Ruhu's Journal, 23 August 2014

TGISat on Operation Weekend Overhaul. Yesterday brought some restlessness & boredom, although there were plenty of household chores that could have been done, but I worked through the feelings knowing that even though at times they brought on cravings, I wasn't truly hungry and stayed with my healthy eating plan instead. And today, I'm feeling better for it and ready for another weekend day.

While I certainly don't have the symptoms of salmonella, I coincidentally ate from a recalled jar of almond butter last Sunday when my symptoms started -- MaraNatha raw almond butter, in case anyone else eats & purchased some recently. If you go on their website, it lists the recalled jars. My health coach who is a retired nurse says my symptoms sound more like IBS, but I'll need the gastro's exam and possibly tests to see for sure. The symptoms come & go, so I'm hoping for them to be more gone through the weekend -- a girl can hope, right?

I'm off to cardio tennis this morning then to an open house at a memory care residential facility opening nearby in case I choose to move my mom nearby at some point, mass later this afternoon & dinner at our dear friends tonight. So, a full day but with enjoyable activities, which 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.

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 day of this one weekend and each one meal, bite, moment, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious & express my way, I'm so very grateful for each of terrific you, my family & IRL friends, another weekend to fill with healthy choices and fun, and having the health and wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Just a thought - DH used to love peanuts but his body changed and he can no longer eat them. Maybe if you cut back to a very simple diet, then added foods back one at a time you might come up with the culprit. And it would save you from going through all those unpleasant tests.

Busy Saturday. For some reason I like the idea of you moving Mom closer. You'd be able to visit her without the stress of travel. Have a wonderful day, Angel.

You got through the cravings and were able to look back at it. I look back at my inability to not resist temptation. Hmmmmm.

Glad you didn't get salmonella poisoning. There are a slew of butters that have been recalled. Good idea for everyone to check the list. Our TV station has posted it on their website, from what they said. Moving mom closer will help you and her I'm sure. Was thankful my mom had moved here instead of living alone in Florida.
