Ruhu's Journal, 02 October 2014

You all are just so, so, so awesome! And again I am dumbstruck at the outpouring of love & support you give me & so many here. I am truly blessed to have this special place and each of you… thanks for the kind remarks yesterday and for being you!

So, I'm formulating my next experiment with a nickname something along the lines of Operation No More Tripping Up for when I return from a trip. My health coach & I brainstormed some ideas for what to try next as I am determined to change that long-standing habit of snacking when returning home from a trip, which begins as I unpack my suitcase and ends with whatever sweet treats I have on hand. So, stay tuned as the lab coat re-emerges. I leave again a week from tomorrow, so have ample time to construct the next plan, and several more trips coming on which to progress (not perfect) it.

I again slept extremely well last night -- 8 hours -- and woke just in time to get my butt up and off to my 7 am HIIT workout. I'm still playing catch up here, but will squeeze in a mani/pedi this afternoon. So, off I'll go, but not without starting 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 & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of amazing you, my family & IRL friends, feeling great and so well rested again and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

I experienced the same pattern when I came home from my travels. I did really well while I was away but the minute I stepped off the plane it was over. I love your approach and hope to see you successfully put it into practice soon.

Yeah that's a big problem for me too, after I come back from a trip I take an extended vacation from eating healthy. I haven't had a vacation since I started fat secret so hopefully tracking my calories will help.

I wonder if your return home is akin to my 'temper'. People IRL comment on how easy going I am; the reality is I am (Taurus) but then I'll get bent out of shape over something so minor it seems crazy and I think it's from having such a tight grip the rest of the time. any thoughts?

You will be just fine Ru! You have such insight to your everyday life. I know it's not always easy, but you are a winner!

Looking at the snacks you log at FatSecret, they are usually veggies, fruits or nuts. Maybe the snacking on sweets when you get home and unpack your suitcase is a way to comfort yourself or reduce stress. You feel that as soon as you unpack your suitcase, the trip is over and you must get back to healthy eating. Ruhu, you are below your goal weight, don't be hard on yourself.
