JUST FOR TODAY -- One Day at a Time .... Daily commitment thread for 2019
Replies

I can do really good for 3-4 days, then I get out of control again. I am in that state right now. I think for years, I have used food as an escape... a way to not think about things.... a distraction. Even though I do a lot of sewing, and during the summer I am busy gardening, etc., the long winter always gets to me. I don't want to take medication, but I know I must suffer from seasonal depression ... hubby tells me I have been this way for 45 years. And ... this has been a LONG winter!! I need sunshine, and more fresh air. So what do I do ... eat.
Yesterday was a bad day. The neighbor girl was selling girl scout cookies, so back in January I ordered 3 boxes. they got delivered yesterday. Then last December we ordered popcorn from our grandsons fundraiser .... those came yesterday. (And not just popcorn ... chocolate stuff, carmel ,etc!!). I was going to just put all this stuff in the pantry for when we had company, but our daughter was over and opened the box .. well... enough said.
So today again I start over. This is why this is just one day at a time. One habit at a time. Today, I will use Discipline to do these goals.
JFT, Sunday
1. log my food .... all of it
2. concentrate on drinking water. I know water makes us feel full, helps us to lose weight, helps us feel better. So remember these things.
3. it is going to be in the upper 30s today. Even though it is a cloudy, dreary day ... go outside, even for just a 15 minute walk
4. brush/floss teeth tonite right after dinner to remind me that my eating is over. No nitetime, stress, comfort eating.
5. cut back on diet soda ... maybe one today, no more.

I’m always looking ahead for the future but I like the idea of this thread! I feel it’ll help keep motivation instead of overwhelming with future goals. I’m in ! ☺️ my over all goal is to lose 25 lbs . But rn I want to focus on just dropping another 5 as I have already lost 55!
Great job on losing the 55 pounds!2 -

Im totally the same, i have more bad days than good.
I do use food too, but more so i think i have dermatrillomania (sp?) Which is basically skin picking disorder. I pick at any blemish even if it causes pain, i think it actually comes under OCD.
Dont know whether to go GP now or when ive moved.
I dunno, feeling a bit blah atm!
Big hugs! Love you x5 -

The long winter is rubbish isn't it? I don't think I have Seasonally Affected Disorder (SAD) but the weather definitely affects my mood.
There are bits and bobs of sunshine here and there though - I'm starting to think that I should prioritize getting outside whenever that happens. Maybe you should too? (Maybe you already do).
There are actually some lamps that you can get for SAD, an ex boss of mine used to use one in the office for an hour or so every day and swore it worked wonders. Might be worth looking into if you're finding it hard?1 -

Bex, I think I'd ask myself the following: how well do I get on with my current GP, is this new behaviour (is it related to additional stress/is early intervention likely to help before it becomes more established), now I've become aware, is there anything I can do to distract myself or make it harder for mindless picking?
Hugs

Didn’t get on here yesterday but I had a planned day off from tracking as we were celebrating my mum’s birthday. Started the day with a lovely gentle jog with my older daughter in some glorious early spring sunshine. Then went off the rails a bit, but pulled myself together and went to bed early. Only to be woken up by one of the kids who said she felt a bit sick then promptly projectile vomited all over the floor. So I’m tired and grumpy today. Will see what I can manage and hopefully get back on track.

- School shoe shopping with the kids

My weekend was good food-wise until last night when 2 choccy biscuits slipped under the radar and were eaten almost before I realised! Doesn't take long to eat a biscuit lol. They were leftovers from Christmas.
Still feeling under the weather, bored of being stuck at home.

Good morning! I am exhausted this morning, not sure if it's from my workouts or shark week.. lol.
Feeling pretty determined as this is the first weekend in MONTHS I've actually stayed on track. It has helped me see that fitting in things like Chinese food and bumming around playing World of Warcraft can still be done while staying active, accomplishing the tasks I've laid out and staying within my calorie goal.

1. Stay within calorie goal 😁
2. Get minimum 4,000 steps😁
3. Do workout😁
4. Wash towels😁
5. Wash clothes😁
JFT 2/18:

2. Go for a walk at lunch
3. Put away laundry from yesterday

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
Today: 185.0
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. 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. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays!
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
6. Medical: Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Feb 7 12:00 w new. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for FTN (Feb?) Audition for Avenue Q March. Audition for Christie March. Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
It has been SO NICE being on the eastern side of the Central time zone instead of the western side of the Eastern time zone. I love well-lit mornings! Of course, it's helped that we don't have school today, so I "slept in" until 6:30 when it got light out. But at home it doesn't even START getting light until 7 AM! And that's when we have to LEAVE for school :P2
