Yesterday's rant again diffused the situation:). I'm finally learning that journaling or otherwise expressing the emotion, frustration, etc. really helps! I also spoke with a neighbor & friend who is helping me coordinate activities for while our guests are here to keep them busy, make them feel welcome & honor the memory of their son. Next Monday, while they're with us, would have been his birthday -- 54th, I think.
Working out this morning, and mani/pedi this afternoon with some housework mixed in between... hopefully. I waited to today to weigh in as I've been feeling a bit bloated. I'm still trialing this not logging my food thing, but feeling a bit concerned that I'm overdoing it a bit on the weekends. So, I may try logging weekends only for now til I feel more confident on those days. I'm feeling good about my current eating plan & staying gluten, lactose & sugar aware. Now, instead of staying free of all those, I'm staying aware & allowing myself some in small amounts if I so desire. One wiser than me suggested that I start to take sugar off the pedestal I'd placed it to see if that helped take away the inevitable urge to binge/overeat it. So far, so good... so that's my story for now & I'm sticking to it.
I'm also sticking to my daily start to 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.
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 I will pray, breathe, post & express my way through this one day and each one meal, bite, moment & emotion while remembering all the blessings in my life! xoxox
