Just for today --- daily commitment thread

Hi Vicky,

My name is Michelle, and I would like to join your group. One day at a time is a brilliant way to deal with with weight management. I have a brain injury, and holding things like goals and plans in my mind is difficult. When I read your beginning posts on this thread, I realized I can do that! I do not have to think about next year or next week, just the present moment.
My biggest challenge is being consistent with exercise. I am 57 years old and I can practically see and feel my muscles turning to fat. Okay, I exaggerated. But you get the picture. I should be doing the recommended amount of exercise for health at a minimum. One of the problems is me. I must have Lead in my *kitten*!
Today I did not eat anything but coffee and water until 5:00 pm. I decided to go shopping early this afternoon, and it turned into a quest. I got some new bras that fit right. I was surprised at how hard it is to find 34DD. The last time I was measured that is what it was. I have been squishing them into a C cup for a long time. No wonder I hurt where the wires are. I found some very good deals. I saved more than I spent! I think shopping should be on the list of activities. Maybe I just haven't found it yet.
I am sorry for your loss. I know who hard it is. When both my parents died of cancer within a year of each other, I was really a mess. But that waster thirty years ago, I think I am at peace. I hope you are too. My goal for today was to get some exercise and go shopping at the Kohl's sale. I achieved my goal for today.

I just had a follow-up appointment with my Oncologist and got the "all clear". They changed my schedule to only coming every six months now, so that's exciting and scary at the same time!

So....JFT, I will:

• Be grateful for another day, for still being in remission, and not sweat the small stuff
• Log my food faithfully
• Make healthy choices
• Get in some sort of activity

Have a fantastic day everyone!

Congratulations! {{{hugs}}}

JFT Wednesday 12/08
1. Shop for groceries
2. Pre-plan menus; stick to plan
3. 10,000+ steps; Arms workout; Yoga
4. Still looking for that elusive dress for next week I am wasting no more time on this as I already have the perfect outfit. Now I just need the accessories.

Be gentle, kind and patient, to yourself as well as to others.

Hi vicky. I just now scrolled through old posts and noticed you lost your dad while I was away. Hugs to you. I lost mine three years ago, and I was a total daddy's girl! :-) I don't know anything about your situation or if it was expected, etc. But I can attest to the fact that grief doesn't care about any of that. give yourself a healthy way to grieve. I didn't, and it eventually brought me to MFP. (I am happy to be here though)

Thanks so much Myra. Dad was sick for about 10 weeks before he passed away. It was a very hard time for him and my brother, sister and myself. But we cared for him admirably I thought and gave him the best care and love we could.

Now we are trying to clean out his house that he lived in for 60 years. He also had 5 rental houses that have to be dealt with. We are getting there slowly but surely.

As you know this is difficult but I do have the loving support of my siblings. It is an amazing tribute to my parents how well we are agreeing on everything. I really appreciate that because I know how rare that is.

I have maintained my weight thru it all. Miracle!!!
