TGISun and Operation Weekend Overhaul continues to be successful as I work to eat & live healthfully on the weekend, just as I more easily do weekdays. Today, I'll have even more of an opportunity to use the mindful eating & living skills I'm learning because me who likes to plan and feel in control is again asked to be flexible and go with the flow. DH & I are going for lunch to see good friends from London who we haven't in several years. I'm so looking forward to it as we were very close when we both live in London almost 20 years ago now. DH & our friend worked together there, and have been in charge of the plans, hence the many unknowns. Initially we were to have dinner with them; then they couldn't do dinner, could it be lunch instead? in NYC; then lunch at another of their friend's in Rye, NY; then are we also available after if we can spend some time with just them after (doing what & where, I've no idea); and/or also since DH and their 12-year-old son have stayed quite close, would DH want to take him to spend some time? I'm confused just reiterating it all, of course, as I've heard it from DH. The lesson learned here after last weekend too is to find a way to make the plans with the wife! Anyway, at DH's suggestion (he has gotten so considerate of my needs, for which I'm so grateful), I"m driving separately to have an escape if needed, and especially if it turns out he takes their son to the lake after lunch.
Regardless, I'm determined to stay my course, starting my day at spin class shortly but first 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 of this one weekend, and each one meal, bite, moment, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious & express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of tremendous you, my family & IRL friends, the continued success of my overhaul and knowing that each step in that direction helps me form healthier habits, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

TGISat on Operation Weekend Overhaul. Yesterday brought some restlessness & boredom, although there were plenty of household chores that could have been done, but I worked through the feelings knowing that even though at times they brought on cravings, I wasn't truly hungry and stayed with my healthy eating plan instead. And today, I'm feeling better for it and ready for another weekend day.
While I certainly don't have the symptoms of salmonella, I coincidentally ate from a recalled jar of almond butter last Sunday when my symptoms started -- MaraNatha raw almond butter, in case anyone else eats & purchased some recently. If you go on their website, it lists the recalled jars. My health coach who is a retired nurse says my symptoms sound more like IBS, but I'll need the gastro's exam and possibly tests to see for sure. The symptoms come & go, so I'm hoping for them to be more gone through the weekend -- a girl can hope, right?
I'm off to cardio tennis this morning then to an open house at a memory care residential facility opening nearby in case I choose to move my mom nearby at some point, mass later this afternoon & dinner at our dear friends tonight. So, a full day but with enjoyable activities, which I'll start 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 of this one weekend and each one meal, bite, moment, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious & express my way, I'm so very grateful for each of terrific you, my family & IRL friends, another weekend to fill with healthy choices and fun, and having the health and wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

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;

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

Yes, I am so very fortunate to have the time now to sort through my emotions and forge a new course as my birdies leave the nest and mama bird flies more solo again too. And while I'm sad as the intensive child-rearing ends, it is still a very fun & exciting time with my boys. I still love every minute with them, our now more grown-up conversations and the activities we can do together. And I'm excited to try new things, go new places, meet new people and spend more time with those already in my life. As they say, as one door closes another opens. I'm happy too to finally have the time to get to those projects that being a mommy took priority over -- cleaning out & organizing closets and cabinets, photos, filing & paperwork, house updates, etc. While none of those will give me the joy that my boys did, it will feel good to get to those to-do's that never got to-done. And, yes, I'm also looking forward to having more time to read and reflect, take care of me and do as my little heart desires.
For now, enough of what my future holds, today I've been to early workout and am on to book work and errands this afternoon. 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;

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 & express my way. I've so grateful for each of terrific you, my family & IRL friends, what lies ahead and having the health & wealth to live this life I love today! xoxox

Emotional eating -- has it been there all along?, as my angel pondered too, am I examining these emotions better as I age because I'm getting smarter?, do I just have more emotions to examine and/or more time to do so? I think, for me, like for many things I'm life, its a combination of these all. Going through menopause, becoming an empty nester (even though one has returned to the nest, but more as an adult then a child to be raised), parenting my mom instead of my sons as she progresses with Alzheimer's , etc. has certainly changed the emotions I'm feeling now. As I've said many times, being a mom was the dream career for me, so semi-retiring from that has been hard for me. Just as my therapist had suggested that there may not be an activity that feels as good (short-term) and emotionally releasing for me as eating sugar, there hasn't been an activity or cause or hobby or job that i've felt as passionate about as being a mom. Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in starting over again in terms of child raising, but I may not find something else that I'm as passionate about and that so encompasses me as to on its own put food in its proper place. Thats the why for me that I need to work & focus on doing so for myself.
I certainly don't mean to be gloom & doom at all, as this is truly an exciting, adventurous time. I'm trying new things, going new places and spending time with new people (like all of awesome you)! And as I've done with my eating, I'm seeing what works for me, what I want to do more of and letting go of the rest. So, it's a really exciting time too with much self-reflection and major life & relationship improvements with my DH and others.
So, I'm off now to some of those things I truly love (like all of you) now -- praying followed by a good workout --
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, log, stay curious & express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so grateful for each of brilliant you, my family & IRL friends, more beautiful weather on the east coast, & having the health & wealth to explore and live this life I love! xoxox
