Height 5'4"

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
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes... wall oven installed 2/26 but no new recipes yet.

- PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
- 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).
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps:
Jan / Feb
- Registered 12.29.23 for Bellin 10K race on 6.8.24 & eligible to have race fee waived ~ rats, no waiver of fee
- Register for my other usual events, and add other possible events
- Always a good idea
- Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in their late 80s and live 85 miles away
canceled visit 1.12-1.13 due to blizzard
canceled visit 1.21-1.22 due Mom's bad cold
Mom's bday visit 1.31 with all siblings, in-laws & aunt
overnight visit 2.12-2.13 / breakfast out with Mom/ladies & aunt, youngest brother stopped over
overnight visit 2.27-2.28 & eldest brother stopped over
planned overnight visit 3.14-3.15 - Monthly contact with former colleagues/others, now that I'm retired

Last week I made protein bars.. they are so good. They are just 3 cups oatmeal, 1 cup protein powder (I used chocolate), 1 cup peanut butter, and 1/2 cup lite syrup. It makes about 12 bars.. and they are good size, take awhile to eat, and keeps me full.
Today I'm working on quilting again. Got the gym in already, which always starts my day out in a good way. The next 3 days weather will be back in the 60s... so I am hoping to get the bike spoke fixed on my bike. That is my goal this year .. to get back to biking again!

@mytime6630
I loved the quilts!!
Also loved the idea of making your own protein bars. I have all them ingredients apart from light syrup. And my peanut butters running low lol.
Do you know how many calories they are per bar?
And how do you make them? Do you just put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix then portion out? Or is there a certain way?1 -
Getting back into it… the weekend went off the rails on several levels. Think best thing to do is just start fresh today.
Goals
No beer after work
Stay under caloric goal
No more than 2 diet sodas
Log all food
At least 30 minutes on trainer after work3 -
Monday is definitely a "Monday". Totally struggled to get up today even though I went to bed early and napped yesterday. This cold is holding on, but no fever or headache so that is a plus!
Did a trade show Saturday at the state capital. Met a lot of senators and representatives. Sunday we took the pup shopping in town to some pet friendly stores. She was a very good pooch!
The weekend was pretty good food wise. Mostly because I was busy and didn't snack much. Tim also made dinner last night, so we didn't go out for the first time in forever. Still haven't put the dining room back together, but the kitchen is done.
Tonight is Spin class and puppy watching/playing. Gia is at daycare today getting a temperament test to see if she can go there for actual daycare Tuesday - Thursday. She is fine at the house, but she can jump the fence and we need to leave access to the back yard for our older dog. Due to his meds he needs out more often than we can get home from work.
JFT Monday
- Up at 6:30
- Take Gia to Daycare Tim took her
- Work by 8:00
- 8:30 Meeting Canceled
- Protein bar for breakfast
- Drink more water
- Meeting from 4:00 - 4:45pm (just scheduled and not convenient)
- Hopefully home by 5:00
- Teach spin at 6:00 (30 minutes from home & I didn't pack a gym bag)
- Home to play with Gia and Elliot
- Left overs for dinner
- Shower
- Bed by 10:00pm

Heres the link @Bex. She has lots of good protein recipes .. and also lots of protein bar recipes. (Theres a apple one I might make) Super easy to make. I put chocolate chips on the first time I made them (per the recipe), but skipped them the 2nd time.
Calorie wise .. if you cut into 16 pieces they are aprox 170 calories. (But I think mine were bigger .. mine were cut into 12 pcs. But .. theres a lot of protein in them, which keeps you fuller longer.
This lady also has a youtube channel .. she has lost 140 pounds, and does a lot of recipes concentrating on high protein.

I've been SO tired lately. Usually I am the one up at 8, and off to the gym to get my blood going. Lately, its hubby up before me. I do think its my extra weight .. I just don't feel as good. SO I really need to buckle down. If I don't change how I eat.. who else will do it for me. Its up to me. Its my own fault.
So today, Monday,
1. log all my food. Keep calories at or below 1400. I did this for one week.. it works. Just keep going
2. concentrate on water. I know I don't drink nearly enough water. Could also be the reason I'm more tired.. I'm dehydrated.. not hungry! Don't eat.. drink water
3. aim for higher protein foods. It works. Higher protein keeps me from feeling hungry and doing mindless grabbing of foods
4. take the time to do these things. It is worth it. It is worth feeling better. Forget about looking better.. feeling better is more important.
Its up to me... If I want to stay the way I am, keep doing what I am doing. If I want to change my weight .. I need to make changes. Only I can do this.2 -

Thanks so much!! I nearly bought some peanut butter and some honey today. I was gonna get honey because when I looked at what syrups we sell over here it's basically just golden syrup, or Canadian maple syrup! I said to Ash "is there such thing as light syrup?" And he said I'm probs best off with honey!
Oh wait we did buy the honey actually. And the peanut butter was a more expensive one because it was an organic one, so it was literally nuts.. and salt. No sugar, no palm oil or any other stuff.
The kind of peanut butter you can give to dogs 😂😂
But I'll have to go back and buy that now lol!!1 -

Log all food✅
At least 30 minutes on trainer after work✅
Got out a little early yesterday so really couldn’t make an excuse not to workout. Think Sara was annoyed at me for that being a priority but right now I need to do these little things for me. Would have been way under caloric goal yesterday but ended up eating a little second dinner. At least it wasn’t candy or junk food. Still was well within goal.
For today more of the same
