    @bex953172 - I called my girls out on their behaviour in front of their friends. Sometimes the friends needed it too. After a while the friends invited the other girl to play too. It’s a tightrope raising them. I really didn’t like ages 9-13 or so. They want to be a kid and a teen and they really push their boundaries and you can’t speak to them without a meltdown, but this too shall pass and you’ll have wonderful teens that come to you.

    Sorry Ash’s Mom is so sick, a difficult time for all of you.

    We had Rodger’s party yesterday. Most of the attendees were the girls friends from their teen years. They are all such amazing people.

    JFT - Sat Jan 11
    Log all food - 🙂
    Drink 1L water - 😕 closer though
    Move 20 Minutes - 🙂

    JFT - Sun Jan 12
    Log all Food
    Drink 1L of water
    Move 20 minutes

    Thanks for your advice. I think next time I will be telling her off in front of friends. I always end up feeling guilty though and Ash says I shouldnt be!

    We went to visit his mum again today and she was looking much much better today, which was a relief and she's hopefully going to be out the hosp again soon :)

    This has been one hell of a week! And I don't think I can rectify the calorie situation at this point!

    Thankfully Ash stopped me snacking again last night. I had one bar and asked him to to pass me another and he said maybe I shouldnt and to think of my calories. He said he won't stop me if I really want it but he said you'll be upset if you do!
    And he was right. I sulked a little 😂 but he was right and after I had logged the rest of yesterday I'm SO glad I didn't because it was already bad enough!

    So I have a couple of days until my second week is finished. And Im going to make sure these are good days.

    It's 1 week out of 52. My first week was great, my second was abysmal, but I still have 50 more chances to make good choices!

    Also need to start drinking more.
    Went from 500ml/day to 1.25L/day and I'm back to drinking around 500ml again 🙄

    My eating last week was not good. It makes me realize how bad I have gotten out of control.. with mindless eating and grazing. Why is it so hard.
    So today, even though its only 12 degrees out, I went to the gym. that always starts my day off good, and makes me not want to ruin it by eating junk.
    Breakfast was eggs mixed with cottage cheese, and strawberries. Lots of protein. If you guys haven't tried this.. it is so good! just scrambled eggs, and mix in cottage cheese.
    So today my goals are to think before I eat! And, carry my water bottle with me all day to get in my water!
    JFT, Monday, 1/13
    1. log all food. Be aware. Write it down!! No more grazing and mindlessly putting stuff in my mouth!
    2. concentrate on high protein, lower carbs, and low sugar
    3. concentrate on water!!! Carry my water with me all day to remind me

    @Bex -- your post resonated with me. Like you, my week last week was not good. But you reminded all of us.. it is just one week. There are 52 weeks in the year ... 50 more chances to make good choices!! So I'm going to not think about what I did wrong last week other than to make me realize how to change those behaviors!
    I am so glad Ash's mother is doing better.

    Didn't post for a few days. No real reason, just not much to report. I'm a bit under the weather today, looks like I finally caught hubby's cold. Fever, sore throat & cough, oh my! Still not bad enough to stay home from work, just bad enough to be annoying and make me tired. V needs me to help with her resume later which is tough being that she is 19 and has very little work experience. I took a first pass at it, but there wasn't much to add.

    JFT Monday
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - Stay in office and not share cold :smiley:
    - PB crackers for lunch :smiley:
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - Home by 4:30
    - Nap
    - Resume Help
    - Dinner
    - Trivia ?
    - Limit 2 lite beers
    - Home by 10:00

    Recap 1/12 Sunday ~ A little snow fell overnight, turned to light mist this morning, so slippery roads. Fortunately, all major streets have been treated with road salt, only have to really watch it on the side streets like our neighborhood.
    1) Church 9:00 :smiley:
    2) Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ counted out the mini pretzel twists & 1 mini peppermint candy cane so pretty good / log all food / net calories zero ~ ok at -13 / 80 oz. water ~ yes :smiley:
    3) Min. 5000 steps only 4579 / PT exercises? :# a lazy day overall, I even dozed early afternoon while watching TV
    4) Wash dishes / Packers v Eagles game 3:30 ~ well, that was disappointing, but not unexpected (at least by me) / read / digital declutter / other? started grocery list :smiley: TA-DA!

    JFT 1/13 M ~ Windy day (not as bad as @ZizzyBumble) and sunny out, but temp only 6F at noon and wind chill is -10. Wearing my warmest winter layers when I have to go anywhere.
    1) Bake ham & butternut squash (last one) for supper / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
    2) Min. 5000 steps / PT exercises or treadmill?
    3) Put away clean dishes / call Mom / choir rehearsal 6:30 / read / digital declutter / other?

    Had my blood draw/labs and annual physical at 8 a.m. today. Since side roads were icy from yesterday's weather & temp drop, and I needed to warm up car engine before driving, I had to get up extra early. That was hard because, since retiring, hubby and I have reverted to our night owl instincts. I pulled vehicle out of garage at 7:09 a.m. and arrived at medical office with 15 minutes to spare. Happy that all my results were good, with cholesterol a little high. But since my HDL (good) cholesterol is high, my HDL/LDL ratio is in the very good range and no meds necessary. However, I discussed my recent finger laceration & continuing issues with doctor, and she's referring me to an orthopedic specialist. Woohoo. Well, at least I'll get some answers.

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

    2025 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... always better for me
    • Try new recipes Repeat goal, and very pleased with last year.
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x):
    January: 5 days x1wk; 4x1
    • 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
      Jan 2x;
    4) MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,025km challenge started on Jan. 1
    • In 2024 I logged 656.61 miles, or 1,056.74 km & completed yearly challenge 12.10.24 :star: {finger laceration & 9 stitches 11.22.24 with only 10.36 mi to go... oops}
    • 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 w/ arthritis}.
    5) At least 7,500 steps per day
    • I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 5,000 steps:
    6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
    • Register for Bellin 10K race
    • Register for Packers 5K
    • Maybe Annual Bridge Walk on The Mighty Mac w/ siblings (1st time 2024)
    • Register for Bellin Women's 5K
    • Add other events??? [Of my past events, two that I loved ended with COVID, another is on parkway trails/hills that involve rocks, tree roots & steep climb at the end, too hard on my arthritic knees. Another is an evening event in January, but hubby is home evenings now that he's retired, so I'm less inclined, and another winter (mid-Feb.) event has been replaced in 2025 by another earlier in Feb. The winter ones can be hard on my knees because of frigid temps, plus footing can be an issue (snow/ice) and I no longer care to participate. Wow, that's 5 events I no longer do. Sad me. Upside is the cost savings, as entry fees are higher than ever.]
    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 ~ Mom is nearly 88, Dad 90, and live 85 miles away
      ~ planned overnight visit 1.15-1.16
    • Monthly contact with former colleagues & other friends, now that I'm retired
      1.8.25 lunch planned with "real" ABC old-timers
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office, basement, books in living room... ongoing with me

    My Word for the Year 2025: Judicious ~ I just like the way the word sounds, and the meaning is right for me: having or showing reason and good judgment in making decisions. I can apply this word in so many ways!

    Hello JFTers! I finally caught up reading the new thread. I can't believe it's already the 13th of January and I'm just now posting in the new 2025 JFT. Everytime I logged in and caught up, it was too late to post so I'd tell myself "tomorrow morning, I will...." blah, blah, blah, and then I'd forget!

    So many people I'd like to reply to, but I didn't write everything down, so I'll just say hugs and prayers to those going through tough times and smiles for everyone's wins!

    @Bex953172 I'm glad to hear Ash's mom looked better. I'm so sorry for all you're going through there. It's going to be a rollercoaster for awhile. Also, my teen daughter got mouthier when her friends were around too. I put a kabosh on that in front of her friends real quick. I think it embarrassed her because when I finally snapped, it wasn't pretty. :wink: Good luck with that!

    @pridesabtch Your mom and my mom should hang out....oh wait--they can't because they both want everyone to come to them. Seriously, when you write about your mom, it could be me writing about mine. I feel your pain....

    @more_freggies76 I'm thinking about you and praying you and your home are okay! It's just horrible to see the destruction from the fires. It's all my husband has had on the TV since they started (except yesterday during the Green Bay Packers game, of course). I'm hoping you are no longer in danger but I'm glad you are packed and ready to evacuate quickly if you need to. (((hugs)))

    @mytime6630 Thank you for the new thread! Your scrambled eggs with cottage cheese actually sounds good. I'm going to have to try that when I get over my current oatmeal kick. Good to hear your daughter is getting around easier too!

    @cschmitz110515 Glad you are getting in to see ortho. Better to be safe than sorry and get it healed asap so you can be ready to play in the dirt when it warms up this spring, right? Winter has just begun and I'm over it already! Too many friends posting on facebook about their cruises and trips to the beach...i'm getting jealous! lol It's very cold here today. Tim took Maddie for a walk earlier and only went around the block...He said the thermometer out our window said 18F so he thought it wouldn't be so bad, but then he felt that -10F wind chill and brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

    @Snowflake1968 How are you liking your new job? I can't believe how big your grands are now! Time sure goes by fast. Did you do any craft shows over Christmas this year? Are you still doing those?

    @bex953172 - you are so smart about this being one week out of 52.

    @pridesabtch - feel better soon.

    @mytime6630 - the grazing is really doing me in too.

    @packerfaninGB - I did do some craft shows this year. I don’t know if I’ll do them again next year or not, they are a lot of work and I miss out on things I like to do around the holidays.
    My Grands are both growing like weeds.
    I mostly like my new job, the people are good. The corporate side of it I’m not liking very much. I’m not looking for anything else, but if something were to fall in my lap I would seriously give it consideration.

    I’m heading to bed early tonight. It’s not quite 9 and I usually aim for 10 or a little after. I’m just quite tired. I feel like I’m fighting something.
    I was actually going to go about 20 minutes ago, but decided to post first.

    Not happy about the slow rate of weight loss. However I am happy about the positive changes I've made. I no longer comfort eat chocolate, and I haven't eaten in my bedroom once since I've been alone in the house again. Although I've been over calories some days, I've never been near my maintenance limit. And last night I cooked a proper meal with veg and chicken (with 2 portions in the freezer for later).
    Very true that we're just at the beginning of the year. I'm not going to expect too much from January, as I have several events out which will involve cake and celebrations. But I will keep up with the better habits. It's really only 2 more weeks until January is over!

    JFT Tuesday

    Stay in the green

    @bex953172 ~ your attitude is exactly right! You have 50 more chances to make good choices, and you will!! :)

    @mytime6630 ~ nice recovery. You are now mindful AND have a plan! You got this!

    @pridesabtch ~ I hope you feel better. It's terrible when you see your spouse get sick and know...you're next!

    @cschmitz110515 ~ kudos to good results from the blood draw!! Funny that you've become night owls after retirement. I can see how that could happen. My husband retired last year and I just went to part-time last August. When I don't have t work the next day...my nights ARE later than usual!

    Well, now FIL is in emergency. Going to eat lunch early, so I don't feel hungry while we're at hospital. Don't want to eat crap, either.

    One of these days I can get back to my regular patterns!

    Having a nice healthy brunch; much better than what I could get anywhere near the hospital!

    Not so good yesterday. I ate pretty healthy food, but went way over my calorie goals. I sat most of the day with my husband watching tv. Very unproductive and it sure felt like a waste of the day. I can’t seem to get my butt in gear this week. When at first you don’t succeed… try, try again. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    @Bex953172 Glad you submitted for an eval! Good luck with Marley’s, as well as your own! ❤️

    My eating last week was not good. It makes me realize how bad I have gotten out of control.. with mindless eating and grazing. Why is it so hard.

    JFT, Monday, 1/13
    1. log all food. Be aware. Write it down!! No more grazing and mindlessly putting stuff in my mouth! :)
    2. concentrate on high protein, lower carbs, and low sugar :)
    3. concentrate on water!!! Carry my water with me all day to remind me :)

    Ha.. I think I discovered how to drink more water... make spicy food!! I made chicken enchilidas... a new recipe.. and they were so spicy! Hubby loved them... but I think I drank like 4 large glasses of water. Maybe I have a new strategy to get me to drink more water.. and eat less LOL!!
    But.. it was a better day yesterday.
    Today, again, super cold out, so I skipped the gym. But had a high protein breakfast, and eating cottage cheese and blueberries now for lunch. Dinner will be leftovers again.. so ha.. I'll get my water in today!
    JFt, Tues, 1/14
    1. log all food
    2. concentrate on water
    3. work on crochet. I'm just trying to make a simple hat.. any suggestions! Ive watched so many youtube videos. I think my yarn is not a good choice.. I have trouble finding the loops! So I think I'll go back to my other yarn.. and just make dishcloths for now.. mindless work, and a good way to practice the stitches.

    @littleblackskirt -Great job in making positive changes! The numbers on the scale are only a small part of getting healthy.. its the healthy choices we make. Great job!

    @Bex.. so happy you are in the process of a diagnosis. Knowing is everything to getting better. Hugs to you ! We are here for you girl!

    @itladyee -- you are doing great! When I look at your spoiler.. I see a lot of green checkmarks!!

    @more_freggies76 - please let us know how you are doing? I feel so bad for all infected by these wildfires.. I just can't imagine. Praying you stay safe! Also, saying prayers for you FIL. I agree... hospitals have awful food.

    @pridesabtch - hope you are starting to feel better, and can go home and take that nap. There is a lot of sickness going on right now it seems.. crazy winter weather! We are back and forth... super cold today (highs in the 20s), then 2 days of 40 degrees.. then back to 19!

    @PackerFanInGB-- glad to see you back posting! I had a lazy, unproductive "day: all week it seems! I don't like no sunshine and cold.. makes me not be motivated to do anything! But you know.. why is it that we think we have to be productive everyday. We earned the right to have a quiet day lol!! I think its our mindset that we have to always be doing something! Hubby tells me that all the time.. that its OK to just sit and watch tv, or sit and not do anything!

    Busy day, just now sitting at computer.

    @Bex953172 (((HUGS))) Wishing for the best results for you and Marley!

    Recap 1/13 M ~ Windy day (not as bad as @ZizzyBumble) and sunny out, but temp only 6F at noon and wind chill is -10. Wearing my warmest winter layers when I have to go anywhere.
    1) Bake ham & butternut squash (last one) for supper ~ yum! / limit snacks & sweets ~ counted out mini pretzels, apple, string cheese / log all food / net calories zero ~ not so good at -420 (no activity calories) / 80 oz. water ~ 64 :s
    2) Min. 5000 steps ~ 6500 :smiley: / PT exercises or treadmill? just felt lazy & nice to sit
    3) Put away clean dishes / call Mom <3 / choir rehearsal 6:30 / read / digital declutter / other? texts with sister <3:smiley: TA-DA!

    JFT 1/14 T ~ Let dog out this morning when thermometer read -1F. Wind is very cold again. Looking forward to high temps above freezing forecast for Thurs. & Fri. but then we return to the deep-freeze Sun. - Tues. Oh well, winter in Wisconsin.
    1) Make scalloped potatoes & ham for supper / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
    2) Min. 5000 steps / PT exercises ~ done :smiley:
    3) LWML meeting 1:00 ~ shortest one ever! / gas in vehicle & air in tires (with hubby) ~ done & took dog for ride LOL / pack for overnight visit to folks tomorrow, including winter walking clothes for going with aunt / prep gift book for youngest brother & his wife / replace car ins. card with new one / read / digital declutter / other?

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

    2025 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... always better for me
    • Try new recipes Repeat goal, and very pleased with last year.
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x):
    January: 5 days x1wk; 4x1
    • 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
      Jan 3x;
    4) MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,025km challenge started on Jan. 1
    • In 2024 I logged 656.61 miles, or 1,056.74 km & completed yearly challenge 12.10.24 :star: {finger laceration & 9 stitches 11.22.24 with only 10.36 mi to go... oops}
    • 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 w/ arthritis}.
    5) At least 7,500 steps per day
    • I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 5,000 steps:
    6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
    • Register for Bellin 10K race
    • Register for Packers 5K
    • Maybe Annual Bridge Walk on The Mighty Mac w/ siblings (1st time 2024)
    • Register for Bellin Women's 5K
    • Add other events??? [Of my past events, two that I loved ended with COVID, another is on parkway trails/hills that involve rocks, tree roots & steep climb at the end, too hard on my arthritic knees. Another is an evening event in January, but hubby is home evenings now that he's retired, so I'm less inclined, and another winter (mid-Feb.) event has been replaced in 2025 by another earlier in Feb. The winter ones can be hard on my knees because of frigid temps, plus footing can be an issue (snow/ice) and I no longer care to participate. Wow, that's 5 events I no longer do. Sad me. Upside is the cost savings, as entry fees are higher than ever.]
    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 ~ Mom is nearly 88, Dad 90, and live 85 miles away
      ~ planned overnight visit 1.15-1.16
    • Monthly contact with former colleagues & other friends, now that I'm retired
      1.8.25 lunch planned with "real" ABC old-timers
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office, basement, books in living room... ongoing with me

    My Word for the Year 2025: Judicious ~ I just like the way the word sounds, and the meaning is right for me: having or showing reason and good judgment in making decisions. I can apply this word in so many ways!

    We've been watching it on the news.. it is so very very sad and unbelievable. Hubby got where he can turn into the local LA station. We have good friends living in Bueno Park.. they are OK. Saying prayers that you stay safe!
