Wow...what a difference a day makes. Out the door I floated from a serene Sunday and landed with a thud in the middle of Monday mania...always a shock after a calming break. However, the good news was that I hopped happily on the scale after a week of good behavior and lo and behold...wonderful success! I guess what you eat does matter after all. I did not count calories this past week because I was home...impossible! However, with Lent came the elimination of all sugars, chips and alcohol...am given to a snip of wine in the evenings when it is cold...however, no more. It really paid off. I fairly danced to work.
Personal interactions demand a lot of energy and I am often tempted to "strength snack" throughout the day. Since I have focused more on protein, I find I do not need to eat as much. With a carefully scribed letter, I resolved a difficult relationship this morning and let go of a stress which has been lingering heavily for the past several months. I gave time to a friend in need who expressed great anxiety over personal difficulties. I gave all I could to my students (and there was a lot of drama there!)...and I checked in with a good friend, with whom I have not spoken for a number of days. We planned for a relaxed dinner on Sunday evening. Home to hit the treadmill and discovered to my delight that at 6 pm...it was still light outside. Hope!
A final note on this full day...stopped in to a local store after work to buy some herbal teas and ran into an old boyfriend...time has healed old wounds and as I left the store I thought how good it is to not be obligated to return to bad habits...be they people or food...putting a blanket on this Monday evening.
