I've been writing this journal in my head for 2 days now, and finally am getting my fingers on the keyboard! Have to start by saying how grateful I am, as always, that I have this wonderful, supportive, safe place here for me, even after an absence of a few or more days! Thank you!
I took a nosedive into sugar last weekend.. could it have been that jinx, Angel, that I spoke of as why I was reluctant to post a weight loss, or self-sabotage? It wasn't an overly stressful weekend, although my Mom continues to need more regular assistance & will be moved to a new room next week where she can be more closely watched & helped when needed. This has required me to sort out buying her a much needed new bed, dorm size fridge & stand, and having her utilities & cable moved. And while I'm less anxious about the weekends and DH has come a long way as we better plan our weekends together, I still feel there's something missing there. Of course, it didn't help that I barely slept on Sat night. Regardless, I'm likening it to a puzzle and while I've filled in many pieces, there are still some that elude me. But, I'm optimistic that even the missteps are clues to where/how those pieces fit.
Luckily, I was right back on Monday to the foods that best agree with me -- eating whole foods and staying away from gluten, dairy & sugar. So, I'm feeling good again, a bit puzzled, but ready to continue puzzle solving after I 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 through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious and express my way. I can't say enough how grateful I am for all of wonderful you, my family & IRL friends, how great it feels to eat & live in the best possible ways for me, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
