Happy Tuesday y'all!
This has been a long week already. I can't believe it's only Wednesday. Feel kind of cruddy today, so I switched my work from home day from tomorrow to today. That and I have meetings all day anyway. V just left for her echo, which makes mw nervous, but I really know she is fine.
Today is another run/walk workout for me. Same workout as Monday, so I'm confident I can survive it.

Recap T 3/22
1) PT appt. 8:30 making progress yay
2) Leave 9:45 funeral for MJSW's dad / military honors / is there a luncheon? yes = 3/3
3) Contact Jenni for last docs needed ~ rec'd, reviewed & more research necessary, oh joy / complete BC-CC summary / 2:30 webinar / complete webinar summary form, pdf & digitally sign / Facebook Live video / emails current = 4/6 no time for everything
4) Not sure of food today / net calories < 300 red / 64 oz. water = Attended funeral luncheon, had turkey sandwich & took very small portions of other stuff, no idea how to log so I didn't. Slugged down most of my water once back in office mid-afternoon. 88 oz. I'm happy with that.
5) Schwan's delivery / prep overnight oats / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? TA-DA = 4/4
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises, Just Move It Day at work) = 4/6
JFT W 3/23
1) Just Move It Day at work ~ need to log / PT exercises including new & modified (more challenging) ones before work
2) Move hourly / pace during webinar
3) Net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water
4) Complete L.S. trip research / complete BC-CC summary / print webinar slides / 10-12 webinar / complete, pdf & digitally sign webinar summary form / prep webinar summary forms for Th fraud summit / emails current
5) Email re Easter dinner / 7:00 Lent service at church / fill & run dishwasher / declutter 15 min. / prep overnight oats / another ta-da?
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (PT exercises before work)
Had PT appt. yesterday and happy to report my form remains good, one exercise just needed a tweak. Each time, I'm being challenged to up my game with resistance bands, more reps, and this time some stretches to help strengthen my knees and legs. She knows I'd love to walk dog 3-4 miles most days, plus walk in 5K and 10K race events again, so the annual June 10K race is what we're focused on achieving eventually. Jessica was pleased I had some dog walks (short at 1.2 - 1.6 miles) since last PT with no real issues. She even looked over my walking shoes, noted it's time for new ones & made some recommendations. At least I'm doing majority of stuff right. Yay!About me: CarmelaWord for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship
Height 5'4"

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)

- Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
- 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 -
Good morning! I just logged on to post my goals and I see both of my posts appeared from last night. Sorry for the duplicates! LOL. I swear neither one was showing up last night!
Have a great day everyone!

Log everything yes, slight bit of guesswork
Stay in the green no, around 1300 cals
Back exercises no
Foot exercises yes
Admin no, only 2 phone calls
Walk no
Meant to walk but just didn't get round to it. I just wasn't feeling it yesterday. The TV was making a big thing of it being 2 years since the first lockdown started, and there were several events for this "grief day". I managed to ignore most of it, but it was a bit of a downer. I went to parents house to keep clearing but just sat for a while. Then I did some more clearing, glad I did as I found an envelope with money in it, in a cubby hole I didn't know existed before!
Today started stressful with a very upset grandson. He had been doing well with my son for the last couple of weeks, but has just spent 2 days with his mother before coming back. Apparently it's a known thing that changing parent after being with one for a while can set the child back. (I'm not criticizing his mother here, it's just the situation that makes it hard for him).

Have a great Wednesday!
First of all thanks for the prayers for V's echo. Everything looks good, so nothing to worry about there.
Missed my window of opportunity to run yesterday because of work. By the time I had time to run, storms were rolling through. This just means I have to run today before spin class... ughhhh... I'm gonna be one tired instructor, but I gotta get it done. V is out of town for the next few days at a theater festival for high schoolers in WV called thesfest. This is her first year going because of Covid, and she is looking forward to it.
Weight loss is slow, but it is happening. I'm am just not a patient person.
Work is still a mess, but I'm doing the best I can to explain the situation to the global managers. They are not happy... I don't have all of the answers, and I can only spin the facts so far.
Oh well, on to goals for today

Good Morning.. I missed out on my workout yesterday .. didn’t get it done in the morn. No energy.. after a park play with one of my grandchildren. Lesson learned get it done early. Our park day was 100 % worth it.4 -
Hugs to all!! It seems to be a difficult season for us all.
My situation will continue to be followed and in 6 months they'll repeat the imaging diagnostics.
This week is just not going my way, Lol!! PMS has taken hold of my exercise progress. Thankfully my hubby is flying home today which will make me feel better. We have a nice date-night planned this evening. Then a Kiddo B-Day Friday and another Kiddo B-Day Saturday. The chaos will probably cause me to be a bit mia. I'll try to catch up this Sunday or Monday.
I hope everyone finds some peace and comfort this weekend. Prayers and hugs to all my JFTers. 🌷🤗🌷4 -

Today started stressful with a very upset grandson. He had been doing well with my son for the last couple of weeks, but has just spent 2 days with his mother before coming back. Apparently it's a known thing that changing parent after being with one for a while can set the child back. (I'm not criticizing his mother here, it's just the situation that makes it hard for him).
Oh my gosh, yes. This is a real thing. My son shares placement with his ex and has to spend a whole day "reminding" them of the rules at his house.
@pridesabtch I'm glad you have a date night planned. Your work situation sounds SO stressful. You need and deserve some time away from it all.2 -
I had a really off-plan, off-goal day today. I think it's safe to say I didn't do anything I planned to do. UGH. I'd like to blame the gray skies and dreary weather, but all fluffy bull-*kitten* excuses aside, I just didn't hold myself responsible today. I didn't drink my water. I ate cookies when I wanted. I sat on my butt and watched Amazon Prime movies all day. I even changed out of my jeans and put my pj bottoms on at like 2:00 pm.
I don't know why I cannot seem to hold myself to a regimen that I know helps me feel healthier when I follow it! It's the definition of crazy...doing the same things and expecting different results.
Tomorrow is a new day, though! Progress, not perfection. That's the key!
So.....Just for FRIDAY!
1. Make a 24H plan.
2. Set up cozy space downstairs for No BS Weightloss March Virtual Camp weekend that starts at noon
3. Drink at least 64 oz of water.
4. Prepare easy grab meals and snacks for breaks during the No BS camp
5. Run to Dollar Tree or Dollar General for colored pens, sticky notes & beverages, and go to Pick & Save for mom's flowers. Drop off flowers for mom.
6. 30 minutes intentional activity.
7. Bed by 9pm to read and relax.4 -

Walk, even if it's at night short walk at night, so I could eat some ice cream!

I did much better yesterday. Ate good foods and made myself walk. I wanted a biscuit when I came home from parents house, but told myself I only had enough calories left for my evening meal and resisted. I still really want that feeling of eating something, so morning and afternoon I had a snack of ONE crisp, eaten slowly lol. Then I didn't feel deprived!

Have a happy Thursday y'all! Take care!
Good day yesterday. I ended up working late so I wasn't sure I was going to get my walk/run (wog) in. Nobody showed up for spin, so I rode for about 20 minutes then left and went to the park to wog. I definitely did not wear the correct bra to run in. The girls were like a 20 pound weight bouncing on my chest, but I got it done. It's a slow process, and my knees are none to happy with me, but I'm sticking to the plan. The knees are fine with a little ibuprofen so I'm hoping I just need to get used to running again.
Work is still a mess, but I'll get through it.
My sister-in-law is in town so we've been going over to my in-laws the past few nights for dinner. I can't tell you how nice it is not to have to decide what's for dinner and not have to clean up after. We tend to get there after the main group has eaten, so we just reheat the meal on a paper plate and wash the silverware. Have I mentioned that I love my in-laws. They are boring as all get out, but they are so nice.

I'm away for the weekend and I doubt I'll be logging. As well as work the trip includes a much anticipated fish supper with a friend. It has been delayed for months due to covid and other problems. I'm looking forward to a small piece of relaxation away from home.
Have a good weekend everyone!
