Today’s WHY- It makes me feel good3

Today’s WHY- Shrink the belly
Writing that feels very superficial after seeing what is happening with women in Iran.
This is not a political statement, but gratitude for being born in a country where this is my biggest concern for the day.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday.

No goals for me today - I’m just taking it easy. Did a breath test for SIBO this morning and it’s making me feel extremely nauseous. But maybe I’ll get some answers about what’s causing my stomach symptoms. Also meeting with a nutritionist on Tuesday to possibly start a low FODMAP diet to relieve symptoms of IBS which my doctor is pretty sure I have.
Been a long week. I want answers but at the same time I’m scared of what the answers will be.4 -
Goal for today
Eat at least 2 servings of fruit.2 -
My younger son is under the weather, so it’s a stay close to home and make sure he is taken care of kind of day. No big goals but will commit to no junk food.3

Asclepsia: I haven't been active on this site for several years. When I weighed in at the doctor's office yesterday, the weight was 167.6--I did have sandals on, but they don't weigh much. So, I'll try reporting in for support in diet control, and daily exercise. Hoping to cheer on everyone else, as well.

JFT
Didn’t log and ate reasonably well BUT did several hours of yard work and a little tree removal. Will be back on the wagon tomorrow.2 -
Did the reunion thing this past weekend. It was a bit of a let down as not many people from my class showed. Still had fun though. Went off plan eating wise, but didn't go crazy. Giving my weight a few days to normalize before I step on the scale and see the damage.
Photographer sent me a couple of sneak peaks from V's senior photo shoot. I LOVE them! I must say, my senior pictures looked nothing like these... I feel like she's a fashion model or something.
Nothing much planned for today other than getting back on plan, and I need to get started painting a project for my niece's baby shower on Oct. 9.

Retirement notice update: I'm old school, and I want to resign in person. Not by telephone or Teams or email. LOL if I emailed, our Admin Asst. would definitely read before our manager, if manager would even notice. Had planned to give my notice of retirement to my manager Friday, but last minute Thursday at noon, she put vacation time on the schedule for the rest of the day/week. Now it's Mon. and I had planned to give notice. But at 8:55 a.m. today, manager put "telecommute" on the schedule. (Our office hours start at 8 a.m.) I repeat: typical. The last Mon. she worked in the office was Aug. 15, and Aug-Sept on Fridays/Mondays, she was in the office only 2 times each. Geez, way to lead by example.About me: CarmelaWord for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship
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
- 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 b/c I love train events)
- watch for other events to add
- maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
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 done2 -
Today’s goal: get back on the wagon with healthy eating choices.
Why?: Because I deserve to be happy4 -

That is definitely not leading by example. I think old school is the right way to do it, but if she isn't there tomorrow, I'd Teams her...
