It's been a good weekend & I'm continuing to live and learn along the way/weigh! DH & I went out to dinner after mass yesterday & had a great conversation about his unannounced arrival home from work. As many of you, so wisely & helpfully suspected, he was trying to be funny & really didn't think it was any big deal to come home early. And, I think he was a bit hopeful/disappointed that I wasn't happy to see him. (I'll have to work on that, even if it means faking it until I feel it - LOL! My weekday routine is sacred to me, but an area of my rigidity that I am working on.) He is appreciative of all I do, but a bit envious of the free time I have too as he still works such long hours & travels, and is ready to retire which he should be able to do in the next 5-6 years at the latest. It was a great conversation & again we're closer because of it.
Even though I stayed my course gluten, lactose & sugar free, I overate again on Fri night finding myself home alone as DS was out with friends & DH stuck in Chicago much later than planned. I'm finding I'm overeating at some point most weekends, which is a pattern I want to look at with curiosity, as I don't want this habit to continue. This time in hindsight, I'm realizing that I let myself get too hungry earlier in the day, then had a less than satisfying dinner -- soup that didn't taste that good, which I should have just thrown away rather than eat anyway & want something more, which lead to more than I needed. So, for my future weekend opportunities, I'm thinking in addition to staying curious, I'll try to keep an awareness journal -- we received various types on the retreat to identify what's going on with the weekend overeating. I also realize its been a way of eating for a very long time & the habit alone will take time to re-wire. Even in my youth, I remember restricting my diet during the week, so I could splurge more on the weekends. Again, my goal is to just find a better balance there… a smaller arc as mindful eating refers to it. Progress, right?
I'm off to workout soon (HIIT again) & DH is joining me, then dinner tonight with a few girlfriends for a birthday which I'm really looking forward to as these are some friends I enjoy being with. 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, for this one day, and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal & express my way. I'm so grateful for each of extra special you, my family & IRL friends, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
