Goal for the week 2 13 thru 2 27
NO SNACKS except a protein shake2/13 Monday2/15:
Well .. I kinda did snack at 4 in the afternoon. We were out running errands .. it was a beautiful day, close to 60 degrees. Got home, and hubby says how about a margarita, and some chips and dip leftover from sunday.So .. we sat in our patio room, had a margarita, and some chips and dip. But... I had the spinach dip (only 80 calories for 2 TBSP, and some low-fat triscuit crackers. But what I did do was eat very lite for dinner .. just a big salad with chicken on it. Our daughter came out in the evening... got out the tortilla chips, and took a huge bowl. You have no idea how often I walked past that bag of chips and almost grabbed a few .. which is what I normally do. But I stopped... made the choice to not have any, filled my water glass again. So, day 1, I think I did ok!
2/14 A stressful day with taxes, etc. but got that resolved. Had a lite lunch.. helped hubby. Made beef manicotti and apple crisp... and surprisingly I only had a small serving of apple crisp. and manicotti. Drank a protein shake in the evening. I heard my daughter getting out the apple crisp.. but ha.. stayed in my sewing room as to not go out and eat any! So day 2! very busy day today. First on hold with social security for 4 hours to get my daughters disability address changed back to ours. She changed it to her, but she lost her 1099, and I don't see mail from them, which being her payee, I need to see. But I hate calling them.. takes forever to get through. The rest of the day helped hubby. We are getting rid of a lot of stuff, and now he ordered a home gym.. so trying to clear space for that! So got rid of 2 large file cabinets that we no longer need. I'm not real excited about getting the home gym as I prefer to go to the gym, but he wants it, and who knows.. maybe I'll use it more and build up some muscles, which I need to do. So while I did not snack tonite, I did get into some M&Ms this afternoon,but stopped at maybe 1/4 cup. Hubby had a friend over, so we were late eating dinner.. and I was hungry. Hows that for an excuse! But.. at least tonite I did not snack, and I had a very lite lunch, so I think I am OK. Day 3 done!
Lets all make a choice, just this week, to change just one thing.
We can do this!!!!

This is down from a peak of 197 lbs in August, 2022. I have back pain from multiple spinal fusions and resulting arthritis which limits mobility and any impact exercise. I was fairly inactive, then COVID hit and I was a chair cover for the 2020 and 2021, In 2022, I developed what was thought to be sciatica and treated with multiple rounds of steroids (oh, boy, add another 5 - 10 lbs for each round and injection!). In August it was discovered that the sciatica was caused by a trapped nerve and surgery relieved 95% of the symptoms immediately! I no longer felt like sparks were shooting down my leg and out my toes worsened by every step. I was able to start being a bit more active, but in September when I couldn't blow a dart out of a dart gun, I saw the doctor and was diagnosed with emphysema. In November, I began Pulmonary Rehab twice a week, weighing in at 187. I now have a treadmill that I walk on daily and an Elliptical that I exercise on daily. Yesterday was my last day at Rehab. I weighed 167, so I have come a long ways and have a long ways to go. I have gained significantly more strength and can actually see and feel some muscle in my quads and biceps that was absent before. My fear now is that without the motivation of having to face my rehab therapists and 'perform' on the rowing machine, elliptical and arc trainer during rehab twice a week, I will lose motivation and incentive. So, I need you all to hold me accountable! My goal weight is 135 by August when I plan to take a trip to Slovenia, Italy, and Austria. I want to be able to walk the bridges in Venice and see all the sites of Rome and enjoy the beauty of Ljubljana and architecture of Vienna! Who will help me, encourage me and hold me accountable?
Welcome to our group!! @pridesabtch is right .. .only you can make the good decisions to lose weight/keep it off. But .. this group is great for accountability, encouragment, friends to cheer you on! We'll hold you accountable, and thats what it takes. You can do it!1 -

Changing your choices is key to changing your habits. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen overnight. As they say, old habits die hard, but it’s definitely worth the effort to replace them.
I find that concentrating on one small habit at a time works well for me.
Stick with it.

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.

- Registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised).

Being a teacher is the most thankless, underpaid job. A job I have the upmost respect to anyone that is in this profession. It has got to be so hard when you are not being backed up.. which I often hear from my friends who are teacher. But .. you are NOT wrong. You are doing what is best for these students. It is a shame that the higher ups don't support that. Hugs to you.2 -

I had meant to post yesterday however, sometimes on my iPad my finger will hit the app just right and everything I have typed disappears. On a good note with exercise I was below my caloric need however, I had hoped to be below the limit not including exercise. And I would’ve made it had it not been for my daughters birthday. That sweet little girl is 16 now blows my mind. Today is going to be busy. I’ve got the day off. Got to do a lot of things around the house to get ready for a party on Saturday, I think we’ve got nine teenage girls coming? I usually hate getting a list from my wife, but in this case I was actually happy to have one. It’s raining today, so in spite of the warmer weather, I won’t be tempted to ride my bike. Seems like that’s a gift from the big guy upstairs.
For today
Under 2000 cal
Work out on the trainer
Also, a quick run on the treadmill
No more than two beers. I would say zero but I’ve got to do vacuuming and house work. I detest all of it, so I almost always have a beer when I do it.
Knock out work list

We got 2-3 inches of snow yesterday afternoon & evening, which hubby shoveled this morning while I did kitchen chores. Beautiful sunny sky, but cold. Wind chill is 10F, so no dog walk today. I'm psyching myself up to walk 3 miles on basement treadmill.
100 days from now reminder: What I do today gets me where I want to be. [Feb. 1 - May 11]
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 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)
February: creamy bacon corn chowder
January 1x6 days, 1x5 days, 2x4 days
February 1x6 days, 1x4 days- 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
January 48.14 miles
February 22.06 miles so far (2/11)- 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 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised).
