Daily Commitment Thread for 2020 -- JUST FOR TODAY

Right, it's Monday morning and I'm getting back on that horse! Completely fed up of seeing the scales slowly going in the wrong direction. I don't want to lose what I've achieved this year. The stone I've lost so far has taken me from feeling fat to looking better. The next stone will make me feel slim
My back injury is slowly improving, although I still have a lot of sciatic pain (that's my "normal"). I will keep trying to do a daily walk and build up time slowly. I'm going to start logging again today as it focusses my mind. I gave away all the cake that was left last night
JFT Monday 16th November
Log everything
Stay in the green
Do some back exercises
30 minute walk
30 minutes tidying garden
30-60 minutes admin, finding doing a small bit of my parents admin every day makes it easier
Positive thoughts - I can do it!

Not a bad day. Didn't feel like I did much but looking back now I guess I actually got a lot done. Lol.
Back to school this morning. Not excited. Our governor left it up to the individual school districts to decide if they should close or not but we just got a new high in cases as a state yesterday so I can't imagine we're going to stay open much longer.
We've already had 5 cases in the school and the gen ed students have only been back for 4 days! It's insane. There's a school board meeting on Wednesday and we're all hoping that they close us down next week. The other Paras and I were thinking that we might be closed down until at least the middle of January. I don't know. I just hope this doesn't turn into another Spanish Flu, where many more people died the second time around.
Okay, onto some goals.

Off track diet day and mixed week
For Sunday new day. If something doesn’t work, do something new. If that doesn’t work, do something new. If that didn’t work do something new.
1900 calories: 3027. Third highest weekly average at 2382
Work out for 25 minutes: 17 minutes and reached 62 minute average for the week including 12.87 miles of exercise walks, 2180#, 425 crunches, 425 push ups and 240 lunges
Make good choices: Did until dinner
Support my bride: Important. She’s my why
Eat dinner at the table:Nope
For Monday: I want to be healthy. Want to have a long life and enjoy retirement with my bride. I need to eat better and exercise more to make this happen.
1800 calories. Average 1950 for the week:
Work out for 80 minutes Average an hour a day and hit 13.5 exercise miles for the week:
Support my bride. Do the little things unprompted and without expecting acknowledgement:
Eat dinner at the table, unplugged. Catch up on my why on the couch:
Train the dog daily:3 -
Well, I’ve gained back 20lbs that worked hard as heck to lose. I know a lot of that is due to COVID because I’d stopped going to the gym. I know the biggest reason is what I’m eating though.
So, just for today
Log everything
Log it before eating it
Be aware of portions
Exercise 30 minutes

Hi all. Just checking in to let y’all know I’m still around. I’ve been really struggling to communicate with people. It’s like I just have nothing to say. I’m back to working from home 3 days a week, which is nice, but it doesn’t help me be social. Hubby I’d working long hours with a big project at work so he isn’t home either. Anyway, I hope you are all happy and healthy.
JFT Monday
- take morning meds
- Morning meeting
- Laundry
- Take kid to play practice, not forget her night. Parenting fail last night, lost track of time and was late for pickup.
- Maybe Pot Roast for dinner
- Take evening meds
Have a great day y’all!6 -

@mytime6630 - beautiful quilts!
@littleblackskirt - It's nice that your back is feeling a bit better.
@HEGoddard0928 - The cases are soaring here in our province too, it's quite scary.
@sviers13 - I think Covid eating managed to get a lot of us.
@pridesabtch - Happy to see you post.
I had such an enjoyable weekend with my girls, we spent the night at Kaitlyn's Saturday night after decorating her house for Christmas in the afternoon. We then watched a Christmas movie, but truthfully I slept through most of it.
Yesterday after I got home I hung some Christmas lights on our deck to start to get us in the mood for Christmas.
Going to be a long stressful week I think, so will try to keep my emotional eating under control.

Stay in the green yes
Do some back exercises yes
30 minute walk no, really cold wind and too sore
30 minutes tidying garden ditto
30-60 minutes admin, finding doing a small bit of my parents admin every day makes it easier yes, did around 2 hours as I wasn't outside
Positive thoughts - I can do it! yes, I will do it
I've realised it's only 9 weeks until my "big" birthday. My original hope had been to have reached my goal by then, it won't happen, but I want to be closer to it. I haven't seen any of my extended family since my last birthday. I don't expect to see them this birthday either, I expect we won't be allowed to meet up until later in the year (and sitting outside in Scotland in January is chilly lol) but I'm thinking how lovely it would be to be 30/35 pounds lighter when I finally see them again I will do it!
JFT Tuesday 17th November
Log everything
Stay in the green
Do some back exercises
30 minute walk? Weather is even worse than yesterday
30 minute tidying garden
Admin, do long phone call, banking
Sell parents cars today
Wait in for a parcel
Not sure how I'm going to juggle going out to bank, walk, selling cars with waiting in, but I'm sure it will work out.
