I don’t have a lot of time today because we got another new cat and the kids are very excited about the entire thing. They are having a hard time going to sleep and I need to get them settled so I can wake up at 5:40 to be ready for my pump class.
Our internet was down earlier so I didn’t get to check my blog until later than usual. I will have to get to all that tomorrow.
I was supposed to leave a portion on my plate. It was calling to me to eat it, but I held strong. I really really really wanted to keep eating at the end of dinner. I sipped on V8 juice and that seemed to do the trick. It gave my mind enough time to realize that I didn’t need it. I was fine and I’m still quite comfortably full right now. Imagine if I had eaten more; I would be stuffed. I’m so happy that I didn’t break the plan.
As usual, I also had a struggle in the afternoon. I think that is always a hard time for me because I’m tired and I don’t want to do the cleaning or to do list that I really should be doing while the kids sleep. In the recent past food has been a good procrastination tool. So instead of snacking, I just kind of wandered around doing not much of anything, but I didn’t eat. I can work on my productivity at a different time. Right now I will work on me and reaching my goal of being healthy.

"really really really wanted to keep eating at the end of dinner"... It's a great idea to have a 'floating time' beverage treat (V8)... I'm going to add that to my food plan. One thing I think happens is that we get busy after we eat and may not realize we are stuffed because we are concentrating on something else.
You also talked about the afternoon struggle. Being 'tired', the 'should's', the pressured to be productive... all of these things add up to us not focusing on taking care of ourselves. "Right now I will work on me and reaching my goal of being healthy." We have been gifted this body to take care of. Once we see it as part of our spiritual path, it takes on a whole new dimension.
