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

Had a lovely weekend away with the boyfriend - weather was appalling, but we had a good time regardless! It was a mixed bag food-wise - I made some good choices, but lots of bad ones too. However, back to normality and good choices now!

Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Exercise class after work
- Stay calm and positive
- Update to-do list

still staying on the Always hungry book plan. that's my main goal.

Come up with a couple of ideas for paintings

Last fall when I was unemployed I started a Paint Night at Home business. I really need to get some new paintings done to put on my FB page. I am getting tonnes of views but since I have no new paintings posted no one is interested in what they see. This would be a big help financially, I need to buckle down and do it!

My younger daughter is pushing all my buttons this afternoon and I am staring at a kitchen full of chocolate Easter eggs. I am not going to eat them. It will only make me more annoyed and throw disappointment and upset into the mix.

Sorry - just needed to write that out somewhere! X

How old is she? My eldest (4) has been pushing all mine!
She keeps waking EVERYONE up at 6.30am!
I don’t mind if she just wakes me but she wakes her dad (which is like waking a lion... you don’t do it) and then her sister and then the baby!
But only when she’s ate a whole bag of sweets and waves the wrapper in my face to wake me up.
So I wake up to being angry at her every single day.
She just doesn’t get that it’s not okay despite being disciplined and told over and over and over again.

4. work on new quilt I am starting --- need to cut up over 400 1.5" pieces!! Am I crazy or what!! It will be a totally scrappy quilt!

6. Get hair cut/colored

Joan, yes you are crazy! BWAHAHAHAHA! However, I cannot WAIT to see this one progress. I love, love, love scrappy quilts!

I'm also going to get my hair cut/colored. I am leaving in 20 minutes and cannot wait! It is the one thing I do for myself each month that is totally selfish. I hate spending the money on it, but I love the relaxation time sitting in the chair reading a magazine!

Didn’t post any goals today
Thinking I might just go back to calorie counting temporarily until I understand this macro stuff!
Not sure how much water I’ve had today but I’m thinking around 6 glasses.

Casey finally got registered today!
So have her birth certificate!

OH did the shopping. And i did the absolute tedious task of cleaning the whole fridge.
I hate doing it. It’s in a cupboard under the stairs and when you open the door it opens fully but not wide enough to pull the shelves and drawer out so you need to shift the whole thing on an angle.
And part of it had frozen over as the hole where excess water goes froze over and got blocked and my god it was just a mess.
But now it’s so clean and organised.

I’m getting round the house doing all the €rally jobs. Tomorrow it’s clean the car and reorganise the kids car seats. And tidy the girls room as it’s an absolute tip!!
And then.... the oven. Everyone hates the oven. But someone’s gotta do it!!!

So goals for tomorrow

- 8 glasses
- Log all food - regardless of how much i eat
- Clean girls room
- Clean car
- Fix pipe at the back of the house
- Oven if I have time


*sigh* I’m tired.

Hi kiddos. I”VE MISSED YOU ALL. I had to ‘read’ over 1500 posts to catch up. Here are some notes I made while reading thru.

Belated Happy Birthday! To @Bex953172 and Tracie (@OConnell5483) and @clicketykeys

Bex - The pic of your girls with the baby was hysterical. And I’m so impressed with how you got back to your pre-preggo weight. Good job.

@OConnell5483 when you said, “ I started therapy (lymphatic massage in my arm) and am feeling much better! …. I think you will really like how colorful it is!” My first thought was that your arm was colorful due to treatment – bruises, etc. I was thinking “Good thing she has a sense of humor about it.”

@HGSmith0920 - New job!? Yay! Thank you Hannah for sending me a PM. Your snow pics were so calming. I am so happy to read about your new job.

@cschmitz110515 - Ah CPE. I have different certification but I like to get that done well in advance.

@Toaljasa - you are so freaking positive. It is very uplifting.

@joan6630 - That quilt is magnificent. Love the border.

@Snowflake1968 - Do 10 something's every hour is a great goal.

@bcTRAI - you are right about negative words. I urge others not to do that, but then do it to myself. My page-a-day desk calendar this year is focused on positivity and I am really enjoying flipping it. I sometimes snapchat it to both my daughter and my son.

The last couple months (or so - it has been too long) have been a challenge but not all bad. Had some daughter troubles that made me withdraw into my shell. She got back with the a$shole and when I found out I just kinda spiraled down – mostly because I thought we were doing well and she hid it from her dad and I. It’s over again with him and I am literally praying that this time she has the wisdom to see how manipulative he is and how bad for her (or any woman.)

Contentment is provided most days by the new job and the fact that I had the sense to move when the time was right. I had my first trip to see distant staff and that went well. But I did miss my flight out which screwed up that days travel and then the airline cancelled my return flight. Had the Travel Company jump all over that once I realized it. My DH suggested mid-week that perhaps I should see if I had a way home. Thank goodness he did!

I have been eating badly. No excuses. Badly is not even the right word. I have overindulged like a Roman at an orgy. Except I have not been eating such delicacies as larks’ tongues, sterile sows’ wombs, and milk-fed snails.* No – it has been peanut M&Ms, ice cream, freaking bread and butter and large unmeasured portions of other food items that should be eaten in moderation.

While I did not mind taking a break for a while I have returned to some bad habits and must instead get back to my good habits, like checking in here.

So – JUST FOR TOMORROW
Up at six
Work at seven thirty
Finish quarterly reviews
Clear up AP issues with deceased employee payments
Fitness blender video
and ….. wait for it …….. 8 glasses of water!

1. Shower before work Had to make it quick though so I got up late. Lol
2. Prep lunch for the DH and I
3. Work 1015-515 Had ANOTHER great day!
4. Dinner/Dishes(Leftovers) I had rubbish. Lol. A beer and a chocolate mug cake! The DH is closing tonight so I didnt have to make dinner and I had leftovers for lunch. I didnt feel like having them again. I also am w/o my car so I couldnt go anywhere for food.
5. Take a walk Only about a .5 mile but its still something. I walked around town on my break for a bit as well.
6. Transfer $ This was a total pain. I couldnt do it because of some stupid things. Will have to wait until W or Th
7. Clean a bit Not yet. I will probably finish the dishes and clean off the table.
8. Oatmeal in the CP Too early but I will do this around 10.
9. Tech off by 10:30 Seeing as how it's only 8:30 I probably will. Lol.
10. Bed by 11:30 Depends on when the DH gets home. We have some things to talk about.

I'm not sure if I mentioned that my current Branch Manager is going to be leaving the company in 2.5 weeks. My head teller(who was hired 2 weeks before me) is meeting with our Retail VP and will probably be offered the position. I found out from her that she will be telling him that she wants me to be her Head Teller! I'm totally surprised! I didnt even think about getting it. She wants there to be a plan in place of what is going to happen before she takes the position. And apparently, part of her plan is to see me get her current position. That would be amazing if I got it! So I may be getting a promotion/raise and my DH may be getting a promotion/raise in November. This will be an awesome year if this happens! Lol. I was totally stunned when she asked me if it would be okay to talk to him about it! That's one of the things I have to talk to my DH about. I haven't mentioned anything about it to him because it's too much to explain via text message. Lol.

I've also been car shopping around for when we finally get the money we are supposed to be getting! I can't begin to tell you how much I miss my car! Lol. I've been home since 530 twiddling my thumbs because I am car-less. Lol.

We got out of work at a reasonable time tonight. I think we left about 10 minutes after we were supposed to. We call that a win! We need to start doing a few of the ending day things earlier in the afternoon so that we dont have to wait for them to finish processing before we leave. I usually close up my drawer early so I think I will try to start doing them once I am done. I think that will definitely help us get out of there even quicker. Lol.

Hockey playoffs start tomorrow so that will be awesome. The Pens are playing their biggest rivals in the first round. It is going to be an interesting series. Lol.

Um...I think that is it. Lol.

Onto my list for tomorrow I suppose,

1. Up @ 6
2. Weigh/Breakfast
3. Pray/meditation
4. DH up @ 730
5. Prep lunches
6. Bring workout clothes to work
6. Leave @ 750
7. Work 815-515
8. Yoga session or gym(possibly)
9. Dinner/Dishes(leftovers)
10. Pens game!!!!
11. Tech off by 10:30
12. Bed by 11:30

I hope everyone has a great night!!!
