JUST FOR TODAY... One day at a time .. Daily Commitment for 2023!

Hour commitment - After I finish my hot cocoa, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. Can still have my dose of metamusal. Didn't mean too, but the tamale I chose tasted more like a dessert tamale. (I have all these tamales in my freezer that my friend brought, but they aren't marked. Evidently some are sweeter, with some honey and raisins in them.) That's ok. Honest mistake. Had not planned to have desserts today but I ate it anyway. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch.2

@pridesabtch How old is your youngest now?
Tbh when I hit teenagers I think my parents gave up. They nagged alot but tbh my mess was contained to my room. But the mess. My god. You couldn't see the carpet put it that way and is wasn't exactly a small room. Floordrobe is the perfect term. And then just clutter. Everything cluttered.
What used to annoy my mum worse is she used to say "I don't know how you find anything in this mess" and one time I was like "humour me, ask me where something is" so it was like hairbrush, straighteners, my purse... I knew where it all was. Organised mess I called it lmao. Think she hated me a little bit on that one.
I mean up to highschool I got fairly high grades. As, Bs and C's and one U (basically ungraded) because I despised the subject. But as soon as I hit college and I was more responsible for my own learning (rather than detention for not doing homework in high school) I found it much harder to learn. "Draft copies" were always my final copies. Some subjects I'd be great at, for psychology we had to learn and know 75 different studies over various topics. But we had to know the theory, the sample type, the study involved, how many participants, the ethics and the conclusion. But because I loved the subject I learnt it all. When I got into the exam hall though it's like everything I had ever learned just disappeared. So college didn't go great and I didn't go to uni.
I found it hard to find and/or get jobs. The only job I did get my dad practically forced me to the interview. But then I'd always go above and beyond in my job.
I'm now also becoming very aware of how distracted I get, how often I zone out when someone's speaking to me and just generally how awkward I am around people 😂
Sorry I'm going on now, could speak all day about it haha4 -
Ahhh, why do i not come here everyday? So much more to read if i skip.
Yesterday was nice!
I slept through breakfast tho, so i had to work to hit my points.I think my circadian rhythm is shifting later. But i'm okay with that. If it's meant to shift back it will.
I ate a bunch before bed again tho. I actually cant tell if its affecting my sleep or not. Probably most of my problems in bed are my weight (sleep apnea). I'll revisit this question later.
It weird knowing that i'm gonna score a weightloss at my weigh-in tomorrow. Ive been sorta keeping an eye on it, and its been dropping fast. I hate this part. But come saturday, most of my waterweight should be gone and i can look forward to less stress next week. Week 2 of a diet always has some waterweight loss as well but much less and after that i should be done done. I'm still trying to keep my diet higher on the carbs and lower in the fats so i dont deplete my glycogen stores. Which is both easier on WW (because zero point foods, minus eggs, are all low fat; very low fat actually) and harder (harder to eat calories overall; if i spent all of my points on bread, that would only be 136 g of carbs and 726 kcal; any more carbs i would have to get from beans and bananas which is very difficult). I must be doing a half-decent job because, although my energy levels have been fluctuating, theyve been getting better with time.
Yesterday i did some laundry and tidying. Today, much more laundry, and some more tidying.
Last night i had a social! Went to a Shogi group and saw some new faces. Very nice. And was introduced to a very intriguing game shop. Ive always wanted to watch Warhammer 40k. Today theres no socials planned, which is nice. Today will be a nice chill day by myself. And the rain has stopped, so easy errand running today.
My midday meal was a bit weird. I thought maybe i overstuffed myself out of anxiety. But now that time has passed, i'm still hungry. Just had three small chocolates and i hate to stop myself, so now i'm eating bread. And because my bfast had so few points, i'm still in the clear―half my daily points left, and 12 weekly points left despite the end of the week being tomorrow. Maybe its stims withdrawal.
Now i'm just waiting to warm up a bit so i can take a shower without wanting to die (i get very cold in the shower, dont ask me how!). Then i'll finish my morning routine and ideally get started on a WW recipe that looked good. I really love cooking now that i'm doing WW, cause i can easily make tasty foods that are zero points, which means i dont have to worry about portioning when i take some out of the fridge.
I'm very similar. I had to stop doing the "ok i'll remember to do this in a second". NOPE doesnt work. When my BC alarm goes off, i will not turn it off until i take my pill, even if it annoys everyone (although if i absolutely cannot take it atm, i just reset the alarm for however minutes in the future i need).They were just like "set alarms" so I did, I'd read the alarm and be like "right yes I'll take my meds in a min". Gone.
Probably everyone is like this to at least some degree (hence not taking and todos being a common thing). But it varies. Hubby routinely forgets i'm like this because he's like this too but significantly worse. He looks at me like i'm some memory GOD. But half of its just coping strategies.
Oh strange, i think i misread somehow. I thought you had mentioned something called Park Run (or sometimes Park Walk) which is an event for runners and walkers (started in the UK, the first US one is a city away from me). I actually have quite a few parks around here, although the neighboorhood i live in is so pretty and quiet, i dont have to go far at all to have a good walk.clicketykeys wrote: »So glad you had a great day!

Daily gratitude: went to the eye doctor today because I’ve been seeing floaters recently and didn’t know if it was something to worry about or not. But the doctor said my eyes look fine so now my mind is at ease. Also, my yoga and crocheting both seemed a little easier today so I’m happy with that.

@pridesabtch - Work is going OK right now because my boss is on a leave.
It was a tough year last year.
ADHD - I am shocked at how many people have been diagnosed lately in my circle of young women. When they tell me it’s like it all makes sense.
@Bex953172 and @pridesabtch - you two have described my daughter perfectly. In all of it. I appreciate hearing it from other perspectives. We had a house fire in 2005 when she was 16. We were away camping for the weekend and came home to a sign on the door. The fire chief that met with us, asked whose bedroom hers was and told her how dangerous it was not only for her if she would have been there and couldn’t get out safely, but also for his crew that had to go in blind. Like you Bex, she could tell you where anything was though.
@cgottschlich - I agree I think everyone has some form of it. I know there are a lot of things I’m noticing about myself that probably is and I’ll be 55 this year.
Have a great day tomorrow

Awh nooo
don't think any mother is ready for that! I'm certainly not and I've got ages to go!
I'm dreading the teen years when I have to let them go out by themselves. Or even when they're old enough to go to nightclubs. I'm gonna be a nervous wreck.1 -
I had a busy busy day yesterday.
The kids have nits again, it's tricky because I paid for the treatment but then on the box it says "re-treat in 7 days". But by then I've used the solution and it's not exactly cheap. Around £10/bottle and it does one maybe 2 treatments, so I have to spend £20 just to do the four of us.
Anyway I rang the Drs asking if they could prescribe something instead because I can't afford the treatments right now. And they said they don't prescribe but I can go to a particular pharmacy that is part of the Minor Ailment Scheme over here in the UK. Where people who would normally get prescriptions free (low income, under 16, over 60 or medical exemption) can get free OTC medicine.
So I went there, it's an hour walk to go there and come home. I went, then they had to order it in because there was non on the shelves. It arrived that afternoon and are not open on Saturdays so I had to walk there again.
So two 1hr walks yesterday, I was shattered, my feet and ankles hurt. And I'll be honest, they've gave me the most rubbish treatment ever.
When I was a kid the treatments were ones you'd have to leave in for 8 hours. So you're talking around 22 years ago. Since then, the treatments available roughly take 15 minutes, with some.more expensive ones needing only 5 minutes to be effective. There's spray bottles, foaming sprays, gel sprays, all these wonderful advancements in treatments and they give.me the 8 hour solution without the spray bottle which means I'm gonna get it everywhere because I'm gonna have to pour it in their heads?
So it's difficult. I'm grateful for the free treatment. It helps alot. But it was not worth the two hour walk. It was for the kids sake, but not for the treatment they got.
Anyway. If you made it this far.. thank you. And sorry haha I keep making really long posts at the minute just chatting bout.my life lmao x4 -

Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.

- Try new recipes now that I have the time
- Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
- Continue PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km. Not the full challenge, but with knee issues early in year, I was happy to get this far.
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps
- register for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ I had to cancel in 2022 due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised)
- register for Bellin 10K on 6.10.23 ~ 2022 first time in person since 2019 & not as large of turnout, still 4,000+ participants
- register for Packers 5K ~ date TBD
- register for Bellin Women's 5K ~ date TBD (1,000+ for all races in 2022)

Busy day so far. I think one of my alarms didnt go off because in a blink it was a whole hour and a half later. Had to rush a shower and get out a door for a coffee date. But it was all good.
Yesterday was good eatin'. This morning i did my weighin for both WW and a small local weightloss contest.
Everything is looking okay.
Now i gotta log my points and write my agenda. Some stuff i *will* get done today (hubby is comin' home tonight).
OKAY SO AGENDA
- Descale and sanitize humidifier
- Which means going to the hardware store for bleach (ideally before the storm rolls in)
- Wash the bathroom rug
- Clean kitchen counters
- Wash towels
- Mop floors
- Re-org bathroom
- Order more floss (x2 this time!)✔️
- Vaccuum bedroom
- Find place for humidifier box
- (if theres time) Vacuum couch
It's 15:44 now, and hubby gets in at 21:22, and it takes about a half hour to get home, so i have until 22:00 (6¼ hours) if he ubers, and until 20:30 (4¾ hours) if i want to pick him up. Wew, time to get crackin'.

Is there a limit to how many times you can edit a post? I'm confused. The edit button was there a second ago....0

You can edit it for one hour after you post it, then you can’t.

Goals for 1/7
- Yoga ✅
- Crochet ✅
- Log all food and water ✅
- Make progress with editing ✅
Daily gratitude: I made a huge chunk of progress with the editing - should be able to finish tomorrow. I’m also proud of myself for sticking with my yoga practice, which was all focused on core today. Had to do a few modifications, but it felt so good when it was done.
I really need to focus on drinking more water. It’s like I forget about it after work and on the weekends for some reason. So that’s going to be my main goal for tomorrow: drink at least 32 oz.2 -

I can't remove the bandage from my finger for 3 more days incase it starts bleeding. Kinda nervous because I'm only to remove the outer bandage. not the surgical foam. but it so soaked I'm worried I'll pull it all out. but still hard to type!

Oh strange, i think i misread somehow. I thought you had mentioned something called Park Run (or sometimes Park Walk) which is an event for runners and walkers (started in the UK, the first US one is a city away from me). I actually have quite a few parks around here, although the neighboorhood i live in is so pretty and quiet, i dont have to go far at all to have a good walk.clicketykeys wrote: »So glad you had a great day!

Oh! No, not as an event. Just a more concise way of saying "going for walk (or run) at a nearby park." 1 -
