...and the details take care of themselves, does that mean that the devil takes care of himself? Makes sense to me!
I have not figured out how to get my blog done in the evening, when I keep falling asleep; I guess I'll let the devil take care of this one.
My new plan includes texting someone, anyone, when I'm considering any significant lapse of healthy eating. My premise is that the very fact of putting into words my concern, even if I don't get an immediate response, will change the need for immediate action, thereby keeping the food out of my mouth at least until later. My hope is that the very fact of articulating it will engage my discernment, and remind me that I'm not alone, as I'm so blessed to have so many people to reach out to. Fuck the devil on this one!
I have also been considering how to get some walking into my day; it's too stressful to get home from the gym early enough to walk to work, but I do have more time at lunch than I need to eat my lunch. My initial thought was to do the steps at the "Basilica" next door, but as steps are hard on joints, I'm going to walk the parking lot after I eat. (This is not the same as working the parking lot, although that sounds appealing too!) It will have the double benefit of getting me away from the food! The devil loses again!
I have also decided to do my best to invite at least one person for dinner every week. This will inspire me to be a little creative, think about variety, that I might not bother with just for myself. If I can take better care of myself by offer to do something for someone else, bonus!
That's it so far, but I think they are all good ideas. Now I'm going to read.
Love, elly
You have my number.
ReplyDeleteAnd mine. Although I can certainly understand why you would call Jenn first! And I agree, all of your ideas are good ones. I am 100% convinced that you will slay your dragon as long as you keep him out in the light. By that I mean continuing to be public, and continuing this mutual accountability that you have with family and friends!! And spring is just around the corner!!! Love
