Ruhu's Journal, 29 October 2014

Staying curious and non-judgemental is my goal as I approach another weekend of opportunity followed by a trip to see my Mom. In fact, I've started a notebook page to record what i observe... which of course, you'll hear about here too... I just have to jot in down right away before it leaves this scattered mind!

Some things I've noticed so far are --
My weight is staying under my goal, even with some overeating on the weekends.
Since eating more whole foods in a Dr Hyman type-of-way (mostly grain, dairy, sugar & caffeine free), I don't have the sugar cravings as much as a craving for nuts, seeds & nut butters.
I have more energy at my workouts and tennis.

In addition to the many things I have to be grateful for, I'm feeling so supported here as they move my Mom today and I plan my trip to see her later next week. Her Alzheimer's is obviously progressing and this move could set her back even more, but I know it's for her safety and to get her all the help she needs. I can't say enough how your love & support here helps!

I'm off to spin class this morning and work after... and to be my doggie's taxi service to/from her spa appt! But first, 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 I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious & express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so grateful for ever-supportive you, my family & IRL friends, nonjudgmental curiosity, finding those missing pieces to this healthy eating & living life puzzle, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Saying a prayer for you. I've had several relatives with Alzheimer's, it's such a terrible thing. It's good that you're handling it with a positive attitude, keep that up.

Ruhu. I moved my dad in July. The change in location actually saw him spring back. I didn't let him take part in the move. Hoping the best for you.

I repeated your prayer twice today - the first part anyway. Thinking of you Angel.

I hope your mom is doing well and I hope that you are doing well too. I can only imagine how tough it is for you and you have been a trooper for so long. I hope your spin class was fun and awesome staying below your goal. Thanks for being so supportive of me. I truly appreciate it. Hugs to you!!
