JUST FOR TODAY ....... One day at a time ..... Daily Commitment Thread for 2018
Replies

Well, yesterday was another terrible day, as you've seen. Despite that though, I stayed on track with my food. Go me!
- log everything I eat
- stick to food plan
- drink 3 water bottles across the day Genuinely have no idea, which probably means no
- read Response cards twice today Not even once. At the moment this isn't stopping me staying on track though. Maybe I should be realistic about what will work for ME and take it down to once (plus extra readings at times I know I may struggle).
- 30 minute lunch break No. barely five minutes. This is getting silly now, I KNOW that lunch break is crucial for me.
- exercise class after work
- leave by 7 LATEST No...
Today's commitments -
- log everything I eat
- stick to food plan
- drink 3 water bottles across the day

- 1 HOUR lunch break
- meditate
- leave by 6
- keep emails closed, read only at selected intervals
- do not get drawn into email discussion re ridiculous self-inflicted non-problem (I'm not the 'self'!) - unless actually have to

Don't Vape
Get to gym for cardio after school if little one is feeling well enough to be with bigger one

JFT 1/31/18
1. Up by 7 620
2. Quiet time/journal I did my quiet time but not the journaling.
3. BEACHWOOD TIRE!!!!

Lol
11. Wash face/brush teeth
12. Bed by 11 1045 I think. Lol
So I didn't get much done yesterday. The problem was I forgot to take my meds on Tuesday night so I took them yesterday morning. Well, they make me really tired which is why I take them before bed usually. So I got the DH up and out of bed and off to work and had to lay down again because I was so tired. I got up a half an hour later, ran to the store and got everything I needed to clean the shower and FINALLY conquered that task that took all of about 5 minutes. Lol. After I called the tire place and they said that if I came right then that they could do the car. So I race down there and 2.5 hours later my car is fixed! It was a really long wait but I ended up realizing that I know the owner. Lol. And she was super apologetic about the wait and I knew it wasn't her fault. It was the customer before me. But it was worth the wait. The work was only a little over $150 and the car drives great now! I and my DH love it there. We go there for pretty much everything because they are so reasonable and the people are just so awesome. Lol. I got home about quarter to two and ended up eating something and going back to sleep. I was so tired! I slept for two hours until the DH got home, made dinner, cleaned it up and passed back out on the couch. Lol. I guess I really needed the sleep. I slept pretty much through the night as well. So all in all, even though I didn't get much of my list done it was a good day. So on to today!

Scale goals
Dec 1 weigh-in: 176.6
End of 2017: 174.6
Jan 31 goal - PREVIOUS: 169. That's a 1.5 lb/week drop from a start of 175, which makes the math a little easier!
Jan 31 goal - REVISED: 172. *sigh*
Goal for 1/29: 173. Today: 174.4
Yesterday didn't completely suck, but everything seemed to take significantly longer than I'd planned for. I had to stay up late and pace the house just to get to 10k steps. Did NOT make 11k, let alone stretch for 12. I have SO much to do for school. I'm just drained and frustrated.5 -
JFT - Thursday is my busy day. Stay focused and work your goal. Work it honey.
Track food
DRINK YOUR WATER - 80 oz
15 min youtube video
You kids have a great day.6 -

1. stick to calorie goal

3. Go for a swim and sauna
4. Metafit class
I’d forgotten how amazing swimming can feel- completely lost myself in it and well under my calorie goal after all this exercising. I’m currently aiming for 1lb loss a week but wondering about sometimes aiming to eat 500 calories under my goal- to make me at the 2lb week loss range, but without the pressure of always aiming for this which comes from changing calorie goal formally. Oh decisions decisions!

Recap Wed 1/31 = I was off work and drove 3hr round trip. Spent afternoon at my parents' to celebrate mom's 81st birthday. I baked a cake for her and of course ate some with her, dad and two of my brothers. I'm fine with that. Dad, who's an excellent cook, made lasagna for our noon meal. Not sure how accurate logging was, but I tried. Net calories & sugar red, sodium green, fiber ok, protein excellent and 11c water.
Before driving, walked dog 2.73 miles in snowburst, so had to go slow (I like to walk fast) because fresh snow covered icy patches. Happy dog Fitbit 10,425 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours & 13 floors.

Well, I had a huge fight with my wireless printer/computer! Lol. The software I was given to connect it froze my computer twice so I had to manually shut it off twice. It was until I decided to just download the software as a wired connection then internet that it actually worked. I figure I can connect it to the wifi at a later day. So an hour later it's finally all done and all the tax stuff/budget stuff is all printed and looks great. I haven't tried the color ink yet. I'll try that later. Lol. I think it may be time for a nap before I hit the gym since I've decided to follow @cschmitz110515 example and just have leftovers tonight since my original dinner plan got shot down because I didn't know I didn't have an ingredient. Lol. I am not going to go to the store for one thing. I'll just adapt. Lol.
I hope everyone's day is going well!4 -

I like the idea of daily commitment. I was doing great staying on track and getting my workouts in them wham....Monday it was like I had an elephant on my chest. Still I get winded so easily, my heart keeps doing odd things. Plus some other symptoms, I dont think it’s the flu cause I have none of those symptoms. The nurse in me kept going back and forth, but I’m waiting on a appt. as I type this. So fingers crossed.
But I’ve tried hard to still log my food even though I’ve been out of sorts. Since the walk to the mailbox winds me I haven’t done much exercising5 -

Oh my word, that was me on my fourth child. We homeschooled and I remember giving a spelling test. I would literally call out the word and immediately go into a deep sleep. The kids would write down the word then wake me up. I'd startle out of a sleep, call the next word and zonk right out again. Those kids could have crept away and I wouldn't have known it...or just completed the spelling test and tell me that I'd given the last word.. I was just so tired. My husband was gone during the week and home only on weekends...no doubt that contributed to the weariness.
Haha, then a few weeks after the baby, I took the kids swimming at the city pool. I was holding the baby on the steps in the wading area feeling worn out. A lady sat down next to me and oohs and ahhs over the baby. She asked me when he was born. For the the life of me I could not remember the date! I just looked at her for several seconds and then said, "I've got no idea." She quietly slipped away, lololol2 -

Welcome! This is a very encouraging community. Just so you know, on this particular board, a woo means woo-hoo, way to go! Unlike other places on MFP where it means "sounds too good to be true." So a woo is good here!3 -

Great job tracking your food and eating well! Wonderful. Read the response cards one little ol time (have no idea what they are but they seem important!!!) Are they short enough to tape a couple to your dash, bathroom mirror, etc?
