Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY
Replies
-
Work-at-home Wednesday here! I love working from home...it's just so much more comfortable and quiet. I needed the quiet today. This is kind of a stressful week, some good and some not so good, and I really needed to quiet my mind. Feeling more anxiety than I've felt in years, so I kind of need to take some time to approach things in a healthy way and not with a big-*kitten* bucket of Tin Roof Sundae ice cream.
We are having a pretty nice day here in Wisconsin...bright blue skies and 39 degrees. Some of the snow is melting and I can see spots of grass underneath. I have spring fever SO BAD! I cannot WAIT to leave for Arizona on Saturday! Saturday we hop a plane and head to 80-degree weather for a week. So excited! A whole week of vacation! I actually can't remember the last time I had a whole week off. It's been years. I have to admit, I'm a bit embarrassed and anxious about wearing summer clothes though. I didn't lose weight like I had hoped. I certainly won't want to be in any pictures. I wish I weren't so self-conscience! I am really going to work on just being in the moment and not caring. I just want to make some happy memories with my husband and some of our family members who we'll be seeing while there.
@HEGoddard0928 I wanted to congratulate you on getting so much written on your book~ You should be so proud of yourself. I have always wanted to be a writer but I have never been brave enough to try. I'm proud of you!
@cschmitz110515 The personal trainer I'm working with at Western Racquet right now is doing same with me for my knee. Working on strengthening muscles around the knee and keeping it moving. You are already so active that it must be really frustrating for you!
@mytime6630 I'm thinking of you and your loved ones and hoping you are okay. Sending prayers and much love.
Just for Wednesday
1. Log every bite of food.
2. Increase water intake
3. Start going through summer clothes
4. Begin list of what I need to shop for
5. Knee strengthening exercises
6. Cardio of some form
7. Team meeting with Health Coach tonight
8. Pack and prep for tomorrow
9. Bed early, lights out at 10:00
Word of 2020: Persistence

Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks for February.
Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’

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
- Other: Daily Mindfulness Practice/Meditation; Practice Self-care; Positively reframe thoughts; Live! Love! Learn!; 15 mins Daily Declutter session; keep up to date with chores

@Kuhl50 - I had one of those performance evaluations that made me cry too with a boss I adored. Turns out my working too hard was looked upon negatively as I wasn't doing any of the tasks to the best it could be. It, of course, had nothing to do with the fact that he kept giving me the work. Sorry, that struck a really huge nerve with me. I hope he enlightens you on his reasoning at some point.
@clicketykeys - I wish I was still a student in school knowing what I do now about how hard teachers work trying to give us a good education. I so admire your dedication to your students.
@ZizzyBumble - I don't envy you a bit and I know exactly what you are going through, in 2015 we took at my parents house. There was still a poster hanging in what was my old bedroom behind the door that I had bought in probably 1978 or 79. We piled and piled junk and had 4 major bonfires. It is not an easy task at all.
@PackerFanInGB - Enjoy your trip! You so deserve it. I have to make a comment about the picture thing though. I have a friend who wouldn't let anyone take pictures of her because of her weight. She didn't see a problem with this and disappointed a lot of people that just saw her beauty and wanted a picture of her. Her nephew who she helped raise passed away unexpectedly after a brief illness. She was so upset when they were doing the memorial and sharing pictures that there weren't any of the two of them together. Since that time she allows people to take pictures with her. People that want to take pictures of you don't see your size, they only see your beauty. Years down the road those pictures will remind them of how happy you were on that trip and how you talked about it afterwards. Pictures trigger memories of our loved ones past and someday that's all our children and grandchildren will have of us. Ok, jumping down from my soapbox now.
We had the Grands for supper tonight, I am going to take them home as soon as they pick up their toys. Rodger had his wisdom tooth and a molar pulled today so he is not feeling the best tonight. He has had 7 rounds of antibiotics for the infection in these teeth. 5 just around Christmas and 2 over the last 3 weeks. He was ready to get it pulled in early December but the Dentist refused until he had approval from a doctor due to his blood pressure. Since that time Rodger started walking he was up to 10kms 4 days, one day off and then back for 4. About 3 or 4 weeks ago the doctor cleared him to start weights so now he does 45 minutes of weights and 5kms walking. I am so proud of him. He doesn't see the difference yet, but I sure do.
I need to get back onto the health train with him, he should be inspiring me instead of wanting to argue because he's not doing it the way I want.
Ok, I have to go take the Grands home. I'll come back to check in later with my goals for today.6 -
Soooo tired. At least I'm over the hump, but goals and catching up will have to wait until tomorrow.4

Hello my crew,
Was really tired today so I took it easy. I went just a little over my calories, but I'm ok with that. I'm still eating much healthier and in a way that fuels my body. Tomorrow I have the afternoon off because I have a doctors appointment at 1:00, so I'll have the rest of the day to catch up on stuff. I'm so happy my job application is in, now just the wait! Happy halfway-there day!

Thank you all for your kind words and virtual hugs. I started today feeling emotionally fragile, but ended it feeling strong. I’m not sure when I’ll have the full conversation with my boss, but I’m pretty sure he knows I’m not happy as he was trying to publicly compliment my work a few times today. I’m trying to look up and remember all the good mindset tips about not seeking external validation and at least by noon I no longer worried I’d cry or lose it I heard something critical... 😅
Tomorrow...

Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green with a deficit
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 30+ minute lunch break Not really, my colleague hit me with some bad news just before my lunch break which meant I was flitting between having a break and trying to sort out the mess

- Pick up godson presents Plans changed so went home after shopea closed rather than before
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- French book
- Laundry
- Book train ticket
- March resolutions

Yesterday hubby texted he was exposed to viral pneumonia at work. He's got an iron constitution, so I'm not too worried. He'll sleep in guest room for few nights. Good thing we work different hours, and only see each other (on weekdays) on my lunch breaks . Was going to miss seeing him today anyway, due to hike. Sad me.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of January: 194.6
End of February: 196.2
Today: 193.5
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).

Thanks, @Snowflake1968. I think most of them know that I care. I hope they do.4 -

I wish I’d taken before and after photos of my parents loft. The change is amazing but I’m so tired! There’s more to do tomorrow but we’re nearly there. All good food intentions went astray this evening as I went for the easy option of pizza and salad but I only had 2 slices and lots of salad so managed to stay in the green even with the large glass of wine 😊

Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks for February.
Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’

Yesterday didnt go quite as planned. Went to a work event where lunch was provided. I'd assumed it was just going to be sandwiches and pre logged a sensible portion. But then it was not sandwiches, it was tasty hot foot and brownies! I adapted by taking a moderate portion and doing my best to track it. Assuming I tracked ok, I stayed in maintenance.
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be within 200 of green Due to lunch
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- Positive affirmations
- Finish work by 7pm
- Talk to boyfriend in French Tired
- French book Tired
- Quality time: date night rules (no phones)
- Laundry
- Packing
- Food shop
- Gratitude journal Forgot
- Lights off by 11
Today we are going away for weekend 3/3 away. Staying on track will be tough. Quite a lot of eating out is planned and when we eat in I think it might be quite calorie rich based on previous experience. I will do my best to stay in maintenance and will track it all regardless!
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be within maintenance
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 45+ min lunch break
- Read article at lunch
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Positive affirmations
- Finish by 5pm
- March resolutions
Happy Friday everyone!6 -
