    100 days from now reminder: What I do today gets me where I want to be. [Feb. 1 - May 11] Day 47

    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! 2.28.23 not better but not worse
    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) = :smiley::smiley:
      February: creamy bacon corn chowder (slow cooker); banana bread (using applesauce & oil); braised lamb shanks with lentils (slow cooker); apple cake (with buttermilk) = :smiley::smiley::smiley::smiley:
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x)
    January 1x6 days, 1x5 days, 2x4 days = :smiley:
    February 1x6 days, 2x5 days, 1x4 days = :smiley:
    March 1x6 days, 1x5 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 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.
    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::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) 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 ~ learned of Pi Day race, but did not enter
    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/ CH
      2.11.23 ART Nite w/ PZ (supper, gallery, bar w/ live music)
    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

    Eat 3 sensible meals no, only breakfast was good
    Only one snack 2
    Back exercises no
    Half an hour clearing room no
    Plant dahlia corms no

    Didn't do well yesterday. Why is it so hard to eat 3 healthy meals a day?! I invited a new-ish neighbour round for a coffee so the morning was nice. But I had no oomph in the afternoon. It was far too wet and windy to garden outside and I didn't want to do anything at all.
    Got yet another cold starting from grandson.

    JFT Thursday 23rd

    Eat 3 sensible meals
    Only one snack
    Grocery shopping
    Make dental appointment
    Call into hairdressers

    Plan for today..back to work after 6 days off
    Log all food✅
    Under 2k calories✅
    10-12 glasses of water💩
    No beer✅
    No food after 8💩

    Yesterday was pretty good. The snack monster tried to get me after Teigan’s track meet but I feed him a grapefruit and crunched some carrots and sweet peas… ate after 8 but didn’t go nuts so I’ll call it a win. Not much to say today… I do have to get a treadmill run in after work. Gosh I hate the treadmill.. or maybe it’s just running all together but gotta do it so I can actually be supportive of my daughter this summer as a running buddy from time to time and not hinder her.
    Plan for today
    Under 2k
    10-12 glasses of water
    Log all food
    No food after 8
    20-30 min treadmill
    No beer

Progress: Regressive behavior is now minimal. What do I do about the fact that I WANT her to sleep in her room and she doesn't seem to care? Trying to reflect on progress but it's hard when there's so far to go. What do I do about the fact that nothing really seems fun? "Having fun" is something of a chore.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared."

    WFTY: Priorities. About the same as yesterday this morning. Hoping things continue to look up!
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    JFT Wednesday
    - late/early puppy duty :smiley:
    - Laundry :smiley:
    - Shower :smiley:
    - Work by 8:00 :( Dog slowed me down
    - Morning meetings :( Got drug tested instead
    - Supplier visit :smiley:
    - Maybe go with Tim to therapist, maybe go back to work, probably go home. :smiley:
    - Puppy duty until Tim gets home :smiley:
    - Work on leash training and potty training :smiley:
    - Eat on plan :(
    - Stay under 1300 cal + exercise :(
    - Maybe trivia :smiley:
    - Log food :(
    - bed by 11:00 :(

    Boy did yesterday go off the rails in the evening. Went to trivia while Tim stayed home with pup. A friend met me there and joined our team. Then somehow my 2 beers turned into a much larger number. Friend bought a couple rounds, another friend bought me one, I had already had the planned amount, but I just can't turn down free drinks. Character flaw I suppose. Anyway, we did well at trivia, but I had to call Tim to drive me home. Better safe than sorry. He didn't mind, and not terrible since we can carpool to work (though we rarely do). Then of course when I got home the snacking began... sigh. Ended up staying up until midnight just hanging with the big dog. He is cranky and jealous of the puppy so in the evenings I take him upstairs and we chill on the couch together.

    Pup did well last night. Woke me up at 2:30 and she went out and peed, and she was successful again at 5:30. Unfortunately, sometime between the 5:30 -6:30am mark I need to figure out how to get her to poo outside. So far each morning around 6:30 I comedown to a poo filled kennel and doggie poo footprints all over. Yuck! She has only been working on this for a few days, and seems to get at least that she needs to pee outside. Just a matter of patience on my part and time on hers. It's possible her kennel is too big right now. That can lead to potty training issues.

    JFT Thursday

    - Work by 8:00 :( 8:30

    Hello JFTers! Hope everyone is doing well. We have blue skies in Green Bay today! Yippee! It sure does make a difference in my mood. I've never been more aware of that than this winter. I got outside for a little bit yesterday, and getting some fresh air really did make a difference in my mood. I've decided to set a daily goal of getting out of the house every single day no matter what that means...taking a drive, simply getting the mail, cleaning up dog poo in the backyard...whatever that looks like. I think I've been way too secluded since being let go in 2020 for Covid cutbacks and I've gotten too comfortable with being isolated. The stupid health issues make it harder to do stuff I like to do, but not impossible! So I need to tell myself "Suck it up, Sally!" and get back to being "me". (Sorry for the novel, but this is kind of like journaling for me.)

    @littleblackskirt Having a new neighbor over for coffee sounds lovely to me. The past two houses my husband and I moved to have not been overly inviting. I miss the days when neighbors actually talked to each other! We used to have block parties and little neighborhood gatherings back in the day. Such good old days... *sigh* I hope you feel better soon! It seems like I come down with a cold every time I spend time with my grands... :smile:

    @mytime6630 Gardening? Oh my, I'm envious! It's not nice enough yet here and you are only a few states away. It's amazing to me sometimes how different our temps are. I have a friend who lives near St. Louis and when she sends me Marco Polo videos while walking I'm often amazed at the difference. :flowerforyou:

    @pridesabtch That's actually really good that the puppy isn't peeing in the kennel already. Do you have Gia eating on a schedule? That's been helpful for us in the past. I agree that the size of the kennel can make a difference too, but like you said, it's only been a few days so I'm actually really impressed it's doing as well as it is with the pottying!

    • I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps = :smiley::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) 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.

    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/ CH
      2.11.23 ART Nite w/ PZ (supper, gallery, bar w/ live music)
