I did it.... I really, really finally did it... and can you tell I'm a little excited and extremely happy & proud!?! After many attempts, I returned home from a trip and did not eat my way through the unpacking or transition home. I've been feeling less tempted by sugar in general which after speaking to my health coach, we could only conclude was due to my focus on whole foods; increased veggies, protein and healthy fats; reducing fruit; and eliminating processed foods, added sugar, grains and dairy as much as possible. While I didn't adhere perfectly when I was away and eating every meal out, I did the best I could while also enjoying my time with my Mom, family and friends. Regardless, I'm one happy girl this morning, albeit sleep deprived (more on that later)... happy about how great the trip went and now how great the return home went also!
Sleep! it's been at bay really since the time change when I started waking about 2 hours earlier each day. Then in Cincy, I started waking during the night and usually not falling back to sleep at all or for very long. Last night at home was no different -- to bed at 9, up from 12:30 till 2:30, sleep till 4 and up since feeling anything but well rested, but happy anyway with the mounting successes in my healthy eating and living journey.
Today, I have the dreaded catch up here, but was sure to set up some pampering too and have a facial this afternoon... think I could nap through it? I'm off to spin class shortly -- Weds are a tough interval endurance ride, yikes! -- but will start my day happily 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 through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so grateful for each of terrific you and this wonderful place to always come home too, my family & IRL friends, basking in the success after a long time getting there as well as the fond memories made while in Cincy, and coming home to the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
