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

@nlmackey98 - I had to laugh at your daughter's song choice. My Grandparents were not overly religious, but were Christians and didn't swear as a rule. BUT they had different views on what swearing was. My Grandmother didn't swear at all, my Father told me about the one and only time he heard her swear and it's a funny story, but not to tell today. My Grandfather thought $h*t wasn't swearing as it wasn't taking the Lord's name in vain. Grammie did not approve. My Grandfather though, just stopped using it around her. His favourite expression, that my brother and I liked repeating was $h*tahoola - I can still hear him saying it when something didn't go right and my Grandmother wasn't within hearing distance.
I hope you feel better soon and your daughter gets her help and does well in her audition.
@ZizzyBumble - Last year I had some activity or other going about once a month. I lowered my expectations of myself for those days. I actually set my goal to not get exercise and to stay within maintenance. The few times that I actually allowed myself to do it, I still had my regular everyday goals in my head and I think it helped curb the damage.
@korina75 - I would love to have a trip with one of my friends, we keep talking about it, but never seem to get it done. I hope you enjoy it immensely.
@cory17 - I'm sure that is some sodium bloat. It would be almost impossible to gain that amount over a weekend wouldn't it?
@hope25 - Those little extras will make a difference in the grand scheme of things I bet.
@Faebert - Your assistant has missed a lot of work, does she have an ongoing medical issue? Are you not allowed to get a substitute to assist since she's missing so much time? The weather affects me too, I shouldn't let it but it does.
@littleblackskirt - I have been talking to myself in the evenings too, it seems to have helped.
This reminds me is @bookmeister86 on her grand adventure right now?
@aubyshortcake - thanks for your well wishes on the job. I have learned a lot while preparing for this job, mostly how far behind my husband and I are for retirement, but it is what it is. I am about 3 hours from Calgary. I live just outside of Edmonton on the Calgary side. Calgary is a pretty, and it is very close to the Rockies, every time I go there I wish that we had the Rockies in our backyard.
@AJB1014 - It's incredible what one day of achieving goals can do to for your mood and your determination to continue the next day. I hope you have another great day today.
@MLHC1 - I hope you can find a way to get a little break from your little one. I know how important that is to your own well being.
@cschmitz110515 - I find it so hard to get back to my routine and goals after I have had a break. I'm like you I ust have to do it. I know once I start I will feel better for it. Hope you smash your goals today.6 -
It's Wednesday weigh in day for me. I weigh daily, but average over 7 and 10 days and monthly.
This is the lowest I have been since I started my journey (AGAIN) in February 2018. I hope that I can continue this trend this year. If I lose 25lbs this summer like I did last summer, I will be quite happy with myself.

Huh, what a night! Had an aweful toothache from yesterday evening until this morning when I went to see my dentist. I haven't had any sleep. When I did fall asleep for 30 seconds, I was awaken by sharp pain. Because we are ttc, before period I don't know if I am pregnant yet or not, so I stayed away from painkillers (since I am not sure which ones are allowed in early days). Doctor wanted to take an image of my teeth, but didn't because of the posibility of pregnancy, so just made a guess and opened the most suspisious tooth. It has turned out to be the right *kitten*, so it was an imediate relief. I am so grateful for not being in that sharp, pulsating pain anymore.
I don't know if the whole precaution makes sense or it is overreacting, because I don't feel any signs of pregnancy..but I think if it, by chance, turns out to be the case, I guess I would be scared and stresses if I did something risky.
I admire you all mothers, how you are handling everything with your little ones, I feel overwhelmed before it even started!
Hug to everyone, you're doing great!
@Snowflake1968 You are such a sweet and positive lady, thank you for all of your wonderful comments, you know how to make people around you feel good about themselves!
Congrats on your statisticss, I think you have mastered sustainable weight loss and commitment!3 -
I am still trying to find my last post!! @Cschmitz .. how did you say to do that? I've gone back like 6 pages, and still can't find it! such a active thread!
Well, I have 3 weeks left on weight watchers, but I am not going to pay the $45 a month... so I will be back to logging my food here. I did lose almost 12 pounds while on it, but I need to be better.
It does not help that hubby thinks I look great, and tells me not to worry about it. Last nite after a stressful day we had margaritas on our patio. Then ordered dominos pizza because I was too tired to work. So that was why I liked the WW because of having to weight in front of someone, but I will get back to recording my weight here ... and be accountable to you guys!
So goals today are simple
l. log all food
concentrate on water
go out for a walk since I skipped the gym
get back on here everyday ... be accountable.
weigh in is on saturday mornings... so start recording weight here each week.4 -
@daneejela - Thank you. I just wanted to comment on your apprehension in case you might be pregnant. If you are trying and aware that you could be pregnant I think you are smart to use caution. However, there are 100's of thousands of healthy babies born all the time that were unplanned and the mothers didn't take any precautions.
I had two unplanned babies, I missed a pill both times. I know that I did drink not excessively but on the weekend, I also had a stressful job and chewed pain pills like candy to alleviate a constant headache in those first days as I didn't know I was pregnant and still had beautiful healthy girls.

@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.2 -
I am really, REALLY tired today. Not sure why.3

But. I'm already wearing my workout clothes. And if I don't go work out, I won't get my steps in today... unless if maybe I can get the husband to go for a walk with me. But it's hot out.

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 hugs5 -
JFT 09/05/19 Thursday
1. I’ll come back here in the evening
2. Log everything and be under calorie goal
3. Take at least 5500 steps
4. Make time to be mindful for me
No idea where my last post is. It’s been a mad few days with Liverpool beating Barcelona in an absolutely perfect game. I’m Irish and we moved to Liverpool when I was small and I’ve lived here this time for nearly 20 years. Was born a red ⚽️❤️ Watching the other semi final now. C’mon Ajax!
It’s Weigh Day tomorrow and I’m nervous. I don’t think I’ve lost anything but I haven’t been troughing it so that’s a bonus at least. I’ll try and catch up with posts but I’m pages behind

I must be tired too lol. As I was reading this I thought you meant you wanted your husband to go for a walk in your place! Oh if only exercise worked like that
I've been very good today, had salad for tea. My son has just come home and is eating a pizza, the smell is so tempting!

Draining yourself can be counterproductive. But if that's not what you're doing then Im proud of you for persevering!! Just take care of yourself as well. 😉1 -
*hugs* Thanks. I think it was more of a mental thing than physical... though exercise is still hard! We're wrapping up state exams, and I'm as done with it as the students are.3

my post poufed!
@snowflake You are doing such a wonderful job!! steady downward movement, lots of applause!
Wt today is down a bit. Anytime eat out (favs are Thai & Indian) this happens, not sure if those cuisines are more guilty of higher levels or not.

I got the call!!! I am meeting with her boss Tuesday at 1030. She gave me some tips for meeting him. I’m nervous and excited now, but as she said once that’s done it’s up to the universe, I should know I’ve given it my best.12

*slowly peeks in & waves*
Hey everybody! Tried doing this earlier this year, but I fell away from it. Really want to set goals again and have that accountability back in my life.
JFT Wednesday May 8, 2019
* Log all food
* Drink at least 100 ounces of water
* Do not eat out
* Wash clothes
* Bed by 11:307 -
@snowflake1968. Fingers crossed for you, you have done a lot to prepare so I hope it all goes well for you
I did not post goals today, I have decided I am on holiday until Monday then I will get back on track. Sunday is my birthday and I am planning roast beef etc. and sherry trifle for lunch. Not exactly diet friendly!5 -
Yay! @Snowflake1968 that's such great news.
