Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

cschmitz110515

Recap T 1/14 ~ Still felt exhausted when early alarm rang, so reset & skipped treadmill before work. I know eventually I will get back on track with this.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 9,516 steps, 250+ 13/14 & 42 floors
2) Prelog meals & snacks / net calories zero / 14c water = Ate some chocolate but not horrible. Net cals -133 , sodium green , sugar green , fiber low , protein ok, 14c water
3) PA-BB progress nearly done with 1st phase / BC-CC if time (apparently AC really wants results, but neither Kim nor I are working on this right now ~ doesn't anyone in dept mgmt read our weekly status updates to know this???? )
4) Evening: wash towels (as soon as get home) / treadmill / fold line-dried clothes & take rest of laundry upstairs & put away / wash dishes / watch Jeopardy GOAT / other? shoveled snow off patio again thankfully hubby has been clearing driveway & front walk before he goes to work
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / BED & NO TV 10:20 didn't go upstairs until after 10:30, no TV (yay) & finally in bed 11:00

JFT W 1/15
1) Walked treadmill 2 mi 35:47 + cool down + stretched before work = happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
3) Prelogged everything but supper / happy hour w/ former colleagues so preview menu online, make healthy(ish) choice & stick w/ plan / enjoy 1 adult beverage while enjoying their company / net calories zero / 14c water
4) PA-BB complete phase 1 / email CEO for additional info & clarification / prep GA-PT records request / BC-CC
5) Evening: Burkel's / put dishes in racks away / prep veggies for Th pot roast / prep lunch for Th / prep clothes for Th workplace lunchtime hike / other?
6) UNPLUG 9:00 / floss / retainers / BED & NO TV 10:20 (x-train before work Th)

So glad I found the 24 Hours of Exercise per Month Challenge (it's a supportive group, with Likes and a few comments, unlike the Daily Step Challenge I used to do, which basically was list your steps and be done with it). This morning, thinking of it forced me out of bed to work out before work. Yay me! I want to get back in the morning workout habit, because evening workouts just don't happen for me anymore.

2020 Goals

1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up)
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement

Word for 2020: Persist

1/10/20: 164.0
1/13/20: 165.8 - some water weight I'm sure from eating out Fri, Sat
1/14/20: 164.6 - Sorting itself out a bit
1/15/20: 163.0 - So it took 3 days to undo the water weight gain over the weekend. But now I'm at CGW for the 5lb Challenge. YAY ME!
Loss: 5.2 lb

It looks like my excess water weight from the weekend finally dropped off to reveal a 1 pound loss over last Friday, which brings me to 5.2 pounds so far for the year. Yay me!
.

Congratulations! Well done you!

I think your word of the year should be descending rather than climbing given you're shedding the pounds

WFTY: DEPTH
Depth Year - Updates

I definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.
03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.

1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
2. 04 Jan: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas > 5 chapters per week
3. 12 Jan: finished chapter 18, so well ahead of goal.
   
4. 13 Jan: finished my 1st book: Will start the 2nd tomorrow
   
5. I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
6. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
7. I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
8. 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
9. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.

Scale goals

End of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
Today: 193.2

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut

1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
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. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
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. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: Christie auditions 19-20 7 PM. Usher
8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Find cousin photos.

WFTY: Progress. I'm still struggling with trying to juggle it all. I haven't written for my blog since break.

teigansdad

Goals for today all completed...
Same prettt much for tomorrow
Water intake (more)
Stay in green
Sufferfest workout at night

I’m getting into a good groove during the week. It’s weekend and social events that’ll be my kryptonite. Work party Friday w/ catered food and 2 beers on the house (kinda hoping the selection stinks. But I’m a sucker for a good IPA).
Trying to come up with realistic goals for Friday as I won’t have a opportunity to workout so doubt I’ll stay in the green.


Then Sunday have another party.
That bad boy is at a steak house. May have to bank up an extra 1000 calories on trainer before I go to that one.
How do you guys manage the weekends?

I even resisted ice cream today!!!! Every Wednesday I take my 9 yr old to Baskin Robbins bc he is too young to join the youth church group. So to make him feel better we have "Ice Cream Wednesdays!" Maybe once my weight is in the managing phase I'll indulge but for now I'm in weightLOSS mode.

Have a blessed evening!!

Faebert

@pridesabtch - congrats on your challenge loss! Looking gorgeous as a brunette x

@TerriRichardson112 - shame about the Eleanor Oliphant book - I really liked it! It is quite strange at times but there is a big reveal that is very thought-provoking. In case that tempts you back 😉

@teigansdad - completely understand the weekend socialising dilemma, now more than ever as I’m not currently cleared to exercise and earn some extra calories that way. I try and come in around 100 under goal weekdays to cover me for extra weekend eating. Plus if you can get up later at the weekend it’s easy to skip breakfast and save calories for dinner.

@bookmeister86 - what sort of politics are you involved with? Are you a local councillor on top of everything else you get done? In a previous life I worked in lobbying and public relations so have a massive interest, even though I’ve never been active in a political party.

It’s 3:29 and I’m supposed to get up in a couple of hours. Hope I can get back to sleep. Getting distracted on here was not the best idea... x

jeschepp

Hi all! It's going to be a short one because it is past my bedtime! Had an up and down day but I think more good than not. Was productive at work but ended on a really busy note. I got home and put two loads of laundry in the machines, and plugged in a workout video. Well, it was way beyond me and I tried modifying things and taking breaks but it just didn't feel very good or effective (honestly, who can do a plank for five minutes AND try putting their leg up in the air?!). I hopped on my bike trainer and felt so good I stayed on for 30 minutes instead of the 20 I set my goal at. I can feel my stamina returning which is really great.
Had some downer news-we have to cancel my extended family Christmas celebration at my grandmother's this weekend due to threats of some monster storms across the Midwest (she's over in Wisconsin and I'm in Minnesota). So I'm pretty bummed. It took forever to plan this so that everyone could come. I know we'll reschedule and it will be ok, but still a disappointment. Trying to keep my chin up-hey at least my laundry is done BEFORE the weekend for once! Anyway I guess this wasn't so short...

Just for Today-Wednesday
7 hours sleep ❌ JUST shy!
Get to work ON TIME for once ❌ but only a few minutes so that is definite progress
Stay in the green (1.2-1.4k calories) ✅
Track food, exercise, water, daily goals ✅
80 oz water ✅
Meet daily recs for the 5 food groups ✅
Exercise 30 minutes ✅
Tidy house for 15 minutes ❌ half points for laundry?
Do not stay more than 15 minutes after "end time" ✅ this is so much harder than I expected but I've rocked it the last few nights!

Just for Today-Thursday
Get to work ON TIME for once
Stay in the green
Track food, exercise, water, daily goals
80 oz water
Meet daily recs for the 5 food groups
Exercise 30 minutes
Tidy house for 15 minutes

Set plan for catching up on reports this weekend

Wednesday
1. Up at 6, walk, 7 min workout, yoga stretches 👿— no workout today except getting to the gate at the airport
2. Grab breakfast before pickup, try for yogurt. 😁
3. Log all food😁
4. Sensible lunch😁
5. Find salad at airport😁
6. Keep up with water—refill at least twice. 😁

Today I stayed in calorie goals but didn’t get a workout. I was 6 days in a row prior, so I’m ok with that. Still hungry often, but learning to work through that. It’s not as if I won’t get food later, I will never actually starve in this food rich environment, so who cares if I feel hungry for an hour or so?

Excited yet anxious to step on the scale tomorrow after 3 days away. I ate on/below plan the whole time so I *should* see progress, but my clothes aren’t really showing it yet.

Daily Goals: Track, Exercise, Journal

Thursday’s plan:
1. Up at 6, run app, 2 sets yoga
2. Hang laundry
3. Healthy breakfast, no media
4. Pack salad lunch, get protein from freezer
5. Evening: start packing bag & food for Yosemite
6. Research snow shoe rental from REI
6. Get bag of oranges to bring to work Friday
7. Upstairs by 9, journal, lights out 9:30

Hope you all had a good Wednesday!

Just for today, I'm not going to force myself to walk 10,000 steps

bookmeister86

Yesterday's goals:

- Track all food and drink
- Be within maintenance I changed my mind about this and decided that I was going to allow myself to order what I want for my main when I went out. I have to think about the kind of lifestyle I want to live long term, and actually, I want to be able to order the main I want when I go out for dinner, sometimes. I don't want to have to constrain myself every time as I will resent that. So I think on weeks that I am only going out once, I can order the main I want. (But not other courses!) Going to try that and see how it goes, hopefully this can be accommodated within weekly calories
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home I did however eat a slice of my friends leftover pizza which was less good a decision. However I tipped brown sauce over the second remaining slice so I didn't eat it, so could have been worse!

- 45 min lunch break
- Read career development article
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Stay positive

- Finish work by 6pm 6.15
- Home by 11 Was having too much fun to leave early. But it wasn't too late


Today's goals:

- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home - watch out for this in today's meeting! (We're being bribed to go with biscuits so I know I'm going to need resistance)

- 30 min lunch break
- Read career development article
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Stay positive

- Talk to boyfriend in French
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11


@Faebert - I'm in Labour, and go to quite a few local meetings. I'm not a councillor but funnily enough quite a few people (including councillors and my MP) have tried to persuade me to run! I've said no so far though because I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay in this area, and also as you say I do so much already! Possibly in the future though... I did want to be an MP when I was younger. I have gone off it a bit lately as politics has gone a bit nasty recently.... But I would think about it in future. In the mean time, I'm trying to get into policy as a career. Not the public affairs bit (Is that what you did?) as much as developing policy - I find that really interesting!

@TerriRichardson112 - I also LOVED Eleanor Oliphant. I recommend persevering, it is very different but I found it really touching and moving. (I do like weird books though, so it might be my cup of tea but not yours).

JFT Wednesday 15th January

No snacking none
Be positive yes, much better today
Walk to shops (it's VERY windy, but dry so will walk for the exercise) 45 minutes, has made me realise I need to get back to walking much more, felt quite unfit
Pack something no time
Housework some, not enough

The no snacking wasn't quite the success it should have been. Had an unexpected visit from family just before evening meal time, I didn't have enough to stretch and we were all hungry. So a visit to the chippy, not good for calories.

@teighansdad, thanks for your internet support , yesterday was better, we spent some time reminiscing and quoting poetry, nice to see them happier.

@pridesabtch , lovely photo!

JFT Thursday 16th January

Early start, bone scan at hospital on the other side of town at rush hour
Lunch with friend
Start clearing spare bedroom
No snacking

@Faebert @bookmeister86 I have already decided to give Eleanor Oliphant another go. It seems silly to read almost 2/3 of it and not finish it. 😂

Faebert

@bookmeister86 - yes I was in public affairs. Agency and then some in-house, specialising in health and charities. So I got to do some policy development when in-house, which I enjoyed. Sounds like you’d be great at it.

Ooh let us know what you think at the end!

Faebert

Morning all, yesterday definitely did not go as planned but I’m very proud of myself for not caving food-wise. My little one hurt herself at school and we ended up at hospital. She’s fine, thankfully, but it’s never a fun (or brief!) experience. Tired, hungry and cross describes us all last night!

Today I’m going back to hospital myself for a follow-up with my consultant. After a slightly rocky road in recovery so far, I’m really hoping I get good news today. Had an early start and there’s travelling junk food temptation so I want to stay mindful today. I’ve been doing well and feeling good- no reason to jeopardise that.

Wednesday goals recap:
get kids up and ready ✅
Pack snacks and schoolbags ✅
Take kids to school ✅
Eyebrows ✅
Laundry ✅ but needs putting away
Collect P 3:45 and L 4:45 (wish they had after school clubs on the same days!!) ✅ ❎😕 3:45 then off to hospital!!

It’s my dads birthday today so staying in the green is unlikely. I’m doing the cooking so do have some control. He’s chosen Normandy Chicken with veg etc followed by Christmas pudding and Cornish cream and there will be wine.

Wednesday:
- Laundry 🟢
- Dinner at the dining room table (we’ve been in a bad routine of dinner in front of the tv. Need to change that!)🟢
- water!🟢
- Stay green🟢
- Long walk🔴
- Pick up one piece of trash while out.🟢

My schedule got altered yesterday. I’m a substitute teacher so I took on a last minute assignment. Unfortunately, that means I didn’t get a walk in. It’s so much harder staying in the green when I don’t get extra exercise calories. Last night I skipped my usual late night treat (mini bagel with nutella). I was definitely feeling deprived. Haha!

JFT Thursday:
- complete a couple of computer tasks I’ve been putting off
- organize music for the weekend
- Dinner at the dining room table
- water - more than yesterday
- Stay green
- Long walk
- Pick up one piece of trash while out

2020 goals
-a pound a week to get me from 193 to about 150 or so by my birthday, a year from today. Back to a weight where I felt GREAT. Full time job and caregiving my father outside of that limits the exercise energy & time but I can certainly track my food. Two weeks so far, so good, already feel better.
-put down my phone more
-stay more connected with old friends
-stay more connected with new friends and a thread like this to keep me focused

thank you

Yesterday was a really good day, though church was bit chaotic and my youngest had a stress induced melt down when we got home. All of this meant I had a beer and stayed up too late. On the upside I only had 1 beer and I had plenty of calories for it. My weight is up a pound today, but I had Mexican for dinner last night and I'm not surprised or concerned.

Today feels crazy already, but I don't think its really that bad. I came into work early so I can leave early so I have time to exercise and shower before my daughter's play tonight. I have zero idea what we are doing for dinner. The play isn't until 7:00 and since it's an opening the kids usually like to go out to dinner after.

JFT Thursday
- Work early
- Protein bar for breakfast
- Train folks at work
- Lunch from my pantry
- Exercise
- Play
- Dinner within calories
- No alcohol
- Water>soda
- Log it all. Stay green!

Have a great day y'all!

My word for 2020 is CLIMBING:

Climbing out of depression into the life I want to experience. Healthy, fit & fun.
Climbing on my bike. I will get up the back side of Huck this summer!
Climbing on that spin back 4-5 days a week until I can get outside.
Climbing to reach my goals without letting my pride stop me.

- Water goal 😁😁15 days in a row!
- Bring gym clothes/charger to school 😁 Didn't end up using either. There's a classroom charger that I use but sometimes one is the students uses it as well. And I didn't end up going to the gym.
- FOLD THE DAMN LAUNDRY 😭 Nope. I was so stressed about money I barely did anything yesterday.
- Journal (I want to make this a priority again) 😁 Mostly complained about money to myself and God. Lol
- Follow the dinner plan I made on Monday 😁 Baked chicken, green peas, and brown rice
- Chapter 22 😭 Wasn't in the mood
- Pick 1 order😭 Wasn't one available.

Matt's hours have been cut at work because it's January and I'm missing 2 weeks of pay because of winter break. So money is incredibly tight right now. But Matt's hours should be picking up the end of February. I can't wait. We need the money so bad. So keep us in your prayers that we make it the next few weeks without killing each other.

I've also decided to pick up more shifts for instacart and to stop being so picky about my orders. We can't afford it right now and I need to raise my reliability score so I get better orders. So I have my first shift on Friday.

Matt has off today so I am going to be spending the evening with him, I think. If he takes a nap I might get some writing in though. I really want to finish this story before the beginning of March. It's my goal.

Okay, onto goals!

Log all food on mfp

Review budget

Hubby came home last night Two days earlier than expected!!!! This will mean my day will be full of variables and I'll have to "roll-with-it." I'm going to stick to my routine and adjust when "stuff" comes up.

♡STAY POSITIVE♡
