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 yearWord for 2022-23: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship- 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 ~ 1.31.23 ack!
- Try new recipes now that I have the time
January: parsnip/potato mash; St. Louis gooey butter cake (Mom's bday)

- Continue PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
January 48.14 miles- 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.
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps
- 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)

Another dreary day. Was late for work, and didn't even shower or do my hair. Just threw on some clothes and a hat and went, okay I did brush my teeth. I was awake, but just couldn't get going. Lots of meetings today, but may leave early and shower before trivia tonight. Went to trivia last night, but wasn't really in the mood for it. We have teams we play on, so I feel bad if I miss. That and Tim thinks me getting out of the house is better than me laying around every evening.

Yep, fruits + veggies! I need to work back up to 10 a day, but that is a LOT of chopping and chewing.In speaking of neologisms, has @azulvioleta6 been using "freggies" to mean "fruits and/or vegetables? First time ive questioned what that meant haha. If so, stealing that too.

DAY 3: February 1; JFT I will:
1. Track all food
2. 10,000 steps
3. 8 C liquid
4. 5 freggies
5. Get Aquatic Center/Gym membership
6. Swim at least half a mile
Well, I knew where my gym bag was and where my swim bag was...but it turns out there was no swimming suit in there and no lap swim fins! Somehow they went walkabout during the move. I did find suits that I can wear (not the one I was looking for!) but not the flippers. I ended up doing some organizing and unpacking last night rather than making it to the gym. I've ordered new flippers (needed some smaller/lighter ones for travel anyhow) and realistically will not swim until I get those.
Grrr--minor roadblock! It's also 26 degrees here, just too cold for wet hair. I am hoping to get in the water by the weekend.

Weighins
SW: Jan 1st 207.6
SW: Feb 1: 202.4 (Down 5.2#)
**********************
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!
Jan 29: 205.0 .. not going in the right direction, but,, I need to look at where I started. Down almost 2.8 for the month.... and count that as a win. Even thought this month the scale has been up and down all month.. my own fault!
My 4 Step Plan for goal setting successWhere do I want to be at the end of the year: Weight 175 -- goal weight for my height*********************
To help me achieve my goal I will write down what I eat each day, and concentrate on drinking more water.
This week I will log all my food, and drink more water to help me achieve my primary goal. I will practice positive self-talk throughout the month of february
Next week I will plan my evening snacks to help me achieve my primary goal, and eat only what I have planned.
Next month I will l plan meals 5x a week to help me achieve my primary goal.

6 . 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.2 -

Im trying to not obsess about weight loss. Im getting there. I know eventually i will autopilot naturally. Looking forward to it.
I also realized that my average loss is around one half pound. Which makes sense, thats a good rate for my BMI. But that means my journey will be two years. Which is a lot longer than i figured. I shouldnt have expected something within a few months, but i subconciously was. Bad habit i guess. But im relieved somewhat when i successfully remind myself that i will be losing weight the whole time. Each month will be better than the last. Ill reap half the benefits halfway thru.
Didnt crash yesterday or the day after. I guess coffee is just that great?
Im trying to get back into a stretching routine every morning. Its hard but very worth it.
Got some big items done yesterday, my stress has been significantly lifted. Whod a thought?? LOL. Feels good. Cant procrastinate! Its bad for you!
Feelin the diet but glad to be back on track. Fun fact: If i wanted to, i could eat six slices of nut butter toast as my daily nutrition and hit my point goal. I dont know why, but that fact delights me. Man i love nut butter toast. And bananas! Can you tell i need to go shopping?2 -

Went to trivia last night (we won) and had a good time. It was needed. I actually relaxed a bit. I feel a little selfish, because I didn't check in on Sierra yesterday. I don't want to be overbearing. Okay, I do want to be overbearing, but I don't want to smother her.
Got to do Fun with Science this morning which is always a bright spot in my job. Of course, my hair was sticking up all over the place due to static and my makeup is left over from last night which means this was the day the news paper guys decided to document our little community outreach program. Sigh. Still fun though. Got a few things done at work, nothing much really, but things will bump up next week for sure.
Big plans for doing laundry tonight and tomorrow. Maybe even eat dinner at home for a change.
Tomorrow night, I'm taking hubby to a drag show. He's never been, but I think he'll have a good time. Two of his co-ops are going with us. Should be a fun night. What does one wear to a drag show? I haven't been to one in years.
Maybe just a few goals today
- Up by 6:30 6:50
- Work by 7:30
- Fun with Science show
- Lunch out with the gang
- Do mom's bills
- Quality slides for management review global thingy

Learned my lesson the hard way last winter, and I don't want to make that mistake twice, when I walked a 5K in frigid temps. Even though I was dressed for the weather, resulted in lots of knee pain, overuse diagnosis, drugs and eventually physical therapy. This morning's wind chill an hour before race was around zero F, so I know I did the right thing. But still, sad me. And even with today's sun & temps slowly warming, strong winds are cold & keeping me from walking dog = sad dog. Maybe tomorrow.

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!
Jan 29: 205.0 .. not going in the right direction, but,, I need to look at where I started. Down almost 2.8 for the month.... and count that as a win. Even thought this month the scale has been up and down all month.. my own fault!

@Bex953172: Saskia's birthday sounds like it turned out to be perfect! I'm sorry it was so stressful. I know how that feels when you don't want your kids to be hurt or disappointed...many sleepless nights over the past 40 years here too. The fact she called you Bro made me laugh... I agree with @TerriRichardson112 about always having at least one of the kids being in turmoil of one sort or another. Were you able to sort out the school issue for the 3 girls?
Ano it turned out okay in the end she had a good time. We STILL haven't been to the shopping centre. I think that's next weekends agenda. We feel bad (but she hasn't asked) but every weekend there's been another problem, or someone else hasn't felt well or the weather has been absolutely rubbish.
Plus our bank account got frozen and her birthday money off us was still in there. It's only JUST unfrozen yesterday.
As for the school, I'm SO sorry I didn't update you guys!
Yes we have found a school, we visited it not this week just gone but the week before. And we love it!
It's a new build, there's two floors, there's so much space and ALL the children were so well behaved. We were joking with the deputy head that was showing us around that she must have called ahead to each classroom to tell everyone to behave.
It was amazing. And I liked that they had some similarities to the older school like they still have the rewards assembly, and hot choc with the headteacher etc.
So all the forms are currently going through. And as soon as I get the Green Light I'm just gonna keep the kids off school until their new start date. I'll let them go in one last day to say goodbyes but I can't wait to be shot of the old school.
So that's the good news... My bad news is that the two real life friends I made, are now not my friends.
It's very long and complicated, infact I'll put it in a spoiler so you can choose to read or not..
But putting it simply, one of them was bad mouthing Ash. And I admitted to Ash that I had gone out sometimes and vented about him, but one of my friends kinda took it as it was and offered support. But the other decided to build up this whole view of Ash that was waaaaaaay off the mark. Bearing in mind. She has met him twice. In 2 years. So in her eyes he was an abusive, controlling partner.
We were all at the same school obviously, when the closure proposal arises we all decided to move. Me and K assumed we'd all go together, L had sorted out a school place herself without really telling us and then when it came to applying there was no room for me and K.
We though no problem, we can still meet her after the school runs
L fobbed us off all week so that was it, we were fuming. K also thought L had been stealing from her house.
It all came to a head anyway, L argued with K and then L asked me if we were still mates and I told her exactly why I wasn't friends with her anymore. She then got personal and bad mouthed Ash and MY kids. Basically saying he's a bad dad and they suffer because of him. I gave her a last warning and blocked her on WhatsApp. She then preceded to text me because what I said scared the ©®@P out of her. And so I really let loose on her. She didn't text back after that. I'm really the wrong person to mess with and I'm not saying that to big myself up like I'm "hard" it's just that my temper is foul and my tongue cuts like a knife.
As for K.. I like her, she has ALOT of baggage. Single mum, dad is around as they co-parent and is sometimes very helpful. Occassionally a complete idiot.
They had neighbour issues. Similar to what I had where I previously lived for those who remember!
Anyway I've helped and I've helped and I've helped and it's not working. I can't do anymore. And they don't help themselves either though. Ks ex had a full on fight with them and police are involved and I'm now sick of hearing about it so it's just like.. it's too much.
And after seeing the texts between her and L the day it kicked off. I know that they were both speaking behind my back previously. She claims she wasn't but I know she has.
So I'm putting distance between myself and her. Not helping with the neighboura. Not going to her flat. Not giving any more info from my life. And Ash is always by my side now and he's an excellent deterrent lmao. He can just give this F Off vibe.
I want the friendship to end, but I worry for her still, it is alot of baggage and it's not ALL her fault and I just see her as very vulnerable right now
He mum and sister offered to help her get a new house for her but it's out of our area and she's worried about leaving me.
Ice been encouraging her to go. Not because I want to manipulate her out my life but because it honestly is the best thing for her. We had to up and leave our neighbour. Just packed our stuff and left. And I think she should do the same or she will love a life of misery and anxiety.
I want the best for her. I just don't want to be her friend.
So I'm trying to slowly fizzle things out. But I have to hope she doesn't follow me to the new school or I will have to say something and I just don't know how to go about it.
If you read this, thank you haha and sorry 😂

Oh any tips on keeping warm aswell guys?
My dad came round to our house yesterday to do some electrics. He was just wiring in two new plug sockets. Fairly straightforward job that should take a couple of hours.
Around half way through he shouted Ash to turn the gas off.
He drilled right through a gas pipe. A main gas pipe.
The plumber can't come til tomorrow.
I have no heating, no hot water, no hob, thank GOD my oven is electric. I've been trying to wash the pots with boiling water from the kettle and mixing it with the cold but it's difficult.
I've already told the kids they will have to stay off school tomorrow too because I can't shower them before school.
My hairs a complete greaseball and ash was laughing at me yesterday because he had a shower before.my dad came, going "Look at me I'm all fresh! See Bex, that's why you should have a shower in the mornings" 😉😂 I told him to shut up lol.
The kids are in PJs, dressing gowns and blankets atm. Tbh they've not really complained much.
I have one hot water bottle which tbh, IS mine. I worry with hot water bottles incase they burst, so I don't really let the kids have them at the moment. But over the years my microwavable heat packs have gone missing.
I do have two socks filled with rice that you can heat in the microwave that I could put in their beds tonight. And just fill.up another.
The most annoying thing is that I have an electric fire in the lounge. Which warms it up good. My other problem? I only have £9 on my electric meter.
Talk about tearing my hair out.
It's only for one day. That's what I keep telling myself. But the house is only going to get progressively colder.🥶

No update for today lol. I wrote out a nice big thing, but when i was mass deleting some text, iOS decided it was gonna delete the whole post, and i couldnt hit the undo before MFP autosaved LOL. Whats the point of having a draft button with autosave if you cant restore a manually saved draft? So i guess that update is for just me and the universe :-P Next time ill write my draft in my notebook app...

@Bex953172, sounds like youve thought of everything. They only things you havent mentioned are keeping active (when im cold i move around the house or exercise), drinking hot water, and keeping thr blinds / drapes closed at night (not sure if that one actually helps, but i imagine it does, and i always forget to do it).Oh any tips on keeping warm aswell guys?2 -
@Bex953172 So sorry about your heating situation. Is there any way you can use space heaters plugged in separate rooms, at least temporarily? Also, very sorry about the friend situation, I think you've got the right plan, hope everything works out.
Recap 2/4 Sat.
1) Move hourly / 7,500+ steps 8.1K 10 floors 11/14
2) Italian sausage penne bake for supper & creamy fruit salad / net calories zero / 72+ oz. water net cals -5, sodium -376, fiber ok, protein spot on, carbs & calcium good, 72 oz. water
3) Market on Military / air in tires / digital declutter ~ a little / clear some papers / another ta-da? refilled heated birdbath (negative dew points lately and lots of evaporation), misc. stuff to proper place in basement storage
4) Floss / retainers / pray / 6:30 alarm 3x
JFT 2/5 Sun.
1) Church at 7:20 / choir sang Call to Worship for 7:45 & 9:00 services
2) Move hourly
3) Walk dog (hopefully temp & wind chill improve)
4) Net calories zero / 72+ oz. water
5) Any ta-da's?
6) Floss / retainers / pray
Last evening I decided to make fruit salad along with penne bake. At some point, I asked hubby to help, since I was multi-tasking. He's good at browning meat, so I had him do that while I cut fruit. Then he asked if there was anything else, so I asked that he dump in marinara sauce (in jar sitting right there, which I had already opened). Apparently he did not hear correctly & I didn't look properly when he pointed and asked "this?", so he dumped in bowl of salad dressing I had started. When I saw what he did, we immediately did triage, and saved the hotdish.
Two of my pet peeves with him is when he constantly uses pronouns instead of the actual "thing", as well as his penchant for pointing & expecting me to look. I guess after all these years together & my bitching about those things, I have to change tactics. Either I have to completely stop what I'm doing & look (not likely), or I have to verify with all the words what exactly he means. To give him credit, he then asked if there was anything else he could do to help, so I asked him to bring a new container of sour cream up from basement fridge to restart salad dressing (I knew exactly where it was). He took a long minute downstairs, then brought up a block of cream cheese. Geez. He did go back downstairs and bring up the correct thing. LOL

Did laundry yesterday and took atom to a drag show. The show was a bit disappointing, but it was still a fun evening out.
Not much going on today. Snuggled on the couch with the dog watching TV.1 -
Goals for the week:
- yoga
- Crochet
- Log all food and water
- 40 oz of fluids a day
Working overtime this week. On the one hand, yay for extra money. On the other hand, boo for having to work extra hours to complete an extremely tedious task. I’ll try and just focus on the positive of the extra money.2 -
Didn't even get dressed yesterday. Just laid around the house. Not typically a good thing, but it is what it is. Haven't stepped on the scale in a minute, but jeans were a bit snug this morning. I know I've been stress eating and not paying attention to calories. Going to try to get back on target this week.
Saw a picture of Sierra on Instagram yesterday and couldn't believe how skinny she was. I knew she said she had lost a lot of weight, but I hadn't really pictured what 90-95 pounds actually looked like on her. Of course, then I had a slice of pizza at like 11:00pm. I totally should have just gone to bed, but I didn't. Got plenty of sleep last night, but still struggled to get out of bed. I'm taking my meds, but the depression is creeping in. I go see my therapist Thursday. Hopefully talking it out with a neutral party will bring perspective and some peace.
Today is work and teaching spin. I may make a new playlist for class. These folks seem to like classic rock with a little head banging. Totally not in the mood to do this, but I know I'll feel better once I do. It really does bring me joy to work out and to teach.

@Bex953172 glad to hear you found a solution to the school situation. Sorry to hear that your friendships are falling through.
I've only ever had one group of women friends that all got along. My husband jokingly called us the Coven. No witchcraft was involved, lol, but we were very close and there was no animosity anywhere, just a lot of love, empathy and happiness. They are still friends with me, but I moved away when the kids were very young. I still miss them and the times we had together. I doubt I will ever find that again. I'm harder now, less willing to open up and trust people with my heart.
Don't harden your heart and you will find the friends you need. Love you girlie!2 -

David at ‘Raptitude’ suggested using a RIGHT NOW LIST to avoid procrastination. I’ve been trying it out and have adapted it slightly, and it is working.
📍I have written RTM in big letters on post-its and posted them strategically.
📍When see one of my notes I will do a small task immediately > 5 times during the day.
@Bex953172 Yay! For the school situation; BOO for the gas fiasco.
We don’t have our gas heating on all day because of the increased prices at the minute. When the temperature drops in the afternoon we layer up and put in an extra jumper, or get up and pace for a few minutes.
Sorry about the friend situation. Hopefully you can make new friends at the new school gates.
I fell asleep before dinner yesterday and DH made dinner.

Getting the things done I need to, but not much else. Didn't sleep much last night, which doesn't make things better. Just felt really down and alone last night. Tim got home late, then showered. We sort of watched a basketball game together, but didn't really talk.
Spin class was good, but the high didn't last long.
This morning I had a gyno appointment. No real issues there just annual stuff. Looks like I put the 5 pounds I lost at the beginning of last month back on. My focus is elsewhere. Supposed to have Bible Study tonight, but I'm not in a very Godly place. Not sure what my plans are.
