    5) Use up bananas by baking muffins / use up apples by making crisp / some ta-da? minor but TA-DA! :smiley: good day
    6) Floss / retainers :smiley: / pray :smiley:

    JFT 10/15 Sat.

    2) Breakfast followed by coffee & daily devotions with hubby :smiley:
    3) Move hourly / walk dog

    5) Something on ta-da list ~ lots to choose from, just to something
    6) FLOSS / retainers / pray / alarm 7:15 (9:00 church)

    Weather went from late summer to late fall in less than one week. Need to switch clothes in closet from summer to winter. With wind 10mph, cloudy sky and temp currently at 40(F) [5C], I'm not feeling like walking dog but maybe this afternoon?
    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"

    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)

    • 9.30.22 leveling off, starting downwards again :)
    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 b/c I love train events)
    • 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

    • 9.1.22 not doing so great eating-wise
    • 9.30.22 leveling off, starting downwards again :)
    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 ~

    Recap 10/17 M ~ Today is birthday package at spa, courtesy of hubby. Not many hourly steps but who cares? LOL
    1) No dog walk due to cold & windy weather, so finally did PT exercises again ~ oof, I really need to do these on a regular basis! :smiley:
    2) Breakfast, coffee & daily devotions with hubby <3:smiley:
    3) Leftovers day / cheesecake & wine at spa / net cals reasonable / 64 oz. water :) All things considered, not too bad. Net cals -322 (est.), sodium decent, fiber & carbs good, protein ok, calcium LOW, 64 oz. water
    4) Any ta-da will be good = TA-DA! :smiley:
    5) Floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / pray :smiley:

    JFT 10/18 T ~ planned rest day
    1) Breakfast, coffee & daily devotions with hubby :smiley:
    2) Move hourly
    3) Make leek soup for supper / net calories zero / > 64 oz. water
    4) Refill bird feeders :) / call AICPA to update user ID & contact details (for some reason, not letting me do online) :) / make tire rotation appt. / make reservations for Nature of Light exhibit / wash dishes / any other ta-da?
    5) 7:30 choir rehearsal / respond to PW's email / call Mom & Dad
    6) Floss / retainers / pray

    I had to break a thin layer of ice on the bird bath! For the past week, we have been averaging at least 10 degrees below normal for daily highs, and cloudy skies. I miss the sun LOL. Right now temp is 37F (3C) with wind advisory until 7 p.m. with gusts up to 50 mph. Freaking the dog out. I will not be walking dog. But warmer days are ahead, we might reach 70F by Friday. Yay!

    About me:
    My name is Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    65 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
    • 9.30.22 leveling off, starting downwards again :)
    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

    Have been so long since I logged on here! Trying to read back ... and @cschmitz110515 .. congrats on your retirement!!! How wonderful, and by the beautiful walking pictures you are sending.. sounds like you are enjoying it!!
    @Bex -- how wonderful for you and Ash to join a gym!! I love going to the gym.. hubby tells me I go too much, but I find it a great way to start my day. I've met a lot of friends there because I tend to go the same time everyday .. at 8:15 .. .and the same people are there.
    I'll try and read back more and respond .. but I'm behind about 20 pages!!
    We have been busy clearing out stuff and getting rid of things.. lots of trips to goodwill, and lots of things I put on craigslist. We are finding tools sell really fast.. other things not so much. But its nice to get our "house" back after running a business for 26 years.
    My high school friends are coming into town tomorrow ... so I am looking forward to that! The leaves are starting to turn, so it will be pretty. Mostly they love to shop, so I'll take them to some cute unique places. Then next weekend Hubbys friend is visiting for a few days. I love having company .. something we rarely have.
    My weight has stayed the same, but my jeans and clothes fit so much better. Hubby says he can tell I'm toning up more by going to the gym. But I still want to get at least 15-20 pounds off. So I really need to be better at logging my food and getting on here to be accountable!
    So ... ha .. I'll start today, even though I know the next 3 days I'll again be MIA.
    JFT, 10/18
    1. log my food
    2. concentrate on protein and water!
    3. take benefiber supplement. Trying to do this. I tried metamucil.. but hate how gritty it is.This I can't even taste
    4. clean house
    5. clean grill and prep for grilling tomorrow nite
    6. go to grocery store ... grilling stuff, breakfast stuff, wine for when friends come
    7. wash sheets
    8. IF time .. cut back cannas... we had a HARD freeze last nite... which turned them brown. Hate that the growing season has ended. Next week its suppose to be back in the 80s. Crazy weather here!
