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

Morning all! It’s my big girl’s 10th today - cannot believe I’ve been a mum for a decade. Feeling a bit emotional. So proud of her. Yesterday was completely crazy. The plan was to go for a run or workout, then drive over to my parents to pick the girls up, drop the oldest at her friend for a play date, then do shopping, a late lunch with the little one and some colleagues, then cook and bake for today. So already quite busy.
I went for a run (smashed my longest distance, fastest mile and fastest 5k - yay!) then came home and realised that it’s been a while since my car has been serviced. Then remembered I had it taxed but did I do the MOT? Then checked and realised it wasn’t done and therefore not legal to drive - oops! Still sweating and panting from the run I made a couple of calls and managed to get it booked in but needed to be at the garage within the hour. Then had to get two trains to my parents place in a rush. Then got a taxi to the play date and on to the shops with the little one. Then struggling home with a gazillion bags! Then the cavalry arrived in the form of a mate I haven’t seen for a while and he gave us a lift home but said his kids missed mine and could we get them together that evening. I said yes, not really thinking about how much I had to do. Then had to rush on foot with the little one to pick up the car then go and meet the colleagues for late lunch. Then come home and frantically try and bake the cake and make lasagne before picking up my other daughter and then going round to the friend’s house for a movie. Got it all done, kids not in bed until gone 10 - absolutely shattered!
If you made it through that essay congratulations! Suffice it to say that I am a bit tired today but very relieved I got it all done and happy that my birthday girl is so happy. On to the goals...

Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices.
Hubby wanted to eat out yesterday, he NEVER does this so of course I said yes. I need to get back on track though.
We have the Grands tonight for the night again. I’m taking them home to their Dad early tomorrow though instead of waiting for Lauryn to be done work and pick them up.

Yesterday was a bust. I am about 180+ emails behind at work since being on vacation, and I allowed that to consume my day and didn't take any time at all to take care of myself. I know better than to do that, but it is what it is. Moving forward...

Today is tougher than I thought. I’m short so my calories to lose is only 1200. Today I’m going for moderation. I’m having what I want, but only eating half. My calories are still set to 1200, so before dinner Its showing I only have 288 left. Now my plan for today revolves around maintenance which gives me an extra 400 or so, and I was 600 under yesterday with exercise. So why does to 288 give me anxiety? Why do I feel like going over 1200 will derail me? I’m a scientist I understand mass & energy balances yet this is driving me nuts.
Just needed to vent and show myself that my anxiety is unfounded. At least I think my logic is sound.3 -

Fitbit excercise goals Nice long walk through the village admiring other people's gardens covered the mileage; turned a blind eye to the people sitting out at the pub enjoying a drink and strod past ... it was tempting though!
January challenge
February challenge
Housework Did the minimum to make it look clean!
Gardening did what I set out to do today but there's more to do. It was lovely and warm outside today - resisted the temptation to sit with a drink and look at the garden!

I think your logic is sound but I really understand how going over 1200 makes you anxious. I used to be the same way, now I’m the opposite. I have to try to force myself to start being more disciplined. It sure is a balancing act! I really wish this Winter would go away, I think that would make a big difference in my struggle.1 -

Would it be a good idea to look at it weekly aswell as daily (i think slittlemeister does this)
So erm.. 1200 for 7 days is... *gets out calculator* ... 8,400 and so you can manage like that, so okay you might be over today but it might even out over the whole week?
And if you get to saturday - sunday and youve got day 3000 left you know you can have 600cals worth of treats3 -
No more waiting for Mondays, or the perfect weather/conditions, I want to see results now!!

2. Jog 1 hr ✔ (already jogged for the day)
3. Stay in the green!!! No chips!2 -
So ... today I joined weight watchers ... it is the gift that I am giving to myself. My weight is up almost 15 pounds since Halloween ... I now weigh 205 pounds (I weighed 209 at the meeting, but I had on jeans and my tennis shoes). I debated back and forth ... and hubby kept telling me I don't need to do that. He told me that I know what to eat. That I am not that overweight. That I look great ... all the things a nice hubby says.
But I don't feel it. I felt my best at 175-180 (sounds like a lot . but remember, I am 5'11"!!) . I was so close to that goal A YEAR AGO last October. Then, emotional eating took over, and I have been unable to stop it. Even though I have the best diet coaches here ... I need something different. It is a fresh start for me. I know I binge eat, and I need to get that in control.
I went to the first meeting today. I am only going to pay for just 3 months ... it will cost me $100.00 (they are having a special, $29.99 a month . with is both the online and meetings). But I feel I need to do this. You guys know how much I have been struggling.. how my habits are so out of control. Each day I try, only to fail in the evenings when my daughter comes out. So this is the gift I am doing for me. For me, at this time .. this is what I need to do.
But.... don't worry!! I plan on being just as active on here, and I also plan to share each week what is talked about at the meetings. I plan to weigh in here every sunday (saturday is my weigh in day with WW). And I hope I can be more of example to all of you, and help you all reach your goals as well.
Our daughter will most likely be put in the hospital next tuesday when she sees her doctor. Her paranoia is back pretty bad .. so much she isolates herself in her apartment. Last nite she called late at nite, crying, saying people are out to destroy her, she can't let go of a incident that happened 15 years ago.. and the incident is very distorted in her way of thinking. Just a guy that she felt looked at her funny. We beg and beg her to stay with us .. but I think she wants to hide it all. So I wrote another letter to her doctor, and I am sure either her doctor will give her one more chance to stay with us, or we will have to have her put in the hospital. So I don't sleep. I eat. So this is why today, I did this for me. I need to be strong, and be in control of the only thing I can control... me
So, sorry for the long post. But you will never get rid of me on this thread. I am such friends with you all. And I'm going to post what was talked about at the meeting.
SO, JFT, Sunday
1. log all my food ... both here and on WW website
2. concentrate on water
3. go to the gym
4. be kind to myself (this was the topic.. more to come on that)
5. going to a visitation tomorrow for a very dear neighbor who passed away. This lady taught me so much about quilting, I will miss her dearly. But .. she was 100 years old. So what a life she had
6. be there for my daughter
7. take care of myself.

Todays topic: Be kind to yourself
They talked about how we "talk" to ourself. We should treat ourself with understanding and acceptance, not with judgement and criticism. (something I know I am guilty of). We need to recognize that no one is perfect... and we need to stop trying to be perfect all the time. We will have ups and downs, and while you may think you just need tough love to help you focus, but self-criticism can lead us to feel less focused and less confident.
Treat ourselves like we treat others. Tell ourselves what we tell others. I see so much encouragement on this thread ... we need to be that encourager for ourselves.

@mytime6630 - I made the decision a couple of years ago to call the police on a friend that was in distress mental health wise. It was a very hard decision to make and I had to call my three adult Godchildren and tell them they needed to tell the truth if the police or doctors asked anything. I hated doing it, she was kept under the Mental Health Act for over two months. I truly feel though that if I hadn’t she wouldn’t be with us now. She is much healthier, and is doing well now. I understand how hard it would be to have her in the hospital, but that may be exactly what is best for her.
I’m happy you are doing something for you. Just the getting out and having the meetings will be an outlet for you. I’m looking forward to you sharing with us.
I was just cleaning up my phone and found a quote that said something along the lines of “we never talk to anyone else more than we talk to ourselves in our mind. We should choose to talk to ourselves as we would talk to our best friends”.
Hugs to you, I’m so happy you’re sticking around for us.3 -

We have had to call the CIT police 3 times on our daughter. Yes... the hardest thing in the world. I cried the entire time. The first time we refused to take her out of the hospital, but they could only hold her against her will for 24 hrs. One of her "so-called" friends checked her out. I was so upset... this friend of our daughter had no idea of what we had to do, and how hard it was to admit her. For weeks she would not even talk to us, then she got worse... and another call to the CIT officers. She is not bad enough now thankfully to call the CIT officers ... hers is mostly deep depression and crying, but we are seeing paranoia thoughts which concern us. She has a doctors appt on Tuesday .. so we will see what the doctor says. We have sent 2 letters to the doctor telling what is happening. My husband tells me I need to accept that we did not do this .. that this is genic ... but it is hard. I love my daughter so much, and never in a million years thought her life would be so hard for her. She received scholarships at college, and even a scholarship at the medical school where she got her masters degree, so very hard to understand why these things happen. But ... she is here tonite, sitting in the back room, so all is good tonite. I am hoping she will stay overnite, but we are keeping things as calm as we can.
And, I am so proud of myself. I want to eat, but I ate my piece of fruit... and I have drank 5 glasses of water tonite! (Guess where I will be all nite LOL!!).
And yes, I plan on sticking with all you guys as well. I only plan on doing WW for 3 months, so I am also logging my food here. That way I can also see how many calories I am eating.. since so many foods with the new WW plan are considered free ... and you don't really count calories. So I want to know how much I am eating.
Thanks for you hugs also. This thread does have the most kind, caring people. Love you all.3 -
@mytime6630
You have got to do what you've got to do! I think its great youre trying something different, no one expects you to keep hanging by a thread on here everyday, you NEED something different, something fresh! It will certainly give yoh that umpf.
Im glad youre sticking around for us though! I (and im sure others) would miss you terribly!
Im excited to hear about your alternative journey!
Im still very sorry about your daughter, and as awful as it is maybe hospital is the best place for the timebeing, shes clearly under alot of stress which is now not only impacting her but others too. Youll just have to see what her doctor says
Just remember you are an amazing mum, patience of a saint, kind and loving and if she does end up in the hospital it is in no way a reflection on you, remember tthse 3 Cs. (Its what i do with Ash) You didnt Cause it, You cannot Change it, you cannot cure it!4 -
Hugs @mytime6630 - great advice from Bex above and I’m glad WW will give you a new focus and agree completely that it is important that we are kind to ourselves. Life is so very unfair sometimes. I have a close family member whose child was born severely disabled and sometimes you just want to howl with the injustice of it - but all you can do is concentrate on one day at a time and each situation as they arise. You are doing an amazing job - hang in there x3

Thanks so much Bex! You know. .. I think you guys know more about my life than many of my friends. I don't tell too many about what our daughter is suffering. On another note ... did you partner get approved to stay on disability? You are also going through so much.... I can repeat all the things about you being an amazing mum, saint, etc.
And what day is baby Casey's birthday???? I know its coming up soon!3 -
I'm not new ... I just fell off the wagon ... I weighed 375 at me heaviest ... I lost 250 lbs ... and my weight has been between 120-128 since 2012 ... Today I got on the scale and I weigh 133 ... that's not so bad I said ... but the kicker is that my BMI is off the chart at 133 where it has been 128 for years ... I have decide to get back to My Fitness Pal to get back on track ... My exercise is nil ... I have not made time for it because of going straight to bed from being so tired of having so many hours working ... I have a full time job and a part time job ... I get 60 hours a week between them ... NO MORE EXCUSES ... I have got to make changes in eating healthy again and counting those calories like I used to ... I am not mentally there yet to get the exercise into my schedule ... I'll get there just not yet ... I would love to join this to gain the motivation ... I'm in if that's ok for me to join ... Any insights would be helpful ... Thanks!!!!!5

I had a lovely day yesterday for my daughter’s birthday and managed to stay on track with food and exercise too. I went to the dreaded Warrior class (boot camp-style, claims to burn up to 1000cals) and actually felt like I’d made progress. It was still tough, but I could definitely keep up so that was really encouraging. Today is the last day before we head back to school after a week off so I’d like to make it a good day with the kids and a good day with diet and exercise so I can go back to work tomorrow feeling strong.
Saturday goals recap:
- Make imam biyaldi and ice cake ✅
- Get kids ready before their dad arrives ✅
- Warrior class while kids have birthday breakfast ✅
- prep final bits for family dinner ✅
- Laundry away ✅
- Portion control at dinner ✅
- Early night!! ✅
Sunday goals:
- morning workout
- Walk/jog/time outside with the kids (was super warm and sunny yesterday, fingers crossed for more today)
- Buy food containers, freeze batch cooked meals
- Get bags packed for school, name label new shoes

Have a good day everyone x2 -

Well yesterday was a mess! I don’t know what got into me but I wanted and had all the food! I didn’t exercise, I didn’t restrain. Today is a new day and I will do better.
I am taking the Grands to their Dad around noon and then going to Kaitlyn’s to finish off the invitations. We just have to put on the hearts and twine. After that I am coming home and doing some tidying I think.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
Today: 190.6
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).
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).
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!
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: Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Feb 7 12:00 w new. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for FTN (Feb?) Audition for Avenue Q March. Audition for Christie March. Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
Yesterday was ... not a complete loss. But now I have a crapload of work to do today At least it's not raining. Plan is to get this essay and artifact in by noon, review lesson plans, then go for a run, then come back, finish lesson plans, then do the NEXT essay. Bookstore is not gonna happen this weekend. Gonna have to send the husband by himself to take the recyclables to the center, maybe while I go for the run.
Feeling like I'm climbing backward right now :P
@Faebert - jsyk, breast cancer is highly treatable, and arguably curable, if it's caught early. So yay for you for being proactive and taking steps to check things out based on family history. Hope things work out well.
@mytime6630 - Thinking of you and your daughter. Do what you can, hope for the best, and don't beat yourself up over it. Sounds like the situation is already challenging enough!
@nlmackey98 - One of the things I tell myself regularly is "Feelings aren't facts." It's okay to feel a certain way, and I don't want to ignore my feelings, but I try to let my brain have the last say, because feelings are deceptive little kittens! ;D2 -
