@HappyDonkey75 (((Hugs))) for work as well. Also been there, done that. On my last job, I had an aSSt. manager that thought she knew what I was doing on a major special project, for which I did not report directly to her. Since she only knew a piece of what I was doing, she (who really disliked that I was the most credentialed, experienced person in the dept) took the opportunity to downgrade most of my annual review ratings. I refused to sign (due that same day by 4 p.m. geez... very typical at this workplace) until I met with our manager. The manager, aSSt. manager & my special project manager all sat in a room and listened to me explain the entire situation. Once my manager heard my explanations, she upgraded each of my ratings, except one. I think she felt she needed to support my aSSt. manager on at least one. But I was pissed off, because I too busted my *kitten* and they had no clue. (P.S. The review had no impact on my salary either way, but it was the principle of the matter that was important to me.)
Got home this afternoon driving from my parents' house, with snow falling and on the roads the entire way. Not so fun, but other drivers were being decent for the most part.
Recap 2/11 T ~ Another bitterly cold, dry day. Enjoying the sun while I can.
1) Supper is unknown, since I'll eat at my folks' but log best guess / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water ~ Dad insisted I eat some of my SIL's cake she made for Mom's bday, same as for her dad, who has dietary restrictions. We both agreed cake rather bland, so we ate with ice cream LOL. Then I snacked on mixed nuts late in the evening, which offset my healthy apple snack earlier. Oops. A red net calorie day, not unexpected. Water was close at 64 oz.
2) Planned rest day / min. 5000 steps ~ only 3600
/ OT exercises 
plus stretches while sitting & visiting
JFT 2/12 W ~ Snowy day. Made the drive home interesting (and longer).
1) Log Dad's homemade noon meal to best guess / sloppy joes for supper / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / 80 oz. water
2) Another rest day? Maybe PT exercises later / OT exercises & stretches
3) Pre-reg for OT appt tomorrow / there's a bunch of things on my to-do list, so do something

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.
* apple/banana muffins {foodfaithfitness.com} ~ better if I'd used correct amt of vanilla LOL
* apple/banana cake w/ cream cheese frosting {thesouthernladycooks.com} ~ made for Mom's bday, big hit
* slow cooker chicken noodle soup {purewow.com} ~ very easy to make & tasty
January: 5 days x1wk; 4x2; 2x1; 1x1 {weather, overnight trip, bdays & prep}
February: 4 days x1wk;- 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

- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km {knee issues w/ arthritis}.

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.]
- Registered for 4.26.25 NFL Draft Day 5K
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 88, Dad 90, and live 85 miles away
~ overnight visit 1.15-1.16 / talked w/ aunt (phone); played cribbage & chicken foot
~ visit along with hubby & family for Mom's 88th bday 1.31 / C&J, S, W, aunt, niece & W there for wonderful time
~ overnight visit 2.11-2.12 / aunt visited day 1 afternoon / youngest brother visited morning day 2 - Monthly contact with former colleagues & other friends, now that I'm retired

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!
Thanks for sharing your story. I am glad you were able to win back some of that. I didnt even get a chance to state my case.. super annoying because mine is tied to salary and annual bonus. I will be talking to my manager about going forward making sure I am not taking on the majority of thw ork and not getting recognized for it with compensation because at the end of the day we all work for our paychecks!

Happy Saturday! I feel like we’re in a snow globe today. Big flakes coming down. It started last night and it supposed to snow until around 6 pm tonight. It’s pretty I guess…brightens things up even when it’s cloudy, that’s for sure. But we already had a bunch of snow and now we will have another 6”. At least it go up to 30° F. It’s been wicked cold here…. 🥶❄️
Yesterday I had lab tests done for cardiology appointment. I haven’t had cholesterol levels checked since 2021. My levels were all good at that time. I’ve never had cholesterol issues…until now! All my levels are high, and not just a little. So I guess I’ll see what cardiologist says on Monday. I’m hoping they will let me try to make some lifestyle changes for a few months and then recheck before putting me on meds. I’m on so many meds already. 😬🤞
Just for Today:
1. No BS 24H plan and assess
2. 64 oz water before 7 pm
3. Close activity rings on watch, 30 min cardio, 10 reps strength with light weights.
4. Make a nice big pot of Minestrone soup. Batch cook rice, pasta and prep some veggies for easy sautés or salad bar.
5. MFP: Update JFT. Log my food. Complete Food Diary at end of day.
6. Home Love...dust,
7. Read one chapter in new book. 30 minutes in my sewing sanctuary. 5 things declutter. #2025DeclutterChallenge with JGIDQ (15 m). Bible app plan. No BS something...podcast, camp video or course.
8. Bedtime routine. Get ready earlier. Wind down early tonight.
#2025: Consistency. Health. Strength. Peace.

@cschmitz110515- we were so cold and now tons of snow.. Been snowing all weekend so I have gotten in some extra cardio pushing snow around. The month of february is always one of the hardest for me.
@PackerFanInGB- I am glad you went and got checked out. Nothing to mess around with. Time to start taking care of you and your health! Hope the cardiologist has some answers for you. I read an article recently about women often have multiple heart attacks and never even know it . That is crazy to me.

eating light today
(went to dinner last night and it didn't agree with me)
The scale jumped up a couple numbers this past week and I'm feeling like I am spiraling a bit. I am slipping on food choices because I am not prepping my meals as much so.. Today I prepped. Got some veggies ready to go and just have to cook some meat tonight when we cook our regular dinner.
I started HRT (estradiol patch) a week ago and wow I am feeling better within only a few days. Hot flashes and nightsweats have been mostly gone for the last three nights and my energy has been improved. I hope it continues but I also hope the weight gain isnt from the hormones. It was the main reason I waited so long to get on them, but I could not take the symptoms any longer. I just need to give things some time and see if it all levels out.

Weekend was good. Friday Tim took me to a nice dinner at my favorite restaurant and then we went bowling. Funny side note: I was wearing leather like pants and got really hot bowling. There was a brief moment in the bathroom where I felt like Ross on Friends. IYKYK. Saturday I taught spin and got my hair done. Then took my mom shopping before heading home. Spent a lazy evening at home dog sitting my "niece". Sunday was church and lunch. It was snowing pretty good so Tim picked up a few things to make chicken noodle soup. Yummo! We stayed in and watched the 2nd half of Dune on Netflix. He swears I saw it in the theater with him, but I don't think so. I think he must have gone solo.
Today is work, I forgot my soup at home, so I have a rumbly tummy. It's my Monday to teach spin class. I'm so out of shape that it's tough even if I cheat a little on the tension. Not good. Spin class has always been my jam, now I'm almost embarrassed to be there. Anyway, I always feel better after.
****Just got a text from my youngest. She was accepted into the study abroad in Hong Kong for fashion next year. Only 5 kids get this opportunity. I am so excited for her, and more than a little nervous.*****
Tomorrow I get to go visit Merlin and have an early dinner with my daughter. Starting the week off on a positive note!

Not had the greatest week!
Hit legs last Friday. But gave up half way through the gym session, I was just too tired to continue! So I packed up my stuff and waited upstairs in the hotel lobby/restaurant area for Ash to finish because I didn't want him to finish his early because of me!
Either way, the small amount I did do on my legs absolutely broke them and it's only today when they've not been sore 😂.
That same Friday we picked up the kids from school and all the teacher were like "have a great half term" lol me and ash were like "huh what? "
Had NO idea it was half term already! So had to nip out and pick up some lunches for the week because we had already been food shopping!
Marley's been unwell too, had a cough for about 2 weeks but then she starting vomiting from the coughing and as it was showing no sign of improvement I decided to take her GP where she now has antibiotics. So hopefully she should be back to her normal self! She actually seems fine but I know full well she's running low on energy because she keeps throwing up her food!
And my food choices have been rubbish!
I've been so mindless.
I've logged, but poorly
Some days I logged the day afterwards, or I've forgotten what snacks I've had so even though I've logged every day I can't be sure of it's accuracy and it's already in the red so I wonder how bad I've ACTUALLY been
anyway will post my spreadsheet tomorrow after ive lpgged today. But it isn't pretty.
Really want to hit a week full of green because I'm starting to feel miserable about my progress but I know it's because I'm not putting in the work.0 -
@pridesabtch Thanks for the image of you with the "Ross" trousers, made me laugh Congratulations to your daughter, what an opportunity.
@Snowflake1968 If I got temperatures like yours I think I'd have to move lol. I just don't want to go outside, it's the cold wind I hate.
@Bex953172 Made me smile at your surprise it was school holidays again. Here the half term starts tomorrow, so I'll be doing child care for the rest of the week.
I'm a little bit annoyed that I'll have to miss a meeting at a ladies club I've joined. It wasn't easy for me to join a group full of strangers by myself, so it's a shame to miss it.littleblackskirt wrote: »
