    Pleasant weekend mostly at home, and got household stuff taken care of. Skipped workouts three days in a row, I think my body needed the rest.

    May Exercise Challenge:
    Goal 1: PT exercises 4-5 days per week
    Week 1: :smiley::smiley::smiley: {more dog walks instead}
    Week 2: :smiley::smiley::smiley:

    Goal 2: 3 mile dog walks, up to 5 days per week by end of May if knees permit

    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
    • 4.30.22 barely maintaining
    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
    • registered 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

    Didn't log much over the weekend, but I did exercise Saturday. Okay I did a hard 16 mile bike ride, followed by a more relaxed 24 mile Pub ride. It was 40 mile total on the day with beer and deep fried goodness as we finished up. I think we hit 5 pubs on our ride. I'm not much of a craft beer person so I mostly just did tasters after getting a beer I didn't like at the first pub. All in all it was a great day with great people including my hubby. Sunday I wasn't feeling great so after church I just kind of watched hockey and dozed. There was a church picnic, but we baled on that which means we have a very large fruit salad to eat this week. Luckily it has very little other than fruit. The only additives are a 1/4cup of OJ & a 1/4 cup of honey, but for the size of the bowl, that isn't much.

    Almost forgot that I am covering Sarah's cycling class tomorrow. Kind of a bummer as its a club ride day and I've been trying to get back into that. Oh well, its movement and a really good workout. Shorter but more intense than the club ride I do.

    Sierra is driving me a bit crazy already. The child never relaxes. It's great in that my flower beds are weeded and the bushes are trimmed and the yard is mowed and the kitchen is cleaned, but I feel like anytime I sit down and chill I'm being judged. Luckily she starts working today, so she'll have an outlet for some of her energy. She cleaned V's room as a birthday gift, and V has already let it go to hell in a handbasket. I think after work/school today she and I are going to work on it some more. The child has got to learn to be responsible. She does great in every other facet, but her room is atrocious.

    Anyway...

    JFT Monday
    - Early meeting :smiley: (took it at home)
    - Pack some fruit salad :smiley: -
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Work stuff
    - Home at 4:30
    - Work on V's room with her
    - Put away laundry
    - Have V sort through her laundry and thin out the stuff she doesn't wear. The child has more clothes than she knows what to do with. She went through this process with her shoes. There is a brand new pair of Converse (with tags) that she no longer wants. Ughhhh... I don't even think she remembered she had them.
    - Watch hockey and eat leftover pizza for dinner
    - No alcohol
    - Bed by 11:30 (though lately its more like 9:00)

    Have a delightful Monday y'all!

    JFT Monday
    1. No candy yes
    2. No cookies yes
    3. Eat under my calorie limit yes
    4. Yoga yes
    5. Fast marching yes
    6. Eat salad yes
    7. Pay storage bill yes

    Straight Yes! Yay! I feel a little guilty because I ate a lot of my exercise calories back. I can do better. I had faux ice cream at the last minute, didn't go over calories, but close, and I'm still not satisfied. Oh well, the feeling will pass. And I should be satisfied with meeting my goals. I'm being a perfectionist again.

    JFT Tuesday
    1. No candy
    2. No cookies
    3. Eat under my calorie limit
    4. Dumbbells 40 reps
    5. Buy groceries

    I read an interesting article in a magazine a few months ago. It was suggested that setting our goals in negative terms about what we’re not going to do was counter intuitive. The brain sees the goal, and concentrates on the action, ignoring the β€˜I will not’ bit’. For example
    If you write:
    I will not eat cookies.
    … The brain latches onto the eat cookies and obsesses over them, making it difficult for you to resist them.

    Food for thought?

    Positive Habit development is believed to short-circuit this tendency.

    So after working on V's room, I decided laundry and sorting could wait until today. I really don't want her to feel overwhelmed. Anyway, the room is cleaner than it has been in quite some time.

    Today is work, laundry and spin class. Not necessarily in that order. Spin is at 6:00 so laundry may be before and or after... Other than that no real plans for the day. Oh, I packed a lunch and forgot it at home, grrr...

    JFT Tuesday
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Meetings

    I totally agree with this! I try to phrase my goals with 'I will' instead. Recently I have been snacking on a salty sweet (which I love & crave) and tell myself "I will not eat more than one portion". Of course, I eat more than one portion. Maybe if I rephrase to "I will eat one portion & stop." I'll see if that helps.

    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
    • 4.30.22 barely maintaining
    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
    • registered 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

    Just for Monday:
    • Create 24H Plan :smile:
    • Assess yesterday's 24H Plan :smile:
    • Drink 64+ oz water :(48 oz, so better than nothing!
    • Do one thing on my "What Brings me Joy" list :)I started reading my new mystery recently purchased.
    • Readings/Reflections/Journaling :smile:
    • Podcasts - NoBS, The Exam Room, JM, Half Size Me, OLD & OHD :)No BS and The Exam Room
    • Eat only when hungry. Stop at enough. :)Yay! This is so hard! But I'm learning what my actual hunger signals are and when I've had enough but not crossed over to 'full'.
    • Bed on time...lights out on time. :(Really bad last night. I couldn't sleep. Only slept about 3 hours, and I'm growly as a bear this morning.
    • Set alarm for AM and work on building new healthy habit. :)Got up 1 hour earlier than alarm.

    Really tired today. Was up all but 3 hours last night. I'll have to be careful not to grab food all day long, because that's what I tend to do when tired or emotional.

    Have a great day JFTers! :)

    I have a pot roast on the stove for my parents, but we have a Dr appointment at 4:00 so it may not get done. It is frozen solid now. Too late to come to my senses and pick something else. I was hoping that magically there would be more time between groceries and the doctor. Lol 😊
