Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY
Replies
-
Hi all. Been isolating mostly, but as my job is considered semi-important, I go into the plant on Mondays and Thursdays. I can go in other days if needed, but will need to get approved. As of today they have started taking temperatures before you can come on site. I'm good with that. I'd rather it take a few more minutes to get through security than have a bunch of people working who are sick.
Our little state of West Virginia has not been as hard hit as most other states. I think we are mostly pseudo-isolationist who like our space which is why we live in the boon docks to start with. The governor is going to make an announcement at 11:00 am today that I assume will place the state on further lock-down. Meaning all unnecessary businesses will be mandated to close and we can only travel to work and to the grocery & doctor. I'm really not too bothered by this as I want people to stay home if possible, though I know this is tough on hourly employees and small businesses. I actually sent my hairdresser a check for $150 the other day to pre-pay for my hair and a little extra as she is a friend and owns her own business. It is her only source of income for her and her 2 kids. Grocery stores and Wal-Mart are hiring temporary employees and hopefully that will help some of the displaced workers.
Honestly, I've really liked being home more and having life slow down for a bit. We cook every night, and eat at a normal time now that the girls don't have activities. We even take time for family games most evenings. The only down side is that my oldest daughter is going stir crazy. She is very productive, she exercises, cleans the house and even weeded all of the flower beds this weekend. She painted the rocks the pulled out of the beds and created a rock garden as well. I have been kind of sluggish, but my eating has been much better.
This is indeed a scary time. My prayers are with you all especially those dealing with illness and separation in their families.

Greetings! I know it has been a long while since I was on here...I have been taken up with a couple of groups more related to our son who recently graduated from Air Force basic training. It was quite unfortunate that the virus made its appearance while he was in training. His group of nearly 800 were the first to not be able to have friends or family present. It's a pretty big deal---it is a two day ceremony and then they get liberty both on and off base for four days. All this was canceled. The did a much shorter swearing in and the next day left for his tech school. It was very emotionally hard on families. I grieved for the young people who had not seen family for over 8 weeks, especially those who had not been away from home before.
He gets to tech school and they have closed all theater, bowling, gym, etc. He is not allowed to leave the base and as of last week can't receive visitors, which meant his sister was no longer able to travel out to see him for the day. And to top it off, the base has no toilet paper!!! The BX is "wiped clean", lol! His roommate has three rolls. Ally, his sister was bringing him some before the base closed to visitors. So she is mailing some to him...using it as packing, lol!
I have thought of y'all often. It's amazing how truly life can change in a blink of an eye.
If you are wanting to do some exercising Faithful Workouts is doing live workouts each morning on their fb page, with the same name. There is a beginner and an intermediate class. They will be recorded so you can do them later if need be. The times listed are eastern standard time.
May we all find joy in these circumstances! My son will find joy in having toity paper, no doubt!! He has been there since March 14 but we just got his address on Saturday...his birthday is Thursday and guess what he's getting, lol!
Take care of yourselves. Not forever.

@toaljasa So nice to see you! I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to attend your son's graduation from boot camp. It's such a big deal that it had to be very disappointing to all of you. I wonder how many others in our military don't have TP? Maybe we will have to start sending care boxes to the military filled with TP!
Thanks also for sharing the video series! I need to schedule in some exercise, along with stop stuffing my face! I've been just terrible. Today I'm doing pretty good but it's early yet... LOL3 -

Packing up tonight/tomorrow to move in with my parents. I’m in the U.K. and mum has to “shelter” for the next 12 weeks plus due to her lung cancer. I can’t risk continuing to travel between my house and theirs despite the fact I’ve been avoiding all social contact for the last 2 weeks. I’m sad and scared and the extra glass of wine is not helping me relax!
Thinking of you all as you deal with the scary future.
I will try my best to be positive and I am planning ahead. My current knitting project is an Icelandic jumper. Not too difficult and it grows fast. Once it’s finished, I’m taking on a far more challenging project; I’m going to knit a gansey. New techniques and much finer wool/narrower needles than I’m used to.3 -

I hope you and your mum will be okay! I'm in the UK too, and now we're in total lock down!
I'd love to see a pic of your knitting project when it's done! Hopefully that will help you pass some time!
We tried to buy flour today and there was non out of 7 shops!! And now the lockdown rules are even tighter. I think buying flour so I can make cakes is not a "necessity" 😂4 -
So much for logging on in the morning to set goals! Back-to-back meetings all day today related to COVID-19 starting at 0730 this morning. Finally shut down my work laptop and made myself dinner and can relax and hopefully watch something on TV that has nothing to do with COVID-19!
Word has it that our Governor in WI is going to issue the order tomorrow. I hope my husband is able to get home from Indiana later this week.
Although I didn't get my goals written in here, I did have some in mind all day so I think I'll list them since some of them still need to be done. I have to have accountability or I will be unable to fit through the front door by the end of this shelter in place order.
Just for Monday, 3/23:- Journal every snack and stick to pre-logged meals.
- Drink at least 64 oz of water
- Take Maddie for a walk around the neighborhood
- Lymphatic massage
- Lymphatic exercises
- Knee exercises
- Gentle Chair Yoga
- Gratitude Journal, inspirational daily readings, Calm app, Bible app lesson/study
- Bed on time and get up tomorrow at my normal time! Stop sleeping in!
I would like to join the HOP TO IT challenge! I will give myself a bunny for each day that I do some sort of intentional activity. If I get in at least 15 minutes of intentional activity, I will count it. I don't want to feel as if I'm failing if I can't get enough steps in while working at home.
HOP TO IT!

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

Hi everyone,
Had an exhausting day. Had a full day of telehealth sessions, and it's just weird to do a full day of therapy without actually sitting in the same room as someone else. Got VERY upset with my manager today. So my work has been telling us we are not able to provide telehealth from home until emergency legislation passes. Found out today they were misleading us so they could avoid having "too many IT issues all at once." We've been able to provide telehealth from home the whole time. Awful. BUT I signed the contract for my new job so YAY! Health habits are not great, but I'm trying to do one small thing each day to get back on track.
Just for Today-Monday
Drink 80 oz water ❌
Wind down by 10 ❌

Meet daily recs for the 5 food groups ❌

I need to wake up out of this funk and do things that best serve me, not my free floating anxiety about this situation. Tomorrow I will be upstairs by 9 with the “reward” of a meditation session. Lights out before 10 so that getting up the next morning is easier as intended. Spend my time planning activities for my family.
Thoughts and prayers to all of you worries about your families and yourself. May we all get through this with both health...and sanity!

Lock down is now obligatory in U.K. rather than advisory. Not before time IMHO!!! Too many corvidiots were just going about as normal, with no thought of others. I plan to stay cloistered as much as possible, apart from essential visits to buy groceries etc. Mother's Day was by Skype. I had 2 routine medical appointments this week which have been postponed. DH had his usual yoga class via ZOOM last night.
I am grateful that I have my DH for company, a garden to go out into, and live in quiet neighbourhood where we can out for walks. And enough food to keep us going. My heart goes out to those of you who don't have these, especially if you have children.
I have plenty to occupy my time, and feel very lucky to have access to so many supportive friends on here.
You are stronger than you know.

Keep busy and productive.
For all those essential workers still going out there....
🙏🏻 Thank you for your service 🙏🏻
Everyone else, please stay home!!!

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of January: 194.6
End of February: 196.2
Today: 197.2
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. 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: Google Hangout.
12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
WFTY: Progress. One nice thing about this is that it's encouraged me to prioritize my writing. It's HARD to write every day, especially something that I feel is worth sharing.5 -
Good morning everyone! I'm glad to see the sun today. I'm hoping to get out and work in the yard a bit.
Rained all day yesterday, so I didn't get out. I was in a bit of a funk because my husband headed back to his commuter apartment and will be going in to work some days. When I called my mom, I noticed that she sounded blue. I tried to get her set up on Zoom but we ran into some problems. Then my daughter texted me to say the ceiling in her bedroom was leaking. She was able to take temporary measures and schedule a repairman for Monday, but we're expecting more rain this week. It's hard to feel so cut off and unable to help.
But the day wasn't all bad. I was up early and lucked out in getting a grocery delivery slot, so I was able to get some fresh dairy and produce. My online classes are going pretty well so far, and most of my students are logging in and doing work. And my daughter and son are sending me lots of pictures of the grandkids - they never fail to make me smile!
@TerriRichardson112 - Thank you for reminding me that I too have much to be grateful for and that I can do this. I really appreciated the song.
@jeschepp - Sorry to hear about all the frustrations you're experiencing, but looks like you'll be on the move soon. Congrats on signing that contract!

2nd GW: 175 - and learn to maintain
Ultimate goal: 165-170, and maintainThese are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2020:2020
1. Lose 15 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 165, and then learn how to maintain it.
2. To be better with planning my meals each week
3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a daySW: Jan 3: 185.42020 - March
SW Feb 1: 178 (-7.4 lbs)
SW March: 183.6 (I was down to 176.6. Then, spent 2 weeks emotionally eating, just not caring. Time to get serious, and remember how I lost weight, but more importantly, remember how I can easily gain weight!.March 8: 183.6March 24: 178.4 (Helps that I am not going to the grocery store LOL!
Mar 10: 180.6
March 15: 183.0 - my own fault .. 2 days of stress eating. Time to get serious
March 17: 181
Mar 20: 179.6 - work to maintain that this week, or lose another .5 pound
I set my goals while we are "shelter in place" and stuck at home:
1. sew as many face masks as I can
2. learn to play the keyboard
3. work on charity quilt
4. exercise at least 30-45 minutes, 4 days a week minimum
5. keep house tidy
JFT, Monday
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water -- I've been drinking more water, trying to only have 1 diet pepsi a day (Don't want to run out!!!)
3. work on face masks --- 25 face masks made yesterday!!
4. help hubby -- built PC boards
-- Face masks were more important, and we are slow
5. rough cleanup of house in the morning
6. if nice out, go for a walk. If not , find another video to do -- Did not get this done. I sewed all day, until 10:30. Then I was SO tired. Oh ... wait, hubby and I did take a short walk -- 1 mile. (But he walks so slow, but at least I am getting him out!)
7. positive thoughts
JFt, Tues
1. build 3 boxes .. shipping tomorrow. We think this will be it for orders for a while
2. concentrate on water
3. sew up more face masks. Going to deliver these this weekend.. hoping to get 50-75 made.
4. clean house
5. rainy day today .... find exercise video
6. practice piano 15 minutes
7. call daughter. It was the hardest thing to do, but we asked her not to come out for 14 days. She keeps going to the grocery store... but I know she is not careful with wipping down the carts, washing her hands after handling groceries. We told her numerous times ... I have plenty of food here, but sunday she went to the store just to get ice cream. So we are making her wait 14 days. This is too serious not to ignore. We told her she can come out and we will sit outside, social distancing.
I hope this does not last long. It is hard to stay positive, and not get so scared and down. This is why I am doing whatever I can to keep busy.
@PackerFan001 -- a great time to get out that sewing. Trust me, it really does help to keep busy to keep from worrying. Plus, so many hospitals, nursing homes, etc really need face masks... so helping others along the way!
We can only control our actions ... we have so little control over what happens. Make the best of this time.
And ... I am watching the news ... they are singing Christmas Music!!!!
Here, we are all putting little teddy bears in our windows .. so kids can go on scavenger hunts. During these times, it is remarkable all the good that is also happening.🐰Let’s get Hop! Hop! Hopping!🐰

@TerriRichardson112 What a great song! Thank you for sharing! I haven't listened to music in weeks, and I think I need to turn off the TV (news) and begin listening to music. Working at home every day routine is a work in progress and there's another tweak I can make.
@mytime6630 Are you following a pattern off YouTube for the masks? I've been thinking of sewing some. I have a lot of cotton fabrics and a lot of flannel for next to the face, but don't know where to begin. I'm self taught and really pretty much suck at sewing, but I enjoy trying! My mom will be here by the end of the week living 8 blocks from here, so I see many sewing lessons in my future...
As you can see above, I suck at fitting in the things I don't necessarily enjoy doing after work. I feel like I should have all this time now to get all kinds of things done around here, but the truth is, I'm still working full time even though the location has changed...I don't have any more time than I did before. So, I need to find more structure in my day to schedule in the lymphedema therapies and the lymphedema & knee exercises I've been told to do.
I did actually make myself take Maddie for a walk last night after dinner and I was happy I did...so was she! I have a question for you guys....when you first started walking, how far or how long did you make yourself go? I feel like I'm not doing enough because I only walk for 30 minutes and only walk about 3 mph so only get in about 1.3 miles. that's not very far, very fast or very long, but I feel like that's all the further my knees let me go. Is it even helpful health-wise? My hope is that if I can make myself do it every day that my pace will get faster, distance further and time walking will be longer, but in the meantime I feel like a total wuss.
Well, best get some goals on here!
Just for Tuesday- Journal every single bite - good, bad & ugly
- Water - DRINK SOME! Seriously! Step away from the coffee and drink some freaking water!
- Take 15 minutes twice today to meditate or read something inspirational or just to chill and take some deep breaths. It's all going to be okay.
- Take time out to notice and be grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Take a moment and thank God.
- Walk Maddie
- Lymphatic massage & exercises
- Knee exercises
- Gentle chair yoga video
- Declutter clothes hanging in closet. Start donate box.
WOTY 2020: Persistence
Hang in there my friends! We will weather this storm and come out stronger than ever. Love to you all!
2 - Journal every snack and stick to pre-logged meals.

@PackerFanInGB Every single step you take is a step nearer to health and fitness. When first got my Fitbit I started by walking to the end of our road a couple of times a day and then worked up from there.
Then, when I had my knee replacement done in 2015, I could barely do 100 steps per day. I just walked further each day. I did it in short 5 minute walks every hour and increased it each day. It took a month to get above 1000 per day. I just kept increasing it every day. Often walking during ad breaks at night to reach my goal. Now I do 30-45 minute HIIT walking videos most days. It takes less time to reach my goal these days. I seldom have to walk during ad breaks at night anymore.3 -

I didn’t do any knitting today. @bex953172 thank you for your good wishes and I will post a picture of the finished effort. I hope you’re feeling better today.
It’s an odd sensation having moved back into my old room at my parents (I left to get married 33 years ago). Whilst I’ve stayed overnight recently, I’ve not brought enough to unpack and use wardrobe and drawer space before now. I appreciate my husband encouraging me to stay and support my parents but I miss him so much.5 -

These are going to the ER department in one hospital, but I am told the police need them, and 3 other hospitals. They want them for patients coming into the hospital .. dialysis patients, visitors (the ones allowed). All this is so sad, but this had helped me tremendously from not freaking out totally over all this

7. call daughter. Talked to her 2x. I think she now realizes how very important this is. We cannot take chances of either me or my husband getting sick, especially with his upcoming treatments. But we told her she can come out and sit in our patio .. social distancing.
@PackerFan001 -- Missouri Star Quilting has a great tutorial .. and they are super easy. I do not have elastic, so I am just making binding and sewing that on. (The binding is suppose to be 40" each side for ties)

Hey all. I'm not worrying about daily goals at the moment. I came down with a case of suspected Covid-19 so my goal is to take care of myself. I'll be okay, I'm young and otherwise healthy. Mostly exhausted, aside from the coughing garbage, and finding it hard to drag myself up to make food. I hope everyone stays healthy, or if they catch this, kick it quickly.8

@PackerFanInGB - The great thing about walking is that it's really flexible. When I started walking for exercise about 5 years ago, I aimed for 30 minutes at a comfortable pace 3 times a week. At first, it was really hard to make the time for it, but I soon found that I enjoyed having the time and space for myself. So now I plan most days so that I can fit in a walk. It really helps me deal with stress.3

Ok today I proved (again) that if I do not write it into my goal list, I forget to do it! I noticed that last night I said I would bribe myself with a meditations session but tonight I forgot!! By the time I got upstairs (did NOT get up by 9 as I intended) it was too late. For tomorrow I added it in all caps so that when I look at my list during the day I’ll remember...
Hope everyone is doing as well as can be.

Hi all, just read through the latest posts from everyone. So much stress for us all but also such a strong crew! 💪
I’ve been gone for a while just trying to stay on top of life! The weeks running up to UK school closures were hectic as we dealt with staff and kids becoming sick and desperately tried to get all the remote learning set up. Now I’m a designated key worker and expected to go in to school when rostered on. It’s a bit stressful because I am a single parent and therefore have to send my own children to their school while I work. I’m also tearing around buying groceries and supplies for my parents and my sister’s family (her daughter is severely disabled and has respiratory issues) who are all medically vulnerable.
Anyway, now we are on lockdown I am trying to get out for a run once a day, to stay calm and to do my bit to help wherever I can. Something like this puts everything in perspective.
Keep well and safe everyone xx
