    5-pound challenge!
    SW, Jan 1st 207.6

    Weekly weigh-in... I will weigh myself every Sunday. I choose that day because it will help me over the weekends, which is usually my worse time.

    **********************
    A little about me:
    My name is Joan, I will be 72 years old this summer. I am very tall, 5'11", and hope to lose 25-30 pounds. 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 weight history:
    SW Year 2017: 220-217
    SW Year 2018: 195.5
    SW Year 2019 : 206 -- met my goal weight of 178 on December, 2019
    SW Year 2020: 182.6 -- gained 15 pounds through the pandemic
    SW Year 2021: 195
    SW Year 2022: 190 - reached 182 in August. But weight on a slow increase the rest of
    2037. SW Year 2023: 207.8

    December: learn to maintain 170
    Personal Goals
    16. To have a better relationship with food. To not think I have to be perfect, and to realize that if I have a bad day .. that is OK. Get right back on track. To give it 80/20 --- meaning if I can stay on track 80% of the time, that is OK. It does not have to be 100%
    17. To keep exercising, and do more strength training
    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

    21. To declutter our house.. keep only what I use!
    My word of the year for 2023: Transformation. I want to "transform" my thoughts about my food relationship. I want to transform my body in how I feel and move.

    5# Challenge ~ according to my "official" Sat. weigh-ins:

    About me:
    I'm Carmela
    This is my lifestyle. It's. Not. A. Diet.
    Height 5'4"
    65 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2023 Goals:
    1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be satisfied if I can get back down to 160# this year
    • Post weekly weigh-in on MFP 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.
    • Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    • Try new recipes now that I have the time
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x)
    • 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
    4) MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,023km challenge started on Jan. 1
    • In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km. Not the full challenge, but with knee issues early in year, I was happy to get this far.
    5) At least 7,500 steps per day
    • I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps
    6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
    • register for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ I had to cancel in 2022 due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised)
    • register for Bellin 10K on 6.10.23 ~ 2022 first time in person since 2019 & not as large of turnout, still 4,000+ participants
    • register for Packers 5K ~ date TBD
    • register for Bellin Women's 5K ~ date TBD (1,000+ for all races in 2022)
    • watch for other events to possibly add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
    • Excellent goal previous years, to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
    • Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in mid to late 80s and live 90 miles away
    • Monthly contact with former colleagues/others in town, now that I'm retired
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, basement, books in living room
    • Made great progress on first floor of house in 2022, keep going
    Word for 2022-23: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Busy day so far. I think one of my alarms didnt go off because in a blink it was a whole hour and a half later. Had to rush a shower and get out a door for a coffee date. But it was all good.

    Yesterday was good eatin'. This morning i did my weighin for both WW and a small local weightloss contest.
    Everything is looking okay.
    Now i gotta log my points and write my agenda. Some stuff i *will* get done today (hubby is comin' home tonight).

    OKAY SO AGENDA
    - Descale and sanitize humidifier
    - Which means going to the hardware store for bleach (ideally before the storm rolls in)
    - Wash the bathroom rug
    - Clean kitchen counters
    - Wash towels
    - Mop floors
    - Re-org bathroom
    - Order more floss (x2 this time!)✔️
    - Vaccuum bedroom
    - Find place for humidifier box
    - (if theres time) Vacuum couch

    It's 15:44 now, and hubby gets in at 21:22, and it takes about a half hour to get home, so i have until 22:00 (6¼ hours) if he ubers, and until 20:30 (4¾ hours) if i want to pick him up. Wew, time to get crackin'.

    Is there a limit to how many times you can edit a post? I'm confused. The edit button was there a second ago....

    You can edit it for one hour after you post it, then you can’t.

    Goals for 1/7
    - Yoga ✅
    - Crochet ✅
    - Log all food and water ✅
    - Make progress with editing ✅

    Daily gratitude: I made a huge chunk of progress with the editing - should be able to finish tomorrow. I’m also proud of myself for sticking with my yoga practice, which was all focused on core today. Had to do a few modifications, but it felt so good when it was done.

    I really need to focus on drinking more water. It’s like I forget about it after work and on the weekends for some reason. So that’s going to be my main goal for tomorrow: drink at least 32 oz.

    • December was rather a trial for me. However, although I had a bad bout of Covid, I managed to stay on point,
    • I am continuing with my present routine in January.
    Focus for January:
    • Recovery time. Avoid added sugar
    • work on strength and flex
    • Adhere to Daily Solid Habits
    Avoid sugar!
    💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
    Strength/flex:
    🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️
    Current Solid Habits
    👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

    It’s good to see everyone renewing their goals etc.

    I’m will give the lose 5lbs challenge amiss as I’m in maintenance.

    Still suffering a bit of residual lethargy from Covid, but otherwise, back on form.

    So glad you had a great day! I'm very grateful [...]
    Oh strange, i think i misread somehow. I thought you had mentioned something called Park Run (or sometimes Park Walk) which is an event for runners and walkers (started in the UK, the first US one is a city away from me). I actually have quite a few parks around here, although the neighboorhood i live in is so pretty and quiet, i dont have to go far at all to have a good walk. :smiley:

    Oh! No, not as an event. Just a more concise way of saying "going for walk (or run) at a nearby park." :D
