Yesterday
Less than 2300 calories total (think this might be more reasonable)💩 but was under adjusted for exercise
No beer✅ and I even purchased a 6 pack.
10–12 glasses of water✅
Trainer ride✅
Weights✅
Get a run in … on way to pick up car✅
Re-caulk upstairs shower/tub✅
Log all food✅
Pay credit card bill💩
Bonus… mtb ride of trails open💩
Yesterday was ok..would have liked my caloric intake less but planning on putting 1.5 hrs on trainer backed up by ride on trails… should get around 45-50 miles in today total.
Gonna skip weights. Used to lift all the time. Yesterday was pretty nice first time I’ve felt a “pump” in years lifting. Moved away from it when focus turned to biking but as I age I keep reading how resistance training is so important and I really also just wanna be healthy. Happy to have skipped the beer yesterday. Had pretty bad urge while doing house work but also knew I needed to get my daughter after her practice AND really didn’t want it… just think my brain was searching for something. Kombucha saves the day again… just that gingery sour taste and thick unfiltered consistency seems to really satisfy me… plus only 50 calories vs 300 for a can of beer.
Teigan has a track meet today. Really more of a scrimmage but Sara and I are gonna go. I’ve gotta do a bunch of beg borrowing and stealing to make switches at work this year as I’m scheduled to work a ton of her meets. Her cross country season and indoor track season was supper tough. Her coach was just toxic. Never ever giving positive feedback. Always telling her she was too slow in indoor track BUT wouldn’t give her a shot in the mid distance events (which she went to regionals for as a freshman).. luckily the school asked him to leave because he was such a total A$@ to all the girls except maybe two (one of which is just a natural superstar). He almost single handedly ruined a sport she had grown to love. Now she’s got her old coach back. He’s kinda old school. Works them HARD… but I’d they put in the work he supports them 1000%
Night and day in her performance, overall mood…
Everything
Thank god!
Todays goal
Shoot for sub 2200 calories
No food after 8
Pay bills
Trainer ride
Trail ride
Pay car registration
10 glasses of water
Enjoy track meet today2 -
Good morning everyone. New here
March 1, 2023. Never knew MFP had so much to offer socially. I always just looked at tracking myself, which I'm not very good at because, ya know, it takes time to input everything. LOL! So here goes...
I am 42, mom of 3 (twins age 19 one boy one girl) and a 15 yo boy. I was diagnosed with high cholesterol last June. I thought I could "handle" it myself. I never knew how bad I was really doing until I went back to the doctor and it had not come down. I do not want to be on medicine for this. So now its time to buckle down and kick some health goal *kitten*! So it's been a few days that I am steadily logging on MFP. Most of it I do the night before as I prepare my food for the next day at work. That helps! I am still learning and adjusting. I have seen a dietitian, so I can be pointed in the right direction. It would be nice to tone up my body. But I really just want to live as long as possible and have tons of energy!
Basic Goals:
Stay under 2000 calories
Drink 128ozs water
Move every hour
Exercise at least 20 mins at least 5-6 days/week
Get outside as much as possible since that is my happy place
Meditate daily
NICE TO MEET YOU ALL!5 -

Yesterday was rubbish. Tim came home and we had to drop his rental car off around 3:30, and neither of us wanted to go home. We went for a walk at the park and out for an early dinner which turned into drinking and shooting pool. It was fun, but I feel bad about my choices lately. As others have said, March can be a fresh start.

Well on a good note seems like you and the hubby had a nice night together... Feel like you guys deserve that. Today's a new day.
I think anytime we spend w/ our spouse doing things together other than "must do" family obligations (dinner, house work, attending sporting events for our kids") is a good thing. The closest we seem to get on that is watching TV together. For me that end up equating to snacking and mindless scrolling on internet. If I were to be snacking but having a blast w/ my gal I think I'd give myself a pass on that one. You should too (:2 -

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! 2.28.23 not better but not worse
- 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 (slow cooker); banana bread (using applesauce & oil); braised lamb shanks with lentils (slow cooker); apple cake (with buttermilk) =
January 1x6 days, 1x5 days, 2x4 days =
February 1x6 days, 2x5 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 55.79 miles YTD 103.93 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 ~ 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) from walking in another frigid 5K.
- Registered for Bellin 10K on 6.10.23 ~ 2022 first time in person since 2019; 2023 added 5K event.
- 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
- Excellent goal previous years, to be continued
- 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/ CH
2.11.23 ART Nite w/ PZ (supper, gallery, bar w/ live music)
- Made great progress on first floor of house in 2022, keep going

Well on a good note seems like you and the hubby had a nice night together... Feel like you guys deserve that. Today's a new day.
I think anytime we spend w/ our spouse doing things together other than "must do" family obligations (dinner, house work, attending sporting events for our kids") is a good thing.

If I were to be snacking but having a blast w/ my gal I think I'd give myself a pass on that one. You should too (:
When we sit and watch TV, we both just play on our phones and there is virtually no interaction. Maybe the occasional "Did you see that?" if we are watching sports. Our time in Pittsburgh was largely spent in the hotel bar (our bar bill was probably as high as the room fee). We could only visit the hospital 1 hour a day, and there is only so much time you can spend in a hotel room (mind out of the gutter). They weren't exactly fun nights, but they were ridiculously high in calories. I think we were both too in shock & felt guilty if we were to lighten up and enjoy ourselves when our daughter was struggling so. There is a new level of stress now that she is out and living on her own, but we can't dwell on it. At least it doesn't do any good to dwell on it. I think we both just kind of let down yesterday. Not exactly productive, but I think I will give me a pass on that one. Just gotta do better tonight. Still going out, but I think I'll drive tonight.4 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.0

Hi JFT friends! I know it's been ages, but you've been in my thoughts. Honestly, I've missed you all. The last 8 or 9 months have been challenging, and I've let the stress erode many of the good habits I worked so hard to build the previous year. Well today I looked at the date on my watch and the numbers on the scale and decided I need to step back on track and take responsibility for my own wellbeing. I logged my food and went for a walk, so that's a start. Now to set a few goals and work on catching up a bit.

@beachwalker99 -- Welcome back!! We missed you!
@pridesabtch -- you have been through so much these past couple of weeks .. so give yourself a pat on the back for even just maintaining. Right now, all your energy is focused on your dear daughter and taking care of yourself. The scale is only a number ... your mental health, etc means so much more. With all you have been through.. I would not even be thinking about what I eat. .so you are doing great. BTW... I hope your daughter is doing better! Praying for you all during this hard times, and praying that things get better for you all.
@clicketykeys -- I am like you with water. I have to remember to ask myself if I am just thirsty .. which in most cases for me, it is thirst, not hunger!
@shann55437 -- Welcome! Happy to have you join us!2 -

Back exercises no
Grocery shopping yes, so many shelves full of things I shouldn't buy!
Monthly bills some
Phone council yes, got through eventually
Sow some seeds no
Day 1 was fairly successful, there were numerous times I wanted to eat something but stopped myself because it was just habit. My morning went well, I failed to finish my plans in the afternoon. After my phone call I had to follow up with neighbours and it took up time, if the council would do their job properly I wouldn't be having to do this. So I'll catch up today.

@shann55437 Welcome! Glad to have you join us! I'm Becky, 30yo, also have 3 kids but younger, 9, 6 and 5. And all mine are girls. Sorry to hear about the cholesterol.
I like how you plan your meals the day before! I'd love to be able to do that myself but everyone in the house is so fussy (including me) and what I make I probably won't feel like eating the next day 😂
It's good you've seen a dietician too! What was her advice regarding the cholesterol?
We all have our own little tips and tricks too so you may pick up more along the way!
Good luck!3 -

@Bex953172 thanks! watching your saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol are key. however, dietary cholesterol is different than what shows up in your bloodwork, so unless what's on the label is super high, concentrate more on watching the fats.
haha! don't let me fool you. i plan my "at work" daily meals. dinners are very hard to plan bc i have to watch what i eat and the kids don't. but we all give a little somewhere so it works. i just have to hide all the chicken in flavor and they don't seem to mind too much.
i am so excited to see what i learn in this group! i read through the comments and everyone has so much to offer. and everyone is so open. i look forward to logging in each day!
you definitely have your hands full, but honestly it doesn't get any better as they get older. the issues just mutate!

Almost forgot that I had a hair appointment yesterday. My hairdresser is actually a good friend, her daughter and Sierra used to do gymnastics together. She asked about Sierra, I told her things weren't good, but there were other hairdressers and clients around so I didn't go into details. I did well up a bit, but didn't break down. After the hair appointment, I was just down and didn't feel like going to trivia. Instead I laid around on the couch with the dog, not really a good plan. I did however not snack while I wallowed in sadness. I take that as a win!
V is on a choir trip until Saturday, so Tim and I will likely go to dinner & trivia this evening at my favorite bar. It's a little pricey, but the food is good and the atmosphere is nice. Once again, I plan to limit the drinking and stay within my calorie allotment.
Boss man just came in and let me know what my bonus is for this year and that should pay for a nice chunk of Sierra's hospital bills. Definitely hitting our deductible early this year.

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! 2.28.23 not better but not worse
- Try new recipes now that I have the time
January: parsnip/potato mash; St. Louis gooey butter cake (Mom's bday) =

January 48.14 miles
February 55.79 miles YTD 103.93 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 ~ 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) from walking in another frigid 5K.
- Registered for Bellin 10K on 6.10.23 ~ 2022 first time in person since 2019; 2023 added 5K event.

- watch for other events to possibly add
- Excellent goal previous years, to be continued
- 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

Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.0

Had a nutritionist appointment today and the number on the scale moved up. My goal is to gain weight, so that’s a good thing for me. ☺️ She also pointed out all the non-scale victories that I’ve had, like reduced GI symptoms and the fact that I have more energy overall.
Just thought I would take a second to toot my own horn and celebrate. This thread has been super supportive and helpful, so thanks so much to everyone!
