You've got a really healthy plan for today! Is the vanilla skinny syrup for your coffee like using stevia drops? Just curious. I like french vanilla creamer but I'm trying to get away from using creamer but still want that flavor...

So late getting on here again!! I always have the best plans ... but not doing so great. We are trying to find a different doctor for our daughter.. she has not seen a doctor since before the pandemic. Everything is zoom calls, and as a result, she has been getting worse. Lots of paranoia.. which she will not admit. And that causes anxiety and panic attacks. But its been frustrating. But she has a zoom call with her doctor next week.. we are making her take it out at our place so we can contribute to what is going on.
and .. as a result.. my eating is all over the place! Does not help that now that hubby is retired.. he is so bored. I hope he will get used to not working and find more hobbies.. but as a result.. I seem to get little done. Yesterday we went out for lunch.. just a sandwich.. but still more than I usually eat for lunch. Dinner was healthy.. but then, after dinner, we both sat on our butts.. and ate cashews and M&Ms! We had friends visiting and they gave us a huge bag of the best cashews... and you mix those with M&Ms.. just can't stop eating!!
I talked to my brother yesterday .. he quit smoking. He said he did it by buying DumDums lolipops.. and I thought ... I wonder if I bought those... and when I want to snack, suck on one of those instead? Just a thought... that.. and brushing my teeth. But .. it does not help when hubby is there snacking!
Oh well.. today is a new day. ha.. how many times do I say that!

I hope you get your daughter sorted out. Finding the right doctor was key for me. Now even with the additional stress of my daughter's issues I've remained stable. Saddened by her situation, but not in despair like previously felt in times of turmoil. I just say this to remind you that there is hope. ((Hugs)).1 -
Fell off the JFT wagon for a few days, now back on. Reading the posts, realized I'm a boredom eater, too. Always knew I was eating my emotions, but boredom is something else. Especially now that I'm retired and not as connected to others in person like I used to, seems to be an issue I need to deal with.
Sharing one of my favorite reminders that helps me:
JFT 3/7 T
1) Move hourly
2) Walk dog
3) Salmon & veggies for supper / net calories zero / 72+ oz. water
4) Make dessert for tomorrow's Lenten soup supper / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / open new LCEF account / check messages from financial advisor & NP / shop OTC acct / another ta-da?
5) Floss / retainers / pray
100 days from now reminder: What I do today gets me where I want to be. [Feb. 1 - May 11] Day 35

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

Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow. Did have some kale and spinach; had that at lunch too. Not a big deal; not really thinking of vegetables when I say that in my hour commitment after lunch.

@littleblackskirt - we called those lines “party lines” here in Canada. Ours had my Grandparents, another senior couple and our neighbour that had 4 girls. There were 5 teen girls all at the same time. I remember being careful to listen to make sure none of the adults heard anything and told my parents.
@teigansdad - I read about boredom being a reason you eat. That is my worst thing I think. I need to find something to be busy with. I have too much alone time too.
@emgracewrites - does your landlord not fix things? They have to here at no charge to the tenant.
@clicketykeys - I feel the same right now. I’m hoping I can start walking again this Spring and that will help me.
@PackerFanInGB - I would be eating all of that stuff with you and like you I’m a fast eater so would overeat too.
I have cousins on a cruise right now too visiting different islands. Wouldn’t it be funny if it was the same cruise?
@mytime6630 - that’s a long time for a doctor not to lay eyes on a person. I hope you find someone that can help her.
Boredom is a terrible thing!
I applied for a job last week and got a call today. I have an interview next Monday.

A big day in the garden today, having a conifer cut down, so will be busy with that. It's sunny but freezing.
I snacked too much yesterday, not taking this seriously enough. 300 completely unnecessary calories eaten!
Today was my first weekly weigh in day...I am one pound down. I'd hoped for more in the first week, but I guess it serves me right for still snacking a bit.
Today is day 2 in the garden, got to get the roots out now!

@PackerFanInGB
Hahah oh the school run, I suppose you're right in saying that it is for the young. But its still hard
Helps when you have uniform ready the night before, and if it's stressful getting out on time then get them up 15 mins earlier to give yourself that extra time.
As for the meals, my kids have a lot of that stuff, but they also eat our meals too. Not all the time (Saskia does) but we keep getting them to try it either way, we want to move them away from that stuff as much as possible to give them a healthy start. Although sometimes we like a quick and easy tea and enjoy eating it too!
Still not got Marley and Casey liking curry and rice yet haha we're close. They atleast try it now. But they say they still don't like it. They will one day 😅 it's only korma aswell because of the spices. Saskias upgraded to the tikka masala
Good luck Anyway haha xx1 -
Well I can officially say that I have exercised for 4 days in a row!
Only on my stepper. Not exactly sure if it's doing much but any exercise is better than non and it's gently easing me back into it.
Started with 5 minutes, then 10, 15 and hit 20 today
15 is gonna be my absolute minimum and I'll keep increasing the time by 5 minutes or for as much time as I have available depending which comes first.
I've ate quite well. I didn't have pizza last night, I let ash have it, he offered to share but I said no (Can you believe it, I said NO) SO I had a egg mayo sandwich and a cup of tea for dinner, and a piece of toast later on because I was hungry
But I'm doing well. I'm feeling good, still powered by caffeine 😂
I've realised one makes me sleepy, 2 or more gets me up and about lmao x

Stay under calorie goal with exercise added✅✅
8-12 glasses of water✅
Trainer ride✅
Trail ride✅
Call HVAC and reschedule✅
Change Cat litter✅
Make dinner💩 decided on leftovers
Log all food✅
No more than 2 beers If buddies end up parking at my place to ride✅
Bring girls to track practice✅
Laundry✅
Limit social media during family time💩 but getting better
Caulk top of shower✅
Yesterday went better than planned. Sara ended up offering to pick up girls from track so I got to ride with my buddies in the afternoon. Had a fun time and I feel like lately I’ve been able to keep the snack monster under my thumb. I’ve said it before … alcohol well specifically
Beer is probably my biggest culprit in going off the rails. I truly love a good New England IPA. As long as I keep it under 2 I seem to be able to control the eating volume… if I go more it’s like it disables a switch in my brain… I’ve had beer now two days in a row but stayed with the no more than 2 and so far that seems to be the magic number.. I only will partake when with my buddies so that’s also been a good change. Back to work for me today after 4 days off. No student with me so I’m happy about that… I do have a bunch of admin stuff I have to get done over next couple of days
Won’t be able to train as much rest of week with work and Teigan’s track meet tomorrow. I’m bummed because I’ve managed to be scheduled to work pretty much for every meet. I get off at 7… the meets will go much later so I should still be able to catch at least one of her events if not more depending on how many she runs but no-way I’ll see the 800 x4 which she really likes and went to regionals in last year. Will look at schedule this week and see if I can work some future deals.
Plan for today
Log all food
Stay under 1900 calories
30 minutes or more on treadmill after work
8 glasses or more of water (much harder to push fluids at work)
No beer after work
No food after 8
Work on credentialing recertification paperwork.
Work on committee outline for next project
Limit social media during family time2 -

Want mentally prepared for Bible Study yesterday. I’m still pretty angry with God. Don’t get me wrong my faith is still strong, I just don’t understand His plan for my family. Anyway, that makes studying His word difficult for me.
Today is a 4 hour SharePoint training. Yawn, but I am taking it from home in my pj’s and able to do laundry while I’m home.
This afternoon I’m going to go on a mini road trip back to where I grew up to see friends and go to a basketball game. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends & doing something where drinking isn’t central to the event.
It will be a late night, but a good night.

I know it's no longer January... but is it too late to join in for 2023?
I have some goals for this year and boundaries I plan to use for the year. I started my journey in 2009 but have had a lot of ups and downs. I have finally gotten to a point where I think I know what my long term boundaries have to be to keep myself on that track.
Long Term Boundaries:
Calories between 1200-1800 every day, even on special occasions.
Only water from 8pm to 10am except for special occasion days or Sundays (when we leave by 10am).
Exercise at least 3 days a week.
Keep blood sugar under control by diet and exercise alone. No diabetic medications.
Get weight to "overweight" instead of "obese" (only 5 lbs from this goal)
Just for today:
Keep to calorie boundaries
Be sure to get in a walk
Pasta day for dinner!
Drink at least 100 oz of water3 -

- 64 oz water before 7 pm
- Close activity rings
- Bills / Balance checkbook

Good morning JFT friends! Well, the morning went good. Got all 3 grandkids up without too much complaining and out the door and to school on time. Then I got a call from older grandson to come get him because he isn't feeling well. I know the other two kids were sick last week, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and picked him up and took him home. He doesn't miss much school, so hopefully my son won't be mad at me for "falling for it".
I'm at home now. I have laundry to do at both houses and I need to dust and do the floors at my house and their house today also. I've been coming home to shower and dress after I drop the kids off at school so I don't have to pack a bag for the week. They live only about 3 miles from us (maybe not even that far) so it's been pretty easy. Plus, my dog is pretty happy to see me in the morning. My husband said she mopes and lays by the door in the evening waiting for me to come home. Awwww...<melt my heart>.
I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight. Last night I made chicken nuggets, mac & cheese and tater tots. I made a bunch and all they ate was the mac & cheese...well, the boys did anyway...my granddaughter didn't eat ANYTHING. So I had a ton of food leftover. I feel like I'm wasting their food, not to mention I now have leftover chicken nuggets and tater tots in the fridge begging me to eat them! 🤦♀️
@Snowflake1968 Yes! Party lines! We had one too. I don't know who we shared our line with but I remember always having to listen to make sure nobody else was picking up the line and listening in... Oh my gosh. Times sure have changed. Now I don't leave the house without a phone in my purse. Crazy. My son and DIL are on a Princess cruise ship in the Caribbean. I am so jealous! I think I need to try a cruise someday... Good luck on the interview! What job did you apply for? Fingers crossed!
@Bex953172 I agree it's hard even when you're young. I had just forgotten how hard it is. Plus, I'm not used to getting up early in the morning anymore. I was pretty proud of myself for waking up before the alarm went off at 05:30 this morning! Two more days of getting up early, then my son and DIL will be home around suppertime on Sunday.
Just for Wednesday, 3/8/2023- 24H Plan & Assess

- Close activity rings
- Bills & Balance.
- Laundry, Dust & floors @ home and @ Bob's.

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! 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

I made terrible decisions today. It started yesterday when I bought crackers and cookies at the grocery store. Even standing there in the aisle I knew it would be a bad idea, because my self-control goes out the window when it comes to those two foods. But I still bought them anyway. Today at work was really slow so I started snacking because I was bored, and that continued throughout the afternoon. Then of course I didn’t feel like cooking a healthy meal I had no appetite for.
I’ll try and be better tomorrow (ha.. how many times have I told myself that one?). For tonight I’m just disappointed in myself.1 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow.0

Log all food✅
Stay under 1900 calories💩
30 minutes or more on treadmill after work💩
8 glasses or more of water (much harder to push fluids at work)💩
No beer after work✅
No food after 8✅
Work on credentialing recertification paperwork.✅
Work on committee outline for next project💩
Limit social media during family time😐
Today should have been better. Stayed under 2k but ate thing of low cal Ice cream that added almost 400 calories
It’s funny I kinda knew I wasn’t gonna run by noon today. Legs just feel tired. In retrospect I’ve worked out pretty hard for last 6 days straight . The only reason missing tonight is a issue is that tomorrow I’ll be at a track meet and I hater working out on Friday. But not working out for 3 days in s row is actually stressful to me. I guess I’ll figure it out. Prob still better to recover than overtrain
Wish I didn’t eat the ice cream but at Least I didn’t go crazy overboard
I’ll post to tomorrows goals in am
