As I mentioned in yesterday's journal, I am taking note of how much I compare myself to others & am surprised to see that at least when working out, it wasn't as much as I thought. But, I certainly am quite critical of myself in that darn mirror. So, I'm focusing on neutralizing those thoughts, and sending myself positive, self-caring messages instead. As the therapist suggested, I'm trying to talk to myself as I would my boys, or any of you, or really anyone else. I know I'm not alone in treating others much kinder than I do myself. So, I'm now taking notice of that & working on it.
Of course I have to mention & am happy to have lost a little at today's weigh in, but I'm again reminding myself that its still just a number & I'm so much more than that. But just as that tennis win boosts my spirits, so does a loss on the scale.
I've been to my early workout, am having coffee with a friend this afternoon (rescheduled from last week because of snow), a phone call with my health coach & was invited to dinner tonight with DS & his girlfriend… another good day for this lucky gal! When DS invited me last night (DH is out of town until tomo), I was thrilled & would go anywhere/do anything to spend more time with him & his girl, but I also thought of how eating out can be a trigger for me. So I'll use this as another opportunity to eat mindfully & practice taking care of me. I'm trying to build a new habit upon returning home from eating out -- one that worked so well while I was away visiting my Mom -- coming home to fresh berries & a cup of tea, and going right on to bed to either watch tv or read. So, yes, even as great of a day asit is & will continue to be, it is still one that needs time for 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'll continue praying, breathing, logging, journaling, & expressing my way on this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion along the way. I continue to be so very grateful for each of amazing you, my family & IRL friends, only a little snow in the northeast & warming temps (but my heart goes out to those in the south struggling with the weather), and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
