Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

Morning everyone!

I missed yesterday because Matt was off from work. Lol. I got up early because the guy who fixes cars out of our detached garage looked at mine and I had to hand off my keys. He fixed my directional signal free of charge but he said that my AC converter is bad. The auto parts store wants $400 for a new one. He said that he would look online and let me know. So now I wait. Lol. If he can't find one I may just shell out the money. We have it and I still have like 2 years left on the car and I can't just not have air for that long. Especially when the summers here are so hot and sticky.

Matt can't win recently. He's having back spasms at work that apparently hurt like hell. He can't leave though because he has way too much to do. He's off again tomorrow so he's going to lay down as soon as he gets home and probably stay in bed all day tomorrow. Send him prayers and positive thoughts, please.

I read pretty much all day yesterday. I finished two books, one I had started the night before, and started a third. I can read faster than most people talk. Ex. I can finish reading a book faster than it would take for me to listen to it as an audiobook, even when the speed is increased x1.25 So I can get a lot of reading done in a short amount of time. We also gave Panda a second bath. This one seems to have been much more effective. I'm still going to keep an eye on him though and see how he looks next week. I will traumatize my cat as many times as I need to to get this under control.

Okay, Onto some goals.

JFT, 7/8/20

- Post
- Dishwasher
- FOLD LAUNDRY!
- Food in crockpot at 1
- Talk to T about action scene

This reminds me of when Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix came out. It came out the weekend we were going on holiday so my parents bought it so I could have it on the plane.
Plane got delayed but our connecting flight was on time so left without everyone else who was connecting lol and had to stay the day at the airport.
Basically read that mother-effer in like 1 and a half days haha then had nothing to read for a 2 week holiday (although I did just read it again haha)

But yeah I'm a fast reader too. I've never tried audible. I don't think I'd like someone reading to me and yeah I reckon I could read faster too lmao

@Bex953172 - LOL I should stay away from the fries too, but I'm not being successful in either.

Today I have to hold onto the thought that I was faithful to my habits. I know it won’t show on the scale for awhile yet—I’ll be paying for the 4th of July binge for days to come. But if I keep my days like today (journal, track, exercise), I’ll be ok.

Some NSV to report — Sunday I did a 2 hour kayak with DH. Longest/farthest I’ve done in years. Around the house I’ve started lifting/moving things that before I would have asked DH or one of the girls to lift. And eldest stepdaughter told me last week “I can tell you’ve been working out. You look like you’re getting jacked”.

So, I’ll stick with the habits, stay the course, and accept some bumps along the way!

WOTY: Habits

WEDNESDAY:
- Log everything🟢 / stay green🟢

- Make bday poster!🟢
- Library pickup🟢

Today starts a busy point in the month for me. My younger two kids have their birthdays today and tomorrow. Then Saturday (if the weather is good) we have the family party. We always let the kids pick a restaurant for dinner on their bdays and then we’re doing pizza on Saturday. Plus there will be cake and ice cream each day. I’ve been well under calorie goals this week so far. I’m hoping to balance out any high cal days coming up. 🤞

JFT THURSDAY:

JULY CHALLENGE:
In an attempt to refocus this month, I’ve decided to try and give up chips. This will be extremely difficult. I eat them almost daily. They are my weakness. I’m using a bikini as my emoji, since that will be a goal for next summer!

*************NO CHIP CHALLENGE*************

Wednesday: all food logged
Thursday: log all food

I am pleased with myself because Wednesday I thought about not logging, since I knew what I was eating was going to put me over, but I logged it anyway. That has been a derailment spot for me in the past, and I am glad that I made the choice to keep logging and take the hit.

Taking the hit's hard! But once you do it you realise you can move forward from it!
Well done for owning it! 💪

Last night I had to go buy some bread for Rodger and when I left the house I said I was going to buy some chips for myself. I went to the store, walked down to the chip aisle the arrows were the wrong direction so I turned around and went to the checkout. I regretted it later in the evening because I really wanted them, but I made it through.

@Bex953172 - I asked for a deep fryer two years ago for Christmas, I don't know why I did that. I am happy to say though that I haven't used it in since before Christmas. How do you make your fries taste like McDonald's? Maybe I shouldn't ask that question. LOL

@mytime6630 - How long does it take to get the last 5 treatments? Is it a weekly thing? Is it the radiation causing the pain?
I had a tooth break that had had a filling just before Kaitlyn's wedding last year. I had a root canal and a crown put in in December, I was shocked that they could do anything with it because all the was left was one little tiny piece.

@musikalmami237 - Welcome!

@kuhl50 - It's really nice when other people start noticing, especially those that live with you as it's harder to see the changes when you see someone daily.


@littleblackskirt - I am floating around the same 5 pounds too and don't notice a difference at all in my clothes. I think it's closer to 10 before I start noticing a difference in my clothes. I need to make my goal to get back to the 180's at least before the end of August. Even 189 would be 10lbs.

I have to talk about chips for a little bit because it seems to be a downfall for us all. My best friend's husband is the plant manager of a chip plant and she is the office manager. I was talking to her on Monday night and she said they have had their busiest times since Covid hit, they usually hire students in the summer at the end of June to help with the lead up to Halloween. Since school was out they called students back in April this year to keep up with demand. I think chips are a comfort food and they are relatively cheap for a treat.

Ok, off for a meeting.

^^^^^^
And I have officially ruined everyone's diet lmao.
