JUST FOR TODAY -- One Day at a Time .... Daily commitment thread for 2019

@Bex953172 - Hugs to you. Do you have anyone you can talk to about how you are feeling? You have been so strong for so long I totally understand how you could be so down now. I suffer the most after I'm out of a stressful situation, it's like my body says, "OK, things are good, I have time to shut down and make you rest now". My depression shows up as anger, I am angry at the world and no one should be in my path. I also get lose all energy and don't find pleasure in anything. It took me a long time to recognize this in myself. I hope you do have someone to talk to and if you don't that you actively search for someone. Take the time you need to get better.
@wannabeskinnycat - "Haven't been troughing it" It took me a minute to figure out what this meant. That's a good one. Congrats on the win!
@littleblackskirt - LOL that would be a good way to lose, if others could do our workouts for us. I would want a fitness trainer as my workout person. Happy to hear the painkillers are working better for you. It's so nice when the doctor's staff are helpful, I've seen too many that aren't.
@clicketykeys - I hope you get some rest soon. I remember provincial exams, I thought they were the most ridiculous things ever. I never tried on them at all. Now they count towards your marks so I'm sure kids at least attempt to do better.
@cory17 - I have never eaten any of those cuisines, but I bet they do have a higher sodium content because of the spices.
@korina75 - I hope you have a good day today. I think rainy traffic would make me forget to be grateful too.
@aubyshortcake - That is the whole point of this thread, to take it one day at a time. It's better than the old weeks at a time I used to take, meaning "well, I overate today I might as well give up this week and start again next". Those weeks sure dragged on and on. Over 5 years! I was telling my friend last night how much this group has helped me understand that one bad day isn't a reason to let it all go and I think that is what helped me the most this winter and allowed me to maintain even if I didn't lose a pound. Well, I lost and gained the same 2-3 pounds all winter long to be honest.
@daneejela - That is not crazy at all. He should have something exclusive to you. I love my MIL too, she is a wonderful lady and another one I want to be like when I grow up, but I would lose it if my husband ever tried anything like that. I think when your emotions have calmed down a bit, you should tell him how you feel and see if he can come up with something different for you.
@MLHC1 - Good luck on your exam!
Thank you all for the well wishes on the job, I have figured out transportation and now just need to figure out clothes for it. I am nervous because I want it so bad.
I need to make some breakfast and then tidy up the house. Have a great day everyone.

@Bex953172 haven't seen you last days, I hope you're doing good. Sending you a big hug!
@Snowflake1968 thank you! I intuitively agree with you and I think that I might have been overthinking it.
Ive been doing awfully.
Sometimes i can have a good day, or a REALLY good day.
Followed by 2-3 days of couchlock..
Onnnn Friday? I could feel it coming on, and i kept telling myself "no dont sit down just do this or do that, get that done" then id have a rest and id force myself to get up and try again but in the end it won. I gave up. And spent the whole weekend just being horrible to everyone.
And then when im sat im just thinking, and then the thinking spirals and i manage to convince myself its everyone elses fault and i shout at them?!
And then later i reflect and just feel stupid and have to apologize and then i just feel worse!
@MLHC1 You definitely need a break from the kids. You dont have to explain yourself as if sayjng it is a bad thing! Kids are demanding, they need everything, and its horribly overwhelming!
I was saying to another lady in the school playground because for once she didnt have one of her 3 kids with her (ones an 12 week old baby) i asked her if it felt strange, she said yeah ite really weird not having one with me or the pram or any bags to hold, im amazed at how quick i walked here!!
Hugs hugs hugs
Hugs Bex I'm so sorry you are not feeling well. You have been through so many changes this past year ... maybe it is just your body telling you to slow down a little. With your move, worries about your partner, 3 little girls needing constant care ... time to just take care of Bex. We are here for you ... whenever you want to vent or just get on here and talk. Take good care of you.2 -
So goals today are simple
l. log all food We are getting trees cut down in our yard, so busy with that. Plus, somehow I ended up getting a cold, and just feeling really crappy. So most of the day was sit either sitting or laying down. I hate feeling this way, and I rarely get sick, but must have picked up something. Hubby wanted pizza again, but I ordered myself a salad, and stopped at just 3 pieces of pizza (but they were very small pizza squares)
concentrate on water Really bad at my water again ... have to get out that red cup!
go out for a walk since I skipped the gym Just not feeling good at all .. spent the nite in bed watching Tv.
get back on here everyday ... be accountable.
JFT, Thurs
1`. log all food
2.concentrate on water
3. rest so I feel better
I don't have the time to go back and read all the posts ... but did see @snowflake .... good luck with the job interview! And great news on Rogers promotion! Hopefully things will start to change for the better for you .. you've been through a lot this year.4 -

YAY!! Good luck!2 -
Recap 5/8 Happy hump day!
1) Walked dog before work & saw/heard bunch of turkeys in the usual area, heard cardinals, blue jays, red winged blackbirds, geese among other birds / 3.53 mi 1:05:28 / stretched after = happy dog & happy me
2) Usual breakfast, lunch & snacks prelogged / decided on brown rice & eggrolls for supper and prelogged / have a little wiggle room but don't go overboard / net cals zero / 14c water = After supper ate 1 power muffin & 2 Hershey miniatures... not as bad as recent days. Net cals -105 , sodium -477, sugar -1 yay, fiber low-ish, protein ok, 14c water
3) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 15,491 steps, 250+ 14/14 boom! & 40 floors
4) Complete at least 3 of 21 folders & corresponding compliance rate sheet = Not as planned but progress. Got access issue w/ KeyWatcher resolved after 4 phone calls & emailed questionnaire I did not realize during observation phase that I needed. PY someone did not bring forward certain documentation so I'm flailing a little to do it right this year.
5) Evening: mail cards/other on way home & rain did not pour until I was almost home / fold & put away upstairs line-dried laundry almost forgot / bake Kodiak Cake power muffins (use up 2 really ripe bananas) double batch since I incorrectly creamed double the butter with the brown sugar ~ ok bc co-workers always like food / wash dishes? yes other? little decluttering done
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / set/verify alarm for 6, BED & TV OFF 10:20 in bed & NO TV 10p.m. & fell asleep right away ~ yay! (rain forecast so x-train before work R)
JFT 5/9 R ~ Rainy, foggy day
1) X-trained [weights/circuit] before work & muscles getting more definition = happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
3) Prelogged usual breakfast, lunch & snacks / supper w/ BFF trying new restaurant that specializes in meals from 12 local farms, several brewers, a fishery, coffee roaster & bakery, all local ~ which I love to support ~ preview menu online / net cals w/i -100 / 14c water
4) Progress on GA-B / change password for chapter email & let back-ups know
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set/verify 5:40 alarm, bed & tv off 10:20 (walk dog before work F)3 -

Kind of late getting on here. I over slept for the first time in ages. Almost called off work, but I didn't want to call medical, I didn't want to waste my vacation and I'm mostly just tired and dehydrated. Tuesday I thought I was better. Yesterday it was back. I still don't have an appetite, but I did eat dinner. Just things I like the taste of which isn't very healthy. Any way, other than feeling very run down, the day was good.

@lafayettenana I hope the surgery went well. Take it easy and do your therapy exercise. You will thank yourself in the long run.
@cschmitz110515 Great job deciding it was time to buckle down. I usually don't come to that conclusion until I feel like I've gone too far.
@Snowflake1968 : Your weight is going the right direction (Outstanding). You have a shot at a great job (good luck), and Roger's career my be taking off (awesome). Best of luck and I'm really happy for you.
@Bex953172 : I get the overwhelming situation you are experiencing and I wish I had an answer that would pull you out of it, but I've never found one. For me it just has to run its course until I can get up the energy to force myself to do something. Once I start participating in my life again, I'm almost to the top of the pit I've been stuck in. I mean I would do things that absolutely had to be done, but I'd not really be a part of it. Maybe think of something you used to enjoy and just go do it. You may not enjoy it like you used to, but maybe it can get you on the right track. Much love and a virtual hug.
@aubyshortcake You've got this! Just keep setting these little goals and fighting to meet them. I totally believe you can do this.
@daneejela First of all congrats on the stellar weight loss. Secondly there is nothing wrong with not wanting to share a term of endearment with your MIL. It actually kind of creepy. It's fun to joke around and be flirty, but not when someones feelings are hurt. Sit down and talk to DH and tell him you love that he likes to joke around with you. I sounds like its one of the ways you know he loves you. However, telling him that you'd rather him not use the same phrases for you and his mom. You love his mom, but you are his wife. Just a thought.
@MLHC1 Best of luck with your final exams. I totally stress over that stuff.

Big hugs to those struggling right now. I’m feeling a real urge to dive into the snacks tonight but so far I’m resisting - and jumping on here to try and keep myself on track. I’m not hungry, and I know I’ll regret it in the morning.
Joining in the shout-outs to @maryrobinson40 and also waving hi 👋 to a few others I haven’t seen for a while, @toaljasa @frenchfancy2014 and more I’m sure. Is @bookmeister86 on holiday?
@wannabeskinnycat - congrats on the football. My bf is a Liverpool fan and my dad is a spurs fan so the significant men in my life have had quite a week!! Final should be interesting...
Have done well today. Got all my goals done and about to make protein shake and head to freshly changed bed. Will be on in the morning after my run. There... I said it. I WILL do my run tomorrow. You can hold me to it! 😬6 -
I won’t be posting much for the next week. The surgery went well. It’s been about 24 hours and DARN the nerve block has worn off so I’ll be managing pain now. My hubby has gotten lots of healthy food for me. Not really hungry yet. Take care everyone5

I am tired and frustrated and cranky. Had to stay after at school because of a storm. ALL STUDENTS were kept for an HOUR. Of course it was my largest, most rambunctious class. So, no workout. And I'm exhausted anyway. :P4

I’ve lost 2lb so I’m very happy with that.
@snowflake1968 happy for you and your husband. Hard work pays off and it’s nice to have good things go your way. Hehe at troughing it. People will get used to my way of saying things.
@Faebert what a week of football. Just saw Chelsea win UEFA semi on pens. 4 English teams in the European finals! One of my brothers in law is a Spurs fan so we had similar in our family. My mum & dad live in Malaga so we’re all going over for a week, 6 kids + husbands/wives + grandkids so it’s going to be mad. All the fellas are going to Madrid for the night.
Have a good Friday everyone xx3 -
Hi guys. Just popping in for an update. Matt had his ultrasound this morning so all of the testings that he needed to get done is taken care of so now we are just waiting for the results and the follow-up appt on the 20th.
Matt took a leave of absence from work again. We're hoping it's only until the end of the month. That by that time we will have gotten a handle on his digestive issues.
I've been battling some pretty terrible depression the last few days. With everything that's going on, it's not surprising that my mental health is suffering. But because of that my eating has been total *kitten*. Lots of candy and carbs and things. I am spending way too much on take out right now but I just don't have it in me to cook right now. I need to get up and do a bunch of things around the house but I don't have the oomph needed to get my *kitten* off this couch. Matt is asleep next to me on the couch and has been for like 3 hours. Idk. I'm just feeling beaten down and lonely.
Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that I'm alive for the most part. I'll be back to set up some goals in a little while.
Have a great night everyone.8 -

There's a couple of facebook groups for hip/knee replacements that are very helpful. Will put them on here later, make a difference when you have worries or questions. Good luck with keeping the pain down!!2 -
Quick recap for today-I am exhausted and ready for some rest.
JFT 5/9 Word of the day: Intention
30 minutes of exercise-whatever my body is feeling Did 45 minutes of steady running, so proud!
Eat for fuel for bfast/lunch/snacks
Eat for joy & Fuel for dinner Dinner was a rushed affair and definitely not joy.
no alcohol
Breathing meditation x2
Mindful eating-put away devices Definitely not. Ate breakfast in my car driving down the highway, ate lunch hunched over my computer at an inspection, and ate dinner standing in the kitchen. Not a good mindful day but I did stay within calories so there is that.
JFT 5/10
Tackle my to do list and get it out of the way early
Date day! Enjoy my lunch date with hubby
Eat for joy but mindfully for lunch
30 minutes of exercise-whatever my body needs
REST and relax and enjoy family Friday night.
Shut off computer by 5 pm!
Five days until my BFF gets here and we fly to Antigua! I cannot wait!

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 190.4
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie). Add lamp and wobble board to grocery list.
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options.
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
6. Medical: Apr 25 Dentist. Apr 22 McC. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia???
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. May 4 is SW Day and FCB Day. Coloring at library on Tuesday.
WFTY: Climbing. Got my run in. 4 miles at 59:37. *sigh* Everything is SO HARD ;p
Positive thought: TGIF.4 -

Its mothers day so I felt kinda obligated? But, it's my one day off - and mom and I are doing a sleep over on Tuesday since I thought we werent doing anything Sunday. I had asked DH to make plans with his mom for Sunday to bring her to a nice greenhouse, so now I think he feels kinda slighted that I asked to make these plans and now I'm doing something else? Yikes, my people pleasing is coming out strong today Blaaaaah!!! Atleast its Friday! Happy Friday, everyone!

Yesterday started out as a good day and then piled on a world of suck at the end. A storm rolled in, and so I got to keep my most rambunctious class for an extra hour and a half PAST the final bell. Did NOT get my lifting in. So that means I get to stay late today if I'm going to do it and miss out on time with my husband (one of the reasons I wanted to lift yesterday was that he was scheduled to stay late at HIS school). So I got home and I was irritated and frazzled and got none of my essay work done either. I was exhausted and accomplished N O T H I N G. Did get lunch packed for today. So not QUITE nothing. And then I went to bed.
*hugs* to @HEGoddard0928 and @lafayettenana and everyone else struggling with medical stuff. Not only is it a physical thing, it's stressful as heck.4 -
Good morning everyone!
I'm feeling slightly better now that I'm at work. It's a super easy day today. I get most of it to myself. Lol.
I guess I should make goals. I'm going to keep them easily attainable though.
JFT, 5-10-19
1. No candy tonight
2. Wash the sandwich containers in the sink
3. Bag the dirty clothes for tomorrow
4. Make the skillet meal that's in the freezer
5. Hang out with Matt
6. Drink 4 water bottles/ cups of water
Okay. I think that's good.5 -
@Snowflake1968 @Faebert I am on holiday, thanks for checking Didn't get chance to post to tell you all that before leaving as was soooo busy in the run up to the holiday. Flying back tomorrow.
