    I keep sabotaging myself. I know that making goals and sticking to them works but every day I struggle.
    I think part of it is I really don’t like my job, I’m hoping to change that soon. I have a job interview tomorrow.
    The other part is I’m very lonely in the evenings with DH at work and I’m snacking my way through. This has to stop!

    Ugh! I’m starting again!
    JFT - July 28
    1.5L of water
    Log all Food
    Exercise 10 Mins
    Log into JFT

    I had a horrible binge day yesterday. So, getting back on track and logging today.
    My knee injury has been really frustrating me. Today feels like it is actually starting to heal. Going to try and start with smaller goals:

    5) Unplug 9:00 had to check emails for CPS survey / FLOSS :smiley: / RETAINERS :smiley: / PRAY & Calm :smiley: / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work) :smiley: YAY

    JFT R 7/28 ~ Day 1 of activity monitor
    1) Walked dog 3.53 mi before work :sunglasses: happy dog & happy me
    2) Asian salmon salad at concert (preordered) / 1 beer / net calories zero / 96 oz. water

    I enrolled in a sub-study of the nation-wide Cancer Prevention Study I've been in for years. Yesterday I received my activity monitor, which I must wear 7 consecutive days during all waking hours (minus shower or swimming). I think this may kick my rear back into gear, because I don't want to appear to be a lazy bones. It already forced me to get up early before work & walk dog today. Helped that weather is gorgeous, not hot or humid or windy. Fingers crossed!
    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"

    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
    • 6.30.22 ups & downs in June, but no worse at end of month
    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
    • Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
    • Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept)
    • 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 ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Yesterday was long but good. Hubby and I went out for pub trivia. I stayed on plan and drank only water AND I had a salad, not a calzone. Needless to say, no laundry got done.

    Found out hubby likely tore his rotator cuff.

    Tonight is my MIL birthday, and we totally forgot. Gotta stop somewhere on the way to dinner and get a thoughtful meaningful gift... Yeah really dropped the ball on this one! Oh well, it is what it is. Dinner there will likely not be on my healthy food plan, but I'm sure it will be good. I'm totally not going to offend her on her birthday!

    Getting ready to leave for a week vacation. I won't post JFT, but will do hour commitments as needed.

    Hour commitment - After my green beans, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner at lunch. Can still have dose of metamusal.

    Having a good food day so far. So good I was able to have rice and mini naan with my curry for dinner and still got plenty of calories to spare. Which means I could have myself a bedtime snack if I wish! Although I'm still gonna try keep it healthy. I've been doing so well! Not had crisps for 3 days which is just unheard of 🤣🤣

    I've randomly got into the swing of logging again and posting daily. Just outta nowhere. Maybe I was overthinking it before. Or im fully committed to change, finally. X

    I did get to ride horseback, so that's good. I got into the candy so that's bad. But my calories will be fine if I stop eating now for the night. I can do this, I have done it before!

    JFT Friday
    1. Park walk? YMCA.
    2. Organize office.
    3. Duolingo. McKay's - take books in crate!
    4. Reading - 30 min. Update Goodreads.
    5. Write S&F!!
    6. Finish writing book list script. Blog post.
    7. Move furniture in office.
    8. Evening: Podcast. 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. Lang8?
    10. Upcoming: Set up digital portfolio. Check with KS about presentation - ?? Design voter registration sign. Saturday library volunteering. Sunday livestream & movie video. Sat Aug 6 library craft??

    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: 211.6

    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 July 11 10 AM. PCP Oct 21 10:30 TEL. Therapy 7/28 8A. Obgyn Oct 14 12:45.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 16 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.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    JFT Thurs 28th
    - Waters (minimum 6) ✔️ 8
    - Log all food✔️
    - Exercise✔️ (try something a bit more harder today)
    - No bedtime snacks✔️

    Smashed it again yesterday! I need to change my goal of "No bedtime snacks" to "No over snacking" because I had a snack last night but my calories more than allowed for it.

    I've already been up and out this morning to the post office then to Asda. So a good hour walk. Around 2 miles?

    I did my exercise, it was 30 minutes long but I only managed 15, but I was already knackered when I started from spending 2.5 hours cleaning the kitchen earlier in the day.

    JFT Friday 29th
    - Get present for friends birthday today ✔️
    - Water (min. 6)
    - Log all food
    - Exercises (arm ones today, no cardio)
    - No over snacking at bedtime

    Have a good day everyone!! X

    Goal for today is to log all my food and drink 48 oz of water. So far I’m only at 22 oz. Overall calorie count continues to be much lower than I’d like because I just don’t have an appetite when I’m stressed. Torn between working the weekend to keep stress levels lower for next week, or using the weekend to catch up on household chores, get my creative writing business off the ground and maybe find a few minutes to breathe. Hopefully things will be a little smoother as July ends and a new month begins.

    Been a really long week and it is finishing with an excruciating day. Not really, more like an overwhelming day. There is just too much that needs to get done. I decided to take 10-15 to chill before I take my 2 hour Lead Auditor Exam. The class was good, but these tests are tough because they are tricky. I wish I had taken the test right after class, but there were things at work that needed immediate attention. I think I have everything under control for a few hours so I can get this test over with.

    JFT Friday 29th
    - Get present for friends birthday today ✔️
    - Water (min. 6)✔️
    - Log all food✔️
    - Exercises ❌(arm ones today, no cardio)
    - No over snacking at bedtime❌

    Have a good day everyone!! X

    Had an okay day today. Got my 8 waters in, just! And logged all my food. Apart from maybe a swig of chocolate milk 😂

    I was ready by 1pm to go visit my friend for her birthday. But she and my other friend weren't ready til 5pm. And cause I tend to plan my day in my head that was a bit of a curveball as I didn't know whether to do the kids tea before or after. I did it after when we got home at 7. They had drink and snack at my friend's. It was really nice to see them. Its weird from going walking every day with them to school seeing them 5 times a week and then basically not at all. We speak every day though lol.

    I was too tired after all that anyway 5pm is normally my "crash" time where my energys been spent. So I was absolutely shattered by bed time. So I didn't exercise. And I did have only 2 bed time snacks. 3 pieces of salami and a pack of crisps. Now this isn't "over snacking" but it means I ate more calories than I liked.
    Plus I broke my "no crisps" streak. However. I needed it. I really did lol

    But here's to a better day, although I woke up at 11am and had to apologize to the girls for not getting up sooner. They said it was fine though but they were a bit hungry. Feel bad. But I was out like a log.

    I've slept 10 and half hours and stil feel tired. Just how?

    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: 211.2

    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 July 11 10 AM. PCP Oct 21 10:30 TEL. Therapy 7/28 8A. Obgyn Oct 14 12:45.
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 16 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.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until DH wants lunch.

    I get such guilt feelings when I have to eat out all the time because I don’t know the true calories, there’s too much salt, and I do consume more calories. I’m always afraid all my weight is going to fly back on. .. and it was such a struggle to lose it. (And it’s so much harder at 64). Anyway, just thought I’d write it down. Most of our vacations we walk so much and I don’t really just “let go” that I come back the same or just a couple of pounds up which is usually just salt. Anyway, I want to give myself permission to try to enjoy my trip with my husband and my dogs and not be moody around food issues. I feel like such a nut sometimes.

    ACK! Yesterday, supervisor overheard me complaining about her to my favorite co-worker (I can be so stupid) & emailed me to let me know. She cc'd our manager & dept. admin. WTH?!? Before I was able to see supervisor (we MUST respect closed office door!), I apologized face to face to manager, who seemed to take it in stride. At end of work day, finally I had my chance and apologized face to face to supervisor, in presence of manager... supervisor thanked me for apologizing but her response was glacial, while manager seemed chill. Oh well. As hubby says, I did what I could. Counting down days to retirement this fall. If I last that long.
    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
    • 6.30.22 ups & downs in June, but no worse at end of month
    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
    • Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
    • Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidering due to knees on nature trails with rocks & trees roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill
    • 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 ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship
