Just for today --- daily commitment thread
Replies

My maternal grandfather is very, very ill and in the hospital. Since my dad's a deadbeat alcoholic my grandfather has really stepped into his role over the last 10 years or so. I was so upset/crying/not sleeping last night and this morning that I decided to get one of those 450 cal apple pies from the vending machine at work.
With my finger over the button I stopped and got some sugar free gum instead.
I remembered that I had brought an apple as a snack, and that my grandfather would not want me to respond to his situation by clogging my own arteries with saturated fat.
Just for today, I will enjoy the hell out of my apple.
So sorry to hear about your grandfather. Well done for making good choices despite a stressful situation!!0 -
Just for today..I will not beat myself up for not tracking for 3 days and for making some bad choices!!!! Because I know when I stick with this it works!!!! I am back0

@mychelenc: That attitude is the one you need to be successful long-term.
JFT 03/08
1) Try and get in 4+ glasses of water 4 glasses, maybe slightly more (one of the glasses I used was likely 12 oz but I went on the conservative side to be safe) I think it helped somewhat with the late night snacks. Only 1 cookie and some pretzels.
2) Run tonight...4 miles plus strides
JFT 03/09
1) Minimum 5 glasses of water
2) Do yesterday’s run tonight instead of the rest day

Had flu for a week and my lifestyle changes went to hades. Caught myself dishing out huge portions.
Just for today:
1) stick to my limit
2) walk to work and try and get my 10k steps in. (Although there's a rapist on the loose in town and women are being advised not to walk alone at night so I'll play this by ear).
3) not beat myself up.0 -
Wow! Great ideas and what a way to stay mindful of the journey.
Just for today, I'm not going to think anything ugly about myself AND I'm going to bed at a reasonable time.
