    JFT M 3/28
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly
    3) Make skillet lasagna for supper / net calories <200 red / 96 oz. water
    4) Write up zero balance stmts / draft BC-CC report / organize w/p folders / submit leave request for tomorrow afternoon / emails current / 2:00 wellness appt (teleconference)
    5) Hubby's sister over / schedule derm appt / bank on way home / Breadsmith / call Lin / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:15 alarm (PT 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)
    • 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

    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.

    Age 64, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG (need to be realistic): maintain 150

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.

    So much has been going on for me ... to much to mention here. But ... I am back, and determined to get my health and weight back where I should be!
    So JFT, MONDAy, 3/28
    1. Log all my food .. both on WW site and on here. Trying to figure out the best way. I don't like how WW changed, and having zero success following their plan. So going to track here to see my calories also
    2. mindful thinking. Wait 5 minutes before grabbing something to eat
    3. concentrate on water in the evening... and again, mindful eating

    I will try and read back to all I have missed.. but happy to be back, and hope to be more consistent!

    - Up at 8
    - 64 oz of water
    - Vitamins
    - Fast until 12
    - 30 mins of cardio
    - Log everything

    Here's my goal list for the day. I will fill it out in the morning, since it's so late now.

    Babysitting week for me so won't be online much, but will make the effort to log to keep track.

    JFT Monday 28th March

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Back exercises
    Foot exercises
    Walk
    Be patient and enjoy the day

    Yesterday was a complete bust, I failed on everything except be patient and enjoy looking after grandson. Oh well, I suppose that was the most important goal!

    Today is a repeat of yesterday, but will try to do better, no snacking in the evening.

    My plan exercise x5/week. This will be cardio most days and on days when I do strength training in will do a shorter cardio workout.
    I need to drink 6 waters EVERY DAY.
    And I need to have perfect logging.

    To kick my nighttime snacking habit. I'm going to start with intermittent fasting. So I have my set hours of eating (gonna research at the best ratio online for me)

    So those few things should keep me on track.

    JFT Monday 28th
    - Log all food! ❌
    - Research intermittent fasting ratios.❌
    - Drink 6 waters❌
    - Soup for lunch❌ (having a more liquid diet today to settle my tummy from yesterday)
    - No exercise today .. also due to tummy but will create an exercise plan.

    @littleblackskirt my day was a complete bust too!

    Tbh I was just too tired to function. I had a 2 hour nap whilst kids were at school. Went and got them, then got home to find out we had an unexpected bill and they were being A holes about it. So had to ring around to borrow some money. But got it in the end. But it dragged on for ages. Then tea was late, didn't have time to wash the kids, the pots or any cleaning for that matter didn't get done so it was basically my most unproductive day ever.

    So same goals again really

    JFT Tues
    - Log all food
    - 6 waters
    - Research intermittent fasting ratios
    - Soup for lunch
    - Clean the lounge or I'll never have the room to exercise
    - Make an exercise plan

    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
