JUST FOR TODAY ....... One day at a time ..... Daily Commitment Thread for 2018

So I had a pretty bad day yesterday. It was a bit chaotic and I just got overwhelmed and frustrated and frustration is such a trigger for me.
My younger sister (not the one who’s been sick) arranged to come down to visit for my birthday and see my kids. Because my girls each have parties on different days this weekend I had suggested that she and my parents pop over to me on the Saturday to see one daughter and I would bring the other for lunch to their place today (Sunday). I had imagined, given that I had lots on yesterday, that it would be them coming over for a coffee or something. But my parents announced they were coming for lunch and bringing food etc and i only had to sort out side dishes. When I got back from taking on child to a party they were here. Had let themselves in and started cooking!
I just got so annoyed because it didn’t feel like I had any choice or control over my own house and my own family birthday celebration! I know that it all comes from a good place and they show their love with big family meals but it makes me feel like a child in my own home. And I didn’t want to have a weekend with two days of heavy eating and it’s hard to avoid now. Will do my best today at their house.
I realise I sound really ungrateful and I’m sure if I were in a slightly more comfortable place with weight maintenance this wouldn’t bother me as much. So I’m trying to let go of it all this morning and make sure I’m not grumpy at their place today....

Today is the 6th anniversary of my Dad’s passing and tomorrow is the 1st Anniversary of my Mom going into a nursing home. I am determined to have a good day and think happy thoughts. Tonight my eldest and I are going to see the holiday train here in my town without the kids. Tomorrow night we are going to go to it in the city with my other daughter and the grands in tow. I thibk this will be perfect. My eldest is named in honour of my Dad so they had a close bond.
I have to do an ornament before I go to the shoe today, so I should get at it.
@farbert don’t let yesterday’s frustration spoil today. This will be the last of the celebrations for your birthday I imagine so you’ll be on track tomorrow!
@mytime6630 - good job on seeing instead of eating!3 -

just two seltzers and i have a raging headache today
4. Log all food

6. Focus on the good also a work in progress
Alright so anxiety is getting to both me and DH. Ill be totally honest with you all...we are both marijuana smokers (legal in our state). Its our version of having a beer after work basically. But with new employement possibly on the horizon we immediately stopped (me just to support dh) so its been about 5 days and although its not a physical addiction, its hard for me to deal with the anxiety without it, and my appetite is also suffering a bit. It's a good exercise in dealing with my emotions without that crutch but it definitely makes the situation a bit more tricky...but nothing good comes easy, right??? Parents are coming over for dinner tonight so the family time will be a nice distraction.
1. Prep snack tray and dessert around 3
2. Make potatoes after dh puts the roast in
3. Be kind and patient
4. Move laundry
5. Empty/fill dishwasher
6. Log all food

I’m right there with you, I have been trying to get my eldest to use it for her anxiety too now that it’s legal here in Canada.
Yes a lot of these ornaments are using my new pencil crayons. I love them!1 -
I just ate 4 pieces of pizza at the craft show. It is cold as the furnace died, there is very few customers and it’s just a crappy day. Hopefully all of the standing and moving due to being cold balances it out!1

Morning all. So back to normality this week without any more celebrations until work Xmas party on Friday. I’m kind of relieved!
Yesterday was a better day emotionally, although I still fell off track with food. But I worked out and have just made peace with it all. There are times when we can be completely focussed on our food and fitness goals and other times where we just have to let go a bit. I’m up a bit weight wise but still in range so I think if I keep up the activity and stay careful on normal days up until Xmas I should be ok.

@Bex953172 Your progress is great!! I can definitely see a difference. Good for you!!
@Snowflake1968 I'm glad you had a good time and got to spend time with your daughter!1 -
@Bex953172 I think we tend to be our own worst critics because I look at your progress pics and see great changes! Very inspiring thank you for sharing!1
-
@Bex953172 's pics this reminded me of a really funny incident with my mother which I thought you'd all appreciate.
(@Bex - the pics are great - there has been such a big change! You should be really proud of yourself!)
I can see a big difference in my own body having lost quite a bit of weight now, and I was telling my mum about this. I was modelling an outfit for her in which it was obvious that I'd lost a lot of weight from my legs (my jeans were basically hanging off me) and I was saying to her "Look at my legs! Aren't they skinny!"
My mother's response: "Well, I wouldn't say they're skinny... I'd say they're 'average sized'"
Mothers... aren't they great for the self-esteem?!
Me and the boyfriend now regularly make jokes about my 'average sized legs'...
(And now average-sized arms, as they have shrunk too!)

DH did it
6. Log all food I'll go back and do it now
7. Drink a glass of water on the hour sooooo dehydrated today!!!
8. Only one slice of pie *
9. Bed by 10 *
*So our tenant got home last night around 9 called over said place smelled like gas and no heat. Ran over, emergency shut off, aired the place out. Thermocouple was acting up when we first started the system in October, so we cleaned it and all was well. So we repeated the cleaning of the thermocouple and fired it back up - seemed to be operating fine. But the gas valve should have shut when the pilot went out and obviously it did not with the smell of gas throughout the house. So we're going to have to get it looked at - we're DIY'ers enough to clean it but I think its time to call the professionals in
That was enough to get my adrenaline pumping so we came back to the house around 10 and I stress ate another piece of pie and didnt get to bed until 11ish - I'm the type of person who NEEDS 8 hours of sleep so I slept in til 7 and got to work later than I wanted to...c'est la vie. I'm so grateful everyone is okay and nothing blew up!!! Dinner with the parents was really great, will have to do that more often.

Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). I no longer weigh myself daily but I peek occasionally. Saturday a.m. weigh-in is my MFP logging day. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
