    Hi, all my JFTers! Back from my vacation week and no MFP. I missed 5 pages of JFT, which I'll have to read later. Hope everyone is well. For now, posting daily goals again...

    JFT 8/29 M ~ Very warm & humid (glass covered in moisture on outside windows due to AC on in house) so no dog walk before returning to work. Sad dog & sad me.
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley: happy me (though I need to do more often than every 7-10 days)
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    3) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
    4) Catch up email backlog from vacation / T31 audit / update weekly PRO, PAR, HW s/s's for current week
    5) Massage appt 6:00 yay / any ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / pray & Calm / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)

    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
    • 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
    • maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
    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

    Have a blessed day y’all!

    Yesterday was a bit of a cluster, I decided to sleep in and miss Sunday School, but attend church. Got up showered, put on a dress I couldn't wear 3 months ago and it fit perfectly (YAY!), went out to go to church and my battery was DEAD... Change of plans. Hubby came home, jumped car, we got a new battery then he said I looked pretty so he took me out to lunch. Came home, decided to nap before I mowed because it was hot outside. Then I got up and decided I didn't want to mow. I called a neighbor kid who handed out flyers last week and paid them to mow. I looked out later and one of my adult neighbors was helping her because my yard is a *kitten* to mow. She got the front done and will finish the back today (only 1/3 left to mow). I kind of feel bad for her, it really is tough. Her flyer said $10, I told her I'd pay $10/hour.

    So basically, I did nothing yesterday other than shower and try to look nice.

    Had a hard time getting out of bed this morning, but I did eventually make it to work. I brushed my teeth, but hair and makeup are left over from yesterday. Yep low, low maintenance some days. Gotta do laundry stuff this evening.

    JFT Monday
    - Up by 7:00 :(
    - Weigh :smiley:
    - Work by 8:00 :(
    - Meetings ALL. DAY. LONG. (actually in a Teams Meeting now)

    - Log food
    - Laundry stuff
    - Dinner Stuff
    - Bed by 10:00

    Goals for 8/29
    - minimum 32 oz of water
    - Cook new recipe for dinner
    - minimum 1400 calories
    - Yoga
    - Job hunt
    - Write!

    Ummm… yeah… only yoga happened today out of this list of goals. Work was kind of a train wreck in the afternoon and I only got about four hours of sleep last night so didn’t feel like cooking or writing or looking for a new job. Off to bed with me so I can wake up early tomorrow and do it all over again (only hopefully better).

    All the same goals for tomorrow (too lazy to type them out)

    I can't remember all the posts I wanted to comment on. But here's a few...

    @mytime6630 (((HUGS))) and prayers for you, hubby & daughter.
    @clicketykeys Sorry you didn't get the part. (((hugs)))
    @beachwalker99 @TerriRichardson112 You both inspire me with your practical approaches to your lifestyle and daily habits!
    @PackerFanInGB Happy you are posting JFT again, and sounds like you're in a great place in your life!

    Recap 8/29 M ~ Very warm & humid (glass covered in moisture on outside windows due to AC on in house) so no dog walk before returning to work. Sad dog & sad me.
    1) PT exercises before work :smiley: happy me (though I need to do more often than every 7-10 days)
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks :neutral: 5.9K 15 floors 12/14
    3) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water :neutral: leftovers for supper, net cals -336, sodium red but not horrible, fiber & carbs excellent, protein low-ish, calcium ok, 96 oz. water
    4) Catch up email backlog from vacation ~ meh sort of, got the important ones read / T31 audit / update weekly PRO, PAR, HW s/s's for current week
    5) Massage appt 6:00 yay / any ta-da? Medicare card arrived! Does this mean I'm officially an old fart? Contacted Tim for next steps.
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / pray & Calm / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work) :s ack

    JFT 8/30 T ~ Cooler temps, much less humidity = Yay!
    1) Walked dog 3.68 mi before work, saw 1 bunny & same doe with her 2 fawns, even closer this time :smiley: happy me & happy dog
    2) Move hourly ~ not sure how this will happen in afternoon
    3) Healthy lunch choices at restaurant / supper maybe tortellini pesto salad / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
    4) T31 audit / print slides for W webinar / register for lunchtime Sept hikes / be pleasant to all co-workers during dept "retreat" lunch & project (we are painting pottery, based on 3/9 vote woohoo)

    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
    • 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
    • maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
    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

    Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was pretty quiet. We went to Art Street on Saturday but we didn't get through all the booths because it began to rain. I was pretty happy my husband and I brought umbrellas with us! LOL So many cool things. I always wish I had lots of $$ when I go. So many talented artists from all areas of the art world.

    Sunday and Monday I woke up with some muscle aching so pretty much just took care of myself by not pushing it. Today is better. I think maybe the weather changes trigger the fibromyalgia? I know it triggers arthritis, so maybe it's kind of the same? Perhaps I need to move to Arizona where it's a dry heat! LOL Of course, I'd have to leave my husband and kids behind so that's not likely to happen! :wink:

    I did lose 1 lb last week. I wasn't following my planned foods exactly, but I was paying attention to whether I was actually hungry or whether I was giving into urges due to boredom. I have really been trying to be cognizant of when I eat...whether I'm actually hungry and feeding my body, or whether I am eating for entertainment or emotions. I will never lose weight if I eat for entertainment!

    @Bex953172 I am SO sorry to hear about your MIL's progression. I remember when you told me it had returned. I will keep her in my prayers. (((BEX)))

    @cschmitz110515 How many weeks until you retire and are permanently on vacation? Has the countdown begun? :smiley:

    @pridesabtch YAY for 150's! YAY for dresses fitting! And YAY for husband's noticing! :heart:

    @azulvioleta6 Two weeks until your trip?! Wow that went by quick! How exciting! πŸ’ƒ πŸ‘

    @clicketykeys I'm sorry you didn't get the part! :flowerforyou:

    Just for Tuesday, 8/30:
    1. 24H Plan and Assess
    2. 64 oz water
    3. Close Activity Rings on my watch
    4. Pay attention to physical signs of hunger.
    5. Sew Block #3 of the Quilt Along.
    6. Home Care: Floors. Declutter top of desk. Bills/Budget. Laundry.
    7. Reflection Time
    8. Evening Routine

    @cschmitz110515 How many weeks until you retire and are permanently on vacation? Has the countdown begun? :smiley:

    @pridesabtch YAY for 150's! YAY for dresses fitting! And YAY for husband's noticing! :heart:

    @PackerFanInGB We went to Art Street on Friday afternoon (I had the week off work). Weather was sunny & great and we anticipated crowds smaller than on weekend, but didn't figure on rain Sat & Sun. We haven't gone for a few years, as we usually would go to Door County for the week of our wedding anniversary, but didn't this year. I told hubby I wouldn't buy anything, then 10 minutes later bought something. Only a pair of earrings, so not too expensive. I still have prints & other items from past years that need to be framed! At least I'm helping to support the artists.

    Countdown started looonng time ago, due to some work-related stress. I love what I do, and am good at it. Always hoped I could work until my full retirement age (66 1/2). But idiot management makes working that long untenable for me. Plus my employer requires all employees to be enrolled in Medicare by their 65th birthday for insurance purposes. So fairly easy choice. I have an app called Final Countdown, down to 38 calendar days. Could tell you the milleseconds, too, hahaha. The Friday before my birthday is my planned last day. Only two very close co-workers are aware, and it will stay that way until I give my notice. LOL

    @pridesabtch Ditto what Traci said above. Wonderful that you've reached a new decade, for clothes fitting and, best of all, attentive hubby!

    Didn’t do so well with my goals yesterday. Work stress is getting to me again, which sucks because I signed up for a bunch of live writing webinars this week and I’m too drained by the end of the day to even log in and absorb any new info. I can still watch the replays and get the information that way but it’s not the same as doing it live.

    Hoping to turn things around today.

    Goals for 8/31
    - meet calorie goal (1300)
    - Meet work goals (2 meetings, 5 items off my to-do list)
    - Write
    - Update resume and post on LinkedIn
    - Apply for craft shows
    - Strength training
    - Yoga
    - Watch one writing webinar

    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
    • 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
    • maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
    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

    The goals were really Monday's goals, but they were the same for Tuesday. Another day of audits today, but less focused on me, and I feel better today. Really have to mow this evening. The little girl I hired never got around to the back yard, and it is BAD. She really wasn't prepared for the rigor of mowing it. I'm not either, but I'm sturdier than she is.

    Hubby will be home late today, so dinner is on me. Luckily, I'm having a big lunch at work today, so dinner needn't be big or fancy.
