Hoping this link works... even though its being linked by technologically challenged me! I can't wait to see the entire movie as the trailer alone confirms what I've been reading more & more about regarding the negative effect that sugar has in the quantities that many now eat it. And, as you'll see in the trailer, even in healthier processed foods... which I now realize may not exist!

I'm feeling great as the weekend looms and ready to tackle another opportunity to eat well and take care of myself as I enjoy my weekend and family. And I'm feeling especially great that DS returns and will be here for the entire week of Thanksgiving. He flies in tomorrow, but will go right into NYC to see his GF, then come home on Sun. Family dinner Sun night -- yeah! And a great big gear hug upon his arrival -- the icing on the cake (that I no longer eat, which the link reaffirmed why!). I've been staying away from sugar, grain, & dairy for quite awhile now, although overeating nuts, dried fruit and dark chocolate at times. But I'm figuring out the whys and happily looking forward to the weekend and holiday week ahead. The holidays have been an eating struggle in the past, but I'm planning for & working toward them staying that way... in the past. My health coach suggested I write a Thanksgiving Vision of how I'd like the holiday ahead to go. I did that and will re-read it each day, reminding myself that nothing tastes as good as healthy feels, and that for me, that one bite of sugar is too much as the 100 it can turn into is still not enough.
So, TGIF it is and Happy Holidays ahead! Ahead today is tennis and a haircut & color, 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, journal, stay curious and express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion. I'm so grateful for each of wonderful and supportive you, my family & IRL friends, the weekend and holiday ahead with family & friends, positive outlooks and visions, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
