Ruhu's Journal, 03 September 2014

A good night's sleep does wonders again, and I'm feeling great. And, I so appreciate your love & support as I work through those transitional evenings where I want to overeat. I have a phone appt with my health coach today and I want to brainstorm with her about what else I can do to change that habit. I'm thinking that I need a new healthy habit to replace it with, but know that by the end of the weekend or a trip, I'm tired. I wish I was a bath taker, but I'm just not, so I'm thinking I need to retire right after dinner to the bedroom to read or watch a movie, and go to sleep extra early if thats what it takes to keep me out of the kitchen. I'm curious if she has any other ideas or thoughts. But, I'm not giving up, and will continue to work to build my healthy eating & living highway, mindfully, one day at a time, filling in those potholes on evenings transitioning from weekend to weekday, or from traveling to home.

This morning I'm off to spin class, and have errands and book work to fill the time after plus my phone appt. So, 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 I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious and express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion. As the serenity prayer says, I accept the hardship of my disordered eating as a pathway to peace, and I'm grateful He is guiding me on my way. Plus, I'm grateful for each of awesome and ever-supportive you, my family & IRL friends, a continuing motivation to make progress on my transitional evenings, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

I am a sugar lover as well, and addicted to snacking. My saviour was air-popped corn while watching TV series or movies online. Baby cucumbers are also great to stuff yourself with. To satisfy the sweet tooth, cinnamon is very efficient, yummy on thin slices of Granny Smith apples, minimal calories. A teaspoonfull apple cider vinegar in one glass of water with ice is a good appetite killer as well...
