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.

- 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)
- Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
- 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
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
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 done1 -

@mytime6630 So pleased to see you posting again. We missed you.2
-
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 😞3
-
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

Bike patrol went great probably got in close to 20 miles. Food was not exactly on point, but nothing major, just didn’t eat enough. Did give me a nice drop on the scale.. 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.3

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...

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.
