    Word for 2024: Discipline and Determination. Make this year the year that you use the discipline and determination to keep going.. to do what it takes, which is work, to be determined to reach your goal to be in a healthy weight range.
    Plans for today, Jan 7
    1. log ALL food. :)
    2. concentrate on water and ice tea. Yes ... I am giving up soda (diet pepsi)!! I am two weeks into substituting soda with ice tea. I will have soda when I eat out, and I think I have 3 cans left, but when those are gone, no more soda in the house. (Or pop as some call it). Ha.. plus it will save me money.. diet pepsi and diet coke have gotten so expensive! :)
    3. take down xmas tree and all xmas stuff and put away :)
    4. clean house :)
    5. laundry :)
    6. tonites dinner: Beef burittos (using leftover taco meat from last nite). :s
    7. sit down and plan at least 4 dinners for the week. Try to make this a new habit. :s
    8. if time.. take down outside decorations and lites. We have 2 more days in the 40s.. then snow, and temps in the 20s! :)
    Got so much done yesterday .. all xmas stuff down and put away. While I didn't do real house cleaning, I at least got things back in order.
    JFt, Monday, 1/8
    2. log all food
    3. concentrate on water
    4. no soda
    5. if we don't go to sams .. dinner tonite will be burittos. But planning on going to sams. and will pick up rotasisseri chicken

I've never been through something like that and would like to know how to go about making arrangements, but I don't really know who to talk to about it. Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority. Is it possible to find a faith community that does not include worship? What is the purpose of worship?

    13. 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." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Sustainable. Today went well but I am SUPER tired. Everybody else in the house got sick and I didn't sleep well. Didn't actually weigh in this morning because I woke up at 3 and didn't want to try to tiptoe into the bathroom with the scale. Gonna head to bed early tonight and turn off the alarm because there's a delay tomorrow. If I HAPPEN to wake up in time for my exercise class, I'll go to it, but I'm not gonna hit the ground running.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus. 2023 WFTY: Priorities

    Yesterday was pretty good. Didn't ride the bike and couldn't go to sleep right after the game. Actually only got about 1.5 hours of sleep last night/this morning.

    Weigh in this morning was disappointing. Though I was within calories, I had pasta which tends to stick with me for a day or two. Add that to TOM and weight was up a pound. Stay the course...

    After work today, I really need to take the tree down. We just haven't been home much.

    JFT 1/9 T
    1) Make navy bean soup for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water
    2) PT exercises?
    3) Call Mom <3 done / text sister <3 done / put away Advent candles / pack up nativities / pack up Christmas decorations / after hubby packs fake tree, put in basement storage / dust downstairs / move snowman decorations into empty spaces / read / online finances / review choir schedule emailed by director and update calendar / other?

    I am returned to JFT from an unintended long weekend. Sat. we went out of town to visit hubby's brother, wife, and our niece in state for holidays. Sun. was church service followed by forum meeting so home late morning, then my friend HH visited for few hours. We hadn't seen each other in 5 years, so I figured it was time to invite her over. Followed by watching Packers beat Da Bears for a playoff spot YAY. I at least logged food on Sun. but not Sat. since I had no idea what. Mon. was walk dog at tech school before snowstorm arrived, pack away all the ornaments, and take real Christmas tree out to curb.

    Today we are in a winter storm warning that started 3 a.m. until 6 a.m. tomorrow. Schools and other businesses were already announcing closures last night. We woke to several inches of heavy, wet snow, with lots more to come in the afternoon & evening. So Ladies Missions meeting today postponed, and choir rehearsal is canceled. I decided it's a good day to get ham bone from freezer and make navy bean soup for supper. No dog walk, but plenty of Christmas decorations and nativities to pack up and store in basement, so that will be my daily activity.

    About me:
    I'm Carmela
    This is my lifestyle. It's. Not. A. Diet.
    Height 5'4"
    66 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2024 Goals:
    1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be thrilled 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
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    • Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x)
    • Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    • PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
    4) MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,024km challenge started on Jan. 1
    • In 2023 I logged 726.88 miles, or 1,169.8 km & completed yearly challenge 11.14.23 :star:
    • In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km (knee issues).
    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
    6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
    • Registered 12.29.23 for Bellin 10K race on 6.8.24 & eligible to have race fee waived
    • Register for my other usual events, and add other possible events
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
    • Always a good idea
    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 their late 80s and live 90 miles away
    • Monthly contact with former colleagues/others, now that I'm retired
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office, basement, books in living room
    • Not as much progress as I hoped last year, but not worse.

    Keeping my Word for the Year: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    I had an emotional day yesterday. Some of you may know that my youngest daughter and her husband have been going through IVF. They have ran out of money to continue so her best friend started a Gofundme for them. She had such beautiful words to say.
    This is the link if you’re interested.

    Hopefully they can get enough together to try again and have success

    - Meetings starting at 7:00am going straight through to 2:30pm :smiley:
    - Log food :smiley:
    - Limit 2 diet sodas :smiley:
    - No alcohol :smiley:
    - Leftover pizza for dinner? :smiley:
    - Take tree down :(
    - Shower :(
    - Bed by 10:30 :smiley:

    Did well yesterday calorie wise, but not very good as far as "healthy food". I had pizza for lunch and dinner, but didn't eat anything else yesterday. Took a blissful nap yesterday after work, then went to bed around 9:00pm.

    My mom is mentally wearing me out. When I was in Pittsburgh last weekend, she texted that she was having difficulty breathing and may need to go to the hospital. I was 3 hours away, and she didn't return any of my calls, so I sent an ambulance to her house. They gave her a breathing treatment and she was ok, not that she answered my messages about her well being. Her neighbor updated me. Then once I was home she texted that her anxiety was high and she was nervous about going to bed. She asked what she could do to prevent her breathing difficulties. I told her to stay out of the cold air and not smoke. She hasn't talked or responded to my texts or calls since Sunday. I know her phone is working, because she will reply to my husband. Not sure if she's mad that I didn't come over originally (as I said I was 3 hours away) or if she's mad that I told her not to smoke if she was having a hard time breathing. Either way she is pouting. I made her a doc appointment for Friday, but don't now if she'll go, because she isn't talking to me. Ugh. She makes me so angry, but I'm trying really hard not to be passive aggressive or get bitter, but it's hard. Sorry for venting...

    On a lighter not, tonight is trivia night and I'm looking forward to that. My goal is to limit to stay within calories and to limit my alcohol to 2-3 light beers and have a salad rather than a cheese steak. Kind of funny story, I'm a Pepsi girl, and the bar only serves Coke. I started bringing my own soda to the bar. I figure I tip well enough that the bartender doesn't mind, but they do give me a hard time.
