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

Had a really good day again!

@AJB1014 Yay snowboarding! And I've heard that marriage (or long term relationships) take A LOT of work. I know that mine does. But I've also never be more fulfilled in my life. I'm glad that you guys got to get away for a few days!

@Bex953172 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASEY!!! She looked plum tuckered out! How sweet! Good job cutting off the carbs early and surviving the temperation of the sandwich!

@Snowflake1968 Do you enjoy decluttering other people's houses? I have a friend who gets really overwhelmed looking at messy and cluttered tables. So I usually go over once a week and help her out and visit with her. Am I strange? Lol. I hope you enjoyed your time with her.

@AJB1014 - woohoo for proving him wrong. Yes relationships can be hard and take work just like everyone else.

@Bex953172 - happy Birthday Casey. She is my 6th person to wish a happy Birthday to today! My Godson was the first baby I fell in love with born this day 33 years ago.

@hehoddard0928 - I do enjoy helping people decluttering, maybe I should hire myself out for that.

@Bex953172 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CASEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
Auntie Tracie

Pass two days not so good. Working 12 hours shifts and it’s hard to stick with the plan. Today was better I did not eat out my range. Still did not work out. Tomorrow is my 7th 12 hour shift and I’m off. I hope to work out for 30 minutes and stay in my calorie range.
Good Night all

Had a good day with goals yesterday, but to be honest I’m not feeling great. It’s a bit of a shock to the system being back to exercising in the dark to get it done before work! This morning I’m up but just not feeling it. Planned to go for a long run and I know I will feel great if I just do it. Hamstrings are a bit tight and sore though so slightly dreading the first 15 minutes or so until I’m warm and in my stride. Must just keep remembering the joy of the end of it!!

Tuesday goals recap:
- morning workout ✅
- Pack water bottle - use it! ✅
- Home lunchtime? Run? ✅ yes, short run but ok pace and all uphill! 😅
- Cancel hot yoga if P still sick✅
- Eat proper meals, not just snacks✅
- Early night (non negotiable) ✅

Wednesday goals:
- morning run
- Prep morning sessions for cover teacher
- Morning planning session: sort reply to J, some work on digital resilience programme and confirm party arrangement for P

Scale goals
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
So the last couple of days have been busy because the students have been working really hard (which means *I* have to work harder to keep up!) and there have been meetings taking up plan time and assemblies requiring me to adjust lessons. Overall good, though; the meetings have actually been useful and haven't taken long. It's stuff that might have been hard to follow if they'd sent directions in an email instead. So for once, I'm glad we had the meetings!

And it's also busy because we're making plans and packing for OUR VERY FIRST CRUISE! We leave home tomorrow after school and our ship leaves Friday noonish. It's just over the weekend, but I'm excited. Mostly. Right now I'm feeling a little heart-wrenched because one of our cats is being especially cuddly as I type this. He's curled up next to me, purring REALLY loud, and looking up at me with big eyes like "why you clicky that thing? U SHOULD PET DA KITTEH!" Awwwwh. I feel bad about leaving them behind, even if it's only for a few days. Oh well. We'll have someone come check on them, and it'll be fine.

@AJB1014 - WAY TO GO on that snowboard! You kill it, you awesomesauce you!
@mytime6630 - Sounds like good news with your daughter. Logging is where it's at. I'm crap at it too but it does work!
@Snowflake1968 - Hehehe... did your mom tell you whether those molasses cookies were as good as the ones she used to make? We had them every now and again and I can eat them just about endlessly. Starbucks had some great ones, YEARS ago, and when they quit selling them I quit going there because that was the only thing I was willing to pay their ridiculously inflated prices for ;D

JFT Tuesday

- Get up at 3:30 to go to the gym so I can get home in time to do things before work. Got up at 4:00. I'm calling that close enough. Upped my cardio a little today. It triggered my asthma, but it was a quick recovery so I was able to do a little core work.
- Make bed and tidy up so that contractors can work on the new floors.
- Take dogs to doggie day care -
- Get to work by 8:00 - 8:08, but close enough. Man I love flex time!
- Drink 1L of water before having a soda -
- Have protein bar and fruit for breakfast - Kind of skipped this. This morning was a blur
- Stay away from the vending machine today. I did it, but it was a definite struggle
- Begin evaluation of 1st quarter data for Global Lab Unification project. Just have to get China on board now.
- Sort out responsibilities for Global LOD's. This is still a mess. I am to take ownership but others feel their efforts are being ignored. I could honestly not care less.
- Begin writing a method for new testing. Completed in record time
- Leave at lunch to talk to the contractor about schedule and materials for stairs Done. I hate having work done on the house, but I love it when its complete.
- Lunch under 300cal I barely even ate lunch yesterday
- leave work by 5:00 (if I sneak out at 4:00 I can get a walk in) Left work at 4:30, but household emergency prevented the walk.
- Pick up dogs.
- Drop off kid at play practice. They find out what parts they got today. I'm excited for her and a little nervous she'll be disappointed. She got one of the two parts she wanted.

- No dessert! I have a weigh in Thursday I gotta be good. If I gain I have to pay into the pot.:) I was good. Think I was too tired to snack
- Laundry Laundry room floor was being replaced
- Bed by 10:00. 4:00AM comes awfully early when I get to bed late. I was in bed at 10:00 asleep by 11:00 then awakened by snores at 12:00. Broken sleep is better than no sleep.

JFT Wednesday
-Up at 3:30 (okay 1 snooze 3:39) to go to the gym. Its the only way everything fits. Holy hell it's early/late. I know I've come home from bars later than this, not I'm waking up this early to work out. Go figure.
- Shower and tidy up a bit.
- Dogs to daycare me to work by 8:00. /:( I got the dogs there and I was on schedule to make it to work, but realized I forgot my meds this morning and had to go back. Its not that big a deal I live 5 minutes from work. In ~8:10

I am so tired, or perhaps weary is a better term. Mind, body and spirit could us a pick me up. If I get to walk (or a nap) that will help.

Y'all have a fab day and make yourselves proud. Do at least 1 nice thing for yourself today.

Can’t believe it is Wednesday again already. I haven’t done anything productive in my own house at all.

I have a couple of projects I want to do and I haven’t looked at the job boards yet this week. I really hate the job search process. It’s how I stayed in jobs for so many years even when I was unhappy.

I think I need to go get the kids today to bring out for supper. It will be nice when all of the vehicles are working again.

Well yesterday was just a total disaster. It was the first day since starting I’ve felt like I can’t do this, what’s the point and like throwing the last 3 weeks away.
I didn’t go to the gym, I got in bed at 7:30 and fell asleep shortly after.
I didn’t have any tea last night. I was in such a crappy mood that I felt I wouldn’t stop eating if I started. So decided it was best to not have anything.
I just feel totally fed up at the minute.

JFT – Tuesday
Have a better day than yesterday

Tuesday didn't really turn out any better, I ended up having a bit of a binge last night and then didn't weigh in this morning because of it.
Need to have a bit of a re-focus.
I normally come on here first thing as soon as I get in work and update all of the challenges and accountability threads I’m on but I just couldn’t this morning because I was a bit ashamed of admitting it. I even thought about lying about a maintain. I’ve just logged on now and had a read of some posts and I’m feeling a bit better and glad I didn’t make up a result.
I’ve not had bad day so far. Foods haven’t been ‘healthy healthy’ but should be under my calorie allowance for the day.
My JFT for Wednesday was to log on to MFP and the forums.

Yesterday way good!
I had to give in for a piece of bread and butter last night, i think going from carb full days to nothing was a bit of a shock to the system! But just the one piece did me good.
@mytime6630
We didnt actually have a cake for her yesterday, my MIL made one last tuesday and we had it then. We didnt buy her another though, but she had treats for the day and i took her to the park, and i put a scoop of hot chocolate in her last milk lol!

So far today ive been carb free!
Keep getting really hungry though!
