Just 4 Today (Sunday, the end of May)
Just 4 Today....
Just 4 Today I’m going to weigh myself (!!), walk 5 miles (in at least 3 walks), log everything I eat in my Nutribase database, and I’ll drink 2 liters of water & drink my fiber supplement.
!! I actually remembered to weigh myself before I did anything else.
What are YOU going to do today?

I didn’t do so well yesterday & forgot sometime in the late afternoon about the logging part. Also, I forgot to weigh myself first thing yesterday AND today…. I can’t decide if I should do it now that I’ve already had breakfast?

Friday, The power of personal commitments
I struggled with my weight and health for years before I found a trick to make managing both pretty easy & fun. The trick was making my Just 4 Today pledge at the start of each day and writing an essay about some aspect of making a commitment real.
And it worked for years.
The inverse of that trick also works — if you don’t touch base with that commitment (saying it’s just today) that commitment loses power. And pieces of it flicker out and away. . . . It’s not like the world comes to an end. Actually, everything seems just a little easier – after all for me, I wasn’t having to get up at the crack of dawn to write a post read by maybe 50 or 60 people. It was a relief really. Really. Or not.
Well, things are changing (this a promise to both of us) :
- Just 4 Today posted (check)
- Coffee drunk & Breakfast eaten (check)
- Medication & Supplements taken (check)
- Spending time thinking about the power of dreams & plans (check)
…. Well, alrighty then! Let’s go.
