JUST FOR TODAY -- Daily Commitment Thread for 2021
Replies

I guess I didn't post goals today?
I reckon I "posted" them mentally haha
So they were
- Water Challenge ✔️ (My challenge is just 4 cups atm so I can gradually increase)
- Log all food ✔️ technically I'm over in calories too, but my calories are low at 1250 per day so being only a couple of hundred over is still in deficit so I'm happy with that.
- Exercise ❌ I couldn't today. I've been so busy I just got really tired and I could tell the difference of not wanting too because of my emotions and not wanting to because of the physical feeling in my body. The 5 min ab work out I did yesterday has certainly had an affect, my abs and arms are sore today (from holding a plank) however, I am going to create a weekly workout plan consisting of cardio, abs and bum.
- watch TEDTalks ✔️ watched a few, some good others not so much but still glad I watched some. There was a good one, about how our mind works in changing our behavior and habits.
It used examples of how negative things (for example the pictures on cigarette packets) have little affect. Where as if you offered a positive outcome (other than Smoking will kill you) such as "if you stop smoking you'll find it easier to take part in sports" then people are more likely to quit.
So instead of thinking, if I don't lose weight I'll have a particular health problem (negative) instead think if I lose weight, I'll fit in my clothes better, I can feel more confident, I won't be self-conscious.
Our mind wants instant rewards so we respond better to positive statements because a reward is something positive.
On another note, Marley tripped over today (despite me saying don't run) she fell onto her knees, onto her face then flipped right over her head right outside school. I took her back to the car to assess the damage and decided despite living a 2 minute drive away that she needed first aid immediately so I ran her back into the school and they sorted her enough to get home. Her knees a mess with a deep cut, and her nose and head are grazed terribly. But she's in good spirits now.
Tomorrow I might go for a walk either by myself or with the dog. Give myself a bit of headspace because since 3pm til 9pm they took up every single second of my time lol2 -

So so true @Bex! I hope you get that walk in .. for me... my walking is more mental therapy than exercise. I miss it when I can't get out. Just the sunshine... time to be alone... and clear the mind! Hope little Marley is OK!0 -

I GOT TO HUG MY BEST FRIEND TODAY! It's been over a year but we're both fully vaccinated and were comfortable with it. It was glorious. Wow do I miss hugging! Had to call my sisters out for just some poor communication and repeatedly blowing me off for plans. It was hard to do but I tried to be honest and respectful. It was just getting to a point where it was ridiculous and I was about to blow. Those conversations are always tough, but I am glad I got it off my chest. Happy weekend all!

I was doing so well for like a month. And then everything went completely off the rails. My problem is that I get so hungry on my way out of work that I feel like I always need to munch on something on my drive home. And it has to be something either crunchy or sweet. And it's almost always absolutely terrible for me. I actually just realized that apples can be crunchy and sweet! (This is in bold so that I remember it! Lol)
But it's no surprise that I'm up 5 lbs in like 3 weeks. Even with all the calories I've been burning at work. My water intake has also been slacking the last few weeks too.
Oh! So our terrible manager is no longer at the store and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted from everyone's shoulders. I've worked with our actual store manager my last two shifts and it's a completely different feeling. And he comes back full time to our store the Monday after Easter. So just 2 more weeks! Everyone is really really excited! Lol
Okay, onto some goals!
3/21/21
- work 6-1
- eat an apple on the drive home
- Pens game
- Author work(This is going to be creating an author business plan for the next few weeks)
- clean (4 tasks)
- ACTUALLY MAKE DINNER!!!!
- Matt time
- stay up until whenever!5 -

I've been far too lax recently and I need to get back to logging. Logging works! Although I am considering upping my allowance to 1400 calories for the first week just to make it easier, not decided yet.

JFT 3/22 M
1) Walked dog 3.65 mi before work
happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
3) Leftovers for supper / net cals zero / 14c water
4) Facebook Live 12:00 / pick up JMIO t-shirt 4:30 - 5:00 / 5:30 haircut
5) P2P payment / xfer funds / balance bank accts / update budget s/s / prep lunch, snacks, water bottle & overnight oats / boil eggs / replace batteries in Noxgear vest / finalize grocery list / declutter 15 min. / wash dishes?
6) Meditation / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / 6:00 alarm (walk dog before work)
At the end of yesterday's dog walk, I completed the 139 mile distance of my 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 virtual challenge. Yay!
Then in the afternoon, my BFF came over for a driveway visit. Would have been nicer if wasn't quite so windy, but sun was out & we were just happy to spend time visiting in person for the first time since October.
For the first time in a while, today I woke up early and walked dog before work. Mild temps at last so wore spring jacket & put on our LED gear. As sunrise approached heard song birds, geese, cranes, and ducks. Great way to start the day!
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and continuing to log / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 ~ completed distance on 3.21.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up1 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Have not been on here much all weekend. It was absolutely beautiful out... so I went on several long, 6 mile walks, and worked in the yard. Clearing a lot of honeysuckle!! Wednesday I am having 5 cu yards of compost delivered, so I will be busy.. but good exercise! I am loving spring. I find it puts me in such a better mood.. which also makes me eat healthier.
I've had almost 9 days of pretty good eating. Hubby is also on board with eating better, so that is helping. Last nite I did have 2 granola bars, but I kept it at just 2. I had froze them in the downstairs refrigerator... so harder to get to!
So I am keeping my goals simple again.. because for me, if I just do these 2 things I can lose weight. I make healthy meals.. I eat very healthy and in moderation. Its the nite time snacking that puts me over, and the lack of water.. which I am also getting better at, because I am not eating at nite.
SO goals for today, March 22, monday
1. no nite time snacking. Do whatever I can to distract myself for 10 minutes. Brush teeth, take a walk, go downstairs, get on social media or on here....
2. concentrate on 8+ cups water
3. listen to podcasts if time2 -

- work 6-1 ✅Was a really awesome day!
- eat an apple on the drive home✅
- Pens game✅ They lost to a terrible team 😭
- Author work(This is going to be creating an author business plan for the next few weeks)✅ Read a chapter in the book about creating an author plan and took notes. I also ordered her workbook that's a companion to the ebook. That should be delivered in the next few days.
- clean (4 tasks) ❌ Played some games on my phone but got to spend some time in the sun.
- ACTUALLY MAKE DINNER!!!! ❌ Nope...got a hoagie and a bag of chips from Wawa. Drank two bottles of water instead of a coke though! So that's progress!
- Matt time ✅ We hung out on the couch after he got home from work. He stayed late but we got some good QT time in.
- stay up until whenever!✅11:30 I think? Lol
So the apple after work plan worked, but of course the exiting manager gave us each a bag with a hand written note and a load of candy. I ate all the chocolate while I was driving home. Le sigh.
I splurged on food again last night. I bought a little variety cheesecake the other day. I ate 3 pieces over the last two days. I'm giving the other 3 to Matt though. I have to get a handle on my weight. I've gained back 5 of the 30lbs I lost in the last few months. So I logged back into Noom and started going back over articles and taking notes again.
Oh! I was also talking to A last night. She's been doing a lot of research into ADHD and she said that ppl with that diagnosis have a really hard time creating new habits and discipline because they can never find a reward that is worth doing a boring task. Which is EXACTLY my problem! And it makes a lot of sense that I would have this issue bc my bipolar diagnosis has a lot of similarities with ADHD! At least now I know why I have this issue!
Anyway! Sorry for the ramble! Lol.

My problem is that I get so hungry on my way out of work that I feel like I always need to munch on something on my drive home. And it has to be something either crunchy or sweet. And it's almost always absolutely terrible for me.
I was the same way when I worked out of the home. I would be starving all the way home... then the minute I walked in the house, eat anything in site! So I had to figure out a way also.. and had a small box of snacks in my car. I even do that now (well, before covid!) if I think I have a lot of errands to run. I think a apple is a great idea. I also carry protein shakes with me, or protein bars. Even those little mini bags of pretzels.0 -
Helloooo JFT I'm back!
I've been busy of late, and didn't make time to MFP. That changes today, I've got a spreadsheet I'm going to fill out religiously so I can know what kind of weight loss I'm expecting, let's do this.
JFT:
✅Go running (it was great, I always forget how much I like it after I let it go too long between runs)
-Clear another raised bed frame
-Water the plants
✅ At least 95g protein (my breakfast and lunch have been protein-packed, haha)
-Do Crafts (paint, knit, or block the knitting I just finished)
-at least 7k steps
-call a friend back2
