Home Sweet Home! Had a wonderful trip; stayed my course sugar, dairy & wheat free; and enjoyed my time with my SILs, MIL (most of the time;), friend & her Mom. But, still struggled coming home to my empty house (hubby is away again this week). I've been reading about eating mindfully & much of it has been really helpful, especially while traveling, eating out & not able to measure, count or even know every calorie. While I don't agree with everything in the book nor plan to even try it all, much of it makes great sense to me & I've been feeling great not only about what I'm eating, but how much & how I feel after eating. Had the blip on the day of my return on Tues, even with the best of plans, but wasn't able to mindfully eat a real lunch, started snacking & it was a grazing day after that. While I'm thrilled it didn't turn into a sugar feast, I realize I'm just substituting healthier items, i.e. fruit, nuts, unsweetened dried fruits/coconut. So, before my next trip (to see my Mom on 2/15), I need to better prepare for that return day coming home on 2/20, & not let myself get behind & rushed, i.e. not enough praying, breathing, logging, posting & expressing, which I need more than ever on those return days.
But I'm back on track now & was pleasantly surprised that I didn't gain any weight. And, today I start 3 days of adding back wheat to my diet & will have steel cut oats this morning to do so -- the lab rat is back on the job! Will be publishing my unscientific results this week.
And, I've been missing my FS friends! Hope you are all doing well & to catch up later today or tomorrow. Sounds like I'm in for a blizzard, so should have plenty of catch up time over the next few days. So, I am starting my day in prayer --
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.
And will be praying, breathing, logging, posting & expressing (which I'm now realizing how far I'd gotten away from while I was traveling) again for this one day, meal, moment, bite & emotion at a time. As they say, there's no place like home... & I never feel more at home than here with my FSers! xoxox
