JUST FOR TODAY -- One Day at a Time .... Daily commitment thread for 2019
Replies
-
I didn't post in JFT over the weekend, but I had daily goals & logged everything, so I'm recapping for my own accountability...
Recap F 1/11
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings = Fitbit 17,085 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 37 floors
2) Meals & snacks prelogged / not sure about refreshments at evening event / net calories zero / 14c water = Stuck w/ plans, only refreshment I had at 5K event was cookie at halfway point (really?) and instead of using my free drink coupon at the bar, I gave it to another participant ~ yay me. Did eat a small amount of fruitcake when I got home... just needed "something." Net calories -77
, sodium -591 
, sugar -34 , fiber low-ish, protein spot on & 14c water (yay).
3) Frenzy on the Fox 5K is tonight... for safety & fun, organizers are looking for most "lit" participants this year. Walking w/ girlfriend, so no time goal (event isn't timed anyway), I'll just use my tech gloves & MapMyWalk app. = Had a great time & we did a decent pace. Another former colleague saw gf and me, so she decided to walk w/ us instead of the very slow run w/ her friends. The three of us had fantastic time catching up, we didn't stop talking the whole time. Weather was ideal for evening event (30F, no wind at all) & lots of people were wearing their high vis / LED gear, even the fat bike riders.
4) FLOSS
/ retainers / no alarm for Sat. a.m. 
at least I did this (try to leave by 9 for winter market)
Recap Sat. 1/12 ~ Forecasted snow flurries never came... instead we had a weather alert for freezing drizzle and untreated roads (our neighborhood) were ice-covered for the entire day. Meant missing the winter market
and not walking dog > 4 miles as planned. Reminds me that we plan, God laughs. So changed things up and had a nice, quiet day at home.
1) I did Sweaty Betty Dance Cardio workout (thanks @Bex953172) ~ boy, am I uncoordinated! And did that make me sweat. Had to sit out a few reps, too, towards the end. My steps count wasn't high (6,715) but I did a workout. And hubby got his laughs during the dance portion he watched me try to do.
2) Since didn't get to the winter market in morning, had to improvise meals. Not the healthiest, but oh well. Decided to treat hubby to pancakes & bacon for brunch ~ happy hubby. Then dinner of beef franks, boxed pasta salad & veggies from the freezer. Net calories -324 , sodium -871 , sugar -6 
, fiber really low 
, protein low-ish & 12c water.
Recap Sun. 1/13 ~ Thank goodness, roads dried up (mostly).
1) Bible class & church
2) Walked dog 3.67 mi 1:8:57 ~ had to go slow in spots where I was fearful of black ice, but no slips & no falls = happy dog & happy me
3) Many to-do's: scrubbed & refilled heated birdbath, meal planned & grocery list, put air in car tires, gas in vehicle, grocery shopped & everything put away.
4) Stuck w/ planned meals & snacks / skillet lasagna for supper (thanks @HEGoddard0928) / enough water = Net calories green 61 , sodium -155 (ok), sugar green (yay), fiber low-ish , protein ok, 12c water (ok) 1 -
JFT M 1/14 ~ Rest day / spa day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings
2) Meals & snacks prelogged / stick w/ plans / net calories zero / 14c water
3) Locate & update weekly w-i post in JFT
4) Evening: enjoy massage 5:15 / some to-do's? doesn't have to be much, just get something done!
5) FLOSS / RETAINERS / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:15 (workout T before work ~ not sure what yet)1 -
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). Saturday a.m. weigh-in is my MFP logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Newdaydawning - cleaning is a never ending task isn’t it? I just watched the Netflix series called Tidying Up. I don’t have a huge problem with stuff, but she had some good ideas on some things. I watched it in support of my daughter who has embraced it and really needs it.
I may have to check that out! My fiancée and I are both crafters so to say things are cluttered is an understatement. It's pretty ridiculous. But I'm doing a little bit every day and am seeing progress. We also both have some issues (her with her shoulder from a stabbing incident and me with scoliosis) so slow and steady keeps from major injuries!
Wow a stabbing incident! That sounds awful!
What kind of crafting do you do? Hubby and I both craft it can overtake a house very quickly!0 -

This is the invitation without any of the writing which will go on the ivory in the middle, that piece lifts up and the RSVP card, location, and other details will go in a pocket behind it.
[/quote]
I like the invite! The heart is a very sweet touch. Sometimes thrift stores will have a bolt of lace that someone has discarded. Also, don't forget Craig's list or Facebook market.1 -
@jaysgirl092516 woo-hoo! Congrats! That is a huge feat. Keep going. You are saving money, increasing your health, and gaining freedom. Yea For You

@slittlemeister A two-fer for you this year! Mindful and Moderation These are very strong words and are very active words.

@snowflake1968 - I 💗 the invitation! Kaitlyn is very lucky to have such a clever Mum!
@Sofia_Alegria - hang in there! It’s hard to get back to it after Christmas but it sounds like you’re fed up enough so put that fed up feeling to good use and jump back in. It’s amazing how quickly you can feel better again with a couple of days back on the programme. Hugs x
And just to say I am very in awe of all of you over on the other side of the pond exercising in ice and snow shovelling. We still have very mild weather in the UK and I still manage to whinge about a bit of cold and rain!2 -
Had a good day today. I’ve been working on noticing how macros affect me and realised I’ve been chronically low on fat. I’ve upped it in the past week or so and it really seems to be helping. I’ve been so busy plugging away on the protein because everyone seems to suggest that’s best but maybe this is the best way for me to go.

My word for the year is "DISCIPLINE". Because I know that is what I need ... the discipline to do mindful eating, the discipline to look up calories ahead of time, the discipline to get to the gym regularly, the discipline to drink my water, and the discipline to never give up.

My husband does pyograohy and I paint. Our craft fairs consist of mainly Christmas ornaments right now. I also scrapbook and will tackle pretty much anything. I got a Cricut for Christmas that I am just learning. This is my biggest project to date with it. It’s the start of a banner for our Granddaughters birthday party. I just need to decorate the dresses and put her name on it. I’ll post a pic0 -

Meal out tonight to celebrate Dad's birthday. I am continuing to maintain my desired weight and will try to choose something that really appeals but is "sensible" rather than concentrating on whatever would appear to be the healthiest option ( no calorie counts available on the menu)

Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Be in the green Very close, around 50 over
- 3+ bottles water Although quite a lot was catching up in the evening. I need to get better at drinking in the afternoon, I just forget when I'm absorbed in work
- No alcohol
- Log sabotaging thoughts Didn't have any (that I noticed anyway) yesterday but still need to catch up on those I had last week
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite Breakfast and lunch yes, dinner I wolfed rather. Think this often happens, not sure why
- Monitor fullness after each meal Again I did this for the first two, not the third. I realised I was still hungry after lunch as it was SMALL and therefore had a low calorie hot chocolate to shut my stomach up. It worked
- Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving Didn't really come up
- Give myself credit! Think I forgot again. Though, I have given myself lots of credit this morning for getting out of bed to go for a run even though I could have used my slightly dodgy neck as an excuse
- 45 minute lunch break
- Meditate
- 2+ of French podcast, article, book
- Finish work at 6pm LATEST Er, no, 7pm. I had a piece of work I had to finish which took longer than expected. I have things to leave for today and tomorrow though so won't repeat in the next two days!
- Read Beck Diet Solution
- Gratitude journal
- Lights out by 11

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
Today: 189.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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.
2. 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. Regular: needs practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
3. Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook and lessons.
4. Develop 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. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.
5. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Barn order: stapler, pencil sharpener

8. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
9. 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, Harvey Mansfield, or Robert Adams). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.
@Elbee1 - Thanks for the vote of confidence. Right now I don't have that much of my own - at least as far as meeting weight goals - because the trend is a slow and relatively-steady upward creep.
@newdaydawning79 - Oo, neato! I'm actually wearing a necklace that I strung.
@Bex953172 - Hey, I'm impressed that you logged it. I have trouble logging my intake ALL THE TIME.
@Snowflake1968 - I'm trying to figure out which princesses, but I'm having trouble with the purple-on-purple and the pink-on-purple. I think the latter must be Ariel (her human dress)? Oh, and the dark green one. (Unless they're just dresses and I'm overthinking this!)
One thing I really want to work on this year is getting away from the word "just." It's a word that lurks behind a lot of my excuses and hand-waved creepage. It's "just" a cup of low-calorie, high-protein yogurt. It's "just" a handful of air-popped popcorn. It's "just" one exercise class skipped. But I feel like I keep "just"-ing my way deeper into a hole instead of CLIMBING out of it!4 -
