TGIF! Yes, it is still a bit forced as I love my weekday routine, but I'm truly feeling it more & more with each passing weekend and the progress I'm making navigating them healthfully & mindfully. This weekend is wide open & while as of now our only plans are to do lunch or dinner with MIL on Sunday, I know that since DH just got home late last night, things could change. But my mindful self, is keeping an open mind & reminding myself to be open to any suggestions he has. My suggestion will be mass & date night after on Saturday. I'll keep you posted.
Otherwise, all is good, I'm feeling great and committed to my 5P's (Pause, Plate, Progress not Perfection & Prayer) and 3C's (Curious, Calm & in Charge) as the weekend begins and I work my way to & through Transition Sunday. Eating gluten, lactose & sugar aware in a 16:8 window when I can do so mindfully is working for me. Although it has certain inherent restrictions, eating this way gives me the freedom to eat what I love that loves me back, i.e. eating what I need. Luckily for my taste preferences, there are many delicious choices within these parameters for me to choose from, so I can truly eat what I love. And by focusing on what I can eat instead of what doesn't agree with my body, I don't feel deprived, but instead fortunate that I've figured out (as you all well know, this lab rat has been experimenting for quite some time) what makes me feel best, sleep best & have the best energy.
This morning I have some errands & tennis, then a haircut this afternoon. Bookkeeping will fill the rest of the day as I finalize year-ends for the 3 business I book for. It's still freaking cold here, but slowly warming through the weekend, although I'm hearing we could get snow again next week -- WTF!?! I'll worry about that tomorrow, and instead today I'll pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And through this one day & each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal & express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of phenomenal you, my family & IRL friends, warming temps & hopefully spring around the corner, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
