Another cold day here, not as cold as some, but not comfortable either. 5F when I left for work this morning. Hubby suggested I stay home today because I still feel and sound awful, but there is a 1:00 meeting I need to attend. It's about raises for my people and if I'm not there money could be reallocated and screw my folks. I plan on leaving after the meeting. Not sure what I'll do until 1:00pm. There are some tasks I need to finish, but I just am not sure I'm mentally up to doing them. I am so very tired. Hubby took the pup to doggie daycare today so I could rest when I get home. There is no resting if he is kenneled all day, not that I blame him, but tiring him out at daycare is way better for all of us.

Posting goals late because my iPad doesn’t want to open the MFP app lately. It took me an hour of trying before it finally loaded! Anyone else having this issue? I’m guessing my iPad is getting old or something…ugh.
Didn’t get much done again yesterday. I sure do struggle with motivation during the cold winter months…. When I was working, I had to leave the house to go to work and I think it helped a lot. I’m happy to be retired, but I sure don’t have anything pushing me to get off my butt anymore, especially since my husband is sitting and watching tv a lot this winter also. I need to at least push myself to do some of my hobbies, because otherwise I get inside my head too much about medical stuff going on and I get anxious. I handle it better when I keep busy. Friday I have CT scans again to make sure I’m still in remission, and it always throws me into a bit of a funk. After this set of scans, they are moving me out to an every 6 month schedule versus the every 3 month schedule I’ve been on, so that’s encouraging at least!
@mytime6630 I’m trying to teach myself to crochet for when I want to do something at night in my chair. Have you known how to crochet for a long time, or did you learn from YouTube? I thought I’d start with dishcloths so I could make my own versus buy them at craft shows, but I have to learn how first. I was able to get my first little row but then struggled to find the holes to crochet the second row. 😊
@more_freggies76 Glad you’re doing okay. I said a prayer for your FIL. Hope he bounces back soon. 🙏❤️
@pridesabtch Feel better soon! ❤️

I’m so tired this week. Having trouble taking the time to post, but I’m doing it anyway.

Not logged for 2 maybe 3 days! Really annoyed at that.
And I can't even remember when my new week started! Can't remember if that's today or yesterday?!
Saskias birthday weekend just wiped me out. And then even since that we've been really busy only to have her friend sleep over again last night because I'm taking her out today for her day out. It was fully booked on the weekend so had to do a week day. But Casey's been up at 4am with earache. I managed to get her back to sleep until 6 and that was okay because shops were open for medicine.
But Saskia was essentially bullying my neighbours daughter last night when she was round playing with Marley. I was already aware of some glaring looks but her mum text me a few hours after being home explaining the extent of it and how I didn't send her friend home there and then I don't know.
Saskia doesn't know what's gonna hit her the second her friends gone home though! But she's losing all privileges.
I can't believe it and I can at the same time!
So my only goal for today is to survive. I have to take these two to a P.Louise Make up Empire. Apparently Paris Fury went there at Christmas. I've been in to book tickets and it's so F-ing girly and over the top and I'm gonna hate every second of it 😂
Logging recommences tomorrow, why give myself the stress!

Late getting on here today. It's been a busy morning. I started feeling better yesterday afternoon, so I decided to go to trivia after all. As is typical our team was in first going into the last question and then missed the final. It was good though. Kim brought Tim cupcakes for his birthday. His birthday is tomorrow, but we have a habit of celebrating at trivia. Week after next our "Team Captain" turns 84. He doesn't drink but he is a glutton when it comes to food. I weighs maybe 140lb, but boy can he put it away! He was also a finalist on the American TV show "Worst Cooks in America" where Alton Brown was his mentor. Pretty cool guy.
I'm feeling much better today, only a residual cough when I go out in the cold air. Such is life with asthma.
Work has been very busy up until now, but now it's slowing down a bit. Will likely do some shopping this afternoon/evening for an "country & western" outfit for a dinner cruise I'm taking Tim on tomorrow night. It's a 2 hour boat ride, but it's like 10F outside, so we're not exactly going to leave the hold where the show is. Hopefully it isn't crowded. Semi-slutty with fringe? Maybe an off the shoulder something with jeans and boots. Will probably forgo the cowboy hat. That is a bit much, lol. Think I'll try to shop on-line and pick up in store after work to save time. Also need to go to mom's for my tri-weekly b!tch fest. After that, Tim and I will likely go out to dinner. Don't plan on staying out late even though I took tomorrow off. There is a lot to get done around the homestead tomorrow because we are having friends over Saturday evening for chili and games.

My FB post this evening:
I’m watching the new Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and they’re doing the reveal.
The designer says, what do you think of this mid century style chair.
The homeowner says, I love them they remind me of my grandparents.
We had these chairs when we were first married. Now I feel old!

I was under calories until I ate a small chocolate bar in the evening. My son was about 5 hours late picking up his dog from me. Not a problem in itself, I have the dog most days, but it gets me twitchy when I don't get a message to say he'll be late. And I react by eating something! Good thing, it was the last choc bar in the packet so can't do it again.

Several days no posting, due to my overnight visit to my parents' house. Back to it today though.
JFT 1/17 F ~ Very blustery wind today, but at least not as cold.
1) Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water

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
- Try new recipes Repeat goal, and very pleased with last year.
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;
- In 2024 I logged 656.61 miles, or 1,056.74 km & completed yearly challenge 12.10.24
{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
- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km {knee issues w/ arthritis}.
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 5,000 steps:
Jan /
- 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.]
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
~ overnight visit 1.15-1.16 / talked w/ aunt (phone); played cribbage & chicken foot - Monthly contact with former colleagues & other friends, now that I'm retired
1.8.25 lunch planned with "real" ABC old-timers
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!0 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.1

REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be more than
2 lbs a day for no apparent reason. - A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
