JFT - Jan 12 2024
Log all Food
1L of water
Move

I missed a couple of days, I was busy studying and yesterday was DH’s birthday so I also spent some time with him.

@mytime6630 - Casey was born sometime in the first week of February 2018
I started JFT in April 2018.

I need to get back to the actual logging.
My foot is bothering me so I’m not doing much for movement.

My daughter’s baby find is at $4400 44 donations so it works out to an average off $100 per donation and it’s been live for 4 days.
The goal is $30K. They have spent that already and just don’t have it to do on their own again.

I know you’re not supposed to pray for money, but that is what they need right now.

I hate updating on my phone but too lazy to go upstairs and log into computer

Recap 1/12 F
1) Leftovers for supper plus side salad / log all food / 64+ oz. water

2) Treadmill at least 2 miles ~ strange how walking outside is so different

yippee!
3) Keeping things low-key today: shovel snow as needed while hubby snowblows ~ good workout with drifts over a foot high! / wash dishes / prep potatoes & bacon for tomorrow's farmer's breakfast / read / digital declutter~nope / other?nope TA-DA!

JFT 1/23 Sat
1) Make farmers breakfast for brunch / log all food / 64+ oz water
2) Shovel more snow while hubby snowblows... that's it for planned activity

3) Wash dishes / read / digital declutter / prep for church tomorrow / other?

Took me a while to shovel my way to our front steps with the drifts higher than the steps. That north wind was wicked.

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
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
visit 1.12-1.13 canceled due to snowstorm
Monthly contact with former colleagues/others, now that I'm retired
1.7.24 HH came over & visited at my invitation

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

11. Medical: YMCA classes. Lift @ lunch. Maintain @ 155 w defined muscle tone. At 194, purple All-Stars. 189, 1pr black 1pr white leggings. 179, 2 Svaha Rachel dresses. 169 suit - Indochino? 159 swing dance lessons. Talk to PCP about feet (cannot do calf raises, pushups, planks, mountain climbers, etc.) Why can’t I sleep better? Therapy Mon Feb 5 11A. Dentist May 14 11A. Massage Feb 10 6P. Need to RS colonoscopy. PCP virtual appointment Jan 15 1p.

12. Therapy thoughts: I need to talk to my parents about later-life plans (particularly assisted living and funeral preferences). 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. CrossFit is going well; getting up even MORE ridiculously early hasn't been easy but it's been workable so far. We'll see.

2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus. 2023 WFTY: Priorities

@PackerFanInGB I dunno; part of the reason I'm so frustrated about this class is that I'm having to bust my tail to familiarize myself with it - and then since hopefully I'll get to teach the class that *I* pitched after this, I won't be able to re-use any of the work I'm doing on this one. But at the same time it's not like they could have just changed the schedule and put students into the new class, since that's not what they signed up for and it wouldn't be fair to them. So, like, I get it. And it's the best option out of what was available. I'm just a bit grumbly!

Recap 1/14 Sunday

2) Leftovers for brunch & supper / log all food / limit snacks ~ unsalted pistachios, apple / 64+ oz. water

3) Treadmill 2+ miles

4) Packers v. Cowboys 3:30

wow, what an exciting game! on to next! / read / digital declutter / other? not really

JFT 1/15 M
1) Not sure about supper, leftovers or maybe make turkey ole / log all food / limit snacks / 64+ oz. water
2) Treadmill 2+ miles

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
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
visit 1.12-1.13 canceled due to snowstorm
Monthly contact with former colleagues/others, now that I'm retired
1.7.24 HH came over & visited at my invitation

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

JFT. Sunday
1. weigh... not good, but I have to be accountable.

Yes .. I recorded it.. but not good
2. log all food

Don't know why this is something Im not taking the time to do
3. chicken enchilidas for dinner >:)Ended up having leftover potatoes and ham, and a bowl of soup.
4. sew

5. watch movie with hubby. Its so cold downstairs.. so he's lost .. all his hobbies are downstairs. Plan to watch Oppenheimer .. a 3 hr movie

Was a excellent movie .. 3 hrs long, but very worth it.
JFT, Monday, 1/15
1. log ALL food
2. tonite.. fondue chicken with daughter.
3. work on pc boards .. hubby thinks if I build them, he can sell them to generate spending money
4. clean up sewing room. I don't know.. I think I am getting burned out with sewing. I do so much charity sewing ... I need to do something more challenging and fun for myself or friends, rather that just give it all away. Just getting burned out I think. So last nite, looking for KC chiefs or Michigan quilt patterns to try and make one for grandson who graduates in May.
5. watch Barbie movie with hubby. Its so cold downstairs, and hes lost .. so were watching movies. Bad part .. that involves snacking on chips leftover from when grandson visited.
6. scrap off the car .. go to pharmacy to pick up pills
7. no soda ... drink ice tea, but also try and get 8 c. water
