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

Goals for Wednes, 11/23
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. go to gym or walk Did both gym in the morning, then got in a 3 mile walk .. 61 degrees out today!
4. clean house
5. laundry
6. prep for thanksgiving .. pumpkin pie, prep brocolli casserole, make ambrosia fruite salad, make pistachio salad
7. Only ONE snack in the evening .. protein shake, apple, or frozen grapes.
I made some homemade cinnamon muffins .. all using low calorie ingredients, so they were low calorie. Only problem is that tonite I ate THREE of these .. adding about 500 more calories to a day where already I was over because of sampling salads, and having bratwurst.
But ... I will be accountable, and log everything, and do better tomorrow.
Good thing was that I got in both the gym and a 4 mile walk today!
Happy thanksgiving everyone!
JFt, Thurs, 11/24
1. log all food

3. don't stuff myself, but enjoy the day

@pridesabtch Yikes, so glad that both drivers were unhurt! Yes, thankful for so many blessings.
Yesterday being Thanksgiving Day (US), hubby & I were at my sister's with most of extended family. Safe travels by car to & fro, but 6 hours total = ugh! I did not take time for dog walk before we left town for the day. I tried to limit food portions and did really well limiting desserts. Had 2 glasses of wine, since it was hubby's turn to drive on our way home. All in all, a wonderful day.
Tomorrow, we have another "Thanksgiving" celebration & meal at hubby's brother's with different extended family. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Will be less total car time at just under 2 hours, and maybe I'll do PT exercises before we go. Not logging food either of those days. No adult beverages tomorrow *sigh*.

Didn't get on here last nite, but a busy day today. Dug out all 3 xmas trees.. all decorated, and other decorations all put up. The house is a mess.. so tomorrow will clean, but everything put in its place, and the leftover decorations put away. Feels good to have this done.
Yesterday was thanksgiving, and our daughter came out.. it was very nice.
But .. our son never called or anything. We tried to call him.. left him a message.. but he still did not call. It hurts .. he is so busy with his new wife and family.. just no time for us. I do worry about how happy he really is. His wife posted pictures on facebook of their thanksgiving, and she was not even standing near my son for the pictures.. she was standing next to her brother. My son just looked so unhappy.. and then I worry. While upset that he can't even call us, more worried about his happiness.
Yesterday was also the 10th anniversary of my brother taking his life .. he committed suicide on thanksgiving day. Its a painful reminder every year.
So kinda a downer yesterday, both for my husband and I.
But .. we still have so very much to be thankful for, and will dwell on that, not the negatives.
Goals for tomorrow, saturday, 11/26
1. go to the gym
2. log all food .. no matter what
3. plan meals .. tomorrow nite, taco bake
4. concentrate on water
5. evening snack .. ONLY a apple, protein shake, or frozen grapes. NO NUTS OR RAISINS
6. clean house
7. laundry
8. go for a walk.
9. weigh in .. no matter what.

Hoir commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow.1

@pridesabtch I'm so so so glad that no one was hurt. God I'm sure you've had a lot of crashes this year. Was your daughter in one too or am I thinking of someone else? Not to mention the deer!1

Still not got anywhere with exercise eating or logging. Still not even weighed in. Ash has been poorly with tonsillitis we think so he's bed bound at the moment. Marley and Saskia had nits last week and I've just bought another treatment for Casey and myself.
Casey had them the worse. Which is weird because despite me checking and checking I didn't see not one in her hair but combed out loads.
And I've been itchy as hell (but also have dandruff which I need to buy a stronger treatment for as shampoos aren't working) so I've just done my treatment which was hard because it's easier to do someone else. And my hairs thick and tangles if you so much as look at it. Anyway I've just spent about 45 minutes combing for literally ONE nit. Just one.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's just the one but what a waste of treatment! I had to use a whole bottle for my hair. Which can normally do 2 treatments. So atoeast I know my itchiness is definitely caused by the dandruff.
So yeah. Other than trying to keep on top of the house whilst ash has been poorly, hoping to get back on it next week. Even if I'm not eating 100% healthy I'm gonna log.
Don't know about anyone else but since it got much colder my eating habits changed drastically. Everything I was eating in summer I just don't fancy anymore. I want warm wintery foods. Which are generally higher in calories, so I'll just have to combat that with exercise
I don't snack as much as I used to though.. atleast i don't think I do.
Hope all my US friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving xxx4 -

@pridesabtch I'm so so so glad that no one was hurt. God I'm sure you've had a lot of crashes this year. Was your daughter in one too or am I thinking of someone else? Not to mention the deer!
Actually my husband has hit a deer a few months ago. He had just gotten it fixed a few weeks ago, then BAM!
He isn’t very lucky when it comes to cars. Although, I think he tends to drive too fast, that wasn’t the case in his last accident.

Goals for Monday
- yoga
- 40 oz of water
- Log all food
I haven’t done very well today, so I’m trying to make tomorrow a new start (another one…how many times have I said that before?).
I had good intentions today but my messed-up digestive system had other plans. I thought things were getting better, but then a day like today happens and I lose hope that I’m ever going to find an answer as to what’s causing the problem. I’m only 31, and I’ve been dealing with these problems off and on since high school. I don’t want to live the rest of my life not knowing on a daily basis what my stomach is going to be able to handle. But at this point I’m scared that’s what’s going to happen.
Maybe I’ll be in a better mood when I wake up tomorrow, but for tonight I’m going to escape into a fantasy book for a little while and try and get my mind in a better place.4 -
