    @more_freggies76 Yay for the clear colonoscopy!

    JFT M 3/21
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly
    3) Net calories <300 red / 96 oz. water
    4) Complete BC-CC testing summary / start report draft / submit webinar series info to LC & RMS ~ another new, micro-management process GAH! / prep webinar summary forms for week / emails current
    5) Leave 4:00 for massage appt. 4:30 / buy sympathy card on way home / prep lunch & overnight oats / prep clothes for T events / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:45 alarm (PT appt 8:15 & leave 9:45 for funeral)

    Sunday was a sunny start to spring, and wet snow that fell Friday night into Sat. all melted. Roads were clear & temp around 57(F) so hubby, dog & I walked to park, then added extra blocks in neighborhood for 1.6 mile walk at moderate pace. Knee doing well, not 100% but much better. I'll hear what Jessica my PT lady has to say tomorrow morning.

    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
    • Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
    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

    Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. (unless I need to earlier because of our walk) I have to fast again this evening. I can still have my dose of metamusal.

      Hi Everyone.. I hope you all had a good Monday! *️⃣ I did a 20 min body weight reps and stretching session. Not sure if I would call it a workout .. as I didn’t work up a sweat. But the stretching was great.. didn’t know I was so sore. So I saved my 1st weight training for tomorrow when I have more time to dedicate to it.

      I need ideas for filling breakfasts that I can prep ahead of time that don't include seeds/nuts (no allergies, just dont like them)

      My favorite make-ahead breakfast that is filling is overnight oats. There're all kinds of recipes online.

      My current favorite is apple (one of the best fruit ever), as I use up apples in the fridge. 1/2 c oats, 1/4 c low fat vanilla yogurt, 1/2 c milk (I use 1%), 1 t chia seeds, 1/2 c (or whatever size I have) chopped apple, and sprinkle cinnamon on top to taste. Sometimes I add nuts, but optional.

      I also love mango, with chopped mango in the freezer section of the grocery store, or strawberry. I use fresh strawberries in season, and when I have extra, I chop & freeze berries for off-season. You can use any fruit you like, fresh or frozen, and change things up. By making the night before, any frozen fruit is thawed and perfect by morning.

      Hopping on tonight to post my goals for tomorrow. I've just read the past few days to catch up, and I have so many I'd like to reply to but didn't take notes unfortunately.

      Thank you for the birthday wishes! It was a really nice day! I enjoyed it more than I've enjoyed my birthday in a long time. :)

      WELCOME NEW JFTer's!!!!
      @more_freggies76 Congrats on the good colonoscopy results. They're no fun but so important.

      @MLCTX I'm sure that "probably benign" isn't quite what you wanted to hear, but just want to share with you that it has been my experience that anytime my providers weren't as sure as they could be without an actual biopsy, they did more tests. So I'm going to think positive thoughts and say YAY! for benign! :flowerforyou:

      Also, thanks for the info about Hannah. I logged into FB and looked her up and I also didn't like the post from October. @Snowflake1968 I hope you hear back from her!

      @Beachwalker99 I closed my eyes and imagined your walk by the stream with the sounds of tree frogs and it felt so calming... I don't think water near us is open yet...still iced over.

      @pridesabtch Saying a prayer right now for V's echo tomorrow. :flowerforyou:

      @Bex953172 I hope you start feeling better real soon! (((HUGS))) Do you have the same phone number for What's App? I was going to send you a message today but wasn't sure. :)

      I find myself feeling a bit down lately. The past few years were pretty messed up, and now with all the sad things going on in this world... I need to start making myself get out of the house and doing something every day. It's too easy to sit inside and hide and isolate. Not healthy for my brain. I'm sure looking forward to spring!

      Just for Today / Wednesday
      • Make a 24H Plan and assess yesterday's
      • Drink 64 oz water before 6pm
      • Get out of house for at least 30 minutes
      • Tasks (ongoing): Sign form at Ortho / Send form to Rheumatology / Taxes / Call April / Dog food / appt at 1:10 / banana bread / bookcase rearrange
      • Declutter (ongoing): Tupperware cupboard / Bathroom cupboard / Rx drawer / Sewing room
      • Log food and close Food Journal
      • Gratitude Journal
      • Readings: Simple Abundance / JM / DO

      WOTY: Intentional

      Hello JFT friends!! I wrote out a post with goals for tomorrow, and I had replied to many posts on here but it disappeared when I clicked Post Reply. That sure is frustrating...

      THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES! It was a really nice day and I enjoyed it a lot! :)

      I'll hop back on tomorrow for goals. In the meantime, I just want to say:

      @pridesabtch I said a prayer for V's echo tomorrow!

      @Bex953172 I hope you feel better soon! Do you have same phone number for What's App? I was going to text you today but wasn't sure.

      @MLCTX (((HUGS))) I'm sure you'd rather hear 'definitely benign' but I think the fact they aren't doing more tests on it is a good sign, don't you? :flowerforyou: Thanks for the info on Hannah. I hope she writes back to @Snowflake1968. :heart:

      @more_freggies76 Congrats on the colonoscopy results. Good news!

      WELCOME TO OUR NEW JFTer's!!!
