Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

Happy weekend team!
Today I got to go visit my sister and her baby, he's 2 months old! I haven't been able to see him for a month with being sick. His eyes are now open most of the time and he's starting to babble. The best was the moment I got to hold him and his eyes locked mine for the first time (he's been asleep when I held him before). There was just something absolutely magical about being seen for the very first time by such a small human. He would "talk" and smile when I smiled. Adorable
I was able to set a limit when my sister asked to go for dinner and say I was going home for dinner to stick to my meal plan. Tomorrow is the last day of my diet bet (4 weeks!) and other than a few small splurges I've been eating very clean. So Monday, once my weigh-out is done I will be ordering pizza! Last night I had a terrible time falling asleep with my rib pain. I found a pain reliever today (Advil) that seems to be working better, and I can feel I'm already super tired. So instead of doing what I usually do, which is NOT listen to my body and stay up too late, I am going to call it a night and tuck in.

Hi folks,
Checking in from Heathrow. The flight over was very bumpy—pilot said they took advantage of a fast jet stream and we landed almost an hour early. But the landing!! It’s amber alert for winds, and I nearly got air sick in just that last 10 minutes. Even after the wheels touched down we had a yank to the side so extreme I wondered if we’d end up off the runway. That’s quite a gust to do that to a 747!
Realized on the plane that I couldn’t track on MFP while in Airplane mode (duh!). Caught up after. Chose well at Heathrow for health (salad, chicken, cauliflower) though the total calories still higher than I’d like. Now a long wait as my next flight was cancelled and my rescheduled flight means 5+ hour layover. Staying far away from the shops that sell chips and candy especially given I have the sleep-deprivation hungries...
Hope your day goes well and the weather behaves for you!7 -
Didn't make much progress on goals yesterday, but I had a nice quiet day with my husband. Later this week, he's off on his annual winter golf trip with his dad, who is still a pretty mean golfer at 92. So we let the chores go and went to a movie and an early Valentine's dinner.
Today, we'll be sharing the day with my daughter's family, and I'll be making Korean shortribs for dinner. Tons of sodium and calories, but soooo yummy! I'll try to squeeze in a walk before I start cooking, but I think I'll be working those ribs off - and catching up on chores and schoolwork - all week.
Goals for Saturday, February 8, 2020
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit – X – Nope. At least 300 calories over, but I had no exercise calories to burn.
• Household chores 30+ min – X – Not really, unless cooking lunch counts. I did, however, empty the dishwasher and do some food prep for tomorrow.
• Errands (Costco, Lowes) - √ - Got some new workout clothes too!
• Dinner and movie with DH - √ - A lovely, relaxing day.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
Today: 193.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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: 1984.
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.

I did't log Saturday, but it wasn't a bad day, just busy.
Sunday... Went to Sunday School, but needed to leave before church to go into work for a bit. I knew I was going to come in this weekend so I left a little early Friday and spent some time with hubby. Sitting at work now waiting for things to finish one thing so I can start the next.
Food today did not start off good. It started off yummy, but not low cal or low carb or low fat or low anything. I had 2 Asiago bagels from Panera. Why 2 instead of 1? I have no idea, but I did. I have 3 choices from here. Give today over to "I've already messed up, why bother." "Starve the rest of the day" or "Move forward as though I ate a reasonable breakfast and allow 900 - 1000 calories for the rest of the day & exercise". Pretty sure the 3rd option is the best, but its so hard for me to turn my days around... Wish me luck!
I was a size 2-4 just a few years ago and love some of the clothes I had. I've been saving them, but today I decided to ask a young mother at church with 5 children who was about that size if she could use them. She got tears in her eyes and said yes. She has lost about 40 pounds after the last baby (6 months old) and has very few things to wear. The family has very little and the parents are both in recovery, I'm pretty sure she has a greater need than I. I may get back to that size, but I'm fortunate in that I can just buy new stuff. Sometimes I take my blessings for granted and forget that others aren't as fortunate.
Almost forgot goals
- Log everything... ugh
- church
- work for 2 - 3 hours
- take a nap
- work on laundry
- sort size 2-4 clothes for Jamie
- ride the Peleton or maybe the trainer and watch a movie. Steady state just move!
- Study the Bible
- Youth group tonight
- Watch my friend Leo on Worst Cooks of America! Leo once caught his hair on fire during one of our science shows. The man is a wreck, but he's a genius and funny as heck!
- bed by 11:00
- no alcohol

The long strings of gigantic photos are breaking the thread for me. Even worse is to QUOTE the long stings of gigantic photos. Delete or minimize people!
I have a migraine and I am grouchy. My goal today is to try to get rid of said migraine before I go back to work tomorrow.4 -
Happy Sunday! My net calories weren't green on Friday (pre-race carb loading + evening snack) or Sat. and no regrets. This is my lifestyle, not a diet. Yesterday I walked in the Seroogy's Valentine 5K. An hour before race start, the temp was 12F with wind chill of 4. So wore my winter layers & walking boots with footwarmers & mittens with handwarmers. Chilly waiting around for the start but I was nice and toasty once we got moving. Very happy with my time of 46:26.7 and ave. pace 14:47.
Afterwards, I changed sweaty shirt layers in my car in the parking (thank heavens no one was around) and went shopping at the winter market for local, healthy foods. Included a decadent chocolate peanut butter cupcake from one of my favorite vendors celebrating her bday. I ate that but not the meltaway given at the race finish. At home hubby knew I wouldn't feel like cooking & suggested going out for dinner, which of course I agreed to. Nothing fancy, just omelettes & hashbrowns at Denny's, but nice for me and hubby.
Today the predicted snowstorm has already started. Snowflakes started falling just as I got to church. I had to brush off > 1" snow when I came home, and it's snowing pretty hard right now. Forecast for snow to end around 9 p.m. and potentially 5-10 inches, so hubby and I will probably be clearing snow at least several times today. That will be my "exercise." On to goals...

Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Hey guys! It's been a few days. I havent been feeling so hot and I've just been lazy I guess. Lol.
So Matt got a brace for his hand on Friday when we went to the doctor. Unfortunately they had to take another round of Xrays that our insurance probably wont cover which sucks for us. It needed to be done though. Apparently insurance companies wont cover two sets of xrays if they are less then 7 days apart and Matt's were 6. But at least we have a plan of action. His next appt is in 2 weeks. They will take ANOTHER set of xrays to see how it's healing. But so far it seems to be doing well. Matt said that the pain is down to a 3/4 as opposed to the 7/8 it was when he first did it. So that's good.
I think I'm coming down with something. Hopefully it's just a cold. A stomach virus and the flu are running through the different schools in my district. There are a lot of kids and teachers missing school every day. I really hope I'm not coming down with one of those. My stomach wasnt happy on Friday and I've been pretty stuffy and coughing all weekend. I've also been really tired and kind of weak. Pray that it's not one of those terrible things please!
Okay, enough chatter. Onto goal! I'm gonna keep it simple today I think.

Hello my healthy people!
I had a really good day today. It turns out that it was a good thing I listened to my body and went to bed early, because I ended up sleeping 11 hours! I think it's the first decent sleep I've gotten since being sick, between the cough and the rib pain. I felt really good today. Still not up to full speed, but I can see the improvement. I was productive and got some work and house stuff done. Why does everything always take longer than it seems it should? Anyway, I hope everyone had a good weekend!
@bookmeister86 did you ever get off the train?
@Kuhl50 Nice work making healthy choices while overseas!
@pridesabtch That had to be hard. I've got a few piles of clothes I should probably do that with also. I'm proud of you for making that choice though!
@cschmitz110515 Nice work on the 5k! Some day I hope to run one. Or walk one. Or even just stumble through one.

Hi Everyone. I hope everyone has a great upcoming week. I hope you all smash the goals you've set and feel great doing it. To those who aren't feeling the best. I empathize with you. Remember to take care of you because you're the only you that you've got. If healing is NEEDED... give yourself a break and allow recovery time to happen. Workout your heart and pamper yourself. Workout your mind by jotting down "To Do's" and important things to remember...then relax with a puzzle, a novel, or something soothing.
Whatever you decide...enjoy the process.
Hugs and love,
Mary❤🙏6 -
Happy Monday everyone. My week has started well - I lost a little on my weigh-in, and have managed to get on a train despite transport chaos! And I even got a seat unlike all the poor people standing next to me. (And they all look young and healthy so I don't even have to feel guilt or inclination to give my seat up....
).
(@jeschepp got off the train after 2.5 hours eventually! Ended up going straight back home so essentially did a 5.5h round trip for no purpose. Stayed relatively upbeat though - no point stressing about stuff you can't change!)
Not particularly enthused about the week to come, quite a few irritating things going on at work at the moment, but am going to try to have a positive attitude and also focus on the nice things coming up this week. Wednesday I'm having dinner with close friends and at the weekend we'll be going out for Valentine's Day and also going for cocktails at the gherkin (big London skyscraper) and to the opera. So it will be a good week!
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 45+ min Lunch break
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Positive affirmation cards
- Finish at 5pm
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- Read a few pages of French book
- Quality time (no phones!)
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 10.45

WFTY: DEPTH
Depth Year - UpdatesI 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.Daily Goals
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.- 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.
- Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
- Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
- Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
- 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.
- 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
- 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.
- 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.
- 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
- Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!
- Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise
