    I'm going to have to sit out of the challenge this week.
    Just tested positive for COVID :(

    Feel okay. Just peculiar. So maybe not okay but I don't have any serious symptoms like difficulty breathing or anything so I'll take that.

    Oh no!! Take good care of yourself and hope you recover quickly!

    JFT, Sunday, 4/3
    1. plan meals for today - april challenge - tonite, either beef burrittos or chicken fajitas. Since I'm working in the yard.. want something easy. My breakfast is always easy .. oatmeal, and lunches are either yogurt, cottage cheese, or a simple sandwich. Snack tonite ... just a orange or protein shake.. nothing else :) Made beef burittos
    2. work in the yard :)
    3. try to walk or maybe ride my bike :( Worked in the yard from 11am until 4:30 ... so no walking or riding bike.
    4. concentrate on water :( Not as good as should be .. got in about 4 cups.

    JFT, Monday
    1. log all food
    2. concentrate on 8+ water
    3. walk or go to the gym
    4. work on quilt
    5. clean patio storage room
    6. call dentist -- I chipped a piece off my front tooth! So hoping he can just fix it without having to get a crown.
    7. clean house -- ha -- this has been on my mental list for 4 days! But the house is not that bad .. just mainly vacuum, scrub the kitchen floor and dust.

    Sunday went pretty well, despite the rain. I skipped the garden center but got a few indoor chores done before my daughter's family came over. Mid-afternoon, the rain let up for a couple of hours, so we were all able to get out in the yard to enjoy the sun for a bit before dinner. Unfortunately, the rain started coming down hard just as we were ready to grill, but my trusty Eagle Scout was undeterred! We had a yummy meal. and I have enough leftovers to make meal planning and prep easy for a couple of days :)

    Recap - Sunday, 4/3
    Plan meals - :)
    Log - :)
    Balanced meals - :)
    Hydrate - :)
    Indoor bike - :)

    April 5# challenge this may be the kick in the pants I badly need
    SW 4/2 173#

    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

    Hey everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Woke up to a dusting of snow again today. :frowning: It's APRIL so I know it's not going to be long before we see some green budding on the trees and some flowers peaking through. :flowerforyou: I think we have a couple bird nests in our yard this year, so that's cool. I like seeing the eggs hatch and watching the babies. :smile:

    I received the results from a Sensitivity/Intolerance/Allergy test today. Apparently, I have a 98% intolerance to the protein found in animal milk and any products made from whey. So seeing as I live in WI, the Dairy State, and I'm a Cheese Head who lives in Green Bay, that's a tough pill to swallow! I have other foods that I also need to eliminate to reverse health issues, but cheese is going to be the hardest for me. I love, love, love it. *Sigh*

    I have to go back to page 63 to catch up with y'all, but I'm hoping everyone is doing well. :heart:

    Just for Monday (4/4/22)
    • Create 24H Plan and assess yesterday's
    • Journal on relationship goals
    • Listen to NoBS course, module 1-2
    • Close activity rings | 15 minutes intentional activity (starting slowly due to knee & ankle pain)
    • 30 minutes in Quilting Corner
    • 15 minutes digital declutter
    • 64 oz water before 7:00 pm
    • Check into JFT tomorrow and update
    • Evening Routine: Brush/floss/wash/lotion. Meds/Supplements. Coffeemaker. Readings. Gratitude Journal. Set morning alarm. Lights out on time.


    This month I will:
    • Start April Fun Day list
    • April Budget / Bills
    • Birthday Cards - buy & mail / get some cash
    • Research results of Sensitivity/Intolerance test. What do I need to eliminate? Replace with? Begin Elimination Journal
    • Recipes to support a Whole Foods Plant-Based lifestyle
    • Begin my new book.
    • Finish the quilting on Tim's lap quilt. Cut and sew on the binding.
    • Finish the backing on MSQC lap quilt. Sandwich and quilt. Cut and sew binding.

    WOTY 2022: Intentional. I will get intentional activity every day so I can live a long, healthy, active life in retirement.

    @PackerFanInGB Ouch! Being a Dairy State girl too, l love all things dairy. Giving up cheese would be very difficult for me.

    Recap M 4/4
    1) Dentist 8:30 :smiley: implant looking good yay
    2) Move hourly :) 6.6K 12/14
    3) Net calories <200 red / 96 oz. water :s Including my middle of night snack -459, sodium still green yay, fiber spot on, protein & calcium excellent, 80 oz. water
    4) Contact Carie re inventory & e-cash docs ~ surprise, she's on PTO this week, resulting in calls to several others for needed answers, but got info / email GA records request / GA-S prep / emails current / leave 4:25 :) 5/5
    5) Haircut 5:00 / boil eggs / declutter 15 min. / prep overnight oats / meal plan & grocery list ~ in progress / another ta-da? TA-DA! :smiley: 6/6
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:15 alarm (PT exercises before spring primary & work) :p 1.5/6

    JFT T 4/5
    1) Before work: PT exercises / vote spring primary = 2/2
    2) Move hourly
    3) Net calories <200 red / 96 oz. water
    4) 9:00 EHN update (watch recording since interrupted by co-worker) / Facebook Live video / GA-S prep / update cjs log & PRO comments / prep webinar summary for W / emails current

    Interrupted sleep last night & wide awake, hit snooze on alarm few too many times this morning, still did PT but reduced sets & certain reps. While I was awake middle of night, felt hungry and opened/snacked on chick pea crackers. Logged this morning. Sigh.

    April 5# challenge {Sat. weigh-ins}
    SW 4/2 173#

    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

    Don't think I did goals yesterday... It was a not great day health wise, but not too much damage.

    Today has been chaotic. Woke up at 7:20, had a 7:30 international call (Took from home). WHile on the call I got a call from a service technician who was on-site (I didn't know he was coming today). Couldn't talk to him, texted and made arrangements for a guest pass while on first call. Got dressed while on first call (kept checking to make sure my camera was off during the call). Rushed to the site, grabbed the service tech and set him up while I went to an in person meeting. Phew... But it all turned out ok other than me being a bit scattered and off.

    I have been totally focused on one part of my job for the past few weeks and the other things are falling through the cracks. Trying to seal up the cracks today... Not sure I have enough duct tape to do it, but I'm gonna try!

    JFT Tuesday
    - Up at 6:30 :(
    - Weigh :(
    - Work by 7:00 :(
    - Meeting at 7:30 :smiley:
    - In person Meeting at 9:00 :smiley:
    - Work with service tech
    - Customer 8D
    - CTS :smiley:
    - Calibration Extension review
    - MSA data
    - HPLC repair
    - Reschedule customer visit
    - Log food
    - Stay Green
    - Bible Study at 6:30
    - Limit to 2 beers tonight
    - Bed by 11:30

    I'm gonna cry... Just spread too thin right now.

    @PackerFanInGB -- OH... I could never give up cheese! I love cheese, and cook with it all the time. I am so sorry .. hopefully you can find a good substitute.. but I guess if you feel better not having it it will be worth it. Take care! Hugs
