Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

teigansdad · May 2020

Sunday was a busy day ...
Make the girls breakfast✅
1hr sweetspot type ride on trainer✅
Help neighbor w building play set✅
Grocery shopping❌
Stay green✅
2 beer max✅
No M&Ms❌❌❌❌
Push-up challenge.. 1 set every hr on the hr today❌ the play set building was an all day affair
-would have been WAY in the red but my guilt got the best of me and hit a second trainer session at night. After winning that season opener on the bike two weeks ago I’m more driven than ever to stay on goal caloric wise. I am worried I might be a tad obsessive about it.

Goals for monday
Stay green
Grocery store after work
Chicken/rice type dinner. Need to start a carb load for Wednesday night race
Tempo ride tonight, aiming for 1.5 hr
No beer
No m&ms

Found 3 4-leaf clovers on my 4 mile walk.

I’ll assume that bodes well for the day.

I did well yesterday until the evening. Then i went off the rails.

We are just waiting for Brodey and Kaitlyn to arrive and we’ll start the deck.

@SERmom3 - that sounds like a fun evening.

PackerFanInGB · May 2020

@Kuhl50 What beautiful pictures! Oozing with quiet peaceful serenity! Can I ask which state these were taken in? Beautiful beaches!

@SERmom3 Projecting a movie on the garage sounds like so much fun! I miss the old days of going to the drive-in movies...

Gratitude Journal: Sunday Blessings written on the kitchen whiteboard this morning.

Happy Memorial Day to those of us in the USA. It's hot and humid today, which I used to love, but now it makes the lymphedema in my arm act up if I'm out in it for very long, so I will be looking for things to do inside with the air conditioning today. Kind of a bummer, but I have much to get done, so I'll still be busy.

That's one nice thing about being furloughed...I don't have to hold my breath and hope it is nice outside on the weekend because I can get outside any day of the week right now. Not gonna lie...I'm not hating it.

Didn't do nearly as well yesterday, but 6 out of 7 days of staying on plan is better than I've done in a very long time! So, I won't dwell on it. I know what I need to do differently and today I will be more mindful.

Just for Monday:
Pre-log today's food (struggling with this today, as we are getting low on choices...)
Stick to pre-logged foods only
75+ oz water
NO ICE CREAM or COOKIES or Hostess Zingers!

Lymphedema arm massage x 2 / Gentle Chair Yoga / wear compression sleeve and glove on arm today to try to bring down swelling
Gratitude Journal:

Gratitude: Today I am grateful my daughter called me to catch me up on her week. I'm grateful my granddaughter, C, texted to touch base also. It makes my whole day start with a smile! :flowerforyou:

@PackerFanInGB thanks! These were taken in California, in one of those nice spots away from bigger cities. Used to be an Army training base, and now a state park. South of Santa Cruz, north of Monterey.

Felt like my day was productive in terms of chores—laundry, dishes, meal plan, grocery shop, meal prep—but I lost the thread of my intentions and overate. Will not have a good number tomorrow morning! Need to reel it back in. Too hot to exercise, too (heat wave, near 100...this is when not having an air-conditioned gym to go to is sad!). Tomorrow is another day...

JFT Goals for Monday, May 26, 2020

Log everything; Be mindful of everything I eat - try for lower carb/sodium choices; drink 8+ water
Do 30 min Chair Yoga
Do stretching video in full
On Hold --- Work 15 min on Dining Room ceiling light -- blades in progress
Dining Room -- declutter, sweep floor, vacuum, mop floor -- work in 15 min chunks - still decluttering
#1 priority -- doing laundry for brother and his family, run errands for them, go to emergency distribution centers to pick up water, food, bedding, PPE, any cleaning supplies available

The Plan: Do stretches. work in Dining Room do laundry. Do yoga. do laundry work in Dining Room. Do meal prep for lunch & dinner; do dishes. Do 5 min walking program. work in Dining Room. Play on computer for a bit ... do 15 minute chore (DR - ceiling fan/light) ... repeat. do laundry

So, in the week since the flood, I've gained 9 lbs. It is what it is. First, stress and anxiety eating while waiting to find out who was next in the evacuation, while worrying about my older brother and his family as they were evacuated early in the process. Then, the major flooding which became a 500-year event., Then the aftermath. Little sleep; lots and lots of grazing from morning to night. Then, the disbelief seeing Sanford completely underwater to the rooflines of all the buildings in town ... more eating. Finally, the cleanup begins ... muck boots, masks, gloves, ... more stress and anxiety eating. Those not affected brought food and drinks -- pizza, fried chicken & potato salad, mega meat subs, lasagna, pop -- several times throughout the days as cleanup occurred. Brother's house was under 5-7 feet of water which means everything had to go unless it could be put in a clothes or dish washer ... right down to the studs on the house. More food, pop, chips ... to keep energy levels high. So the house is now gutted. Heartbreaking to see all their antiques, treasured items mounded on the outlawn. Now, I've got about 20 garbage bags of laundry to do ... so that will keep me at home where I can better control my eating and drinking. Thank God!! So, now, start again!!

30 minutes intentional activity / 7000 steps I'm a wuss when it comes to walking in the heat, so hit the treadmill in the basement instead. Much better workout than when I walk my dog, who has to stop every 5 feet to sniff or squat!

@cesse47 I'm so sorry to hear about your brother's home! The film they showed on the news was just devestating! I'm glad everyone is safe!

@teigansdad Chocolate chip banana bread is the bomb! My granddaughter makes it. The only thing better would be banana bread with M&Ms in it! LOL~

Hot & Humid again today. So, it will be another day of inside chores and using the treadmill. If I were a morning person, I could've gone this morning for a walk while it was only 70 degrees. That's a perfect temp for me. The lymphedema in my right arm acts up in humid weather, so I've been having to massage it more and rest & raise it for short intervals throughout the day.

I've been listening to a podcast where the woman talked about making small changes...starting with just 1 small change a day (or 1% change she called it). For some reason, that really stuck with me and I have been trying to plan at least one small change each day with my meals, such as no butter on my hamburger bun, or no croutons on a salad. Small things that add up. So yesterday I switched raw crunchy veggies and hummus instead of chips & dip with my brat. It tasted great (I love the roasted red pepper hummus...) and still gave me that crunch that chips do. I've been slowly moving downward in the right direction on the scale since i started doing this, so I'm pretty happy about that. I'm 1.8 lbs away from my first mini goal which I want to hit by end of May. Crossing my fingers!

Peace out JFT peeps! :flowerforyou: Have a great day!

Gratitude: Today I am grateful I got up before 0700 so I don't lose half my day sleeping! Grateful to be home sipping coffee with my husband this morning while watching the news instead of having to go to work. Grateful for air conditioning.

Yesterday was a really good day, even though I went over on cals. a bit. Went out on the river to watch my daughter row. It was crazy hot, but it was fun none the less. Today, I had to come into work as we have a service tech coming in to work on one of the instruments. No walk at lunch today. I have a meeting from 11-12 and the tech is scheduled to arrive at 12:10 ish. Heck I may not even get lunch at lunch today...

Plan is to ride the Peleton tonight, I gotta get back into that. It is way too costly just to sit there.

- Protein bar for lunch (how exciting)
