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

So.... I took all my boundaries and bent them over the weekend. I didn't log into the community boards at all either. Nothing like ducking on my accountability when I knew I was messing myself up. I didn't totally break all my rules, but I didn't follow them either. The problem with that is I made sure my "rules" included things for events and occasions and I still bent them all over the place. However, I didn't go too crazy and I know that my going over for 2 days isn't going to end all my other good work. I'm picking myself up and starting fresh today.... of course, I have another "event" today so that isn't exactly helping things. Just hoping I keep to my limits and remember that my health is most important.
JFT:
☑️Drink at least 72oz water
☑️Stay under 1800 calories
☑️No coffee until 8am
☑️No food until 10am
☑️Get at least 5000 steps today
☑️Set up food for book club movie night
💙Remind myself that my diabetes is under control with diet and exercise as often as I need reminding
💙Truth journal why I'm eating if I feel the "need" to go off course

- Work on Gaston’s blunderbuster
- Shower
- Bed by 11:00
Worked with the pup and props for the play. Not sure I like the blunderbuster, but I think with some touch up paint it will be fine. I just did rough color with spray paint yesterday and it looks sloppy. Hopefully I can fix it. The magic mirror turned out well, at least my kid likes it.
Was up early with the pup, but still late for work because I laid back down. Always a mistake, I'm just not used to the 2:00am / 6:00am thing any more. After I let her out I can't just throw her back in the kennel, I gotta give her a little play time. I've been bad though, when I let her out at 2:00, I've been letting her sleep on the couch with me until she gets up around 6:00am. Then it's out to pee, feed breakfast, play for a bit, out to poo, bakc to the kennel so I can get ready for work. That is the plan, but when I alter the plan, it doesn't work well. Hence, I didn't have time to shower this morning. Dry shampoo and a ball cap for the win today. Rushed out and forgot my meds, but I need to go home around 11:00 and let the pooch out anyway. Should work out.
Have a fair amount of work stuff to do, but I am waiting on others to do their part before I can get to my part.
This evening I'm teaching spin again. I do so love my spin classes, but the dog is going to be nuts when I finally get home for the evening after being kenneled all day. She is not used to that. I'm totally wrapped around Gia's little finger. I'll be a wreck with actual grand kids some day. After I get some puppy time in, I will work on the blunder buster some more. Hopefully get that knocked out.

@Bex953172 You seem to be a great mum. Kids, especially 3 close together, can make anyone doubt themselves. I felt good as a mom when the kids were young, of course now I question every decision I made because they are struggling. I think we so badly want things to be easier and happier for our kids that we forget we aren't really in control. We do our best to provide a good stable home and love, but we can't fix everything. You've got this!
@teigansdad Having your kids drive is both the scariest thing ever and the most freeing. Vanessa totaled her first car the week after she got her license, but wasn't hurt. It was hard to let her go back out there after that, but she needed to. It was a growing experience for both of us. It's been over a year now, and her driving is SOOOOO much better. I still worry, but not like I did. At first it was very freeing for her to drive herself back and forth to practices and to events. Now I treasure our time in the car, as it is about the only time we actually take time to talk about life. Don't get me wrong , we talk at home, but in the car there are fewer distractions. Teigan will do well, you are raising an independent kid. That is a good thing.2 -

Happy Monday JFTers! I need a good kick in the butt. I am self-sabotaging at every turn lately. I don't know if it's because I've been in pain and don't want to make it worse or if I'm depressed because I hurt all the time--I suspect it's a combination of the two. It doesn't help that we got 15" of snow again this weekend and spring seems like it'll never get here. Regardless of the reason, sitting and watching tv and eating mindlessly when I'm not even hungry is getting me nowhere real quick. I'm an emotional eater...I might as well move my recliner in front of the refrigerator with a tv remote when I'm depressed or anxious, because all I'm going to do is sit and eat. I have to find a way to turn that around. My brain KNOWS what I need to do and it even knows HOW to do it...it's the follow through that is lacking terribly lately.
@Bex953172 I understand your feelings of wanting to cover up and the feeling of summer coming and will I be able to do anything in time. I feel the same way but realistically, if we never start, then next summer we will be in the same position. It has to start somewhere, right? I was happy to see you post that you used your phone and found a way. Good for you! I'm going to get off my *kitten* today and get some activity in also. Thanks for sharing! (P.S. I agree with @pridesabtch! You are a really good mom!
Raising 3 young kids is hard! I know this from experience...)

Recap Sunday 3/26
1) At church 7:20am for choir warm-ups, services at 7:45 & 9:00
2) Move hourly
14.9K 54 floors (mostly on dog walk) 14/14 boom! (it's been a while 
)
3) Walk dog at tech school (I checked campus on way home from church, and lots/walkways are better than neighborhood roads) 4.2 mi happy dog & happy me
4) Leftovers for supper / net calories zero / 72+ oz. water
Did well all day, evening watching tv I wanted/needed a little something so got out pita chips & hummus. Mistake #1 not counting out chips & putting bag away. Then hubby joined me in family room & ate his chips with hummus with me. Totally distracted me from counting chips (mistake #2) and I ate way more than I should. Logged my best guess this morning ~ ACK! Net cals -415, sodium HORRIBLE, fiber protein fat excellent, carbs pretty good, 72 oz. water
5) Any ta-da's?
some digital decluttering, that's about it... truly a day of rest & that's ok
6) Floss / retainers / pray
JFT M 3/27 ~ beautiful day & snow is melting fast in warm March sun ~ yay!
1) Walk dog in afternoon
2) Move hourly
3) Not sure about supper, probably leftovers / net calories zero / 72+ oz. water
4) Ta-da's: spent time this morning with hubby replacing light fixture in powder room finally! & got rid of ugly, dated one YAY! / digital decluttering (so much left!) / clear some papers / LCEF? / find hubby's life insurance info to check on / review Easter dinner recipes & get organized / anything else?
5) Floss / retainers / pray
Went to bed too late due to watching Columbo marathon... why?! Then in middle of night, the smoke detector in late MIL's room down the hall went off. The alarm that's extra loud and has strobing lights go off for hard of hearing folks. Wow, that will wake the dead! Hubby jumped to pull the plug & check things out, no real emergency, thank God. But caused me to sleep in a bit later than I prefer, and woke with headache. Overnight oats, water, coffee & Excedrin later and feeling good again.
100 days from now reminder: What I do today gets me where I want to be. [Feb. 1 - May 11] Day 54

February 55.79 miles YTD 103.93 miles- 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 =
- Registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised) from walking in another frigid 5K.
- Registered for Bellin 10K on 6.10.23 ~ 2022 first time in person since 2019; 2023 added 5K event.
- register for Packers 5K ~ date TBD
- register for Bellin Women's 5K ~ date TBD (1,000+ for all races in 2022)
- watch for other events to possibly add ~ learned of Pi Day race, but did not enter
- Excellent goal previous years, to be continued
- Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in mid to late 80s and live 90 miles away
- Monthly contact with former colleagues/others in town, now that I'm retired
1.12.23 lunch w/ CH
2.11.23 ART Nite w/ PZ (supper, gallery, bar w/ live music)

Super busy day today, and I am SO tired! I will try and read back through the posts tomorrow.
Today at 9 they delivered 5 cubic yards of compost for my flower beds. I have a little wagon .. but its still shoveling all this into my wagon.. pulling it to the backyard.. shoveling it out of the wagon and spreading it on my flower beds. If you don't know how much a cubic yard it .. it is like one big scoop from one of those loaders (1 cubic yard is equivalent to 25-30 bags!).
So ... my back hurts; my legs hurt; my arms hurt! But .. at least it is finished!
Yesterday I had the most awful day with snacking .. so hopefully I wore some of that off!
So goals tomorrow.
1. log all my food
2. concentrate on water in the evening
3. instead of snacking.. brush teeth; chew gum; drink water2 -

I didn't get the walk in but DH and I parked our butts in the backyard and enjoyed the sun that way. We had already done a pool workout so just sitting in the yard probably did us more good mentally...If I don't feel like I got to seriously relax over the weekend I can get to pouting which can lead to going off the rails, so...I just have to stay calm today with the stress at work and do my best. Will get a yoga stretch in to quiet my brain. Make it a good day everyone!
JFT:
1. Log and stay within calories
2. strength workout & stretch
3. 100 oz of water
4. Get through the day and just stay calm. If anxiety starts to get too much step out for a 10 minute walk and go breathe by the water.
Haha I'm the same!!! And I didn't know other people got like that!
If I don't have atleast one day on the weekend where I'm chilled out then I get really cranky.
Mines due to the kids though, not in a bad way, just school runs all week, tidying up 24/7 and generally meeting all their needs is exhausting especially when I have 3. But that mental test on the weekend makes suvh a difference!

Jumping on quickly before grandson arrives.
The last 3 days have been okay food-wise, partly because I didn't feel very well at the weekend.
Yesterday was glorious, it was frosty but sunny, and grandson and I were outside all afternoon. He was so happy, playing and running races. What a differernce some sunshine makes. We even had an ice cream outside as our snack. Sadly, back to rain today.
JFT Tuesday 28th
3 sensible meals
Only one snack
Grocery shopping
Back exercises
I'm another one realising summer is getting closer. I must weigh myself tomorrow.

Well I had an epic day yesterday considering my post yesterday sounded glum and uninspiring.
I got off my butt, did my exercise. Then I started cleaning the girls rooms ready for decorating next week.
Then I had a bit of a chill with Ash and then we made some brunch. He was doing eggs and bacon. I suggested beans too and I told him I dont want any bread. He asked why, I explained I'm trying again and I've showed him the diary part of the app more in-depth and he saw the macros.
So he gave me the most basic run down on macros and said I should be watching them too because that can help.
I'm not on premium MFP so I can only see Carbs, Fat and Protein. For anyone on premium do you see more? I know I can "analyze" my foods with premium but tbh I don't wanna pay.
The rest of the day was good too.. the school is a mile away so I'm walking 4 miles per day every Mon-Friday.
Then me and ash had a well nice dinner which was healthy enough for me!
I was pretty much on track with my macros too! Maybe a little over on carbs but I had around 800 cals left so I did allow myself some Doritos 😍
So does anyone else on here follow macros too? Either premium or free-version?
And also what do you do when you've used your macros but have calories left?
For example, I had consumed the whole amount of carbs and fat but not all the protein. So does that mean I could have a snack as long as it wasnt a carb/fatty snack?

Under 2 k✅
Drink 10-13 glasses of water✅
No food after 9✅
Log all food✅
No beer✅
20-30 minute treadmill💩
Didn’t do treadmill last night… feel like I look for excuses not to do it as I really do not enjoy running as much as cycling especially indoors. I had just enough things to do that would have put me on there running at 8pm and I just couldn’t find the motivation. Todays the big day for Teigan say a little prayer for her. I think she’s ready … Sara’s gonna get her at school at 12:30 to take the drivers test then back to school after so she doesn’t miss too much..
I’ve gotta reschedule the HVAC guy again. I need to find a different company because each time they come if I don’t schedule first appointment of the day I’m stuck waiting all day and maybe they will come. Plus they always try to find something to replace or sell me
Goals for today
Call hvac
Stay under 2k
RUN after work
12-13 glasses of water
Log all food
No beer
No food after 9

Good morning!!!!
Last night I hosted The Bone Collector movie night for my smaller book club. We read the book as part of a "Read A Book That Inspired A Movie" challenge. We decided that if the book was made into a movie, we needed to watch the movie.... and I'm a sucker for anything with a theme. Isn't this table great?!? Sorry, but it was just too fun not to share.
I also got my most recent blog recipe up this morning. I had already scheduled it to post so this morning it already went live before I was even online. I had made a big pan on Spanish Rice for my husband's office party and decided to bump up when I dropped it on the blog because his co-workers asked about the recipe. I decided to share it with everyone instead of just his office. If anyone needs a Spanish Rice recipe this one is mine. https://www.healthyeatingwithlinda.com/post/spanish-rice-for-a-crowd

13. Therapy thoughts: Achieving fitness goals is especially difficult when snacking is apparently the only effective, inexpensive, convenient de-stresser and I'm stressed almost all the time. Progress: Work on reflecting on progress. Regressive behavior is now minimal. ASK about what's scary about the room. About what else in her life (now or previously) is/was like that. Normalize putting the blankets away EVERY MORNING. Then move to doing it FIRST, along with getting dressed. What do I do about the fact that nothing really seems fun? "Having fun" is something of a chore.
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared."
WFTY: Priorities. Weight is steady today despite birthday Five Guys AND pie last night! So I'm feeling quite pleased about that.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.2 -

so far today:
almond oat crunch cheerios with almond milk
mandarin
banana
4 fat free honey graham crackers

roaster chicken breast (no skin) with honey mustard dressing
snacks:
fat free greek vanilla yogurt with PB2, slivered almonds, granola

It was a rough week; I ended up gaining about a pound
I did my first workout on Wednesday, and ended up with sharp pain in my injured knee. I wasn't able to work out the rest of the week. It feels better today, but I haven't been on it continuously like I am at work. I'm going to bring it up at my PT appointment this afternoon.
I did try to continue logging my food and water intake, though I didn't always make the healthiest choices. I could just be bloated, but I was hoping to see the scale go in the other direction. Oh well, I'll keep at it...
Today is Weigh In DayStarting Weight (March 21, 2023): 210 lbs
March Goal Weight: 205 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 130 lbs
March 28: 211 (+ 1 lb)
March 31:
Total March Gain/Loss: + 1 lb
Total Gain/Loss: + 1 lb

Pooch was a holy terror yesterday when I got home from work. Her first full day in the kennel was rough on her. I walked her and played with her for over an hour and still all she wanted to do was bite me. She didn't settle down until like 9:00 at which point Tim got home and spent time with her and I went up stairs with the mellow dog. He has been very jealous of my time. Got everything done yesterday except finishing my prop gun for Beauty & the Beast.
Today I'm working from home because I'm old and have a colonoscopy tomorrow. Prep is no joke. Right now I'm just starving though. Wish me luck, I've not had one before! SO I guess we all know what I'll be doing this evening... Procedure isn't until 10:30 tomorrow. I will definitely be hangry by then.
