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

Good morning all! Today is the day, my new rims and tires are going on my car finally. I get way too excited about these things, but they're so pretty 😈

We went to see endgame yesterday which was awesome but I ate way too much popcorn and had to adjust dinner plans as a result. I was all set to stay in my calories but I kept craving sweets and went quite a bit over. Oh well, if I stay within my calories today it will still balance out well.

Yesterday 4/27:

1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
2. Stay within calorie goal😞
3. Get a minimum of 5,000 steps😁
4. Do workout😁
5. Give Rukia her p.m. pills😞 completely forgot and fell asleep
6. Wash a load of laundry😁
7. Buy parts to put my new tires/rims and adapters on (finally!!!!)😊 I actually did that this morning but it got done lol

JFT 4/28:

1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
2. Stay within calorie goal
3. Get a minimum of 5,000 steps
4. Cook dinner
5. Give Rukia her p.m. pills
6. Relax

I know that, despite what the scales say, I did not put on 3 pounds in 2 days but I do need to get back to my goals!

You've Got This! You're Strong and Inspirational! Thank you for boosting me...and I wanted you
to know that I'm in your corner too. I may not comment every post, but I am with you! And I love you took💕

Late checking in today. Yesterday was my cheat day of the week but with all the gardening I did I think it was honestly a break even day.

JFT 4/28/19
Aqua Zumba class this morning! Fun, loved the music but I'm a klutz with the dance moves
Just pre-tracked to 1600 calories
Enjoy the pool with grandkids and family this afternoon.
Be reasonable with appetizers and wine tonight when neighbors come over
Early to bed.

JFT 28/04/19 Sunday

1. I’ll come back here in the evening
2. Log all food & drink I didn’t eat enough calories and just didn’t want anything else. I quick added 300 calls and deleted them after I completed the diary.
3. Take at least 5500 steps I went for a walk at the beach this morning, it was cold and windy but I got most of my steps in
4. Make time to be mindful for me
5. Make a weekly meal plan - I haven’t done this properly before. I might see what I can find out about batch cooking planned meals for this week and slow cooker for the busy days. Batch cooking seems like a good idea.
5. Buy fruit & veg for the next few days - for the meals I’ve planned
6. Drop my daughters washing back at her flat in town we had a good catch up and giggle

@ZizzyBumble Congrats on your retirement! I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your first days!

@wannabeskinnycat Planning for dinners is the only way I ever cook at home. I do Dream Dinners or Hello Fresh as well. Otherwise I eat out so much more. I already eat out quite a lot bc of my job. Hope you have fun with it!

@HEGoddard0928 So glad you got some alone time. And I love to read too! Don't do much during my busy season but normally I read a least a book a week.

@aubyshortcake We saw it Friday, so good! My daughter and I are going back to see it tomorrow afternoon. Such a great movie!

@Snowflake1968 Good for you! I'm sure it felt good to get that last walk in for the night. It's inspiring bc so many times we tell ourselves we can't when we definitely can. It's a good reminder.

Today was pretty decent for me. I got in a really great 45 minute run plus did 20 minutes of strength training. Finally got my period so hoping that my stress and nerves will calm down a little now.

New to this group. I have been in maintenance (and struggling with this transition) for 3 months. I am where I want to be in terms of weight, but not consistency. Not happy with the undisciplined eating, gain a few pounds, back to "diet" mode, lose the pounds, a d repeat cycle.

I am just having problems staying focused ... I don't seem to have a longterm goal that is sufficiently motivating ("just maintain") is not doing it for me. Running across this thread, it struck me that the 'just for today" mindset is exactly what i need.

4/29

1. Ride
2. De-corgi my first floor (swifter up the dog hair)
3. Call for appt to change oil on van
4. Call for vet appt for dog
5. Health club for strength training
6. Eat within maintenance calories
7. Back exercises after dinner

Last week I was stressed, and ate because of it.

I'm hoping to feel better this week and to eat better, as well.

• Bring leftovers for lunch
• Buy some fruit/veg on the way to work
• Bring or buy dairy
• Meditate in the morning
• Plan yummy meals and eat them
• Drink water (or diluted herb tea) 60 - 70 oz
• Wind down for bed starting around 9

• Call County about stolen license plate
• Hear from car repair folks?
• Allstate feedback
• Email to Hab

Goals yesterday were basically 20,000 steps and mindful eating. I’m at 50%. I got an amazing 30,156 steps, but my eating was awful.

Same goals for today...

Positive thought: there are so many blessings in my life, I’m just grateful for all the wonderful people and experiences I have in my life.

- Another 30K step day. That makes back to back days at 13+ mile days, yea me!
- Eating was horrible the whole weekend. When I decide I can let down my guard, I slide down the slope. I need defined breaks, "one small snack", "one cheese stick", etc. If not the next thing I know I've eaten 3/4 of a funnel cake and a big bowl of ice cream, followed by a high cal dinner and a couple of tall beers. Not surprisingly, my weight was up almost 5 pounds today. I know its a false high, but I still hate seeing it. On the up side it will look like losses the next few days.
- Started today like I finished the weekend, mindlessly trying to fill some void. I got into the candy. Sigh, but I have time today to work that in and still end up green.

JFT Monday

- Work by 8:00 More like 8:45. Just couldn't mentally get up this morning.
- Check in on MFP
- Not be disappointed in myself. Tough one, but so far so good.
- Work on work stuff... Been avoiding one project
- Lunch <300 cal
- Pick up dogs from the kennel
- Pick up daughter from talent show tryouts
- Go for a walk/run to make up for morning candy snafu.
- Dinner within calorie goal
- No treats after dinner
- Early to bed

Positive thought for the day: One day, or one weekend doesn't define me. How I deal with the reality of the situation shows my character.

Daneejela - haven’t listed to the link yet, but so agree with your written words. Our self talk can be so encouraging or so detrimental, not just for weight loss.

Aubyshortcake - I hope you enjoyed driving on your new rims and tires.

Hegoddard0928 - I just started in the last year reading any books that weren’t fiction. I am surprised to find that I’m enjoying them.

Maryrobinson40- my husband swears to me that it doesn’t change after you click. I argue with him about this all the time. It made me happy to see that happens to others too.

Wannabeskinnycat- truer words were never spoken. It’s that whole think “I wish I was as fat now as I thought I was the first time I though about losing weight”.

Mytime6630 - it’s so nice to see you have a wonderful time! I’m looking forward to seeing my lifelong friend in a few weeks at the wedding. We met on the first day of school grade 2.

Elbee1 - 8 glasses of water!!!! Congratulations! Celebrate with a glass of water!

Faebert - look at all of the check marks! Have a great day.

Kathryn1391 - when is your wedding

Littleblackskirt- it’s so great to have family congregate isn’t it? I miss it since I moved, it’s smaller so they aren’t all here together as often.

Jan110144 - this thread has been the best thing I could have done for myself.

Mirihawk - you already have one smile to start the day, you can do it on all of them.

Azulvioleta6 - you are doing really well!

Nlmackey98- wow on the walking! Were you running around the lake to keep your daughter in site? You are doing well, keep it up.
