Just for Today.... ONE DAY AT A TIME... Daily commitment for 2025

Starting over weight: March 205.5

• May Goal:185
• May 5: 195.2 - Wow! Jumped 4 pounds in a day. I felt bloated, but man. I know it's not real, but it is discouraging.

Didn't post goals over the weekend. Saturday was good, got a lot of walking in at the regatta. Wore the pup out so he slept on the way home and went to bed early. A friend is in from Iowa, so we've gone out with him the past 2 nights. Fun catching up, but bad for the waist line. I was actually up 4 pounds today from yesterday. Had so gastro issues yesterday and feel bloated today, but was shocked to see that number. I know I did not eat an extra 12000 calories yesterday, so I won't let it derail me.

Not much planned today. It's Bill's last day in town. We may or may not see him. He gets really bored sitting at his parents and I understand so I don't mind changing my schedule a bit. I may try to hit spin class this evening depending on how I feel.

Recap Sunday ~ Temp is cool but sun is shining & mild breeze 😎 Beautiful day to walk around a car show and I remembered my sunglasses. Living in the north, never dawned on me to wear sun screen, and my face was a bit pink by evening, but I'm dark haired and it will fade soon. Good thing hubby wore ball cap, he's very fair.

• Church 9:00 😁
• Lunch? (forgot to stop at bread shop yesterday) ~ at car show, usual festival fare of brat & potato chips, followed by sharing deep fried cheese curds (so good!) with hubby & I logged best guess / make hubby's favorite chicken dish for supper ~ yum! / 80 oz. water 😁 / limit sweets & snacks ~ some more Easter chocolate, but not too much (there's not much left LOL) / log all food / net calories zero 😛 -114
• OT exercises 🙂 / walk dog too tired after car show, but had >8,200 steps on Fitbit at end of day so happy me 😁
• Car show at nearby tech school with hubby? Yes. We qualify for senior pricing (free) 🤣 but since cost is only $5 each & goes towards students, I'm ok paying. Maybe eat lunch there, not sure what's available. ~ As we approached the entrance, students waved us beyond the cash box & wrist band guy put ours on without even asking. I told hubby we look old and we joked with guy that he should make us feel better & ask to see ID. All in fun. 😁 At least we purchased food there, as it's put on by auto club students for their benefit.
• Repeat: anything accomplished is a bonus ~ maybe?

JFT M 5/5 ~ Temps to low 60s, chance of isolated shower.

• Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets / 80 oz. water / log all food / net calories zero
• OT exercises / walk dog
• Wash dishes / fold & put away line-dried laundry / usual M garbage chores (back to regular schedule now that NFL Draft is over) / read / digital declutter / other?

WOTY 2025:  Judicious ~ I just like the way the word sounds, and the meaning is right for me: having or showing reason and good judgement in making decisions. I can apply this word in so many ways!

Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow.

At the top of today's agenda is a trip to the endodontist for an emergency root canal - ugh! - so I'm not going to post other goals. I imagine I won't be eating much anyway.

@cschmitz110515 I actually have no idea how it would work in other countries actually!

Day 6 today but I missed yesterday.

Had awful tooth pain and today I had root canal 👍

So today I need to pop a couple of ibuprofen and do 200 skips because my numbness has worn off now lol!

lots of stress going on in the family with my dads health right now. He was hospitalized last week for bradycardia (low heart rate) which they got under control over night in the ICU. They discharged him two days later, and then we were told his tests showed he had massive blockages and needed open heart surgery , then that changed and we were told he was too much of a risk for open heart surgery so they attempted to do a procedure in the office of all things to clear out the blockages from his existing stents but it failed because there was so much plaque the doctor could not locate the stents , only to then be told he would be rescheduled for angioplasty . We were never actually shown images of these blockages so no evidence of any of it. Only the doctors words. So LST, we pumped the brakes and we are waiting for a second opinion on Friday because the whole experience with the first doctor was way too hasty in his methods and plans for procedures without providing enough information. Something felt off. To make matters worse, today my sister slipped and fell at work and ended up with a broken wrist needing surgery. She's staying with a friend tonight who is taking care of her.

Could sure use some prayers our way! its been a rough week . I think the stress must be hitting me because I am feeling super low energy. I got my workout done today but after work I did chores and came in the house and just sat and rested mostly.
