TGIF! While I'm not physically feeling great, I'm feeling mentally & emotionally ready to embark on another Operation Weekend Overhaul. I felt so great as I ate & lived healthfully last weekend while enjoying the time away from the routine of the week that I love. And I plan to work to repeat that this weekend, one day or activity or meal or bite at a time, focusing on planning what I'll eat as much as I can while leaving room for the unexpected and staying curious as emotions arise that may bring on cravings.
I'm a bit surprised though that as I've even eating more healthfully and with less extremes between my weekdays and weekend, that I'm having digestive issues (TMI -- constipation, bloating, etc) and a recurrence of acid reflux. It started last Sunday and bothered me on & off through Tues, then got better and now started again last night. I made appts next week with a gastro dr (who I'd seen for a colonoscopy almost 5 years ago) and the naturopath who is filing in for my regular one who is on maternity leave. Hopefully between the two, we'll find out whats up… beside my weight, which may be tied to the gut issues or a result of the traveling, emotional eating, etc. While I'm not happy about the gain, I know with my disordered eating past, eating healthfully & mindfully weekdays & weekends is much, much more important and that the weight will go to where its meant to be.
I'm off to spin class this morning and my doggie and I are having our nails done too -- she at her spa this morning & I at mine this afternoon. DH & I have dinner out at our good friends tomorrow night and lunch on Sunday with friends we haven't seen in a long while, back from when we lived in London, who I also love to be with. But before I get on with my day and the start of a fun-filled, healthy weekend, 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 through this one day and each one meal, bite, thought and emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, log, stay curious & express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of darling you, my family & IRL friends, the opportunity to own another Operation Weekend Overhaul ahead, spa days (mine & my doggie's), and having the health and wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
