    We had a wonderful 3 days with our son, but today, all I'm doing is eating. Leftover chips and dips, rice krispy treats, brownies.. all left that did not get eaten.
    SO Now I'm struggling to get back on track, so figured tomorrow will be my day to start again. I can say I had 3 cheat days. Actually I did OK until they left today.. then you know, that empty feeling when family leaves. I can't get into doing anything, and just grazing all day! And there is half a pan of leftover b rownies, leftover rice krispy treats, 3 bags of chips, dips, etc. I just hate to throw these away though.. so going to practice my willpower this week! (Ha.. and hope daughter eats them.. or at least the sugar stuff I should just throw in the trash). Why do I find this so hard to do though!
    SO... JFT, MONday, 1/15
    1. get back on track... log food both here and on ww. Stay within points; eat healthy foods
    2. concentrate on water .. red cup challenge. Aim for half of the week to meet my goal of 8+ cups
    3. go to the gym
    4. help hubby with work
    5. get potting mix .. start flower seeds under the grow lites
    ****************
    Red Cup Challenge
    1/12 :) Did OK.. but still only got in maybe 5 cups.
    1/13 :s
    1/14 :s
    1/15 :s Son was in town past 3 days.. and I know I did not get in enough water; actually ate very poorly today, but tomorrow will be the start of a new week for me. .. new challenges.

    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.
    Sunday, Jan 1: 207.8 starting weight
    Jan 8: 204.6 -3 pounds. Had a OK week.. did ok about 5 days. My 1st goal is to be under 200 by feb 1st
    Jan 15: 203.8 (Total-4#)--- This was my weight on friday, before my son came, so I am going to record that weight. My weight this morning was actually 206 .. but that was from eating way too much the past 3 days. So I am using my lower weight rather than this higher rate.. goes to show though how much our scale can go up in a few day! Hopefully it will go back down as quickly as it went up!
    **********************
    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
    2073. SW Year 2023: 207.8
    Weight Goals:
    SW, Jan 1st, 2023: 207.8
    1st goal weight: 199 - reach this by March
    2nd goal weight: 180 - reach this by July
    Ultimate goal weight: 170-175 - reach this by October

    August: 178
    Sept: 174
    October: 170--- Ultimate goal weight
    November: learn to maintain 170
    December: learn to maintain 170
    Personal Goals
    52. 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%
    53. To keep exercising, and do more strength training
    54. To learn how to plan meals and snacks better.
    55. To listen to podcasts and watch youtubers.. improve my way of thinking about food
    56. To sew at least 20 lap quilts for nursing homes; make at least 25 fidget quilts; make 100 more bears for hospital.
    57. To declutter our house.. keep only what I use!
    My word of the year for 2023: Transformation. I want to "transform" my thoughts about food to have a healthier attitude for food .. it is nourishment, not just enjoyment, and transform my body in get in the best shape I can... to strength so as to avoid injuries.[/quote]

    Goals for 1/15
    - yoga ✅
    - Crochet ❌
    - write THE END ✅
    - Drink 32 oz of water 🤷‍♀️
    - Log all food ✅

    Daily gratitude: the vast majority of the editing is done. Just a few more little things to research and clean up. Also thankful for noise cancelling headphones.

    Lazy day today, due to not sleeping that well last night. The kids that live in the apartment below me are being super bratty, so it looks like I’m going to have to sleep with my noise cancelling headphones in again 😞 I don’t know what my goals for tomorrow are going to be, so I’ll post them tomorrow morning.

    Whoops never did update.
    Ended up putting off all my tasks too.
    But i finally finished.
    I decided that crossing out all my tasks means i can wipe the board.
    That should prevent me from letting old tasks stay undone.
    I also have been writing tasks with different marker colors, a different one each day, so i can see how deep the list has gotten.
    Also its pretty.
    Anyway its late so i'll do a better update tomorrow.
    Night yall.

    Okay.
    At a PC. Agenda for today is up on the whiteboard. Whenever i'm at my PC its very awkward to transcribe the agenda so maybe next time i'm using my tablet i'll do it.

    Today is the first day of week 4 (i think) of my WW journey. As such, i have a new cache of weekly points. But i'm already negative. But not because i binge ate. A similar situation happened last Monday. I had study group and was tired all day. By the time group was over, i was exhausted, and i had a long trek home, with a full backback, in the cold California night. I wanted just a snack, but ended up getting a chicken schwarma wrap, and figured i would only eat half. I ate the whole thing easily. I didnt feel sick after either. I felt reborn. So i didnt regret it at all.

    Similarly, today, i had been very lethargic. Had been yesterday too, so i rested a bunch. Same the day before. But each day i was more and more lethargic. If things were different, i would just continue laying around all day and sleeping all night, but i need to be concerned about blood clots and household duties. I ended up eating 50 points today, all spread out, none of it spur of the moment. It was only after i had my last food item that i felt normal again. So i'm at -8 weekly points. I wont be surprised if i'm 0 or positive by the end of the week. The day after last monday, i did eat a little much, but by mistake; i got something that was way too rich and ate it anyway because i thought it was lower in points. That is easily avoidable by pre-planning meals and snacks. But even if my weekly points stay negative, i will not regret. I told myself i would take advantage of weekly points, and logging, and that this is a long term project. Logging and points allow me to see how im choosing my foods and nourishing myself. Its there to help me lose weight as efficiently as possible. The beginning of such a journey is always rough and full of inefficiency. And even if i'm negative, i still may lose weight, because all this stuff is approximate (and i'm sure WW is still figuring me out; also i dont log activity).

    Anyway thats it for now.

    Flights are booked for my daughter and I to get home. Hubby should be arriving at the hospital where his Dad is any minute.

    I am going to try to keep up with logging and posting but won’t be weighing while I’m away.

    I know myself well enough to know that if I stop it will take me forever to start again.

    I don’t leave until Friday so I’ll post my weight for the month on Thursday.

    Yesterday was kind of rough. It was one of those days where everything just felt super overwhelming. Had another night of crappy, broken sleep thanks to TOM putting me in lots of pain. Just hoping for an okay day today, and trying to remind myself to just take it one step at a time.

    • 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!
    💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
    💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
    💚💚
    This is making such a difference.

    Strength/flex:
    🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️
    🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️
    🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️
    Very pleased that %age body muscle has increased, and weight has stayed steady. I always worry when I up my strength workouts.

    Current Solid Habits
    👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
    👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
    👌🏻👌🏻

    Had a hectic week with my volunteer group leader tasks and other group meetings.

    Mostly recovered from Covid apart from a bit of a throat at times.

    @Bex953172 I well remember the angst of parenting my two girls. There always seemed to be at least one of them in turmoil if one sort or another. (((Hugs)))

    @Snowflake1968 Keeping you in my thoughts, and prayers, dear girl. (((Hugs)))

    Yesterday was a great day, Had a day off from work. Slept in, did some chores, made brownies for hubby (today is his 50th birthday - he doesn't seem thrilled by this), went to spin class, and generally just chilled.

    Goal today was to get up at 5:00am and go to the gym because we are going out this evening to celebrate. Woke up at 4:30 and decided another half hour of sleep would be nice. Of course, then I woke up at 5:15, but I decided to go anyway. Did a 45 minute workout, just cardio and abs. Rushed home, showered and got ready, made it to work 15 minutes late. So if I want to get an hour in 20 cardio & 40 weights, I'll need to get up at 4:45. Damn that is early, oh well gotta get this body back to where it should be. Diet has been on point, but I've been slacking on exercise. I've done well this past week, now I just need to stick with it. Unfortunately, that will mean early mornings on Wed & Thursday because those are nights we typically go out. So if I'm gonna get it in it will need to be before work.

    Weigh in this morning was a tad disappointing, but I am just getting back to lifting so there may be some water weight in there that will bounce off soon. Still overall down 5.8# so far this month. Can't really be disappointed in that.

    Work is a bear this week and today is only the first working day. I am however very scheduled Wed - Fri, and I need to prep things for that today. Ugh.

    Yesterday was a good day, though I was really tired. It will take a while for me to adjust to morning workouts. Did well at the Japanese restaurant, had lobster and shrimp with veggies, no noodles or rice. Very low calorie, almost too low. Had to supplement when I got home. Watched a little TV with the hubby then went to sleep on the couch. He woke me up and I went to bed, but it's ok I fell back to sleep quickly. Up at 4:45am this morning and off to the gym. Plan was arc trainer warm up and then upper body, but I decided to do lower body instead. Been hitting it pretty hard this week (I know its only Wednesday), but my whole body aches. In a good way, I can however still lift my arms, well until Friday. I think tomorrow will be a rest day.

    Trivia night tonight, which is why I had to do the morning workout. Trying really hard to make health a priority without missing the fun things we do.

    @mytime6630 This may be too late (for this time), but regarding your leftovers from a family visit, are you able to donate to a local shelter (women's, homeless, etc.) or some other place? We did that with leftovers from not-for-profit activities; we didn't want to waste the food, and we knew it would be appreciated elsewhere. It was, and they were so grateful we thought of them!

    JFT W 1/18
    1) Move hourly
    2) Walk dog
    3) Decide on recipe for supper / net calories zero / >64 oz. water
    4) Webinar 10-12 / grocery list / grocery shopping / call financial advisor to make requested appt / another ta-da?
    5) Floss / retainers / pray

    I had a great visit at Mom & Dad's. Also got to see my youngest brother who was over for his weekly visit, and aunt. After scratching our heads about the rules (first time since pandemic started), we played lots of Mexican Train (dominoes game). Realized on my way back home yesterday that my little car is not as tolerable for road trips, and my desire for great gas mileage comes at cost of my comfort. I may be ready to unload my car (hubby has alternate vehicles for me to drive haha) on my former co-worker who's interested. It would be first time in my adult life I'd have no vehicle in my name, kind of an independence nerve for me. Need to check into current value.

    Got home late afternoon, with choir rehearsal several hours later, so I had no desire to cook supper. It was $10 pizza day at Papa Murphy's so that's what we did. My eating was horrible all day, although Yum! Back to logging and posting today. Hi everyone!

    5# Challenge ~ according to my "official" Sat. weigh-ins:
    Dec. 31 = 177
    Jan. 7 = 177 still eating holiday foods
    Jan. 14 = 176.5 getting treats & portions under control

    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
      [**] January: parsnip/potato mash :) yum
    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
    • registered 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
      1.12.23 lunch w/ C
    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

    Goals for 1/18
    - yoga ✅
    - Crochet ❌
    - 32 oz of water ✅
    - Laundry ✅
    - Change sheets ✅
    - Job hunt 🤷‍♀️

    Daily gratitude: I actually slept last night, and my lingering headache is gone.

    Feeling a bit dejected about the job hunt. I don’t like the industry I’m in, but switching to a new one means taking a more junior position, which would probably mean taking a pay cut. Trying to decide if that risk is worth it. I know I’m overthinking things but I feel like I have no control over my stupid brain, at least not right now. Burying myself in fantasy books tonight. Maybe I’ll wake up with a better attitude.

    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
    Jan 12: 154.8
    Jan 13: DNW
    Jan 14: 155.4
    Jan 15: 155.2
    Jan 16: 154.6 (week 2 -2.4, overall 6.2)
    Jan 17: 155.0
    Jan 18: 154.4
    Jan 19: 156.2 - large dinner still sticking around

    Did well last night right up to the point where someone ordered cheese sticks for the table. I ate like 4 which took me over on calories and sodium, then I had a brownie when I got home. It was terrific. No guilt, but the extra 1000 calories is still sitting heavy on my tummy and bumped my weight up by 2 pounds. I know I didn't gain 2 pounds over night so I'm good. Flush that sodium and such out over the next few days.

    Crashed hard when I got home last night and totally did not want to get up this morning. Glad it was a rest day today, because I have zero energy. Tomorrow back at it, but maybe in the evening rather than the morning. Of course, it is nice being in a mostly empty gym in the morning.

    Another night out tonight is planned, but I'm not sure, I'm mighty tired. Maybe if I get a nap after work I can go.
