer, I could use a few prayers. There has been a potential cyst discovered in my right breast and the diagnostic clinic cannot image it until 3/22. So, naturally I'll be anxious about this until I get confirmation from imaging that it's benign. Anyways, no worries I'm sure but I know the power of pray and would greatly appreciate a few. I'll, of course, be praying for positive results myself. Thank you for being a group of people I consider my JFT family. 🌺)

    Today's goal: Restore my healthy discipline.


    🌷🤗🌷

    Prayers my friend.

    My goals for today ~ March 11th
    1. Type up 3 items at work

    2. Tidy up the bedroom / organise it

    3. Set up my new Garmin watch

    Friday is my 'treat day' I can either chose to have a takeaway meal or chocolate & crisps. I'm just making as many changes to my diet as I can. Baby steps. I don't want to completely overwhelm myself- so I am eating healthy about 80% of the time currently.

    I was just told recently by my Health & Wellness Coach that a good diet 80% of the time is a fantastic diet! You're doing awesome!

    3. Meditate for 15 minutes

    Ah man..I'm turning 30 on Thursday! The big 3-0. I feel like it's a turning point in life hahah.

    I like how you said having a good diet 80% of the time. That makes me feel better about my snacks and they days where I opt for something less healthy rather than a salad etc.

    ▪︎Rest and Refresh


    Sunday's I do not like to post goals, etc. I like to take one intentional day off each week and that is Sunday for me. I still plan to complete my yoga DVD in my quest to regain control over my healthy habits. Then this week I'll be incorporating my BBL 4 week plan to kick my butt back into shape, Lol.

    Thank you ALL for the support, encouragement, hugs, and prayers. I genuinely appreciate you all. I will stand in courage and not allow fear to consume me during this unknown time. Also, to answer the question regarding results; the medical group I am working with has a policy of immediate result availability. There is a chance I'll be able to see the diagnostic report even before my doctor. The online patient record gives me this access. It has it's pros and cons, Lol!!

    Enjoy a blessed Sunday my friends!!🌷🤗🌷

    @BeIn2day Happy birthday tomorrow! I'm glad you had a nice time at dinner last night and took time to pamper yourself. We don't take time to have enough of those days, do we? :flowerforyou:

    @Bex953172 I'm so sorry to hear you feel so awful today! I hope the girls and Ash will baby you today the way you do them every day, hon. Happy birthday on Thursday! Turning 30 is not a bad thing. You're still only half my age. LOL My 30's were better than my 20's, and my 40's were better than my 30's. I hope you have a very special birthday on Thursday. Do you have plans? How is Casey today? Is she feeling any better? :heart:

    @BeIn2day and @Bex953172 My birthday is Friday! Three of us this week. It's a good week, eh? :mrgreen:

    @MLCTX I said a prayer for you immediately. I know the underlying anxiety of waiting for results all too well, and I'm sending you (((Gentle HUGS))). :heart: I like that you take one day each week for yourself. I used to declare Sundays as my OFFLINE/Tech Free day. I worked in IT, so it felt more important while I was still working, but I still find it healthy to take a break from texts and FB at least one day a week. I hope you have a nice peaceful Sunday. :heart:

    I know there were more I wanted to reply to, but my brain's gone blank! :wink:

    Happy Sunday! We turned our clocks forward today so it's already after 10:00 a.m. I've never been a fan of this daylight savings change. I know it's supposed to be wonderful because of more daylight hours, but I've never enjoyed losing an hour of sleep. Pretty sure I'll be dragging my *kitten* all day today! :mrgreen:

    I don't have a lot of 'busy' goals for today. I am going to try to spend time doing non-stressful things. My husband has the news on all day watching the events of the world. It's very anxiety producing and makes me feel as though I need to do something to help but I don't know what...so I pray. We don't have a large house so I can hear the tv no matter which room I'm in. I am thinking that today I will spend time downstairs in my sewing room and turn on a silly movie or something.

    There is a fresh layer of snow on the ground this morning, with sunny blue skies. It looks so clean and fresh right now...how's that for putting a positive spin on winter? :mrgreen: Soon it will be spring and the flowers will poke through and the robins will come back. I am really looking forward to spending more time in our yard this year. I used to love gardening, and I think I'm going to get back into that hobby again. I'd like to try canning tomatoes this year. :flowerforyou:

    Have a nice day!

    Just for Today:
    • I will make a 24H Plan and assess yesterday's 24H plan.
    • I will drink 64 oz of water before 6 pm
    • I will follow a plant-based whole food diet
    • I will create a new Weekly Plan and assess last week's plan
    • I will spend time reading my Bible plan and reading from the Bible
    • I will spend time in self-care--Journal / Podcasts / Yoga or Tai Chi / Sew / Nap
    • I will go to bed an hour early and take time to wind down by reading

    My goals for today ~ March 13th
    1. Clean & tidy bathroom

    2. Sort the laundry

    3. Meditate for 15 minutes

    4. Have a foot spa

    Enjoy my last day being 34 🤪

    How was Nandos!
    Ah man..I'm turning 30 on Thursday! The big 3-0. I feel like it's a turning point in life hahah.

    I like how you said having a good diet 80% of the time. That makes me feel better about my snacks and they days where I opt for something less healthy rather than a salad etc.

    I really enjoyed Nandos. Food was lovely. I would go back. I liked how u could get unlimited refills on the drinks. I felt exactly the same turning 30. Leaving my 20's made me feel a lil bit sad and disbelief if I'm honest. I was like okay, so I'm actually getting older. This is real. This happens 🤣🤣🤣 the time just flies. I can't believe I'm in my mid 30's now 😳 I still feel like 20 though, so I guess that's the main thing 😅

    Haha 100%!!!
    That's exactly how it feels. I've never been more aware of my age 😂
    Yeah I still feel young.. and I look young still which is bonus haha I still get ID'd... Every damn time. I dread the day I don't get ID'd 😂

    @MLCTX hugs and prayers for you. I know it's a scary time, but remember over 9 out of 10 breast investigations turn out to be benign. keep your chin up!

    @BeIn2day and @Bex953172 you are both mere youngsters lol. Bex I am twice your age too! Sorry you've got the cold, mine is on the way out now thank goodness.
    Sometimes I wish I could shout out to all the young people trying to lose weight to Just do it! Don't be like me and reach this age wishing I'd managed to maintain the numerous times I lost weight in the past. Do it young and enjoy life fit and healthy!

    I am sure there were others I wanted to reply to but I'm in a rush. It's 5.30pm here already and this is the first time I've been online today. No TV either. I'm limiting my time watching the news too @PackerFanInGB .
    Had son and grandson here all day. We've had some fun, and also made progress at parents house. I met with a man today who will be able to help me with some of the big clearance issues I have. The burden feels a bit lighter now, I'm grateful that he was recommended to me.

    Haven't logged today but think I'll be just under maintenance if I don't snack tonight. (I felt like crisps the other night but couldn't remember where I'd hidden them. Seriously, I couldn't find them lol)

    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)
    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

    Sw: 310.7 lb
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 180 lb lean muscle
    2022 Goal Weight: 280 lbs

    I'm late to the game, but I hope it's ok that I jump on board! My word for the year is accountable - Not only in my health habits, but also in all the other areas of my life. I started school on February 21st, and I'm determined to not let my being out of high school for 13 years stop me from succeeding.

    Daily goal for tomorrow: Monday, March 3
    • Stay within my calorie goal
    • do a chair workout
    • call the rheumatologist about a steroid injection
    • Meditate
    • do the last 18 exercises in schoolwork

    Goals for the year:
    I have dropped out of school before, because of my mental health and because of having to care for disabled family members, and I'm determined that that won't happen again. My main goal for the year is to make it through school, and in order to do that, I'm taking a holistic approach and attempting to care for my body, mind, and spirit every day. So My daily goals are going to look related to weight, but they're also going to encompass mind and spirit too. At the end of the year I want to see 280 lb on the scale and 6.2 miles/day on my Fitbit.

    Commitment for the rest of tonight: No more eating and only drinking water!
