    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.

    @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

    Recap 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 :smiley: 13K 22 floors 10/14
    3) Healthy lunch choices at restaurant / supper maybe tortellini pesto salad / net calories zero / 80 oz. water :neutral: Not so bad, healthy lunch choices, but a few too many sweets during the day. Net cals -268, sodium HIGH (no surprise), fiber, carbs & protein ok, calcium low-ish, only 64 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) :smiley: our retreat day turned out pretty decent, even a$$t manager showed up for lunch (I had side bet with co-worker on whether she would), manager surprised us all by paying the restaurant tab so we were happy with that, and even painting pottery was kind of fun
    5) Some kind of ta-da in evening :smiley: digital decluttering, some finance stuff & misc
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / pray & Calm / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work) :smiley: much better

    JFT 8/31 W ~ forgot it's last day of month & didn't take monthly measurements... tomorrow a.m.
    1) Walked dog 3.49 mi before work :smiley: happy dog & happy me
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / pace in office during webinar
    3) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
    4) T31 audit / update, pdf, digital sign & submit month end PAR s/s / webinar 10-12 / complete webinar summary form, pdf & digital sign / request survey & Chat from John (blocked at workplace) / submit survey & print Chat for my files / don't let email backlog get bigger
    5) Leave work 5 min. early / hair appt 5:00 / prep lunch & clothes for workplace hike Th lunchtime / at least one ta-da
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / pray & Calm / alarm time? (monthly measurements! PT exercises? walk dog? remember oil change appt 8:30)

    Tried to attach photo of our painted pottery pieces. Seems to be at bottom of this post. My piece is lower right. Some co-workers painted messages on boards. Choosing to paint freeform maybe not the best idea... oops. Hopefully looks much better once fired & glazed. LOL
    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.

    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)
    • 9.1.22 not doing so great eating-wise
    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

    I seriously can't believe it's only Thursday. It has to at least be Friday. Well there is a football game on tonight that I want to watch, WVU vs Pitt. It's called the Backyard Brawl it goes back to the days when they were in the same conference, the Big East. I'm routing for my alma mater, WVU, but they haven't looked to good the past few seasons, so my hopes aren't high. Trying to decide if I'm going to have a beer this evening, as it is tradition. Of course, I think vodka may have fewer calories. Hmmm, food for thought.

    Was seriously busy today, and see no end at hand, so I'm just going to call it a day. It's kind of late for goals, but I'm going to post them anyway.
