Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.
Age 62, 5'4.5"
GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.

@TerriRichardson112 - I did it! I have to tell you they your line on your post “the only failure is giving up” plays through my head a lot and I think it helps,
Today I went and bought stuff to make a couple of the recipes that Rodger has been wanting me to make. The one I made tonight made 4-6 servings so one is in the fridge for his Monday supper and two servings are in the freezer. Tomorrow I’ll make another recipe.
I am still not feeling very well, I think if I’m not better tomorrow I’ll need to go to a medi centre. I did get laundry done today and swept the floor. That’s all I did though.
Thank you all for your kind words and support. It means a lot to me.6 -

Hello team,
Today my bestie and I went out snowshoeing and the weather was amazing! We had a great time and I discovered that it is a mega calorie burner. Almost 2 hours was 900 calories! That's not what it's about, it is about doing things I love and being active in a healthy way. But also it was nice to have some extra room for hot cocoa and truffles at the local shop we found I was definitely tired so I did a pretty loaf day. Tomorrow I'll have to crack down on housework. I also was able to review a pro/con list around my job opportunity. No decision made yet, but I feel like I'm pulling together information that will help me decide.

Didn’t go to the boat this weekend, caught up on things around the house ( and loafed a lot). Did not get my work done, need to do tomorrow!!! Very surprised that more weight is gone after my trip; I’m completely sold on the “focus on habits” mindset now, and also thinking maybe I was eating too few calories before and this higher target (midway between “lose 1lb/week” and maintenance) works better. I will continue to monitor...

The only failure is giving up!============================================================
2019 DISCARD 5 LBS CHALLENGES:
01 Aug 2019: 170.1
31 Dec 2019: 151.2
Total weight loss: 19.9lbs
==============================
2020 Personal Discard Weight Challenge
Name: Terri
My plan is to weigh less at the end of each month than I did at the beginning

February:
Sat 01: 150.1Week 1: - 1

Mon 03: 150.1 Phew!
Tue 04: 148.6 - 3.5 😍
Wed 05: 149.6 😂 Boing! Boing! Boing!
Fri 07: 149.1 🤞🏻
Week 1
Sat 08: 148.9
Sun 09: 149.4
Mon 10: 149.2
Tue 11: 148.8
Wed 12: 148.4
Thu 13: 148.7 just gotta deal with these daily fluctuations and hope that the trend is ever downward.
Fri 14: 148.6
Sat 15: DNW slept very late and forgot

Week 2: - 0.5
Week 3: + 1 Not unduly worried about this. I had cake on Fri at Latin, lunch out on Wednesday, so water retention is more than likely a factor. TBH I'm really happy with maintaining under 150, especially since I have continued to improve my muscle mass, and reduce my BF%age.
Week4:
Sat 22: 149.4
Sun 23: 149.2

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

Well, yesterday didn't go as planned, but it was still a good day. Spent the morning doing errands with my husband. Got the things on my list and then some. While DH was getting a haircut, I stopped in Marshalls and found some steeply discounted exercise equpment, including a thicker yoga mat for Pilates and some resistance bands, so that was an unexpected win.
Stopped at a new sub shop in town - that's when the calorie fail began. I was going to eat only half of my roast beef and provolone, but it was really fresh and yummy, so I just finished it. Dinner at my mom's included an unexpected visit by my youngest sister and her boyfriend. They showed up late, so by the time we actually sat down, I was famished and on my second glass of wine. Then I supplemented the healthy berries and yogurt dessert my mom provided with a couple of shortbread cookies. Got home close to midnight and didn't bother to try to finish my food log.
Still, it was a really nice evening. Good food and even better company. I rarely get to spend time with that sister because of our work schedules and my mom was really happy, so that was a win as well, albeit of a different kind.
So...lots to do today. I'm not even going to try to deal with the fridge. It's a beautiful day here - warm and sunny - so I'll try to get out to walk for a while and keep the calories in check.
Goals for Saturday, February 22, 2020
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit – X – Not even close.
• Walk 30+ minutes – X
• Clean fridge – X
• Pick up potting soil and DW sanitizer - √
• Dinner with Mom - √
• Online course HW (set up course shell) – X
JFT Goals for Sunday, February 23, 2020
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit
• Walk 30+ minutes
• Lunch out with DH
• Read narrative drafts and prep for conferences

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of January: 194.6
Today: 198.2
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.

Sunday 23 February
I can’t find a post from this morning so I guess I got distracted! Goals were the same as usual ....
Log
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg
Water
Fitbit exercise goals
I’ve resisted the temptation to go to the pub for lunch and to have wine with lunch at home At long last, we had sunny weather without storm force winds making my walk so much more pleasurable. Spring flowers are beginning to emerge in the hedgerows
@terririchards please can you give me a shamrock for today. Thanks3 -
