We seem to be forming a nice NWN (No Weigh Nov) team, so pack away that scale and let's get on with focusing on eating & living happily and healthier, and hopefully learning better where the scale fits in for each of us. I'm hopeful that without the resulting mood swings from that scale number, I'll be better able to use this time to make progress on my eating swings from those moods. Yes, I'm at it again, fully dressed in my lab coat, and once more try, trying again!
I'm off to Cincy tomo, so will check in from there when I can, but will know I have the love and support of so many here through the highs and lows that this regular visit brings. I have the wedding of my close friend's son's on Fri, time alone with my Mom and with other family planned throughout the 6 days there, as well as, more time for me with my friends. And, we have Mom's new apartment to put the finishing touches on... I'm hopeful it's only finishing that it needs! Mom seems to be doing ok with the move, but I'll feel much better seeing for myself.
Today, I'm off to 8:45 spin class, then errands and home to prep and pack for the trip. Of course, first, 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 I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious and express my way through this one day, meal, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of wonderful you, my family & IRL friends, another trip to Cincy and to see my loved ones there, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! I'll be thinking of you all and wishing you the best until I'm here again! xoxox

So, No Weigh November (NWN), it is for me! And I'm thrilled some of you are joining me! Already bypassing the scale this morning was tough, but I did have a sense of how freeing this could be. I've been so all about that number for so long, even while I tell myself and write in this journal that I and all of us are so much more than that any number that scale shouts at us. So, this will be my chance to truly live it... one day at a time!
I've noticed more than once upon jumping on that scale that how I feel in my body sometimes is right on track with what the scale shows, but other times not at all. Hopefully, this month scale-free, will get how I feel better in alignment with what is truly just a mathematical calculation. I'm hoping the NWN, will be a Yes Way Nov to feeling better about this body and more in tune with how my eating and living choices effect me in so many more ways than just that number on the scale.
Of course, it's always Yes Way to start the day in prayer. I'm off to paddle tennis shortly then up to work for the afternoon.
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 scale-free day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so grateful for each of ever-supportive you, my family & IRL friends, the realization that my choices and ways of thinking impact every area of my life including those that aren't working as well as I'd like, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

No Weigh November?!? I'm not sure how wide-spread it is, but my sons for the last few years have not shaved for the month of Nov, calling it No Shave November. I'm thinking of not weighing myself for the month and know there was a challenge here on FS not long ago to not get on the scale for a month. I'm curious, for any who have done that, if there was a benefit?
Not weighing myself for that long is a really scary thought. I'd been trying to only weigh once/week, but recently have been doing so much more often. And, I'm finding that my mood swings based on that number. Plus, I think, if the number is down, I allow myself to eat more, and when the number goes back up, I can over-restrict. So, should this ever-experimenting lab rat, give No Weigh November a try?!?
While staying curious yesterday didn't stop me from over-eating all day, I did realize that during the day, I really wanted to eat if I didn't keep busy and as what I was doing got boring or tedious. I worked much of the afternoon on my closet & made a huge dent in it, but needed regular breaks and it was a struggle to resist wanting to go eat instead. So, for tedious jobs, I may need to try doing them in smaller chunks breaking up the time with more pleasurable non-eating activities. Then last night after a nice dinner out with DH & DS, I wanted something sweet. It is a long-standing habit of mine to eat sweets after Sunday dinner... and I'm talking 30+ years worth. One of the ways I've managed my weight and sugar addiction on & off over the years was to restrict/abstain all week and enjoy sweet(s) on Sunday evening. So, that's still my work in progress... stay tuned.
Today my work in progress has been a HIIT workout class this morning and health coach appt this afternoon, plus housework in between, and possibly a pre-travel manicure -- I leave for Cincy on Thurs. But before I get farther into my day, I'll pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;

And through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of terrific you, my family & IRL friends, Mondays and the return to routine, knowing this is a journey and to enjoy the ride along the way rather than just focus on the destination, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed both parties last night and as I predicted, I was just reaching small talk overload when it was time to go to the next and then leave that party for home. I am tired and sluggish though this morning, so will be on high alert for the fatigue trying to convince me it's hunger. I did have to chuckle to myself as we entered the second party which was a costume Halloween party (the first was a more dressy 50th birthday party) that our costumes were DH as a Party Animal and me as the Party Pooper!
Luckily today I have a low-key day with some book work and the hope to begin the de-cluttering of my closet. But, I'll be sure to nap as much and as often as I'd like, and take it as slow as needed. DH is off to Japan for the week and leaves tomorrow, then I go to see my Mom and attend my good friend's son's wedding in Cincy on Thurs. We're having dinner out tonight with DS before the traveling begins. And I'm off to zumba shortly if I can get my tired self up and moving! But first, I'll start on day in prayer --

I'm so grateful for each of wonderful you, my family & IRL friends, having fun at parties even as exhausting as they can be, another opportunity to recognize fatigue for what it is and what it's needing from me, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love. xoxox
P.S. In my Angel's style, here are 2 quotes that I read this morning that really spoke to me... maybe they will to you too!
Moving forward away from your comfort zone may feel temporarily uncomfortable, but it feels a lot better than standing still in a place that no longer suits you.
"A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on her own wings. Always believe in yourself." ~unknown

Another weekend of opportunity, a new month and a time change tonight -- could it be a good omen of good changes ahead... (the opposite of our jinx, Angel?)... I'm looking at it that way, wanna join me?!?
I'm feeling better and the nausea has left, but I'll continue to monitor it, and see if I can pinpoint any potential aggravators. Hope Halloween was all treat and no trick for all who celebrate! I, for possibly the first Halloween in awhile, had no craving for candy and instead had an extra serving of nuts which was satisfying and all I needed. This whole foods WOE staying grains, dairy & sugar aware dose really agree with me. The question is if it is easy enough to mange and maintain over the long haul. But, what I'm realizing is that staying curious through it and allowing those not so healthy for me items with awareness if I choose is the key.
DH and I are off to 2 parties tonight. I agreed to go to both and he agreed to be on the way home by 11:30... before the time change.. which I was sure we agreed on to not later get into a battle over! I'm thinking that going to both parties will at least give me more people to spread out the small talk with! I know I've journaled here about it, and was so supported as I'm not alone in my ability to only make small talk at social events for so long before I want to pull my hair out and head for the hills! Since both parties are about 30 minutes away, I didn't want to take my own car, but I did download the Uber app on my phone and checked that service was available to get me home if I reached small talk overload!
I'm off to spin class shortly, have book & house work after then mass and party time! But first, of course, 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.

I'm so very grateful for each of awesome you, my family & IRL friends, a weekend of change and the potential ahead, feeling good, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
