I spent a quiet day on the prairie today. Got some housecleaning done. It felt good to get something done. I found lots of dirt so it was needed.
I fell asleep in my chair again this afternoon. The sun was shining and I covered up with a warm blanket and next thing I knew a couple hours had past me by and I had taken a long nap. I will take sleep whenever I can find it.
I called and got an oil change appointment for next week. I called John Deere and they are going to come get my mower sometime in the next couple of weeks. Good to get those two things on the calendar.
I didn’t eat on plan today. Had a moment this afternoon and I ate something off plan, and then I ate something else off plan. Decided since I was off plan I would eat dinner off plan. Sometimes I amaze myself when I get off track. One bad decision leads to another which leads to another.
On the Bright Line Eating Plan they have a form called Permission to be Human. When I was on BLP the first time I didn’t allow myself to ever get off plan. I didn’t learn then how to fall off the wagon and then climb right back on the next day and try again. The intent of the form is to process what happened that caused you to fall off the wagon. It is usually emotions of some sort that I am attempting to avoid feeling and food is a good distraction. That happened today. I took some time this evening to allow the emotion I was stuffing to be heard and felt. And this too shall pass…. Tomorrow is a new day and I will try to eat on plan.
Ellexia sent me a text this afternoon and wants to come out tomorrow. I asked her to call me when she was ready to come out and I would go in and get her. I’ll see if she calls. Sometimes she finds something better to do than to hang with G-Kay.
Grateful for sleep – even when I find it unexpectedly, grateful some housework got done today, and grateful tomorrow I get an another chance to eat on plan.
