Just for today --- daily commitment thread

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!!

@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

JFT 03/09
1)Go to the gym and get in weight workout since I ran last night
2)Eat pre-logged dinner
3)Prepare healthy lunch for tomorrow
4)Go to bed by 11pm

Just for today I'll:

1. Go to the gym and lift weights
2. Finish my daily tasks
3. Get to bed by midnight

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.
