Just for today --- daily commitment thread

[/quote]

Stuck mostly to yesterday's goals - I had a whole sandwich at Panera instead of half and half a salad. I consciously made the decision to do that, so I'm happy with the decision. And I went to sleep at 10!! It was because I was exhausted, but it was still 10!

JFT
1. Walk the last two flights of stairs at work if I end up going downstairs for anything (work on the 7th floor) - this one is also for tomorrow morning.
2. Go to bed at a reasonable hour again.
3. Stick to eating plan for dinner tonight - cooking at home.

Met the first and third goal from yesterday. Bed was at 11pm instead of 10pm, but still better than 1am!

I'm going to do today's and tomorrow's - not sure I'll be able to log in tomorrow.

JFT 9/24
1. Continue walking the last two flights of stairs at work
2. Walk down the 7 flights of stairs to go home from work tonight
3. Bed at a reasonable hour
4. Stick to tonight's dinner plan


JFT 9/25
1. Continue walking up the last two flights of stairs at work
2. Stick to today's lunch plan - cookout with my department at work. I have pre-planned and pre-tracked what I plan on eating.

Well, I was devastated by the bag of caramels at my bedside last night. Ate 15 of them sucker, which was 480 calories, so it blew my calories for the day. At least it was only 15, brought the rest of the bag to work with me this morning and gave them to my secretary!!!! Didn't get up to walk this am, going to set my alarm in the morning! But did get a 4 mile walk in yesterday with 1.4 of it jogging! Plan to do the same today!! I always tell myself today is a new day. Put in some prayers for all of those on the religious pilgrimage that died overseas! So horrible.

Just for today:
1) Stay in my calorie range
2) Drink 8 glasses of water
3) Walk/jog 4 miles after work
4) Be kinder to myself and others.
5) Remember to be thankful for what I have on a daily basis

Good idea, I think I will focus today on sticking to calorie goals one meal at a time instead of looking at the whole day of calories, will give this a try. You are either up very early or up very late.

No, actually I usually post in the late evening befor I go to bed, but not too late. I guess it depends on time zones because to me it looks like you posted at 4 am. I posted at 11 pm from Colorado.

I have been focusing on each meal for about two weeks now and it has really helped me. I am eating no more than 300 for breakfast, 300 for lunch and 600 for dinner and if I have a little left over from each, it adds up to a nice little evening snack.

@Exquisitern NSV giving away the caramels.
I find it helps not to have any food in the bedroom. It is too much temptation.

Rocked it yesterday.

JFT - traveling. Will not use that as an excuse to go crazy with the eating. Won't get much walking in because even if we stop for a break it is supposed to rain all day!!!

Just need to get out of this bed and walk some before we leave!

i'm SO VERY happy for you, that the scare is now in the PAST! i can honestly say I can't imagine the anxiety you experienced, but i'm glad you can now move on from it!

Thank you! I can't tell you how much weight I feel lifted from my shoulders!

Under my calorie goal but didn't make the best food choices
Worked out for 92 minutes including a 3.1 mile walk at a 16:23 pace
Didn't express my wellness mantra

For today:

I will stay under my calorie goal and make better choices
I will work out for 80 minutes
I will express my wellness mantra
I am expressing gratitude for being part of my loved mother in law's end of life journey. I am honored and very humbled.

So sorry for what you are going thru with MIL. Just lost my father in July so know how difficult it can be.

@WellingTX Condolences.
My beloved MIL passed away in 2013 after a long decline. May they both rest in peace.

@OConnell5483 I am so happy for you. I know the anguish of that wait while you have these things checked out.

Yesterday was good I got out in the sunshine to garden.
