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

@pridesabtch - congrats on the second round.. Sounds like you might have some choices to make. Commuting to work is such a hassle. I have never had more than a 20 minute commute and now for the last 15 years, its across my living room. I worked remotely before working remotely was cool. But I have had to put my time in traveling and being a road warrior earlier in my work history.

angf0679- sorry about your stressful day at work. Its easy to self soothe with bad choices isn't it? Old habits die hard.. I hate when that happens with Keys but glad you found them.. I always say my superpower is that I can lose keys faster than the speed of light. I literally will set things down and not think about it and so it doesn't register memory wise. Its literally a blank for me on where I put my keys so I am trying to be better about that.

Woke up with a killer headache at 4:30 am. Still got it, ibuprofen not touching it. I think its tension I am holding in my head and neck , probably from work yesterday which was pretty stressful . I didn't take a lot of breaks and was probably staring at my computer for too many hours with bad posture.. I have a heating pad on my neck and shoulders. I really want to go out for dinner somewhere, anywhere… pizza sounds good but I don't feel great AND I have made really good progress this week on getting the scale down and I don't want to spike that. I wish there was a pizza that existed that was low salt.. lol … Decisions decisions…

I took another unplanned JFT & MFP hiatus since last Thurs when hubby and I were out of town for family cookout at middle brother's. Caught up with everyone's JFT posts since then and back to posting again. Way to hang in there, my JFTers! Welcome @Kizzy_Ann!

I have over-indulged lately, and my weight is going up, nearing my high danger zone. That scares me, and makes me mad at myself. I really hate the weight I am right now. I'm uncomfortable in my clothes, and not that much in my closet fits anymore. That has to change. Portion control and knocking off the bad snack/sweet habit (healthy, portion appropriate snacks ok) is my priority.

JFT 6/1 Sunday ~ Cool day again. Can't wait for summer temps to arrive & hang around a while.

• Church 9:00 😁
• Whitefish & steamed asparagus for supper / limit snacks & sweets / 80 oz. water / log all food / net calories zero
• OT exercises / walk dog
• Help hubby with leaking toilet / make rhubarb crisp (Dad gave me a bunch) / clean/refill both bird baths (darn crow using the back one as his washing/feeding station ACK) / wash towels (don't mind having the dryer on today) / change calendars (yes, I have several non-digital) / 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 after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.

@Kizzy_Ann Welcome! Congratulations on your loss since May! That’s a fantastic start. 🥳👏😁

@beachwalker99 How did your husband’s postop appointments go? Hope you’re feeling better!

@more_freggies76. How was your hiking vacation? I’ll bet it was wonderful. Do you camp when you hike or day hike with a hotel at night? I cannot wait to take a vacation and get out of town for a few days. Hopefully we can take a trip to my dad’s place on the lake sometime this month. Do want to make plans until we know more about his upcoming surgicy schedule.

==============================================

One of our grandsons graduated from high school this weekend so we have been busy. I meant to hop on here, but that obviously didn’t happen. Today is hubby’s birthday and he asked me to not get him a cake this year because he has been trying to cut down on sugar and doesn’t want to have DQ ice cream cake around all week. Seems weird not to get him a cake, but we are going to go out to eat one day this week to celebrate and will order dessert and call it good. When you get to your 60’s and 70’s, how you celebrate birthdays sure does change, doesn’t it? Tonight will be burgers on the grill, Italian pasta salad, chips and a brownie with ice cream for dessert. 🥳🥰

It’s late in the day, so I am going to post tomorrow’s goals now. Hope everyone had a great day! 😎🌷

Still here!

Just been super busy as you can imagine

The funeral was last Wednesday and it was really nice. The UK had the longest run of sun for a fair few years. It didn't rain all through April which is basically when it rains the most! It started raining a few days before the funeral but on the day the sun came out so it was lovely!

I think Ash is coping okay. Well outward appearances seem that way. If I'm honest I think he's struggling to grieve because his dad is taking it very hard.

At the end of the day, it was his wife who died and she was only 59 and he's feeling really really low because he's the one who has to go to an empty house

We're worried about the amount he's drinking, the fact that he's not really cooking for himself (he's buying food) but he's really really miserable. I'm finding it hard to ring his dad because when you ask if he's okay he's basically like "no I'm not okay, everything shi-"

And ash is finding it hard to explain to him that at one point he will be okay and get out the other side but his dad just thinks he'll be miserable forever and if he associates "time healing" with forgetting her, which isn't the case.

Any advice? I don't know what to say or do! Is this normal? And at what point does it go to far?

It's too hard to navigate

The past few days, I get on here but just don't have the will for goals. Things are just so crazy with the parents, and I'm just so darn tired. Went to bed at 9:30 last night and struggled to get out of bed this morning. I had a meeting on site at 7:30am. I got out of bed at 7:05am. I live close, but that was pushing it. I was a few minutes late and I just didn't care. I look like trash. No make up, hair is icky, and I just don't really care. I have a very full day at work, but I'm just not feeling it. I need to buck up and get my mind right.

Second interview tomorrow for the QM job. Need to find some energy for that. EPA, DOJ & WVEP are all going to be on site Thursday for an audit. We do things right here, but those agencies are very strict. Tensions are high.

I guess I start with goals
