- 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
- 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)

- Monthly contact with former colleagues/others in town, now that I'm retired

Tax docs delivered to DYD, who is a chartered accountant. Car service booked.
Craft book this morning. My wee friend brought me a gift. Her daughter had bought her 3 embroidery tote bag kits, and she gave one to me. We worked on them together. Helped one of the others with her crochet project.
Tracey: There are four indentations in my shower room floor because I always line up my scale with a certain part of the cushion floor pattern.
Appetite is much improved, but weight has settled lower than my previous maintenance level. Result!

Daily gratitude: I was able to get a lot done today (see all the green check marks above) despite a rough start. Also grateful for allergy meds so I can breathe.
Woke up late today, due to my brain being too wound up to sleep until after 11pm last night. Got to the office later than I wanted and spent 45 minutes convincing my computer to first turn on, then connect to the network, then let me print things - all while the IT support people were nowhere to be found. Managed to figure it all out eventually but what a frustrating way to start the morning.
Once again I didn’t have the energy to work on my editing tonight, and I didn’t do very well with the yoga - fell over multiple times because I just couldn’t find the balance. Guess I’ll have to try and start over tomorrow and make it a better day.
Goals for 1/11
- yoga
- Crochet
- 32 oz of water
- Log all food
- Send brother’s birthday card
- Grocery run (again 🤦♀️)3 -

@pridesabtch - I have a friend that is bi-polar you described it very well.
I have known her since she was 13 and witnessed lots. Unfortunately for her she was never diagnosed until she turned 50.
@TerriRichardson112 - what we don’t do to make sure it’s accurate.
I did a Leslie Sansone beginner walk tonight. It’s the first one in a couple years.
I feel good that I did it. I just hope that my hip doesn’t decide to show it’s displeasure tomorrow.

Bex I'm in for the 5lb January challenge...
Jan 3: 160.8
Jan 4: 159.2
Jan 5: 158.4.
Jan 6: 157.6 (lining out from cycle and big meals at the beginning of the week - likely all water weight)
Jan 7: DNW
Jan 8: 156.8
Jan 9: 157.0 (one week down 3.8)
Jan 10: 157.4 up a tad due to high sodium dinner no big deal as I know I was under yesterday
Jan 11: 155.6 lined out from yesterday
Yesterday was a good day, all smiley faces. I did take a short nap after work, I fell hard asleep. Glad I set an alarm or I would not have made it to spin class. As it was I kind of half-A$$ed spin because my energy level was down. Pretty normal after 2 very up days. Mood is still good, just not hypomanic. Slept like a rock last night. Didn't even hear my daughter get up sick in the middle of the night. Work up this morning when Tim left for work at 6:42. Decided I could sleep until 7:00, but set no alarm. Woke up at 7:30... Definitely late for work today. Good thing I have flexible hours or I'd never keep this job. Not true, if it were important for me to be here at 8:00, I would be. I just know it isn't. My first meeting is usually at 8:30. Weight was back down this morning as I knew it should be, but you never really know with weight. It can take a day or sometimes 3 to ditch the sodium bloat.
Today is work then trivia. They have a Philly cheese salad that I get that isn't too bad on calories and I limit to 2 beers. I used to not drink when I dieted, but then I felt deprived so I simply limit now. Did this last week with no negative effects on weight loss. Have to give a training presentation today at 1:00pm, and do a couple other work things, but nothing too serious. I should get out of work on time and have time to nap before trivia.

I was diagnosed in my 40's and there were a couple of rough years until they got my meds right. Things are really good now.

Happy Hump Day! 66 posts behind! I'll try to go back and catch up later but want to post goals now before I get distracted again.
It's a rainy day in Green Bay, which is melting the snow and I can see green grass! That's unusual in January for Wisconsin. Although I don't like the gray skies, I'm kind of happy to see green grass when I look out the window.
I started Body Groove 30-day challenge on Monday. It's a form of exercising by just dancing and moving your body. I joined the membership quite awhile ago but then forgot, so I decided I should begin using it. Boy, am I ever uncoordinated! If any of my neighbors saw me dancing around the house yesterday, trying to move my hips and shake my butt, they must've thought I was having seizures! But it felt good to move around like that and it was so much fun!
My son and his fiancee won a contest by a local radio station to get married on Valentine's day by the DJ who is licensed to officiate weddings. They choose 4 couples every year and it's all paid for...dress, rings, flowers, photographer, tux rental and then there is a brunch afterward for up to 10 people catered into the venue. They were planning to be married on June 16th at the courthouse anyway, so this is awesome! It'll save them money and they'll get to have more of a ceremony than they had planned. They already have the rings, but apparently they get the voucher for the jewelry store anyway...I'm not sure how that all works. My DIL-to-be, her mother and I are going dress shopping on Monday! FUN! Anyway....I sure would like to lose a few pounds in the next 4 weeks so I don't look as bloated in the photos! Exciting stuff. :flowerforyou:

Today's weather report: raining with temp right at freezing, so front steps are icy. Walking to mailbox to get morning newspaper, realized driveway is also somewhat slippery. Means no dog walk until ice melts. *Sigh* both me and dog. And every time I let her in from backyard, I have to dry her paws off so she doesn't track into house. It's winter and I want snow!

That is super exciting. Have fun dress shopping. I'm sure you will look beautiful at the wedding. If it's the bloat you are looking to remove a few days of low carb will drop water weight. It isn't fat, but for me it slims my face in like 3-4 days. Even I can go 4 days without bread, pasta or sweets. Not a lifestyle just a quick life hack...

@PackerFanInGB I loved your dance/workout post lol I too also dance like a sack of potatoes when I try a new one out lmao. I'm massively uncoordinated too 😂
But I can say that you will get better at it lol. Once you learn the moves and the patterns it gets easier..but then you start a new one and you're back at square one lol
But dance workouts are my fave because they're fun! So it makes.me.wanna do it.
Have fun!
