Okay, trying again now the kids are back in school!
I've pulled my neck muscles so exercise is out for the time being.
JFT Tues 1 Nov
- Log all food
- Minimum of 6 waters
- 10k steps
- Walk the dog
- DO NOT EAT JUNK FOOD
I had a food shop delivery today, didn't account for the fact I've still got 1kg of carrots from last week and a whole cucumber which are still fresh. So they can now be my bedtime snacks, atleast then I can snack in bed but it's healthy!

JFT Goals
- Work by 8:00
- Meetings until 9:00
- Issue a SCAR
- Do a practice vs procedure audit
- Mini Meals
- Healthy Dinner
- Dress up (or not)
- Give out candy
- Bed by 10:00pm
My goals weren't exactly big yesterday, but I got them done. Today I think I'll add logging food. Yesterday was work and trick or treat. I opted for dressing as a cat. The costume hubby bought me was rather slutty (lol) so I wore a blouse and a skirt over it. Made it family friendly. The evening started off very rainy, but after about 45 minutes the rain stopped. My cat even came over to help me hand out candy. She doesn't really like people, but the crowds were small due to the weather. Usually there are cars full of people who come to our neighborhood, but last night it was just the neighborhood kids plus a few extras.
I did eat some candy, but not a lot. Still a better day than I have had in a while. Giving myself this week to get the bloat down before I weigh in and see what the actual damage is.
Not sure if I'm going to a business dinner this evening or to Bible Study... The dinner is a team thing, and will probably be more fun, but I bailed on Bible Study last week. We'll see. Maybe I'll skip both and get my nails done...

Yesterday I enrolled in the monthly Step Activity program of my new health insurance plan. Thank heaven I did this on the last day of October b/c learned I must report my activity during the current month. Earned $10 rewards card by doing so! All I have to do is walk 7,500 steps per day on 10 days each month (or 45 minutes of physical activity 10 days). With dog walks & moving hourly, this should be easy for me. I am set up to sync with my tracker. Now, I just need to remember to log in at least monthly & submit lol.
About me:I'm CarmelaWord for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship
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
- 10.31.22 not pretty... I can't stand being this heavy again!
- 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)
- Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay) ~ 48:56 ave. pace 15:45 overall 202 of 296 not too shabby 9 days before I turned 65yo
- 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 trail 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 -

Current Solid Habits
👌🏻
i think that we all have a tendency to be too hard on ourselves, setting too many burdensome goals at once.
It’s a difficult path we tread on our quest for better health and fitness. It’s only natural that we occasionally stumble.
When this happens, we pick ourselves up and start over. We keep on striving for improvement. This is the true meaning of success.
Strive for progress!

Goals for 10/31
- 40 oz of water ❌
- Log all food ❌
- No grazing allowed ❌
- Yoga ✅
- One household chore ✅
- Finish editing WIP ❌
- Write - NaNo Day 1 ✅
- Job hunt 🤷♀️
High anxiety and low self-esteem really don’t mix well. Started grazing at about 9:30 am and continued pretty much all day. Most of my calories today probably came from crackers and chocolate - how gross is that?
Super high anxiety about this 9-day event starting tomorrow at work - I have to sound like an expert on a topic I’ve never felt like less of an expert on. And when I ask questions of the actual experts I get no response.
I know the answer is to just find a new job but if I can barely handle the one I currently have how am I good enough to jump to a whole new position and start from scratch?
I keep telling myself “one day at a time” but today was a really rough one.5 -

I keep telling myself “one day at a time” but today was a really rough one.
Sorry to hear how you're feeling. I hope you're okay xx
And it's not gross that your calories came from crackers and chocolate, some days are just like that! There's been many days I've not been proud of my eating habits! But if that's what got you through the day then so what?! Who cares what anyone else thinks! I'm certainly not judging you on that one!
I can see youve got low self esteem, by not feeling you're good enough for a new job, but what if you are? What if it's this job that's holding you down and a new job could let you flourish. Don't get me wrong, I get starting over again is the moat nerve wracking thing going but it doesn't have to be all bad.
I know your just venting and not looking for advice (remember you said your family were problem solvers) but have you tried looking for other jobs? I'm not saying you should apply but even just looking and seeing what's out there and one day you might come across one and think dya know what.. F it. Im going for it!
I hope your 9-day event goes well. And if you don't know the answer to something, don't stress over it, you can't help what you don't know and if you're not getting help from the actual experts then just try your best, that's all you can do! But good luck all the same and keep your head held high. Don't let's things bring you down!
Sorry for my essay, you can by all means disregard what I've said as I am just someone from the internet. But I like to try help or just be a listening ear if I can.
It's just I've been where you are, maybe in a different way but your feelings resonate with me xx3 -

Okay, trying again now the kids are back in school!
I've pulled my neck muscles so exercise is out for the time being.
JFT Tues 1 Nov
- Log all food ✔️
- Minimum of 6 waters ✔️
- 10k steps✔️
- Walk the dog✔️
- DO NOT EAT JUNK FOOD✔️
My Why: To feel more confident in my own skin
Completely forgot to post goals today but smashed it yesterday! Didn't eat any junk food at all I just about got enough waters in, was aiming for 8 but 6 is my minimum so happy with that too. And the steps.. I did 18,000, nearly 2 days worth.
As for today my goals would have been pretty much the same, might aswell post them now and mark them off with it being so late in the day.
- Log all food ✔️
- 6 minimum waters (still in progress)
- walk the dog ✔️
- no junk food! ❌ Okay so we had pizzas. But I skipped breakfast so it fits in my calories.
- 10k steps ✔️
So another good day, one cross but it doesn't matter too much because the junk fit in. I just need to make sure any snacks I have from now until sleep are healthy ones!!
Mental note to self.. "I'm doing well.. don't F it up now" 😂

So I decided to go to the dinner last night, then I decided to meet up with an old colleague and have a few more drinks. That turned into playing pool and doing shots. Which meant I had to call the hubby to drive my drunk *kitten* home. Oh well, it was fun anyway. Until this morning at least. I was a bit rough this morning, and I was reminded why I don't drink liquor. Shots are bad. Beer before liquor, never sicker...
Tim had a follow up visit with his shoulder surgeon today and is now cleared to go back to work, drive, start PT and sleep without the sling. All great news
No goals today other than to stay awake at work.4 -

i think that we all have a tendency to be too hard on ourselves, setting too many burdensome goals at once.
It’s a difficult path we tread on our quest for better health and fitness. It’s only natural that we occasionally stumble.
When this happens, we pick ourselves up and start over. We keep on striving for improvement. This is the true meaning of success.
Strive for progress!

No goals today other than to stay awake at work.
Made my goal of staying awake at work. Seriously though, I got a fair amount done at work yesterday all things considered. I totally crashed when I got home, took a nap got up ate a sandwich and then went to bed. One good night of overdoing it steals the whole next day from you... Really don't what to be at work today. I don't have anything better to do, I just don't want to be here. Just burned out I guess after the last few months.

JFT 11/3 R
1) Walked dog 3.59 mi on another gorgeous weather day happy dog & happy me...
2) Breakfast, coffee & daily devotions with hubby
3) Move hourly
4) Supper? / net calories zero / >64 oz. water
5) Fall yardwork: drain both rain barrels (70 gallon jugs in basement yay) & put by shed, put rest of patio stuff in shed, refill birdfeeders / reschedule dentist (funny, I'm retired now but had scheduling conflict come up lol) / put away clean dishes / finish thank you to SW / email aunt J / write short letter to El / CPS-3 survey / finalize grocery list for tomorrow / another ta-da?
6) Floss / retainers / pray
Yesterday I reached the 600km milestone in the annual walking challenge & got my "half-way there" message. It didn't phase me that I'm only half-way this year, when other years I've already completed the entire distance before now. I guess that's what knee pain, overuse injury and physical therapy has taught me, to be patient & grateful for what I accomplish. Happy me!
Past few days we have had record temps and sunny blue skies. Our normal high this date is 50°F (10C) and we've been over 20 above that! Hubby and I are taking advantage and doing lots of fall yardwork. Glad the city is in our neighborhood today doing leaf collection, before we get rain tomorrow. Photo of me in front of our leaves curbside. If you look closely, dog is in narrow window to right of front door, wondering why she can't be out there with us. LOL

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)

- 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

- Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay) ~ 48:56 ave. pace 15:45 overall 202 of 296 not too shabby 9 days before I turned 65yo
- 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 trail events)
- 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 done2 -

Hello everyone! It's been forty pages, but I'm back! I had a big slump, and a health scare, and some attitude issues, but I am back on the self improvement track. Starting from where I am, in my tight pants.
So JFT,
I am done eating for Thursday. I've had plenty of calories. No cookies tonight.
I will do twenty reps of my dumbbell routine tonight.
That will put me under my calorie limit for the day.
And that's enough. A little better eating, a little more exercise, and that will start me back on track. Yay!

Work was good yesterday, and it was good food wise until we went out for dinner. Then I had a burger and fries. We played trivia and won, but just barely. Got home at a reasonable hour. Went to bed early, but still got up late. I'm just dog tired in the mornings for some reason.
Not feeling great today. Not sure what's wrong, I just feel off. Wish I had worked from home today... I may take a half day and get some bike therapy. It is supposed to be near 75 and sunny today.
