    JFT Thursday 16th June

    Log everything yes
    Stay in the green yes
    Foot exercises no, foot hurting again, spoke too soon!
    Back exercises a few
    To Do list still working on it

    Grumpy with the scales today. For the first time in ages I've weighed and logged my food properly, had fruit or veg at every meal, been in the green, and been active outside (for me anyway)...and I'm up a pound. How annoying. Gotta come off eventually.

    A good day yesterday. I didn't manage to walk, but did 2 hours digging in the garden, some more garage clearing, and then some pruning in the evening. And even better, I visited son in the evening and walking home I felt good enough to go for a walk, when usually my back would be bad by then. Proof the osteo helps! Didn't actually walk though, as the pollen was really making my eyes sore.

    Today I have to stay in son's house until his parcel arrives, 3 hour delivery window.

    - Up at 6:30 :smiley:
    - Weigh :smiley:
    - Work by 7:30 :smiley:
    - Log food :smiley:

    Was over cals yesterday, but not by much. Also didn't walk. It was just too hot and humid by the time I got home.

    Been really busy and productive at work this morning, but the afternoon may be rather boring...

    Dinner at the in-laws this evening so no walk/ride. My sister-n-law and niece are coming in this evening. My niece has an announcement which we all figure is that she is pregnant. She's been trying for nearly a year now through artificial insemination. The grandparents will have a hard time wrapping their head around it. They just got used to the fact that she married a woman, though they love Allie very much.

    Guess I need some goals...

    - Up at 7:00 :smiley:
    - Weigh :smiley:
    - Work by 8:00 :neutral: more like 8:07
    - Work stuff...
    - Log food
    - Stay within 200 cals of goal
    - No alcohol
    - Visit in-laws
    - Home by 10:00
    - Bed by 11:30

    Have a goof Friday y'all!

    MFP was not priority yesterday, but back today. We had severe storms Wed. evening, including a confirmed tornado just miles from home. Lots of downed and damaged trees, downed power lines and many, many power outages in the area. Apparently our side of town was hardest hit. Our yard had a few tree limbs & lots of leaves down, no damages, so not too bad. But one neighbor has tall tree snapped off & laying on the roof of their sunroom, another neighbor had a big tree take out their back fence. There are several large trees completely uprooted just one block east AND west of our home. And neighbors across the street for the entire block lost power Wed. which hasn't been restored YET. Thank God our side of the street has power. So yesterday was weird. Started with emergency alert on phone to avoid travel north of specific highway due to downed lines & trees. Great, covers my two usual routes to work. Just before I attempted the drive to work, called by my manager & told no access to the office, 30 min. later getting "permission" from her boss to pick up my work laptop. I understood concerns, but it wasn't like I was going to drive over downed trees or power lines in my little Honda Civic. Ended up taking several detours due to road closures, all for limited ability to work from home. I didn't care. Sort of back to normal today, only just. I'd better make some goals.

    JFT TGIF 6/17
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    2) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
    3) Walk dog to park after work
    4) Update records request & inquiries reference sheet (I'll be helpful to the next person assigned to GA-S unlike previous colleagues) / update Project Status s/s / updated & submit weekly PRO, PAR & HW s/s's GAH / some of email backlog / start video review for BJ follow-up
    5) R2AK tracker / email P / another ta-da? maybe, it is Friday
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / pray & Calm / 7:00 alarm (farmers market downtown, walk dog in a.m.)

    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
    • 5.31.22 ack
    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
    • Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine :star: happy me
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K on 10/1/22
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22
    • 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

    Weigh-in: up half a pound from last Friday. Not bad considering I was way over calories three days when my cousin was here. The muffins were really good but I'm not sure they were worth breaking my weight loss streak. But now I'm back to my good diet ways.

    You've got this! We all have special occasions that we have to deal with. As I move through this process, I hope I learn to manage them as well as you did!

    I just re-reached my weight from the beginning of the month. Not productive for loss, but at least I'm staying steady.

    JFT Sunday
    1. Update Goodreads.
    2. Groceries.
    3. Laundry.
    4. WCDP updates.
    5. Update Beanstack.
    6. Shoot MM review.
    7. Office cleaning.
    8. Evening: SocMed 30 min. Update WCDP. Dinner: Salad. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water! Update JFT.
    9. Bedtime: Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: crunches, push-ups, squats, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth.
    10. Upcoming: Sat YMCA. Books to library; review survey. Update Patreon.

    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: 207.8

    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. Yeah, that has NOT been a good word for this year.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    Today just didn't go to plan. The 3 hour delivery didn't happen. Parcel arrived at 7pm, 9 hours late. So I spent a lot of the day at son's house waiting, ended up doing some of his housework just for something to do. As though I won't have enough cleaning to do tomorrow!

    I know I won't overeat tomorrow as I can only eat what I take with me, and don't have much time for a break.

    It's been a hectic week, but it's finally Friday - yay!!! I didn't get around to posting, logging, or exercising most days. I had lunch out three days in a row, and I wasn't hungry or motivated enough to make much of an effort with dinner, leading me to snack later in the evening. Although most of my choices were fairly healthy, I'm sure I blew my snack budget for the week.

    Next week will likely be just as busy. I have a ton of papers coming in and also need to pack for an active family vacation. I've started making my lists, but there's so much to organize. My car is in the shop today, so I've been going through my summer clothes to see what fits and what needs to be replaced. The little NSVs have been cheering me through the tedious task. Now to get figure out what to do with the donation pile.

    No goals again. Just trying to maintain with healthy habits.

    JFT Friday
    1. No candy, cookies, cake or muffins no
    2. Eat under calorie limit yes
    3. Eat a salad no
    4. Yoga yes
    5. Fast marching yes

    I broke down and had a piece of candy. No big deal. But I missed my salad and had saltines for dinner instead. I made it under calories by a smidge. I'm fighting the mindset where after weigh-in is the best time for cheating. Actually, I should respect my body and eat well throughout.

    @pridesabtch thanks for the encouragement!

    JFT Saturday
    1. No candy, cookies, cake or muffins
    2. Eat under calorie limit
    3. Eat that salad
    4. Dumbbells 40 reps
    5. Laundry

    This week is the best time to lose weight before the Fourth of July, which is coming right up!

I understood concerns, but it wasn't like I was going to drive over downed trees or power lines in my little Honda Civic. Ended up taking several detours due to road closures, all for limited ability to work from home. I didn't care. Sort of back to normal today, only just. I'd better make some goals.

    JFT TGIF 6/17
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    2) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
    3) Walk dog to park after work
    4) Update records request & inquiries reference sheet (I'll be helpful to the next person assigned to GA-S unlike previous colleagues) / update Project Status s/s / updated & submit weekly PRO, PAR & HW s/s's GAH / some of email backlog / start video review for BJ follow-up
    5) R2AK tracker / email P / another ta-da? maybe, it is Friday
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / pray & Calm / 7:00 alarm (farmers market downtown, walk dog in a.m.)

    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
    • 5.31.22 ack
    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
    • Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine :star: happy me
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K on 10/1/22
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22
    • 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

    Something I've always wondered about... When tornados hit and damage your property, or destroy your house right to the ground, what do the owners do? Do you have to have insurance for your property for tornado damage, who then help with repairs in the aftermath? Or is it left to the owner to fix up themselves? Just wondering how it works over there with them being so frequent, isn't there like "tornado areas" where certain areas are more likely to be affected?

    Have a goof Friday y'all!

    Nice relatively short visit with the in-laws yesterday. Today will be longer I’m sure, but I don’t have to go over first thing this morning because I have a hair appointment. Actually the whole family is waiting for me to get back from the hair doctor before they head over. So looks like a cookout followed by movies this afternoon/evening. I also need to get an oil change this weekend. It’s is supposed to be nice today and tomorrow so I’d love to get out and ride or walk, but I’m not counting on it.

    Jour commitment - I won’t eat again until after 5 pm unless DH wants to eat early. Can have a dessert if he wants one. Can still have my dose of metamusal later.

    Well I've been eating badly for the last two hours, and I'm one lousy calorie over. I had candy and cookies, so much tastier than the salad I had planned! I need to stop NOW. I had my treats. What I really want is to be down again next Friday, not these momentary sugar bites. Enough. I am done now. Maybe I will go walk a bit.
