Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

Day 2 of logging was a success -- I even went back and added the snack I had after I "closed" the diary for the day. (Once I get back in the habit of logging I will start working on what and when I'm eating.)
For today, log everything I eat.5 -
JFT - June 9, 2020
Log all food and drink that goes into my mouth.
Get at least 5000 steps.
Keep telling myself I can do it... One day at a time.5 -

Log all Food - Yes even my favourite potato chips that my daughter so graciously bought for a treat for me
Gratitude Journal - No, my daughter didn't leave until after 11 so I went to bed instead after I received the text she arrived home safely.

@PackerFanInGB - I like the "worry about it at 6" method. I tend to be a worrier as well and this could be helpful. I wish I had the money to be at home too. In some ways I don't like being at home either, but I think that's because I lack money to do something when I am home.
@cschmitz110515 - That sounds like a lovely weekend! Our Farmer's Market opened this weekend too, it was very rainy and cold though so I didn't attend.
@HEGoddard0928 - Hopefully Matt's prescription clears up his sore throat. Here in Alberta if you have a sore throat you automatically get tested for Covid. Apparently our Minister of Health has decided that all staff and residents in LTC will be tested regardless of symptoms. I think this is a little like closing the barn doors after the horse ran away, but who am I to judge their reasoning. I do not agree with this, but have no real choice in the matter.
@kuhl50 - That is an awesome NSV! I have the opposite problem, I had gotten rid of all of my bigger clothes as I was losing over the last couple of years. Now I am very limited in what I can wear.
@ZizzyBumble - isn't it amazing how meeting goals can make such a difference in the scale.
@pridesabtch - Good luck, I can't wait to hear how successful your ride was.
@merope2 - I used that method a few weeks ago and it was amazing how quickly trying to get in the green became a goal.
Well I guess I should get to work. I had a late night last night and am tired today, I would rather be home enjoying the sunshine. It rained all weekend and is supposed to this coming weekend as well.

Frustrating morning today. Woke feeling a little draggy. Then my work email password expired and I tried everything, but apparently there's no way to change it from home. Good thing I'm working in my office tomorrow. Did I mention we're not really set up to work remotely? Grrr. At least I was able to read message from Asst. Manager that she reviewed my recent project and it looked great. That was nice to hear, she doesn't compliment much.

Good day for self efficacy. Accomplished what I set out to do. Work wasn’t too crazy for meetings, but I admit to being completely unproductive in my breaks. After such manic weeks I feel I’ve earned a bit of mind rest, even if I’ll pay for it later when crunch time comes (hmmm...health and fitness works the same way in terms of “paying” for breaks in routine...clearly I need to figure out more effective work habits, too!).
Hope you all had a good Tuesday and are ready for Wednesday!

Good morning everyone, long time no post!
I have been lurking and reading whilst away, but think it's now time to attempt to get posting again. I haven't been really feeling like making goals and putting pressure on myself during the lock-down as it's been a difficult time and I was quite enjoying giving myself a break for a bit. But I think, with lock-down dragging on (we aren't going back to the office until early July at the very earliest - could be lots later) I need to start making some goals again. But I will keep them simple!
I'm starting my new job next Monday - or at least I will be if HR ever get the contract sorted out. I'm having to exercise vast amounts of patience at the moment - my interview was the end of April and it STILL isn't all sorted. One of the reasons for the delay was actually a good one - the job I'm moving to was supposed to be a 12-month contract but my current boss kicked up a fuss about that because it meant that he could only recruit a 12-month person to replace me. The result has been that I'm getting a permanent role That's a good delay, the delay i'm now waiting for is just HR getting off their a%$ and sorting out the contract. Which really shouldn't be that hard, it just involves changing the name, salary and job title on the standard contract... but hey, everything takes ages in this place. Anyway, it WILL get sorted and I WILL be starting my new job soon!
Anyway, here are some simple goals for today:
- Stick to pre-logged food
- Get out for a walk
- Don't drink more than half a bottle of wine on Zoom call (alcohol consumption has gone up in lock-down - need to be careful on this)
- Lights off by 11

Thank you @PackerFanInGB, I like your idea of putting off worries for later, I’ll try it today and see what happens. Yesterday wasn’t a good day but weirdly I’ve woken up today feeling better, so fingers crossed it lasts. On a good note if I manage today I’ll have logged my food for seven days straight - a record for me. I was up really late on Monday night working and could feel myself wanting to eat something just for a distraction, but didn’t because I knew I didn’t have calories left. I’m taking this victory!

@maryrobinson40 - it’s nice to see you. I don’t know how you can fast for 36 hours. Good for you.
@kuhl50 - you’re doing great. 2013 would put me where I am now. I think I want to be in 1997.😂
@littleblackskirt - financial worries seems to be my biggest issue constantly. I don’t know how to ever get it solved and I’m always trying to do it alone. I hope yours settles soon.
You're one of the best Sisters a girl like me can have. Thank you for caring so much about all of us. XOXOX4 -

😀😍 GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT'S HERE.
Happy Wednesday. WINNING WEDNESDAY!! 💪
A WAY MAKING WEDNESDAY. A WONDERFUL, WHIMSICAL, WHIRLING DERVISH OF A WEDNESDAY.. WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO CALL THIS DAY, TRY, TRY, TRY, To make it through with prayer, power, positivity, and persistence. Other people don't control how we handle what's dished out to us. We have the POWER OF US on the inside. It starts with the mind. Where the mind goes, the emotions follow. Even when a wrong thought starts to creep in on us we can mentally stop it from growing and taking us over into our emotions. Immediately saying no or replacing that negative thought into a positive...ie changing the proverbial lemon into lemonade cliche, or even taking the lemon " to the head"( taking it straight like a drink), we don't have to let the downs keep us from our ups.
Ok. Enough of my yammering... Lol.
GO GET 'EM Y'ALL!!! WE'VE GOT EACH OTHER AND WE'VE GOT THIS! WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT. JFTODAAT(JUST FOR TODAY, ONE DAY AT A TIME)
LOVE ALL OF YOU TO LIFE😍❤🙏🤗🤗🤗🙏

Y'all have a great day. You deserve it!
So... The ride was tough, but I stuck to my plan and didn't walk any hills. I did take some gentle rubbing on the first climb as Bob passed me. Bob is old. Bob is slow. Bob has never passed me. I used to be QOM on that hill (both sides). Anyway, I made it huffing and puffing. The ride is a nice rolling hill kind of ride with a long moderately steep climb at the beginning and end. I definitely ride faster on the flats and don't ride my brakes on the down hills, but I stayed with the group. My plan was to ride out 40-45 minutes then turn back to make sure I had the energy for the last climb. Once again some gentle ribbing about cutting my ride short, but I'm glad I did. Having been out of the saddle for so long and only riding flat when I do ride had not prepared me to climb (duh). Once again, I made the climb huffing and puffing, but the only person riding with me since I turned back was my hubby. He knows better than to laugh. The last 3 miles back were flat, but I was tanked. I so wanted to quit, but I down shifted and kept moving. My ride back was much faster than my ride out as I wasn't dallying on the flats. When I finally got back to the car, there was a bit of lying in the grass trying not to throw up, but I made it. So all in all I'm proud of myself for not quitting, but a little disappointed in my fitness level though not surprised.
Today, I'm not sore, but I am tired. Maybe weary is a better term. I so didn't want to have to come into work, but I'm here because there are things I can't do from home. Today's exercise will either be a walk or rowing, nothing fancy.

@TerriRichardson112 - I logged in last night and skimmed the posts. Your comment about watering your plants made me remember to go water mine. Thanks for that.
@kuhl50 - I worked in the security industry in management for 20 years and never really got breaks. I used to think it was the industry. Now I work in the office of a LTC facility and we never get breaks here either. I don't know how it always ends up that way.
@bookmeister86 - It's nice to see you back. You've been waiting a long time for a new job. I hope the wait ends soon!
@littleblackskirt - 1.5 lbs is awesome. I am down a bit too, if I could stay away from the chips and get everyday in green I would be doing better more consistently.
@SERmom3 - That landscaping sounds like a workout. I see you are returning library books, our libraries are allowed to open on Friday. I found a new author while this has been going on so I'm hoping to get some of her older books to read now.
@maryrobinson40 - Do you get to eat today? I hope you have an amazing day to match the amazing person you are.
@pridesabtch - You did it! I'm so happy for you! I think a lot of people are realizing that work isn't all it's cracked up to be. I have never struggled going to work, I don't take sick days and very rarely take vacation unless i have something planned to do. I'm seriously struggling to get up and come to work each day. I truly hate it, not the work itself just the coming here daily.
Well I went for a 5K walk last night. I actually went a little over 5 and my pace was about a minute less than last week. We'll see how tonight goes, I'm not feeling the best and don't know if I'll have it in me to do.I am going through menopause I think. I hadn't had a period since February and all of a sudden started. It is causing excruciating cramps and I'm hoping its better by this evening. I have never suffered cramps in all of these years so I this is new and not fun!
I hope everyone has a great day.

Update: Wait is over - contract received AND SIGNED. (unlike HR, I do not faff around...) Starting new job on Monday! (Well actually, Wednesday, going to take Mon/ Tue off for a mini break).
A big relief to get it sorted and excited about getting started!
I neglected a pressing deadline to get this sorted today and as such will need to focus on that when I get up in the morning rather than posting. But I'll be back on Friday!
(FYI, at this stage no goals look like they're getting met... rain got in the way of walk and celebrations regarding job mean that meal plan is out and Dominos is in.... I'll get back on track after getting celebrations done though!)

I wasn’t able to edit my post today (something strange in my phone settings) but I wanted to add to my gratitude that I’m grateful for this thread and people like @snowflake1968 who carefully read and post specific comments on what we write. It makes me feel included and heard which helps my motivation. I’m sure many others on the thread feel the same!
@pridesabtch Congratulations! I hope you are intensely proud of yourself—we all are!💪🍾
@bookmeister86 How exciting! Best of luck as you transition over. Remember to be kind to yourself during this transition because even happy change disturbs our routines.
@cschmitz110515 Wow, a massage, I’m definitely jealous. I have no idea when those will open up again here, but I will be so happy when it’s safe to go get one. I have a favorite spa that is in an old house out in rolling hills (away from the city) with beautiful gardens. A heat treatment, a massage, and time meditating in the gardens is a yearly treat that I don’t know when (if) I’ll get to experience again. 😢5 -
Good morning everyone and good luck with today’s goals
@bookmeister86 Great news on your permanent new job. Enjoy your celebrations and mini break
@pridesabtch well done on the bike ride, you showed guts and determination.
@littleblackskirt congratulations on your weight loss
