JUST FOR TODAY--One Day at a Time--Daily Commitment Thread for 2022

Hello JFTers! I hope you all had a nice weekend! We had pretty nice weather here in Green Bay, so we enjoyed getting some outdoors things done. My grandson, M, recently moved to Green Bay to live with his father and had his first football game for his new high school here. He is a sophomore in HS and is a started on the Varsity team. I've never had the opportunity to watch him before since he lived about 3 hours from here while living with his mother. So that was really exciting for my husband and I. I just about cheered my throat raw!
I'm so excited about this next year with him and his sister living near us again and being able to go watch them in their activities. Granddaughter, H, is 13 and will be in volleyball. Grandson M is planning to play basketball after football season. Grandson, T, who is 9 will also be in basketball. It'll make the winter months go by so much quicker having fun things to do!
I've been staying busy by picking up the chores my husband used to do before he took this part=time job. Holy moly. I had no idea how much he did around here. I plan to cook him a nice meal tonight to show him my appreciation.
Here's today's goals. I'm late posting them, but I did have them in my head!
JFT: Monday
1. Create 24H Plan and assess yesterday's. Done
2. Drink 64+ oz of water before 7 PM

6. Home Care: Sweep and mop floors. Declutter desk area. Shred paper. DO THE MAIL. Update checkbook and send out bills. Laundry. Wash bedding. Water flowers, berry bushes and tomato plants.

Today was a busy day. Daughter "misjudged" driving through a McDonalds and tore off her drivers side mirror! She took it to a dealer and they had a buy a new mirror ... for $350.00!!! They had to order it they said, so they had her prepay. Plus it would be another $150 to install it!
Hubby looked on amazon, and he can buy a new one for just $53.00, and he said according to youtube videos, it is only 3 screws. So today I went in.. kinda got mad at them for taking advantage of her, and got her money back.
Hubby had his doctors appt ... so hoping for good news.
Other than that, I am busy sewing a quilt top that I actually hate!! It was a lot for me to finish it, but I am hoping I can find a charity to give it to. I have several like this!
Posted several things on craigslist today .. and so happy that I had takers for almost all that I posted. 2 people coming out tomorrow, and 2 items gone today. Hubby wants to get rid of things, but seems I have to be the one to actually get it done!
@PackerFaninGB ... if you go to the webside "I Found A Quilted Heart" you will see the hearts. I've left 25 hearts so far .. and when I go back the next day they are gone. It is kinda fun.. and ha.. gets me out on my walks more to distribute them. I just hope someone finds them, and it puts a smile on their face. A great way to use up leftover little strips and scraps, and little pieces of batting!
My goals tomorrow will be simple .. ha .. stay out of the nuts!! I've been doing better, but I love nuts, and find myself grabbing handfuls and eating them mindlessly.
JFT, Tues
1. log all my food .. I have been terrible at doing this!
2. concentrate on water ... I need to drink at least 8+ glasses
3. concentrate on protein .. aim for 100 grams of protein.
4. Clean up my sewing room!! It is a mess!
5. Finish my ugly quilt
6. work on tshirt for hubby .. he wanted one for when he goes to the gym, so I made up a pattern. Made a couple samples which he likes.. now I'll sew good ones. These are more like muscle shirts, and he had trouble finding ones that fit him good (ha .. go around his stomach!).
7. go to gym
8. walk in the evening .. I find that going to the gym in the mornings gets my day going; and a walk in the evenings helps me control binge/mindless eating in the evenings.. plus makes the evening go faster!

Good morning! I had a pretty good day yesterday. It felt productive anyway. Today will be busy also. It's Tuesday, so I will be going to my mom's house and sewing. We are working on a Christmas Quilt and are doing one block per week. It's got a lot of small pieces so it's a challenge for me since I have pretty puffy fingers, but It's going to be so cute. It's called the Lori Holt Vintage Christmas quilt, and I love her stuff. I've got to get Maddie out for a walk before I go though. Last week, we sewed our first block and it took like 4 hours! I couldn't believe one block could take me 4 hours to cut and sew. Hoping today's goes a bit quicker. I have to run to Walmart for prescriptions and pick up some produce. I have some stuff to do around the house and I also am giving M a ride to football practice again. It probably doesn't sound like much to others, but when you get used to retirement, it feels like a lot! LOL 😂😁
@mytime6630 I think I have 3 quilt tops that I hate down in my basement! I liked them when I started them, but for some reason just can't get myself to work on them anymore. I think I'm partial to doing the tops and not so partial to the actual sandwiching, quilting and binding of them. HAHA! Plus, I started them awhile ago and don't like the fabric as much as I did when I started it. Thanks for the tip on finding the Hearts page. I have a lot of little scraps of fabric and batting and I save them all because I keep telling myself I'm going to make a postage stamp quilt or crumb quilt someday, so sounds like they would work perfectly! I love this idea! Who do you donate your quilts to? Is there an organization or quilt group that takes them near you? I'd like to be able to find a sewing group for my mom to join. I know she misses going to sewing group with her friends ever since we moved her up by us.
Our tomatoes are starting to come in faster than we can eat them! I don't have enough to actually 'can' them and would love some ideas of things I can make with them! I hate throwing them away and don't know our neighbors well enough to ask them if they want any. Maybe I could put them on a little box by the road with a "free" sign and some bags...we get a lot of dog walkers who go past our house.
Have a nice day everyone!

Another busy weekend leading into a busy week, but I finally got caught up with reading posts yesterday.
@mytime6630 - It's good to hear from you. I love the idea of leaving the quilted hearts around town and hope it gives you as much joy as you are giving others. Prayers for a good result for your husband.
@Bex953172 - The summer holidays can be a trying time for parents, but you're almost at the finish line. Give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back for all you do for your girls, and schedule some down time for yourself when the kids are back in school.
@pridesabtch - Hooray for getting out on the bike and for the progress you're making with your new eating plan. My family likes the Rao sauces because they don't have added sugar or corn syrup, but if they're too chunky for you, try pureeing the sauce in the blender before you heat it. If you only need a bit, just transfer the rest back to the jar. I did this with canned whole tomatoes and chunky sauces when my daughter was young because, like you, she was fine with tomato sauce but didn't like tomatoes.
@PackerFanInGB - What a joy to have your grandchildren nearby! Enjoy all those games!
@clicketykeys - Hope you get the part!
@TerriRichardson112 - Love your habit trackers - such an inspiration!
@emgracewrites - We all have less than perfect days, but they don't cancel the progress that we make on good ones. Hang in there!
@more_freggies76 - All those green checks are a beautiful sight!
@cschmitz110515 - Hope you're enjoying your vacation!4 -
Only two more weeks of summer before Fall Convocation and the start of another school year - where does the time go? I'm trying to cram in a few more adventures with the older grandkids this week since I'll be taking care of the younger ones down in MD next week. I need to find time to fit in a haircut, do the college's compliance training modules, and set up my online course components
Still coasting through on the diet and exercise front, but weight and BP are holding steady and I'm feeling pretty good. Once I'm back to my school-year routine, it'll be easier to get back to weight-loss mode. I'd need to lose another 11 pounds to meet the year-end goal that I posted in January, but I'd be happy with 5-6. So a small deficit, consistent logging, and regular exercise are the plan after Labor Day.

Have a great Monday y'all!
I got home around 4:00 yesterday and decided I'd lay down and take a short nap. Hubby always wakes me up when he comes in so that would be an hour max, right? Nope guess he texted me to say he wasn't coming home until 8:00ish. I figured this out at 6:47 when I finally woke up... Oops. Kids had already eaten, we were just having left overs so no biggie, but I like sitting down to dinner with them when they are home. No laundry was done. No Peleton was ridden. As a matter of fact I went to bed at 9:00 even after my nap. Made for a very unproductive evening on my part.
Got up this morning just to discover our whole neighborhood had no water. I took it as a sign to sleep another half hour since I couldn't shower anyway. Bottled water to clean up and dry shampoo for the win! Boy, I hope I have water when I get home. Really, really need to wash my hair.
Work has been busy today, hence the late check in (4:30pm), but It's been a good day. Tomorrow I take S back to college. I'll miss having her home. We didn't really see her a lot, but there is just something reassuring about having both of my girls home.

3. concentrate on protein .. aim for 100 grams of protein.
4. Clean up my sewing room!! It is a mess! And it still looks a mess!! I have too much fabric and craft stuff .. but yet, I just can't part with any of it, especially now that we are retired, and everything cost so much!
5. Finish my ugly quilt
6. work on tshirt for hubby .. he wanted one for when he goes to the gym, so I made up a pattern. Made a couple samples which he likes.. now I'll sew good ones. These are more like muscle shirts, and he had trouble finding ones that fit him good (ha .. go around his stomach!).
7. go to gym
8. walk in the evening .. I find that going to the gym in the mornings gets my day going; and a walk in the evenings helps me control binge/mindless eating in the evenings.. plus makes the evening go faster!
Hubby got bad news tonite .. his psa numbers have doubled. He will get checked again in 3 months, and if up, will have more tests, more treatments, etc.
So both of us were pretty bummed today. Tonite, we just laid down with the tv off.. looking out the window and just resting and talking. All will be ok.. just hate to think the cancer has returned, and he has to through more treatment. And .. after 48 years together, I just can't think about what we know someday will happen... we want at least another 10 years together. so .. positive thoughts!
Daughter called and she had a bad nite also .. more nightmares. She drinks a lot of caffeine.. and tried so many times to get her to cut back. Also told her she has to be the one to call her doctor ... and explain what she is going through. I can't do it, and when I told, the doctor only listens to what our daughter says, so it is useless. again .. positive thoughts tonite.
SO JFT, Wed
1. go to the gym ... starts my day out on a good note
2. concentrate on water
3. work on 2 quilt tops ... not the ugly one. GOing to donate both to a fundraiser for a girl with cancer.. so I need these finished by October. Tops are done .. just need to sandwich and quilt them
4. practice 15 minutes piano
5. go for a walk in evening
6.

Happy Hump Day! I felt like I got a lot done yesterday, but now that I go back and look at my plan versus what I actually did, I guess I spent most of my day sewing either at my mom's or here! Now I need to move some of my to-do's for yesterday to to-do's today. I'm dragging *kitten* today though, and I'm not sure why. I got plenty of sleep but my muscles and joints feel sore today. Dreading taking Maddie for a walk today, but I know once we go out the door, I'll enjoy it! It's just taking that first step. Putting on my walking shoes...her enthusiasm when she sees me do that will push me to do the rest!
I seem to be stalled, losing and gaining the same 3 or 4 pounds. I need to really buckle down on my water and eat more in the middle of the day versus dinner. I'm usually not very hungry until about 4pm. Then I might as well put on a feed bag! The worst time of day to do that, I know. So, this week my focus is on drinking enough water every day and eating more filling meals at lunch, maybe more protein?
@mytime6630 I'm sorry to hear the results were not what you were hoping. I am praying for you and your husband. I think lying quietly together was probably exactly what you both needed. I hope your daughter makes a call to her doctor. I will add her to my prayers also. I have to tell you, I smile when you refer to your ugly quilt...the one I'm working on right now turned ugly to me yesterday too...I don't even want to work on it today. UGH. I no longer like the colors I picked. It'll be fine for throwing on the back of the couch or something though. It's not horrible...just not what I envisioned.
@pridesabtch Sounds to me like your body needed you to rest! Good for you for listening to it!

Didn’t meet any of my goals for today - forgot to even post my goals for today. Totally derailed from my healthy eating plan, probably because I’m feeling super stressed about this meeting tomorrow, where I have to meet a whole bunch of new people and sound like an expert on a topic I’m not actually an expert on.
Anxious brain isn’t focusing on anything tonight so I’m just going to chill, do some last minute prep tomorrow morning, and try not to beat myself up too badly for falling off the healthy eating bandwagon.
Happy Hump Day to me! 🐪4 -
