Not the best night's sleep last night which is surprising as I generally sleep really well while cleansing. Guess even my sleep clock knew the cleanse ended yesterday! But, feel great, cleansed & ready to stay my course gluten, lactose & added sugar free. Will start by adding back mostly vegetables today plus some fruit & lean protein.
Wondering if my lack of sleep was thinking about the weekend ahead. Did I tell you we're hosting a pool party & cookout for my younger son's old baseball team... another form of reunion? It was supposed to be on Sat, but the turnout was light & the weather forecast not good with severe thunderstorms predicted. So, I sent an email seeing if pushing it to Sunday would work & the turnout is looking better, the weather should have broken, plus it gives me another day to prep. This "reunion" is an easy one though as we provide & grill the burgers, dogs & chicken, and the boys & their families each bring a dish to share & their own drinks. Looks like we'll have about 30 in total. My son played for the same coach (who the boys & we all love even in his overzealousness/enthusiasm for the sport) from t-ball through little league & high school, so we got to know the parents quite well as his "all-star" team traveled quite a bit including annual weeklong tournaments around the country.
I'm off to tabata spin this morning, then grocery shopping for the party & getting a mani/pedi this afternoon... not a bad day at all! But before i begin my prepping day, 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 through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal & express my way, being grateful for you my wonderful FS friends plus my in-person friends & family, the peace that the cleanse and journaling has brought physically & mentally, my health, financial security & returning to the life I love. xoxox
