Finally plowed & able to get out again! Plow came yesterday at 11... I was out the door to church at 11:40... so happy to be free again & how appropriate to end the sequestering in prayer which is what got me through it! But it was, in many ways, a fun winter weekend, got out x-country skiing yesterday which was wonderful & went out to dinner with DH last night to celebrate Valentines Day as I leave again Fri to go back "home" to see my Mom. As usual, even as empty nesters, it seems there's never a dull moment here.
Feeling good & will try barley soup for my 3rd & final day adding back wheat. Although, going against all proper research techniques, I've already basically concluded that wheat just isn't so good for this old gal. Next test will be to try lactose free dairy, so this lab rat isn't unemployed yet!
And for the finale, & biggest news of the day (at least in my always crazy & recovering stir crazed mind) -- today marks 5 weeks off sugar:)! Throughout the holidays (which spanned for me from Thanksgiving until my birthday on Jan 7 when I started a 5-day cleanse), as I overate, binged, craved & obsessed about eating/not eating/forms of sugar, I would not have imagined I could eat (or live!) for 5 weeks or 5 days or 5 minutes sometimes without sugar. But, here I am, & feeling better than ever! While speaking with my health coach on Fri, I/we certainly couldn't pinpoint what changed -- the cleanse, adding supplements thought to reduce cravings, praying again & re-connecting with my Catholic roots, listening daily to meditation/hypnosis tapes, working with a health coach. But what I know was most crucial -- all of you & the amazing, never-ending support you have all given me! Don't know what I'd do without you all & can't thank you enough!
So, of course, again today I'll start 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 I'll pray, breathe, log, post & express for this one day, meal, moment, bite & emotion at a time as I rejoice in my sugar free life with my wonderful FS friends! xoxox
