    Y’all I could use some prayers for my daughter. She tried to commit suicide last night. We are in the ER with her waiting for her to be admitted.

    Hubby and I are a little lost and numb, but holding it together so far.

    Oh my dear girl. I cannot imagine how you feel. (((Hugs))) and prayers for all of you.

    Sorry y’all. Didn’t mean to over share. I just needed a save place to vent my fears. We are keeping this pretty private.

No matter what I do, I'm always wrong. I'm always wrong. It's never good enough. I'm ALWAYS wrong.

    With weather more winter-like, I'm getting the idea in my head to walk on treadmill in basement again. Always takes me a bit to get in that mindset, because truly I don't love it. And sad dog.

    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 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 ~ 1.31.23 ack!
    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; St. Louis gooey butter cake (Mom's bday)
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x)
    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
    4) MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,023km challenge started on Jan. 1
    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.
    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 :smiley:
    6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
    • 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).
    • 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

    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.

    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
    Pay bills

    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.
