Staying curious through some recurring nausea these last few days. I'm always thinking its related to what I'm eating, but who knows for sure. I keep monitoring and am including it as a missing puzzle piece. Yesterday, my curiosity noticed I felt less energetic at my workout, more tired throughout the day and hungrier (true hunger or fatigue disguised as hunger?), with 2 bouts of nausea.
Mom's move went well and her social worker said she was a real trooper. While most was finished, there are still pics to be hung and some items didn't fit, which I'll help to decide how to re-arrange or get rid of when I'm there next week. Mom seemed good when I spoke with her, but was having trouble hearing me on the phone, so I have have to figure out if its the phone, or her hearing. But, no panic calls nor calls to lifeline, so I know all is good... or good enough! Thanks again for your support through those difficult times with Mom's progression.
I'm off to early workout, then more book/house/computer work this afternoon. But 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, log, journal, stay curious & express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so truly grateful for each of you who continue to amaze me with your never-ending love & support, my family & IRL friends, serenity, puzzle solving, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Staying curious and non-judgemental is my goal as I approach another weekend of opportunity followed by a trip to see my Mom. In fact, I've started a notebook page to record what i observe... which of course, you'll hear about here too... I just have to jot in down right away before it leaves this scattered mind!
Some things I've noticed so far are --
My weight is staying under my goal, even with some overeating on the weekends.
Since eating more whole foods in a Dr Hyman type-of-way (mostly grain, dairy, sugar & caffeine free), I don't have the sugar cravings as much as a craving for nuts, seeds & nut butters.
I have more energy at my workouts and tennis.
In addition to the many things I have to be grateful for, I'm feeling so supported here as they move my Mom today and I plan my trip to see her later next week. Her Alzheimer's is obviously progressing and this move could set her back even more, but I know it's for her safety and to get her all the help she needs. I can't say enough how your love & support here helps!
I'm off to spin class this morning and work after... and to be my doggie's taxi service to/from her spa appt! But 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.

and supremely happy with Him

I'm so grateful for ever-supportive you, my family & IRL friends, nonjudgmental curiosity, finding those missing pieces to this healthy eating & living life puzzle, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

My weekends are providing much opportunity for growth as I work to stay curious through them and figure out the when and why's of my desire to eat when I'm not truly hungry. This past weekend, it came to light that it's more likely when I'm alone, that I may feel left out or left behind, even when the choice has been mine to not go out. Friday night DH decided last minute to go watch the last half of the local high school football game. I truly ddi not want to go (been there, done that as my boys both played and I'd spent much loved time then at the football field, but had no desire at 9 pm to get dressed again to go out). But, I wanted to eat after he left. The same happened on Sun evening when he had work to do and spent much of the evening in his office. It was interesting to me to realize that while I love my time to myself during the week, and rarely if ever want to eat when I'm on my own on week nights, on weekend evenings, even when it's my choice, food calls. So, I must start to keep that in mind as we make weekend plans and even as the unplanned becomes planned. DH and I do and will go our separate ways sometimes on the weekends, even as we've been better at planning them together. In fact, it made me smile this past weekend, when his great aunt & uncle were in town, that he was getting frustrated when he couldn't reach them to find out when we could see them! He wanted to plan!
We had a wonderful time at the black tie charity dinner-dance on Sat night, and stayed until the end at midnight, truly dancing the night away. It also made me realize that dancing, similar to having the biking on the bike trips we've taken with other couples, makes the evening fun and go by quickly. And, for me, the too much small talk making was not an issue. I also felt so reassured from the comments on my journal about it, that I'm not the only one who gets to a point when socializing, when I've had enough and want to go. DH just doesn't seem to reach that point... ever that I've witnessed! But we did speak about it beforehand... in fact, I brought it up and asked him to just be open-minded to not having to stay until the very end... he of course countered for me to do the same.. and we both agreed, as well as to driving our own car (3 couples from our neighborhood also went) so that we/I could leave when ready.
So, again some success this past weekend with again some less than optimal choices, and much learning. Staying curious but nonjudgmental is proving to be a good thing for me, as is staying connected here. Mom's being moved tomorrow so thats taking quite a bit of my time to help coordinate long distance, but I'm hopeful to spend more time here again after that happens. Then, I go out there for a wedding and to see how she's doing next Thurs. But for this one day, I'm off to paddle tennis and then up to work, but first will 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;

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 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 amazing you and our wonderful and safe place here on FS, my family & IRL friends, learning the lessons along the twists and turns of this journey, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Another weekend of opportunity, which I'm looking at that way (thanks Angel for all the reminders to stay positive!) to especially stay curious about the whens of my wanting to overeat in hopes of it shedding light on the whys, and leading to the what I can do about it!
Today I have lunch with the outdoor tennis girls that I like, but in small doses. I haven't seen much of them, so I'm looking forward to it! And, DH and I have a black tie charity dinner dance tomorrow night. I phoned ahead with my special dinner request (gluten & dairy free) and am hoping DH and I can compromise if I want to leave before he's ready. It goes til midnight, which is later that I usually prefer, but I'm keeping an open mind as the dancing reduces the amount of the endless small talk that can eventually get to me. And, no other plans for the weekend, other than having my hair done for the occasion on Sat afternoon, so I can take care of me. I'm realizing though that I need to figure out how best to do that for me.
Now I'm off to spin class shortly, but will first 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.

And I'll pray, breathe, stay curious, log, journal & express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so grateful for each of tremendous you, my family & IRL friends, another weekend to appreciate & explore, a focus on just staying curious, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

I've been writing this journal in my head for 2 days now, and finally am getting my fingers on the keyboard! Have to start by saying how grateful I am, as always, that I have this wonderful, supportive, safe place here for me, even after an absence of a few or more days! Thank you!
I took a nosedive into sugar last weekend.. could it have been that jinx, Angel, that I spoke of as why I was reluctant to post a weight loss, or self-sabotage? It wasn't an overly stressful weekend, although my Mom continues to need more regular assistance & will be moved to a new room next week where she can be more closely watched & helped when needed. This has required me to sort out buying her a much needed new bed, dorm size fridge & stand, and having her utilities & cable moved. And while I'm less anxious about the weekends and DH has come a long way as we better plan our weekends together, I still feel there's something missing there. Of course, it didn't help that I barely slept on Sat night. Regardless, I'm likening it to a puzzle and while I've filled in many pieces, there are still some that elude me. But, I'm optimistic that even the missteps are clues to where/how those pieces fit.
Luckily, I was right back on Monday to the foods that best agree with me -- eating whole foods and staying away from gluten, dairy & sugar. So, I'm feeling good again, a bit puzzled, but ready to continue puzzle solving after I 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 can't say enough how grateful I am for all of wonderful you, my family & IRL friends, how great it feels to eat & live in the best possible ways for me, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
