    Happy Thursday y'all!

    Got out of work late yesterday, so I didn't have time to ride, but that's ok. Funny thing yesterday, I asked hubby for hamburgers for dinner. I was totally looking forward to a big juice hamburger. Hubby knows I've been watching what I eat and I have been doing turkey burgers, so that is what he made me. I actually cried when he brought it in from the grill. I had saved calories for the beef. He was probably right to do turkey, but I had my heart set on a real burger. I didn't realize how much I was wanting the beef, can't believe I cried over a turkey burger...

    I'm looking at taking a half day today and riding & mowing. We'll see if that happens. I may go to a baby shower instead. One of my former teens from church is having her second baby. She is a doll. I sent a gift already, but like supporting the "kids". But baby showers mean cake, and that is totally off plan. I'm weak, and I LOVE cake. Maybe if I can ride and mow before then I can squeeze it in and ignore that it's all carbs.

    Tomorrow is the local half marathon which is actually the national championship. Sierra is running and I'm riding bike patrol. We monitor the race walkers and make sure that no one is having issues. I am assigned miles 7 & 8. It's a long day on the bike, but not necessarily difficult. It's a fun day of cheering and riding.

    Yesterday at 2:54 my a$$t manager handed me re-reviewed GA-S folder with more comments for follow-up (at least this time typed instead tiny sticky notes) & I know the comments will be super-picky. I knew she would leave 3:00, has F vacation then weekend, so I managed to catch her in office before she left to ask about priorities since I'm in middle of T31... Her reply, can't I do them simultaneously? Really? I'm on vacation all next week, and I refuse to get myself worked up further by reviewing her comments before that. The folder has been with her since late July, it can sit in my office until I return from vacation. Oh yeah, and the day after I return, we have our little "retreat" at our own expense. Sorry for the rant, in case anyone is still reading. I need to get over this *kitten*.
    About me: Carmela

    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

    • 5.31.22 ack
    • 6.30.22 ups & downs in June, but no worse at end of month
    • 8.2.22 up again ~ gah! (lazy in July & ate whatever I wanted)
    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) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks, tree roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill... have decided not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me)
    • 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

    I'm still here Bex! Just busy!
    How are YOU doing? Kids are probably getting ready to go back to school! I'm sure thats a bittersweet time ... hate to see summer end, but also, everyone is probably ready for a change!

    I'm doing okay you know :) did get on a bit of a fitness/diet buzz not long ago but tbh my internet is down at the moment so can't really do much, well I could but I find it easier to log and track what I'm doing.
    A few times a day I hotspot off ash's phone to use the internet. Because my phone company has also buggered up my SIM bill.

    Kids go back 5th sept. So I got 2 weeks left. Tbh it's been okay this summer, bit too hot, ash's parents had all the kids for 4 days. That was bliss. And my parents had just Saskia for a weekend caravan trip!
    I'm getting excited for them to go back to school though so I can keep my house clean for longer than an hour 😂 and plus I've missed my friends so much!

    Hoping to get back to regular posting when my internet sorts itself. Dunno what it's doing but the bills been paid? It's just not working. The box has a big red line going all around it, it annoys me every time I see it 😂

    Yeah the heat over here is just humid and as our houses are generally built to keep heat IN, it's been awful lol. It is starting to cool off though and I'm ready for some more routine.

    Hoping in the last couple of weeks I can get to the science museum, maybe the beach for the day or atleast to some arcades and the park a few times before they go back.

    Today we've just been watching telly and drawing. The kids have been getting me to draw fairy's most the day LOL (apparently I'm a "professional") 😂😂😂

    Yesterday turned out busier than expected, but I did get the house straightened up and pretty much back to normal. I had my grandsons for the afternoon while my daughter got a pedicure and relaxed on her own for a bit. Although school starts in a couple of weeks, we seem to be at that stage of the summer where the kids are bored and the parents need a break.

    My car is in for an oil change and some maintenance, so I may not get my errands done today. Fortunately, I got all the shopping done, and I've planned a healthy dinner of grilled salmon and asparagus. Made a chocolate cream pie this morning - my son's and grandson's favorite - and will do fresh corn salad and maybe a peach cobbler or sour cream peach pie later. I love to cook for family and friends - just need to remember to keep my portions small.

    Recap - Thursday, 8/18
    Balanced meals - Started well, but things went downhill all day and I wound up eating cookies for dinner :/
    Hydrate - :)
    Outdoor exercise - No
    Finish clean-up - :) Pretty much done
    Pharmacy? - No
    Catch up with JFT friends - Almost done reading

    JFT Friday, 8/19
    Balanced meals
    Hydrate
    Pharmacy
    Bank
    Relax with family
    Catch up with JFT friends over the weekend

    Hello and happy Friday!

    Tonight is one of my grandson's first football game since moving here this summer, so I'm really excited to go watch! It's out of town, so my plan is to pick up Subway on the way to the game for dinner. He is a sophomore but will be playing on the Varsity team so the o:) sitting on one shoulder is worried about him getting hurt and the >:) on the other shoulder is excited to cheer him on. lol

    I didn't have much get up and go this morning and then my BFF called and we talked on the phone for at least 90 minutes, so today is not going to be a very productive day. I'm okay with it since the last two weeks have been more productive for me than usual. I don't know how I kept up with projects when working...I have to MAKE myself get stuff done lately.

    Here's my goals, better late than never! :wink:

    JFT:
    1. Create 24H plan and Assess yesterday's plan.
    2. WATER! DRINK IT!
    3. Watch salt intake. Fingers are puffy. Not cool.
    4. 30 minutes in sewing area quilting or decluttering/sorting fabric
    5. 10 minutes digital decluttering
    6. M's football game. Feed dogs, let them out, leave note for A, clear counters, etc. before leaving. Stop and grab cash for concessions.
    7. Log food to get idea of calories I'm consuming.
    8. Set alarm for tomorrow so I can get up early and maybe head to Farmer's Market.

    WOTY: Intentional I will be intentional in my decisions in order to move forward to goal!

    I’ve been doing really well this past week eating a healthy (for me) amount of food. Today I severely under ate by an amount I don’t even want to admit to. Feel like I just wiped out all my progress for this week 😞

    Busy day today .. I got hubby out of the house. They had a large festival today .. over 300 craft vendors. It was nice just getting out walking around, even though I did not buy anything
    Daughter came out for a couple of hours.. and tonite I will take it easy and do some sewing.
    tomorrow my plan is to get to the gym early in the morning, or go out for a walk.
    I have been making little quilted hearts to "hide" in public places for people to find them. (I found a quilted heart website for info). It is fun to do,and I hope whoever finds them it brings them some peace, or puts a smile on their face. So far I have distributed 9 hearts .. most I hung on tree branches at a nature park. Each day I've gone to check if they are there.. and they are gone. So I put more out! Something crazy to do, but it makes me feel I can put a smile on someone's face, and that makes me happy.
    Monday hubby goes to have his psa numbers checked. We are hoping the psa numbers are down. Last time, 3 months ago,the numbers had gone up, meaning the cancer is back. So keeping our fingers crossed that we get good news.

    Goals for tomorrow, Sunday
    1. go to gym or go for a long walk .. and leave 4 more hearts for people to find
    2. do laundry
    3. sew -- make 1 more fidget quilt; sew together rows on charity quilt; get out embroidery machine to sew more bears for hospitals
    4. concentrate on water
    5. concentrate on snacking... mindful eating

I’m sure I’ll make up for it today. Hubby and I went out to dinner last night and then to see Bullet Train. It was ok, but not necessarily my taste. At least I got to look at Brad Pitt. More amazingly, I didn’t eat any 🍿. That odd big for me I can take down a good 3/4 of a large bucket with extra butter all by myself!

    Today was church, grocery & laundry. Making tacos for dinner. Hubby is out of town for the day at a funeral, so it’s just me and the girls. It’s a pretty mellow day.

    The scale went the wrong direction this week, but the damage wasn’t as bad as I thought. And I did better today than I did yesterday. Hopefully I can keep the trend going.

    Feel like I got a lot done yesterday, but truth is I only got 3 loads of laundry done, so that wasn't as good as I'd hoped. Actually one load is still in the dryer. On an up note the capris I wore to church Sunday didn't fit a month ago and now they were falling down. I'm doing well with the mini meals, but there are definitely things I miss now that I've gone low carb. You know like real pizza... I do a mini pizza thing with flat cauliflower crust which isn't bad, but I miss the sauce I used to use. It has too much sugar in it... The option that is recommended is Rao's, but it's chunky and I prefer a smooth sauce as I'm not a fan of tomatoes themselves. Think I'll start looking for an alternative.

    I think I'm finally settling into my new position, but there is just a lot to do between now and November 1, when the company splits.

    Rainy day today, so I'd really just like to crawl back in bed and call it a day, but duty calls. Hubby's car is in the shop for a quick repair so we car pooled to work today. It would probably make sense for us to do this more often, but we don't always work the same hours. We both kind of work until $h!t gets done, which can be late (or sometimes early) either way it's hard to plan around. We do only live 3 miles away, so our carbon footprint though double what it needs to be is still far less than most others.

    Only plans for tonight are finishing the laundry. If I'm feeling frisky, I may do a ride on the Peleton, but nobody really thinks that will happen...

    JFT Monday
    - Up by 7:00 :neutral:
    - Weigh :smiley: weight was up a tad, but yesterday I was a bit dehydrated form the ride Saturday.

    I love these craft or art festivals! I think Art Street is this coming weekend in Green Bay. I have missed it the past few years but sure hope to make it this weekend.

    You sure have some fun and rewarding sewing projects going! I finally finished Tim's lap quilt and have made putzy stuff like pot holders, along with quilt tops I've made but not finished. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quilted hears idea! I'm going to search for info on that. What an uplifting fun thing to do! I smile when I see painted rocks placed strategically around parks or on the pier by the lighthouses. You've given me food for thought! I think I will look for a quilting group in my community to see if they have any kind of donations I can sew for also. xxoo

    You've been definitely keeping busy! Good for you! I'm starting to find my groove...it's about time, right? Lost my job to Covid cutbacks in 2020 and just now after two years am done grieving the loss. Sounds silly, because it allowed me to retire early, but it wasn't ideal timing and not my plan so it took me awhile.

    GOOD LUCK with the PSA results today. I just said a prayer for you both! I know all too well the feelings this can bring up. :heart:
