Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

Good day and a solid week. Down 2.4# for the week

For Sunday, finish the week strong. Do the things I’m supposed to do.

1900 calories: 1990 for the day, 1826 average for the week
Work out for 80 minutes: 83 minutes for Sunday including a 2.52 mile walk. 2020 high points for hours with 8:56, for miles with 17.44, crunches with 360 and push ups with 102.
Make good choices and revisit my goals mid day: Made good choices and even though I went over calories a bit on Sunday, I was under for the week.
Support my bride: She always supports me but I can do better. Let the little things go on by
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged: Snacked dinner on the couch but stopped myself from going overboard. Slow .5 walk after dinner with my bride. I’m happy to go at her pace, this isn’t exercise time[/quote]

For Monday, there are things I want to achieve for my long term health and well -being. There are actions I have to take and actions I have to avoid in order to achieve those goals.

1900 calories:
Work out for 80 minutes:
Make good choices but recognize that I’m not going to be perfect. It’s the long haul that matters:
Support my bride, don’t verbalize the little things:
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged:

4) AJNH MRN folders / Facebook Live 12:00 / catch up email backlog / email new DL info to HRD

Shopping together on Sat. hubby wanted french onion dip & chips for himself. No problem. I made the mistake of buying kettle chips (a fav of mine) and pickle/ranch dip for myself. Oops. That, plus homemade ice cream from a favorite local restaurant in our carry out order this weekend spelled doom for my food log. Oh well, onward! Planned suppers include fresh trout and broccoli bisque, then leftovers. I'll forget about chips/dip & ice cream the rest of this week, and keep up with dog walks, maybe even x-train.

Hey guys!

I spent the weekend at a Christian Woman's Conference and got to finally meet my best friend in real life! It was a blast and I got SOOO much out of it! But I came back tired and sore from all the walking. Lol.

I went to bed late last night because I was up spending time with Matt and talking. So I actually got up later than I had been but fell asleep on the couch and when I finally woke up I only had 8 minutes to get to work instead of having an extra hour to get there.
School starts an hour earlier now because they are bringing half of the district students into hybrid this month and the other half are starting next month. Very annoying. Thank God I didn't need to pack a lunch or take a shower since I took one the night before. I ended up only getting there 5 minutes late.

I'm going to post some goals now I think as opposed to wanting to sign on early in the morning and not doing it.

@ZizzyBumble what a breathtaking view! Do you mind if I ask where that is?

@bookmeister86 I'm with you on getting up early and out in the dark. It's so hard! When I do, I wear a reflective vest (my LED vest shorted out), high vis hat & LED headlamp. Dog wears a blaze (hunter's) orange vest with reflective stripes & LED collar. Since we have few to no sidewalks in our area, we walk on side of the road, and I want drivers to see us. I know we're visible, because people have commented to me. When the sky is clear I enjoy looking at the seasonal constellations, listening to the birds (no earbuds for me on walks), and watching the sunrise. Best part, besides happy dog: getting my workout done at the beginning of the day! I love knowing what my exercise calories are.

Hi, I’m on the Isle of Skye (Scotland). My house is a bit further back up the road so this is pretty much the view I wake up to (weather permitting as there are some days when you can’t see much for rain!)

What am I doing to keep busy? To name a few...

Keep your chin up!
Turning up is the ultimate success!
