    5. order compost to be delivered. it has been so wet and gloomy.. I am so far behind on any yard work

    Where I live we can only dream about doing yard work in April. Gardeners here wait until we have a full week reaching 50 degrees before doing anything, so the pollinators aren't disturbed too early. Usually that's mid- to late-May. Today we are having snow flurries off and on. :)

    Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. No desserts the remainder of the day unless it sugarfree or no sugar added. Can still have my dose of metamusal.

    I seriously can't get over the fact that it is only Thursday... Have a great one y'all!

    Wow yesterday was a mess, worked late didn't get to mom's. Made it to my spin class on time, but with no time to go home and change so I taught in jeans and dress shoes. At least I changed out of the steal toes. Then as I pulled into the parking lot at the Y, I realized I had forgotten my phone at work. That means no playlist for spin, ended up finding a radio and we just used that. Luckily only one person showed for class and she was new and only wanted to do 30 minutes. Fine by me, sweat and jeans are an icky combination. After the gym I had a bike club meeting at a local pub. Had a few more drinks than planned, but really enjoyed the evening. Decided I'd just wait for today to pick up my phone. I didn't miss much.

    Just another crazy day at work, which means it's 3:30 pm and I'm just now checking in. Actually planning to leave in a few minutes and go to mom's. Then it will be a quick trip home before going to the play.

    - Morning meetings :smiley:

    - More meetings :smiley:
    - Compile numbers for complaint :smiley: they are ugly, but done
    - Make hotel reservations for Sunday/Monday in Richmond
    - Leave work by 4:00
    - Go to mom's
    - Eat something
    - Go to play
    - Bed by 11:30

    Have a great one y'all!!

    Here the last freeze is suppose to be April 15.. but many years I can plant things early in april. I usually order my compost early March! We had snow flurries also today ... right now, it is 33degrees and very windy out!

    Recap F 4/8
    1) PT exercises, including one new with resistance & think I've figured out how to incorporate other new exercise (need something several inches high to step on), done before work despite myself :smirk:
    2) Move hourly / a few stairs breaks :) 8.1K 18 floors 14/14 boom!
    3) Make easy baked ziti for supper leftovers / net calories < 100 red / 96 oz. water :# -354, sodium red, fiber protein calcium excellent, 96 oz water
    4) JJ in office 2 days in a row ~ will she return BC-CC folder (reviewed) to me? yes & report issued yay / GA-S testing / update Project Status s/s (does anyone in mgmt ever read this?) / update & submit weekly PAR, PRO & HW s/s's (ditto re mgmt) / contact S re workplace hikes / emails current :) 6/6
    5) Wash towels / clean kitty hallway / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? TA-DA! :) ok for Friday evening 4/6
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. (errands, household chores, maybe try easy hike with hubby & dog) = 2/6

    April 5# challenge {Sat. weigh-ins}
    SW 4/2 173#
    4/9 171# net calories & sodium better this week

    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

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: 205.0

    Ongoing plans/ideas
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for GR purchase list.
    2. E2: Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
    6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Mar 8 7P.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. April and May and then summer.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    Monday morning again, how quickly the weeks go by!

    I did well on Saturday, but went completely off piste on Sunday. I spent the whole day clearing stuff out at parents house, and going back and forwards to deal with the loads of laundry at home. I didn't want to waste the good drying weather. I ended up really sore and stiff. my food plans didn't work out, as it didn't fit in with family.

    Today will be more of the same, the house clearing is now priority, before the professionals come in later this week.

    Crazy week starting. Traveling, then international business partners will be in town. Meals will be out for lunch and dinner most nights. With little time for exercise. No goals today other than surviving the visit and the 7 hour drive home.

    Back from a fun family weekend with the grandkids. Despite the damp and chilly weather, I did get out for a walk on Saturday while the birthday girl was napping. Three is such a delightful age! Even the simplest things - a bowl of berries, a shiny balloon, and a chocolate cake with purple icing and "unicorn sprinkles" - are a source of joy and wonder.

    On Sunday, my daughter organized an egg hunt for the kids. She assigned a separate color to each child and adjusted the difficulty by age. I got to "hide" the purple eggs for the three year old while my husband came up with some tricky spots to challenge our oldest grandson. While most of the eggs held candy or small toys, there were a few gag eggs as well that the kids could exchange for larger items like bubbles and squishy balls. We were all amazed that the live worm hidden in one of the older kids' eggs managed to escape through one of the tiny safety holes in the egg.

    Overall, it was a great weekend, but I did have lots of take-out food and, of course, cake. Today it's back to planning and eating balanced meals and trying to get more exercise.

    Recap - Weekend goals 4/8-4/10
    Make healthy choices - Only about half the time. Too many carbs, too few veggies, and far too much sodium.
    Hydrate - :)
    Get out and walk - :)
    Enjoy time with family - :):):)

    JFT Monday 4/11
    Plan meals - :) No opportunity to plan over the weekend, but I'm back on track today.

    Busy weekend, included recycling old microwave, buying/installing new shelf bracing & putting all the clothes back into my section of closet, finance tasks, final decluttering/cleaning of dining & family rooms, and decorating for Easter for when my family comes. Even fit in two short hikes with hubby & dog. Had wonderful Palm Sunday service & brunch at church, first time in three years, and ate too much. Didn't log food since I had no idea, and probably not enough water all day. Back to logging today.

    JFT M 4/11
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley: not enough time for multiple sets but included two new exercises added last week, working on my balance/hips
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    3) Net calories < 200 red / 96 oz. water
    4) Register for workplace lunch hikes / GA-S testing / empty Deleted stuff day / emails current / review last week's webinar Chat
    5) Cleaning in living room & kitchen / wash dishes / digital declutter 15 min. / prep overnight oats / another ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:15 alarm (PT exercises before work)

    April 5# challenge {Sat. weigh-ins}

    About me: Carmela

    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

    Spring weather finally cooperated so hubby, dog & I hiked the one mile loop at He-Nis-Ra Park on both Sat. and Sun. It was cold enough to wear my winter coat on Sat. but warmer Sunday. Here's me with very happy dog yesterday. We enjoyed the rarely seen blue sky & sun LOL. My knees were ok until Sun. evening, no surprise with the amount of activity over the weekend. Nothing an Aleve couldn't handle.

    Feeling alot better from the COVID. Still got a slight cough which is annoying but otherwise okay. I feel like I'm getting less breathless now too.

    I even started to log again today.
    I mean I've ate rubbish all day but I've logged it.
    Had Tim Hortons breakfast wrap for.. well breakfast (it's in the name haha)
    And a Greggs sausage roll for lunch.

    So far I've skipped dinner as the THs wrap has really done a number on my stomach. Just put my stomach off.
    It was a suprise breakfast off ash but I'm not really a breakfast person. Maybe that's what set it off, eating so early in the morning. I usually don't eat til 10/11 and I ate this at 8.15.

    I also got some cleaning done today. I'm never gonna get it all done in one day so I've broke it down into jobs that need doing and going from there.
    Today I cleaned the fridge before the food shop arrived, took out all my recycling rubbish, took out all the general rubbish.
    Was supposed to then start the pots but that's been moved til tomorrow now as I just ran out of effort.
    But I'm happy with what I've achieved. Doesn't sound like much but normally I'd do literally nothing so it's a start

    MFP is weird. If I want to post a photo on my News Feed, I cannot download & post photos using the MFP website on my computer, but can post photos using the app on my Android phone. Just the opposite to post photos on JFT (and I assume, all the Community). At least I've never been kicked off, that I recall. My hubby reminded me that different browsers sometimes act weird too.
