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

Good morning all
Confession time: went to the gym as planned last night-great. When I came home I had a healthy dinner and then decided that I had enough calories left to have 12 Peanut M&M’s. Well we all know that is just impossible. I ploughed through half a packet before I made myself sick. I wish I could have vomited
I lectured husband about me being an addict and that he should not bring them in to the house. He certainly should not have made me aware of them.
1. Log everything even the big pig outs
2. Find a way to burn off that extra 500 calories
3. Eat lots of veggies
4. Move on and learn from mistakes
5. Don’t beat myself up. I’m human.

Have a great Tuesday everyone

Checking in at the end of the day!

Successful day! Had a strong cardio session before work. I’ve been having issues motivating myself out of bed in the mornings and I did it today, even on a Monday! It felt great. I never regret it when I do make it before work.

The pup and I took a long walk together enjoying the nice weather. Then the Hubby grilled burgers and I stayed strong and had 1 patty without the bun. Here’s to hoping for a weight loss tomorrow!

I’ll catch up and read tomorrow, but I wanted to share my new bathroom door with you. I am so happy with how it turned out!

Well, yesterday was a bust diet wise.

We had some amazing news at work. We got a new CEO six months ago and he is an awful man. He's brought about an absolutely toxic culture and lots of people are terrified of him. My boss has come out of meetings with him looking absolutely shaken. It's had a massive effect on everyone as even those who didn't have much contact with him (like me) had to deal with all the bosses who did have to deal with him who were all really stressed out and thus making silly demands themselves.

Anyway - you can probably tell where this is going - yesterday an email went round saying he had 'resigned for personal reasons'..... (just to be clear, this is a cover story!)



This led to about half the company (ok, I'm exaggerating slightly - about 20 of us) heading to the pub to celebrate. Wine was had, and consequently I got the munchies and ate A LOT, including on the go which I try to avoid.

So yes, the diet was a bust. But I'm happy anyway, for several reasons. Firstly, it means the culture is going to improve, pretty much immediately (the lady who has been appointed acting CEO is a good egg and I get on with her) which will make the working environment much more pleasant. Secondly, it means that actually I might consider some of the internal roles that are going to be advertised. Without this news I might not have, as I just wasn't sure about the culture.

But also? It does actually make me feel like, despite what it might seem, people get what they deserve. The last six months had started to make me feel like the people who get rewarded in the workplace are the liers and the blaggers and the bullies, and that people who are nice and work hard and do their job well without boasting or playing games don't do as well. This shows that, well actually that's not always the case. Blaggers and bullies do (sometimes) get their comeuppance. This makes me feel more positive about life in general! (And my prospects in it).

Anyway, on with the day! Today I'm meeting a friend for some drinks but I've decided I won't have alcohol today. I had enough yesterday. I also have decided that I need to come up with some rules for myself in relation to alcohol. I'm much better than I was six months ago - me and the boyfriend don't really drink in the week now - but I still drink too much socially and need to sort that out. For today, I won't have anything at all - I will have a bigger think about 'rules' at the weekend.

@nlmackey98 , glad the cake saga came good in the end

@korina75, I didn't know the Cheesecake Factory was a real place, I thought it was made up for a TV show lol.

@daubna08 , what a successful day you had, well done!

@dani_caylor , a great day for you too. I also took "before" photos, wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. I don't look as bad as I should in them, I think I should take some more wearing more revealing clothes lol.

@bookmeister86 , what great news, I would have celebrated too!

@Snowflake1968 , I love your new door! Not what I was imagining at all. Also love the picture on the wall beside the door
I have a working oven, but my son has broken the grill. It still heats but it's hanging down much too low. I still use it occasionally but don't like doing so.
