Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

Yesterday was not a huge success. I had a meeting in the afternoon and managed to resist the chocolate treats that were sitting in front of me for two hours. So that was good. But then I think I got a little in rebel mode in the evening and ate and drink more than planned. I then stayed up late watching Netflix rather than going to bed. So today I feel like rubbish.
Not quite sure why I had the slip up. It may just be that it's inevitable that I'll have slip ups sometimes while adjusting to a new lifestyle. Or it may also have been to do with the mood I was in. I was in a little bit of 'freedom' mood because after my meeting rather than going back to my office I went straight to the pub where I was meeting my friend and worked from there. I think the sense of freedom from working on my own terms (and ok, having a gin whilst doing it) may have put me in the rebel mode. (And it probably didn't help that I could smell chips for the 1.5 hours I was there before she got there!)
I had a few thoughts about this rebellious mode I get into. It happens quite often. I think it's because I spend so much time working hard and doing what I 'should' do that sometimes (ok, often) I just want to rebel and do what I want to do/not do what is expected of me.
It's like there are two versions of me: Good Sarah, the hardworking one who is sensible and does what she should and Bad Sarah, the rebellious one that wants to do what she wants and not consider the consequences. Bad Sarah doesn't like Good Sarah, she thinks she is a goody too shoes and wants to ignore her - you only live once after all. But Bad Sarah needs to remember that both Sarahs inhabit the same body and that taking care of it is necessary if they are to have a fulfilling - and fun - life for as long as possible.
Ok, now I've started talking about myself not just in the third person but as two third people I think I need to end this little episode of self reflection and get on with my day Today will be better!
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be within maintenance
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- Up to 5 units alcohol
- Equal volume water to alcohol
- French article
- Train home by 10

Hi all, sorry I’ve been AWOL the last few days. I came down with a bug and have just been battling to keep going since. Tearing around organising the older one’s birthday party and sleepover last week top means there was little time for rest and recovery. Long story short, I’ve been here and trying my best, but im not even sure which days I’ve earned 🌹 and which I haven’t, and not sure earning them because you were too sick counts!!
Today I’m on my way back to hospital for (hopefully) my last appointment for a while. Next week the schools are closed and then I’ll be back to work the week after. Slightly dreading it but also looking forward to finding my way back to fitness. No goals today - back to it once I’m signed off by the consultant this afternoon.
Happy Thursday all x6 -

RL can be so hectic at times. Hope your check up gives you the all clear.
Re roses: In the green, for whatever reason 😂 earns you a rose. Just put in the relevant days, or let me know and I will put them in for you.3 -
Yesterday was tough. Seems like this week at work has been more challenging than usual... stress-wise.
Happy to say today is my Friday. Have next 4 days off.
Yesterday I did knock out the big goals but didn’t manage to add the p90 workout. Honestly feeling a little fatigued. Have hit the trainer fairly hard for last 5 days now and legs need a recovery day. The p90 workout has a bunch of lunges, squats and jumps and I did not have it in me yesterday.
Plan for Thursday. Semi-easy day
Stay green (even if it’s just one calorie)
No trainer (recovery is still training)
Figure out valentines
Hang w wife
Make dinner
No booze or beer
Throw in load of laundry
Friday I’m off and stuck at home all day because having work on security system so planing on doing a bunch of things around the house

Hi all, today might be a bit awkward at work. My boss and our new sales rep just got back from a convention and apparently she didn't conduct herself professionally the whole time (she's 23 and kind of treated it like a college party). He wants us all to sit down and talk so she can correct that before the next convention in two weeks. I am SO non- confrontational (aaaaaand I'm the manager, go figure 😂🤦♀️).. I just don't know how she's going to react. I hope she takes our advice constructively and is not embarrassed.
I did get another rose yesterday, so I'm proud of that!

1. Log all food😁

- Make it to my 9:00am meeting just barely - I forgot about it until I saw my boss.
- Log
- No alcohol
- Bed by 11:00, early meeting tomorrow, 7:00am
Have a nice day y'all!
Over slept this morning which meant no shower before work. I feel kind of gross, but I made my international meeting this morning. Luckily it was a Skype call without video feed as I sit here in my ball cap and hoodie.
My mood has been really down lately, which is affecting every part of my life, work, family & health. I gotta figure out how to snap out of it. I had hoped the new meds had stabilized me, but maybe my good mood was just a high and now I'm hitting another low.
@mytime6630 my prayers are with you and your husband.
@PackerFanInGB Zumba can be a blast, but only if you let go of worrying what others think. I find it helpful to drag an equally uncoordinated friend with me. BTW nobody, or at least very few can really do the moves. Let go and don't worry about it. That being said, if it ain't your thing no sweat, find what is! If I lived closer I'd go make a fool of myself with you. Some of those people take it waaaay too seriously.
@bookmeister86 I totally relate tot the Good and Bad sides of you. I think we all have them. If I every figure out how to balance fun rebellious me with my uptight people pleaser I'll share. Until then, we do the best we can.
@Faebert Sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Good luck with your appointment and take it easy for a few days to let yourself recover.4 -
Thinking of all of you this morning and hoping the day is kind to you.
@mytime6630 - My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. Be gentle with yourself. You and your family are in many hearts, minds, and prayers every day, even when, perhaps especially when, you are absent.
@Faebert - What a lot you do for your girls! They must feel so loved! Even mighty women need a break sometimes, so snatch some rest when you can and feel better soon.
@bookmeister86 - We all need to rebel sometimes. It doesn't make us bad, but when that rebellion undermines our goals or takes a harmful turn, self-reflection can be really helpful. Every day is a fresh start. Hope today is a good one for you.
@TerriRichardson112 - Thank you for keeping us on track with your fun challenge! This journey can be wearying - physically and emotionally. The dreary winter weather just seems to make it harder. Thanks for shifting my perspective when I needed it most.
Now I really need to post some goals and get out the door!5 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
Today: 193.0
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
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). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
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! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
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. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: 1984.
8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Find cousin photos.
WFTY: Progress. Yesterday went better than I anticipated. Today I'm off campus for a workshop, which means there's a sub and who knows how that will go. Guess I'll find out tomorrow!4 -

Zumba shouldn't involve twerking. Definitely not a Latin move.
That said, I can twerk. It's a combination of control and letting go. Just because you can though, does not mean that you should!5 -

WFTY: DEPTH
Depth Year - UpdatesI definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.Daily Goals
03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.- I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
- Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
- Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
- Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
- I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
- 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
- I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
- 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
- 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
- Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!
- Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise
- Other: Daily Mindfulness Practice/Meditation; Practice Self-care; Positively reframe thoughts; Live! Love! Learn!; 15 mins Daily Declutter session; keep up to date with chores
