Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

@Snowflake1968 - How exciting for your daughter! The house is super-cute! Enjoy your camping trip!

@suzij27 - I like your attitude. I always say I'm a work in progress. All we can do is recognize what we need to change and continually work to improve. Even if I hit a goal number on the scale, I'll still be working at something.

@Kuhl50 - I also noticed the scale edging up a bit or basically staying the same when I was consistently weight lifting the past few months. (I've taken a couple weeks off and have seen the scale going down again, but I've also been consistently in the green, so hopefully it's not from loss of muscle!) Anyway, from what I've read on some other boards here, you want your protein to be at 0.8%-1% of body weight. So, if I'm about 140lbs, I should be eating about 112g-140g of protein each day. I set my nutrition goals at Protein 40%, Fat 25% and Carbs 35%. My diary is open, so if you want to take a look at Wednesday, 7/15, that was a decent day for me. I get extra protein by adding egg whites to my salad and I sometimes have a high protein shake. I also eat a lot of chicken! As for dressing, I use a Fat Free Catalina dressing (made by Kraft). It's tomato based and sweet, but I really enjoy it.

THURSDAY:
- log everything🟢 / stay green🟢
- Exercise🔴
- NO CHIPS!!🟢
- Meal plan / grocery list🔴
- Housework🟢
- Start planning mom’s bday🟢

So relieved that my first rehearsal back at church went well yesterday. I'm still nervous about Sunday, but I feel a little more confident. As luck would have it, as soon as I pulled in the driveway back from rehearsal, I got a text from the music director at another church asking me to sing for a wedding in August. I'm excited to get back into it!

JFT FRIDAY:
- Log everything / stay green
- Exercise - I need to get moving!!!
- NO CHIPS

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*************

A good day yesterday! I got everything done! Had a headache with my student loan company but it got fixed. Matt's still having chest pains and had to call out of work. He suffers from costochondritis which is the swelling of the muscles in his chest. He doesn't have flare ups often but when he does they can be debilitating. This one has lasted 4 days. We're hoping that today will be the last day. We need him back to work.

Today was a tough day, work wise. Had to give really difficult feedback to one of my direct reports that will impact their career. But the bandaid is ripped off and the ball is now in their court.

I did stay on track eating healthy and getting in my exercise. I’m trying to work changing up my “old standbys” to lessen the fat percentage and bump protein when I can, but still ended at 29% fat today (and 32% protein, 110g). Definitely a work in progress.

@Kuhl50 I have found exactly the same thing when I changed up my stamina strength training. It does seem to be settling down again so give it a bit more time.
