Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY
Replies
-
Been so busy .. I am trying to get so much done before the cold weather hits. Had a stressful nite last nite with my daughter... and I think I finished off a bag of marshmallows and chocolate candy bars (that we had bought for smores).
But today is a new day... and did much better today
Goals for tomorrow, friday
1. log all food
2. mindful eating
3. concentrate on drinking water
4. healthy snacking in the evening
5. start xmas projects .. I am needing something to get me back motived in sewing. Somehow the past 3 months I am having a hard time to get motivated to do anything as far as sewing.

For today I am trying to not get discouraged and break my diet just because the scale hasn't moved.
Oh thank you. Yes, I've been quilting a long time. The diamond one was for my grandson .. who loves bright colors! It is a very easy pattern (Trip around the world). Its the best therapy for me to be sewing
And I am like you .... trying not to get discouraged. The scale can go up so easy, but takes so much more to have it go down! But don't give up! 0 -
Hi everyone! I have to go all the way back to page 239 to catch up but I don't have time to do that right now. I am about to walk out the door and take a drive to Lake Michigan. I have a small (shot glass size) urn of my ex-husband's ashes (my children's father) that I was asked and agreed to spread since that was somewhere he loved to go and we spent many weekends there as a family through the years. This weekend would have been our 38th wedding anniversary, which we always spent at Lake Michigan, so I thought it might be a fitting time to do it. It's going to be emotional, even though we'd been divorced over 30 years...we had a life and children together and it was not all bad. Anyway, I wanted to get some goals on here before I leave. I've been meaning to all week!
I hope all is well with y'all! I know I have not been regular on here, but I truly have been working on picking up many pieces of my life this year! I think of you often, and I hope to become a regular poster again very soon! Love and hugs. :flowerforyou:

@PackerFanInGB I'm so sorry for the loss of your ex-husband. This must have been a really hard time for you. I'm a newbie here so it's nice to meet you. My husband passed away in 2007 (we have two kids together too) so I know how hard it can be. It does get better - you sound very positive. I'm always here if you'd like to chat.
Happy Friday everyone. Hope you all are having a good day. My boyfriend's mom is in pallative care starting today so that's a bit stressful - but it's been a long time coming. Otherwise, things are looking good. Have a few big work projects that I'd love to finish today.5 -

@cschmitz110515 - employers don’t realize how much they ask of people and expect that money makes it all better, I hope there is a change in that mentality someday.
I am sitting at the doctors office waiting for my daughter. Unintentionally, we had back to back appointments scheduled. It worked out well since she’s in a boot and can’t drive right now. Michaela is with Grampie and we’ll have to go get her and bring her back home as soon as we leave here.
I had my first physical in 2 years, not sure how I missed last year, I’m usually on top of it.
My blood pressure is a little elevated and I found out that the headaches I’ve been having are actually migraines not sinuses as I thought. She has given me 2 prescriptions to try to help so I don’t have to take as much Advil as I have been taking.

Stay in the green but closer to red than I’d have liked especially as I know it will be hard tomorrow with the take-away I’ve preordered. I shouldn’t have had a whisky and chocolate after dinner and I’m now wondering why I made that choice.

Just for today Friday, October 16th, 2020 I will:
•Walk✅ I had a really great 3 mile walk this morning. I really enjoyed it.
•Eat 3 meals❌ Ugh! I did good for breakfast, but opted for a protein shake at lunch and now am just snacking for dinner since neither the hubs nor Inare really hungry enough to cook a full meal. The toddler was happy with scrambled eggs and fruit tonight. Sigh. I have to get better at eating actual meals and not just snacking.

Hi, A house overlooking the sea was my retirement dream and I’m so pleased we managed to achieve it. We used to look out onto houses and more houses. We now have sheep surrounding the house. They stand on the hill level with my bathroom window, and stare in whilst I’m cleaning my teeth!3 -

That’s a lot of red up there. The first half of the day went well. I worked on math with my 2nd grader and it was really rewarding to see some of it start to click! The second half of my day is when the rain started. My girls had a half day from remote school and just needed a break so we had a lazy afternoon.

My caboose feels like it's out of gas today. It's nearly noon, and I'm still sipping coffee trying to get my butt in the shower! Lately, I've gotten my morning and evenings turned around and I'm staying up late at night and then I'm tired all day. I need to work on that...amongst a half million other things. Haha!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

@ZizzyBumble - I so enjoy the pictures you share of your views.
@PackerFanInGB - I am naturally a night owl. I have more energy when I am able to stay up late and sleep in. Work is not conducive to this and I struggle through. You are retired now, maybe your body is just doing what is most natural for it.
I have to go out to the store to get a few things for the house and I really don’t want to. It’s cold and snowy out.

@PackerFanInGB I am on the Isle of Skye (off the west coast of Scotland). I look out onto part of a chain of islands collectively known as the Outer Hebrides, then it’s the North Atlantic until you reach Canada.

Writing in here is very motivating. I missed it for a few days and missed it. The weekend always throws my routine off so I'm making a weekend schedule instead of trying to adhere to Monday - Friday.
Working from home is tough so I'm trying to do more hours.
