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

I’m in the same boat with a back issue and surgery coming up.
I know that eating is 80% of weight loss but still frustrating.
Especially when you want to exercise.
Hang in there we can do it!!!
Let’s just watch the calories.
This to shall pass💕

Well yesterday was a write off.
We went to the MILs... And that pretty much sums it up lol!
The girls behaved so badly there yesterday, it was a nightmare. Casey bumped her head on something and has a tiny cut above her eyebrow, Marley nearly choked on a small Russian doll that they had painted and had an unbelievable attitude, Saskia was the best out the lot but still far to giddy.
And I left with a headache and a bad mood lol.
I need to eat well today because tonorrow is weigh in day.

It's 7.30 am now and I'm super tired. The girls started screaming at 6.30 this morning, I was furious. I'm still half a sleep so will post some goals after a much needed coffee.

Well another cruddy day.

I feel like a right ¢rap parent at times. I can't get the girls to do anything I ask. It's like anything I say is a big joke and even when they've pushed it to where I'm yelling at them they still don't stop.

Anyway today is kind of the opposite of yesterday, it's 16.25 and I've not ate anything! I've literally just had one glass of water to take my tablets this morning. Oh wait I had breakfast actually but I'm so hungry I feel like I've ate nothing!

Partner has just bought pizzas, something quick. So probably not be in the green but I'm not even bothered. Just need to get through the rest of today and keep powering through.

What a weekend! Busy, busy, busy, and now I'm so tired I could drop. Going to bed after I type tomorrow's goals. It's only 7:15 p.m. but I'm just THAT tired.

I have an ankle injury and unable to workout. Depressing phase need support to eat clean and lose weight without exercise

Hi love... Might I suggest Chair exercises... They keep you moving and motivated
While you're healing. Using canned goods as hand weights, but keep it away from
the injury., leg lifts, but be mindful of your body. When your body says no to any
certain movement, pay attention and stop. You can bend at the waist from
side to side in reps of whatever ratio you choose...it will help your core.
By continuing to work on your upper body, you'll still be burning calories, toning, and
will lift your spirits.
And by all means visit here so we can love on you and help encourage you👏👏
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing.💖

Weekly weigh-in:

Goal weight: 154
October 15th: 164.25
October 22nd: 167.25
October 29th: 163
November 5th: 164.25
November 12th: 165.75

This is not going in the right direction!

I was doing well until Friday evening, then I went to a hen do over the weekend and it all fell apart. I actually made reasonable choices at meals, but evening snacking and drinking was my undoing. Particularly on the Saturday as I was hungover from the Friday and therefore craving carbs and stodge.

The next couple of weeks should be better - not going away so hopefully I will be able to eat healthily at the weekends so as not to totally undo the good work of the week!

I have to watch my drinking I think. I guess hen dos are a bit exceptional - I haven't been hungover like that in months - but I think it was really the alcohol that led to everything else and with Christmas events coming up it is probably the most important thing to watch...

Okay so after 4 hours sleep, a walk to school, a cup of tea and finally a nap I feel alive enough to get through today and concentrate on what I need to do!

Upcoming to-do:

Have students ask a parent or teacher what the most significant text they studied was, and then create a comparison between their challenge book and that text - which has more value and why? Possibly do the one-sheet as an assessment. Working on this with The Prince!
2. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun?

8. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac.
9. Make plan for classroom observations; ask other teachers about projects or lessons they feel confident about.
10. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion.
11. Design minibuttons with school logo, mascot, crest. Minibuttons that say THIS IS WHAT ANTIFASCISM LOOKS LIKE. White text on black bars on red background.

So, I called Walmart and they SWORE there would be frozen spinach. Then I got there and there's still that big empty spot, with a price sticker for it like it's SUPPOSED to be there. So I went to customer service and asked about it and they said "let me have someone check" so somebody came out and said "did you check over in this aisle?" and I'm like uh, YES. So we went and looked - again - and lo and behold, it had not magically appeared. So they called on the walkie and asked if there was any that needed to be brought out but were told there wasn't any other than what was on the shelves (nothing.)

I am GOING to get to the bottom of this!
