Ruhu's Journal, 16 October 2013

Woke up this morning & decided to do my second IF fast day today even though I thought I'd do it Thurs. I have a busier day today & am not feeling hungry for breakfast, so today it is. I have a workout (I share an hour with a personal trainer with a friend once/week. It's not a tough workout, some weights & some Pilates, but a good way to stay in touch with this friend who used to be my tennis partner years ago, but she doesn't play much anymore & I wouldn't see her much otherwise.), then tennis, and a massage & phone appointment with my health coach this afternoon. So, not much time to think about not eating much today.

As I've already said, I'm liking this IF 5:2 WOE for now. The fasting days of 500 calories free me from thinking about what/how much to eat, and allow me some extra calories on the other days so I can just focus on staying gluten, lactose & sugar aware as I eat mindfully. So, for now, I'll keep building my healthy eating & living road in that direction.

But before I pave another inch, 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.

I'm grateful today as always for each of you, my family & IRL friends, to be following a WOE that feels right for me for now, and to have the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Sounds like a fun day, and a good way to keep the calories in check. Enjoy your busy day, lots of good things in it.

Enjoy your day. Busy days help to keep you moving and not eating. Sounds like a fun day though, I always feel better after a visit with a friend.

Definitely - if you don't feel hungry, don't eat. Good for you on being flexible and listening to your body :-)
