Goals for 1/4
- Log all food and water ✅
- Yoga ✅
- Crochet ✅
- Change sheets ✅
- Order brother’s birthday present ❌
Forgot about my brother’s gift - going to carry that goal over to tomorrow. Yoga was really challenging today but I still pushed through even when I had to do an easier modification of some of the poses. Need to focus on drinking more water! It’s been a struggle recently.
Daily gratitude: I’m thankful I can afford my mental health counseling. Apparently my insurance plan changed for 2023 and it’s no longer covered - last year I didn’t have to pay a dime. No way to change my plan either now that open enrollment is over. Bit of a frustrating surprise, but like I said I’m fortunate enough to still be able to afford it.
@PackerFanInGB I live in Virginia near the coast, so weather-wise we get a bit of everything. It was in the 60s when I took that picture, but by this weekend it’s supposed to be in the 30s and 40s.

Today was a great day!
Yesterday dieting went good.
It was tough at times. Got very sleepy and lethargic. I shoulda found more time for napping.
Today i made sure to rest when i got home around sundown.
Today i also made sure to keep on top of my points!
Sometimes i get so obsessed with keeping my consumption total low, that i forget its a *goal*, not a limit!
So when i realized i still had plenty of points left, i decided now was not an appropriate time to be cranky,
now was a time to eat! So i had some cereal and felt waaaay better. And i still have plenty of points and zero-point foods left.
Yesterday i barely hit my point goal, but i did.
I ended up eating a bunch before bed, and i'm unsure if it was out of anxiety or poorly spaced out meals.
Today tho, because of my morning study group, i got up bright and early and made sure i had a strong breakfast and timely lunch.
Hopefully i wont eat to much right before bed.
Yesterday i had a bit of a lazy day. But i finally watched the penultimate episode of a show i'm watching and really into. Soon i will watch the finale and i'm very excited. I dont watch much TV, so its a bit of a special thing for me when i watch a show *i* put on. I think i got some errands done too, but not many. But i did finally report all the spam callers ive been assaulted with lately! Its mainly one guy. I hope they catch him soon.
Today, despite having a decaf coffee, i got buzzed and talked the ear off my study partner at lunch. xD
But we had a great time. We hung out for two hours! Thats a lot for me. And i successfully ordered a dish that was easy to count for WW.
Tonight i'm about to get more studying done.
Since its raining hard i wont go shopping or weed; i can do that tomorrow.
Instead, if i have energy later, i'll look for my husband's ruby and vacuum and maybe finally handwash the dishes that cant be autowashed. And then maybe finish my show!
But if i dont have energy then i'll just study and talk to my friends online. Maybe go through my email or any computer errands.
@clicketykeys I miss Park Run! Mine's really far and hard to get to. But def doing it again when i can fit it into my schedule. Btw, whats your blog?
@pridesabtch I love naps too. I'm trying to take more of them. Sometimes i feel hungry when i'm really just tired / sleepy. Rest is good, i really undervalue it, and i shouldnt! I should enjoy resting. Resting is meant to be enjoyed. I'm getting better at it.
@PackerFanInGB Do you know anyone else who could go with you? I was always bad at going to the gym in college, but i had a friend who liked doing elliptical. She was bad at getting to the gym too, so we made a pact: if one of us texts the other "Thinking of going to the gym. Wanna come?" then the other HAS TO go. Okay, it wasnt really a pact.
I just felt bad if she wanted to go and i didnt, and visa versa! "Ugh..... okayyyy" But it was also fun to go with someone and talk and feel supported, ya know? You dont even have to go to the same gym. Just text each other each time one of you goes haha.
@BarbMessimer Wow! What a story.
Amazing.
@emgracewrites I was suprised how challenging yoga can be. I remember my sister did it a lot and she got really muscular and toned doing it... I dont do yoga anymore, but i incorporate a lot of what i learned into my daily stretching. Doing those kinds of calisthenics really make me feel limber and light throughout the week -- like shaving ten years off!

@Bex953172 - maybe you could tell her some coping strategies without the reason why?
@PackerFanInGB - Hi!!!
I have an 11 year old Grandson - Jonah and 7 year old (as of yesterday) Granddaughter - Michaela.
They grow so fast!
@cschmitz110515 - I wish I had learned to save. Part of the problem has been that for too many long periods I was the only one working. That’s always made us struggle. Here in Canada we don’t have to worry about Medicare, however we can’t get our government pension plans until 70 now.
@mytime6630 - it seems 3 years ago was such a great year for me too. I started participating in this group April 2018. It was when I got injured at Kaitlyn’s wedding and started this job that things started to go south. When Covid hit it set me back. I had gone up to my original highway weight. Only for a few days and I’ve managed to stay in the 100’s since but it’s not the 178 I was. For all of the reasons you mentioned I need to get back to it. I finally in January 2022 found someone to help my back and hips. I can still only walk for about 20 minutes but last January I couldn’t walk 5 without struggling so it’s progress. I’m set back a bit this week from taking Christmas down, but I am recovering faster so that helps.
I am hoping I can get outside walking again in the Soring. I’m not attempting it in the Winter, I am still not the steadiest on my feet.
@clicketykeys - I love when you tell stories about the teens. If I had my life to live over I would be a therapist of some kind that specialized in teens. They need so much support. When my girls were teens it was some of the best years.
@cgottschlich - I need to incorporate yoga into my life. At least I need to do my back exercises.
@mytime6630 and @PackerFanInGB - I wish you lived closer. My Mom embroidered as a hobby. When we cleaned her house I found enough quilt blocks she had made to make quilts for my brother and I and her 3 grandchildren. I had left them at a cousins house in hopes of finding someone in NB to quilt them. She never did, her sister was home this year and drove so she is bringing the blocks to me. I am thinking I can piece it, but I don’t quilt and don’t have room for it.
I am hoping to find someone here to do it for me. I even have the quilt templates my grandmother used so I think that would be a nice combination. My Grandmother passed in 2009 so all three of her great grandchildren remember her well.
On my 30th birthday that grandmother finished a quilt my other grandmother started for me but was unable to finish. It is one of my prized treasures.
Ok enough babbling. I need to go to bed.3 -

Weight down by 60 pounds and health completely restored. Able to walk, get up and down off the floor, have tons of energy. I plan on losing 40 pounds more but am content to go slowly. It's my good health I'm after and I have that now.
It's 1 o'clock and I've already prepared my big salad for later with avocado, a hard-boiled egg, tomato, cheese, bell pepper, celery and carrots. I'll shred the lettuce greens right before I'm ready to eat and mix everything in together with a Tbsp of my homemade salad dressing. A few hours later I'll have my hot meal: 4 oz Pork Tenderloin, steamed broccoli and sweet potatoes. Sparkling water (Selzer) to drink. Decaf unsweetened tea before bedtime.
My word for 2023 is ACCOUNTABILITY. I plan to calorie count on MFP (haven't been doing that) and weigh frequently (that works for me).
Wow congratulations you've come a long way! Just the sort of inspiration we need here!! Your meals today sound delicious, and so healthy! Welcome to the group!3 -

That's not a bad idea lol!
She really struggles to tidy up. She just sees the mess and is instantly overwhelmed. I know exactly how she feels. So I sit with her when she's tidying and tell her which bits to do. So like "just concentrate on picking up all the toys" then when she's done that I'll say "put the clothes in a pile and I'll sort through dirty and clean"
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If it doesnt, she comes to help me with things I have to do like loading the washing machine or cleaning the pots (she dries)
And we've got her lots of fidget toys and things to do.
Saskia let her on the laptop the other day playing games, she was on Roblox and my god it was funny. She's a proper mental gamer. Shouting at the laptop at the other players 😂😂
We have to be careful how much sugar she has, and artificial sweeteners because she can go nuts.
I like how she doesn't mask at home though, mean she feels safe to be herself here.
Homework I have to take her to a quieter place in the house but there's no guarantee she will sit long enough to do it lol. But she gives it a good go.

A little off topic. I have always had Fitbit watches. Thinking of getting an Apple Watch series 8. Does anyone have that has an opinion on them and fitness0

Just for today:
Drink my 64oz of water and stay within calorie goal3 -
This morning my work began their biggest loser Challenge. I participated in it last year so it was exciting to see that my last weigh in vs todays weigh in I did not gain. I was 3 lbs less then where I left off. I was pretty excited about that however I should be a lot further in my journey. I am only down 20 lbs. So todays goals:
No added sugar
black coffee and water only
no bread
stay in my allowed calories5 -

Well, I generally had a pretty lazy day yesterday it appears. I spent so much time reading and "planning for success" that I didn't actually get off my rear-end and do anything to BE successful! I'm up earlier today so I will turn the procrastination around today! I'm keeping my same goals as yesterday...some of them because I want them to be habits, and some of them because I didn't do them yesterday! lol
@BarbMessimer Welcome! Happy to have you join us!

Congratulations on taking back your health! I am 62 years old and I have been trying to go more whole food plant based in an effort to reverse some health issues and get healthy but it has been a terrible struggle--especially the cheese! Perhaps if I started with whole food in general... Hmmmm. You've got me thinking! Energy, brain fog, joint pain (especially getting up and off the floor), heart damage from chemotherapy and history of stage III breast cancer are my Why's.

@Snowflake1968 Oh my gosh, that's right! Jonah! I mixed you up with a different friend who has two grandgirls. He's 11 years old! Goodness, times goes by quickly. Michaela is still just as adorable as ever! Also, that is SO cool that you have the quilt blocks your grandmother made! I'm a very sentimental person so having something like that would mean the world to me. I suck at sewing, but I'm learning! YouTube has been a very good friend to me...
@cgottschlich That's a good idea...having someone to text and prompt to go to the gym. My daughter-in-law recently began going to the gym. Perhaps I should ask her to text me once a week and ask me if I've gone yet? I'll have to think about that.
@mytime6630 Your post is EXACTLY what I needed to read today. Health and strength are the bottom line biggest most important reason I want to do this. Of course, I'd like to wear cuter clothes and all the things too, but the real reason for wanting to lose weight is for HEALTH! I want to be active, strong, healthy and live independently for as long as I possibly can. I want to have adventures now that I'm retired! And I know this is my reason and so important and I write about it all the time in my journal, but it's funny how when you read it in someone else's words it just hits home so much harder. BAM! 💥 It's hard to get that strength back once you lose it. Prevention is the key. Thank you for posting this. I'm going to print your words off and read them often. I hope you don't mind!
@renaegry I had FitBits but switched to an Apple watch about 3 years ago because my work partially reimbursed me for it. I really like it! However, I don't plan to replace it when it no longer works, because I'm retired now and on a smaller income. But I will miss it. It has so much functionality. Of course, the FitBits I had were bare-bones, used only for measuring my sleep and steps (that's all I really wanted them for at that time), so maybe they have all the same functionality as the Apple watch does now? I've gotten used to having my text messages and phone apps available on my wrist... Oy. Technology. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
@Bex953172 I never realized how many ADHD tendencies I have until I retired! Without the structure of an actual calendar schedule of meetings and project timelines, I find myself in a constant state of overwhelm, getting absolutely NOTHING done most times because I don't know where to start so I just don't. I just realized that I need the structure and I've started making lists of what I need to do and breaking it down into small doable steps which takes the overwhelm "where do I begin" scrambled thoughts down a notch in my head. Perhaps you could write on a whiteboard the things she needs to do and break it into baby steps she can easily check off as she goes? Like have a heading of
Clean Room
#1) Pick up toys
#2) Put clothes in a pile
#3) Put books on bookshelf
Let her check them off as she does them and give her a smile or sticker on the days she does it... then at the end of the week have some kind of reward system? 5 days of Smiley faces gets her a special treat, 7 days gets her one-on-one time with mom, or whatever she would see as a reward? It might help her to make it into a habit and eventually she won't need the chart...

5# Challenge ~ according to my "official" Sat. weigh-ins:Dec. 31 = 177

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.

- Try new recipes now that I have the time
- Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
- Continue PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor

- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps

@bex953172 - @PackerFanInGB has a great suggestion. I read that one of the reasons so many women suffer worse after school is because of the lack of structure.
Worth a try anyway
One thing that I failed at all last year was posting on Thursday’s because of ceramics. Then it was Friday and I wouldn’t get back to it until Sunday. I am going to post BEFORE I go to ceramics and see if that helps me stay on track.
I also was finding not taking the time to respond to people was making me feel bad, so I would stop. Hopefully I can keep it up this year. I know JFT works!2 -
Ha .. 2023 is not my year so far.
was Slicing potatoes for Scallopped potatoes and Ham casserole .. I knew I should have used the potato holder ... but i didn't! Took a huge slice out of my finger! Luckly it was not the tip..and not near my knuckle so a bandaid stays on .. but bleeding so much. I have a thick layer of gauze and 2 bandages .. changed it twice. but going to just leave it alone tonite and wait till tomorrow .. even though its soaked again. Ha.. hard to type with one hand, so not responding to much tonite.
I was super tired .. could mot sleep last nite.. just not thinking!

I have 2 grown children, have been married to my husband for 46 years; love to garden, love to walk and exercise, and love to sew.My word of the year for 2023: Transformation.

18. To learn how to plan meals and snacks better.
19. To listen to podcasts and watch youtubers.. improve my way of thinking about food

Michaela is still just as adorable as ever! Also, that is SO cool that you have the quilt blocks your grandmother made! I'm a very sentimental person so having something like that would mean the world to me. I suck at sewing, but I'm learning! YouTube has been a very good friend to me...
@cgottschlich That's a good idea...having someone to text and prompt to go to the gym. My daughter-in-law recently began going to the gym. Perhaps I should ask her to text me once a week and ask me if I've gone yet? I'll have to think about that.
@mytime6630 Your post is EXACTLY what I needed to read today. Health and strength are the bottom line biggest most important reason I want to do this. Of course, I'd like to wear cuter clothes and all the things too, but the real reason for wanting to lose weight is for HEALTH! I want to be active, strong, healthy and live independently for as long as I possibly can. I want to have adventures now that I'm retired! And I know this is my reason and so important and I write about it all the time in my journal, but it's funny how when you read it in someone else's words it just hits home so much harder. BAM! 💥 It's hard to get that strength back once you lose it. Prevention is the key. Thank you for posting this. I'm going to print your words off and read them often. I hope you don't mind!
@renaegry I had FitBits but switched to an Apple watch about 3 years ago because my work partially reimbursed me for it. I really like it! However, I don't plan to replace it when it no longer works, because I'm retired now and on a smaller income. But I will miss it. It has so much functionality. Of course, the FitBits I had were bare-bones, used only for measuring my sleep and steps (that's all I really wanted them for at that time), so maybe they have all the same functionality as the Apple watch does now? I've gotten used to having my text messages and phone apps available on my wrist... Oy. Technology. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
@Bex953172 I never realized how many ADHD tendencies I have until I retired! Without the structure of an actual calendar schedule of meetings and project timelines, I find myself in a constant state of overwhelm, getting absolutely NOTHING done most times because I don't know where to start so I just don't. I just realized that I need the structure and I've started making lists of what I need to do and breaking it down into small doable steps which takes the overwhelm "where do I begin" scrambled thoughts down a notch in my head. Perhaps you could write on a whiteboard the things she needs to do and break it into baby steps she can easily check off as she goes? Like have a heading of
Clean Room
#1) Pick up toys
#2) Put clothes in a pile
#3) Put books on bookshelf
Let her check them off as she does them and give her a smile or sticker on the days she does it... then at the end of the week have some kind of reward system? 5 days of Smiley faces gets her a special treat, 7 days gets her one-on-one time with mom, or whatever she would see as a reward? It might help her to make it into a habit and eventually she won't need the chart...
Not gonna lie, from reading your posts, I had wondered 😂 sometimes I think oh that sounds familiar. You do seem to have quite alot of tendencies.
With me I NEED routine. But I hate routine.
My "routines" don't ever last longer than about a couple of weeks. If that. Might last longer if I feel it's important.
I do need to tell my drs tbh. I mean since I was 15 they couldnt understand why I never took my thyroid meds. And I just forget. Simple as that. I forget. And I couldn't even explain to them why
They were just like "set alarms" so I did, I'd read the alarm and be like "right yes I'll take my meds in a min". Gone.
My best approach is leave them out where I can see them
Out of sight is LITERALLY out of mind.
But it's not foolproof. I do forget still.
Ash can ask me for a drink and by the time I've got down stairs which is around 12 steps, I've forgot. 😂😂
I honestly don't know how I'm functioning sometimes
Sometimes it sounds fun and quirky to have but it's actually really bloody hard to even do the simplest of tasks. Which is so frustrating.

Didn't post goals yesterday, but it was a good day. I took my mom and my aunt to my great-aunt's funeral. Connie used to watch me when I was young, so we had been pretty close, but I hadn't seen her in about 20 years. I spoke with her son a couple of months ago and found out she was healthy and happy, but suffering from Alzheimer's. She was 87. Though the circumstances were not great, I got to reconnect with family I hadn't seen since I was a kid. It was fun to see the families that have grown.
I got home from the funeral around 2:30, started some laundry and took a glorious nap. Y'all know I love my naps. Woke up when the kiddo got home and talked to her a bit, then she too went to take a nap. I stayed up, but enjoyed the quiet time. Eventually Tim came in and we went out for dinner and trivia. I had a couple of drinks, but kept the calorie count in a good place. Plus we won at trivia which is always fun. Still got home by 9:00pm. Kiddo got home at 10:30 from theater practice, then we talked for nearly an hour and a half. She and I talk often, but she and her dad don't. Last night it was all three of us and it was good conversation. No arguing. No criticism. Just conversation. It was worth staying up late.
This morning was a bit of a mess. I woke up at 6:45, and remembered that I had a 7:00 meeting. Luckily I had my computer at home or there would have been zero possibility of making this meeting. There were only 3 of in the meeting so it would have been super noticeable. Oops...
Tonight, I plan to stay in and finally take the indoor Christmas decorations down and get my living room back. I will miss the festive atmosphere, but it will be nice to ditch the pine needles and have a crisp clean room again.

That's not a bad idea lol!
She really struggles to tidy up. She just sees the mess and is instantly overwhelmed. I know exactly how she feels. So I sit with her when she's tidying and tell her which bits to do. So like "just concentrate on picking up all the toys" then when she's done that I'll say "put the clothes in a pile and I'll sort through dirty and clean"
@Bex953172 - My youngest is the same way. It has gotten to the point that I have in general given up. I used to help her in a similar manner to how you help, but now that she is older she doesn't want my help. For Christmas, she cleaned it for me, but it's already out of hand again. Part of it is that she is very busy, but part of it is that she is too distracted and then too overwhelmed to deal with it. I just don't know how to help her. I wasn't that different as a kid, my mom was just meaner about having me pick up. It wasn't until I was in college and had a roommate that I finally started living a little less cluttered lifestyle. Then when I got married it got a little better. Then I had kids and I got down right obsessive about cleanliness and order. Now I think I'm regressing a bit, and letting things be a little less "perfect", still clean though and mostly picked up.
As for homework, V is relatively self motivated by grades. She does at times get overwhelmed by the magnitude and difficulty of assignments, but her larger issue is becoming fixated on one thing at the detriment of others. For instance she has a large project due for AP English and she it consumed by making it perfect. In doing this, she has been letting work slip in other classes. It's a hard balance for her to keep.
All in all, I try to keep her aware of things that need done, so she doesn't completely lose sight of the end game. Of course, then she feels like I'm nagging. Parenting is tough...Snowflake1968 wrote: »
I also was finding not taking the time to respond to people was making me feel bad, so I would stop. Hopefully I can keep it up this year. I know JFT works!
@Snowflake1968 I find that I don't always comment like I used to either, but I don't feel bad about it. Folks on here are all busy living their lives and understand. The only time I actually look for a response from folks is if I ask a question or for advise. In those cases folks that can comment do, but I don't expect everyone to. Give yourself some grace.
And I am really glad to see you participating again. I was a little worried about you last year as I know you were very stressed out with work before you stopped posting. I'm happy you are well.2 -

So glad you had a great day! I'm very grateful to have a number of lovely walking areas not too far from my house. The closest park is within walking distance, but I'm partial to one that is a little further away (about a ten-minute drive) that has a path loop that's a little longer ... plus it has more Pokéstops to spin! It's also very popular with people who want to walk their dogs, so I get to see lots of puppy friends running around, and apparently good for flying kites.
My blog is one that has some reflections about teaching; I use my legal name there, not my pseudonym, so I don't tend to cross over, though.2 -

@snowflake1968 Please don't feel bad if you don't have time to comment. I'd like to comment but don't always know what to say and I don't want to spend too much time on my computer. Like @pridesabtch said, we're all busy living our lives. I, too, worried about you when you weren't posting JFT. Happy to see you back!

I got response from MapMy support, not particularly helpful in that they never addressed my very specific question. The link sent to more instructions was the exact same stuff I had read on the website before I contacted them. I tried again this morning to link my Fitbit to MapMy app, but no luck. Then I noticed I received a challenge progress badge for my distance so far, only two days late. Apparently MapMy updated my challenges for my manually logged treadmill, just like in past years. So maybe it was their app issue, not mine. Yay!
5# Challenge ~ according to my "official" Sat. weigh-ins:Dec. 31 = 177

- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps
