    Late check in for me… usual goals.
    Goals Monday
    - Work by 7:00 :smiley:
    - Meetings ALL DAY LONG :smiley:
    - Drop off food for the kids :smiley:
    - Log food :smiley:
    - No alcohol :smiley:

    - Bed by 11:30 :smiley:

    Got everything done yesterday, then I crashed hard, but didn't sleep well. Thought about getting up and going to the gym this morning, as I have plans this evening and need to run, but 4:45 just came too darn early. Hopefully I can leave work at 3:00, deliver food to the school at 5:00, meet folks for dinner at 6:00. If I'm really lucky I'll even squeeze in a shower.

    It is tech week for V's play so the parents get together and provide dinner each evening, it's nice for the kids. Of course only like 10 of the 30 parents actually bring things. Oh well, I'm blessed to be able to help so I do. Hubby made 5 lbs of taco meat for this evening and I put together a fruit tray. I try to make sure I bring at least one vegetarian friendly dish that's on the menu as V and a few of her friends are not meat eaters.

    Work is still a mess, and now I have international marketing and legal to deal with as well as customers, but all in all it's going well. Looks like I'll travel to Virginia next week to evaluate one of our vendors/contracted services. It will be interesting to see their process.

    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 :s Did really good all day .. then grabbed a brownie. That led to some nuts. So really need to practice mindful eating better.
    3. concentrate on water in the evening... and again, mindful eating :) Did drink water though, but not till after ate the brownie and nuts :s

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


    JFT, Tues, Mar 29
    1. log all food
    2. concentrate on water
    3. mindful eating -- stop, wait 10 minutes. drink water... distract myself
    4. go to gym :) already got this done, so will try and go for long walk this afternoon if weather cooperates and not rainy.
    5. set commitments for this afternoon and evening

    No goals today.
    Kids have got me poorly again

    Why is it they get a little cough and I get headache, ear ache, muscle and joint pain, cough and blocked sinuses?
    Why can't I just have a little cough lol.
    I wouldn't mind but it was only 4/5 days ago that I got rid of the last thing they gave me


    Did a COVID test, negative.

    The conference marathon continues, so most household task are on hold. Despite a short afternoon nap between classes, I still passed out early last night. However, I did manage 40 minutes on the indoor bike. Today will be more of a challenge, since I'll be seeing a lot of students and need to play catch-up with the work I should have done before bed yesterday.

    On the positive side, my weight seems to be moving in the right direction again after bouncing up for a couple of weeks. I'm wondering if the uptick has something to do with side effects from my latest meds, which I started taking a couple of weeks ago. I'm hoping the muscle pain lessens over time; otherwise I guess I'll need to try something else.

    @mytime6630 - It's good to see you posting again and focusing on your own health <3

    @Bex953172 - Sorry you're feeling unwell again. Hope you make a quick recovery <3

    Well, I'd best get to work. Have a great day, everyone!

    We're in a stretch of crappy weather, alternating between spring and winter (mostly winter). Gloomy days affecting me and I long for sun & warm days. Last night we had lots of sleet, then thunder and lightning. Doggo scared, we put her thunder shirt on & she slept on couch in basement. This morning, I'm exhausted and couldn't handle getting up early before work to grind through PT exercises. I've been doing them almost daily (at least 5-6 days each week), got my reps up to 30, and have been increasing sets, but not today. Tomorrow. I'm ok with that. Have a great day, all!

    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

    Happy Tuesday y'all!

    Didn't get to leave after my call yesterday afternoon as the call lead to more work I needed to do. Which means no run for me yesterday. I'm only 2 weeks in and already off my training plan. Should be able to catch up still, but it's really annoying. Silly job... but I gotta do something to pay for my toys.

    Only one scary meeting today and it's at 11:00 so I should be able to leave by 3ish and get my run in. Other than that, I'm looking forward to eating my leftovers from dinner last night. TBH, I'm surprised I didn't scarf down the entire personal pizza last night at the restaurant. Guess I didn't want to look like a glutton in front of the group. More amazingly, I didn't just eat it when I got home. Anyway, that's about it.

    Still feeling a bit rough today. No where near as bad as yesterday though. Just keep getting headache twinges. Need to go shop for more painkillers.
    I've also kept Marley off school, her class is rife with positive COVID cases. So I tested her this morning as she started with a new cough etc. (The one she's gave me) and we've both tested negative still.
    But she looked so rough this morning I just thought she'd need the day to rest. Plus if her immune systems lowered from her cough she's more likely to catch it so she can chill at home with me today x

    Anyway no goals today. Probs not any for the rest of the week. I feel wiped out!

    Happy Wednesday y'all!

    Didn't get to leave work on time yesterday, but still got most things in. Hubby ate part of my leftover pizza I was looking forward to, but I guess in a way that was better for my overall calories.

    My run/walk was disappointing as my knees hurt too much to run, so it was just a walk. Which means I'll be walking my half marathon in September, assuming I can get my pace down to 16min/mile.

    I came in to work at 5:30 this morning to prepare for my 9:30 meeting as I was just over it by 4:00 yesterday. Today is going to be a long day...

    I teach spin tonight, but have little else on my plate. Assuming more work stuff doesn't smack me in the face, :wink:

    Still working on regaining my motivation to focus on my health and fitness. So many things have been bogging me down.

    I've started a daily/weekly planner, hoping this will help keep me on track a little bit more. This week was a sort of "test" week with it to lock down what I want to track - next week I will make it more official.

    If anyone is interested, you can find the planner here for free

    Very late posting, for my accountability. Rain all yesterday & last night turned to snow before dawn. Decided it was WFH today, dog loved it, hubby interrupted my work, Kitty slept. Had my monthly two on one meeting (2 asst. managers vs. me) via Teams, FB Live & 1 hour webinar, submitted webinar summary form & CPE cert, updated & submitted monthly PAR s/s, not much productive time. Plus washed comforter since Kitty spit up hairball on it during the night. Somewhat hectic. Since tomorrow will also be hectic, posting for Fri as well.

    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)
    • 3.31.22 maintaining not gaining
    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
