The chronic pain in my right hip is exhausting. I keep asking The Universe if I should make an apt with my orthopedist to check out the hip. I've already had 4 hip replacement surgeries and don't relish the thought of another. I am going to see my primary care dr on Monday for my 3 month checkup and immediately afterward to the dentist for a broken tooth. So here I sit on Saturday AM with lots of bookkeeping to do to prepare for tax time, rugs to vacuum, bed to make, dishes to put away, blah blah blah. All I want to do is climb into my recliner and wrap myself in a fluffy blanket. It's time to be grateful and concentrate on all the GOOD in my life: I have stuck to my new food plan for three weeks, my weight is coming down for the first time in many months, I was home last Tuesday when my hubby had a medical emergency that I was able to help take care of without taking him to the emergency room, my dogs responded well to medication for their health issues last week, I am safe and warm with a full tank of heating oil and my gas fireplace blazing away. My greatest gratitude is that I live a life of recovery in a 12 step fellowship that has saved my sanity.
The days of multi-tasking are over for me. I know I must do one thing and do it well to avoid exhausting myself with several incomplete projects. So I'm off to make the bed, vacuum, and prepare the soup I've planned for dinner tonight. I commit to 1/2 an hour of bookkeeping. I will set a timer and keep to my promise. Then it's RECLINER HERE I COME!
Wishing all who read this a pristine day in mind, body, and spirit.

Tomorrow is grocery shopping day. Stores will be busy because NJ is on winter storm watch for this weekend. While I am certainly not happy that Hubby is not feeling well enough to accompany me, the original plan of us going shopping together and out to lunch on the way home has been cancelled. Whew!...dodged that bullet!!!! While I have used a food plan for years and have no qualms about bringing my measuring cup and food scale into a restaurant, it's so much easier and less stressful to eat at home (and leave Hubby there too). I need to watch my stress level as much as I watch my food plan. In bad weather I fret far too much about my little dogs struggling in snow drifts, Hubby wrestling with the snow blower, and my poor light colored rugs and hardwood floors taking a wet, sloppy beating. My fear of falling on a slippery sidewalk also keeps me indoors, so hunkering down this weekend is definitely my plan. I will make sure I have the food we all need to be safe and warm. Tomorrow I will do my errands armed with a specific shopping list and a lot of prayer. I have read (and believe) that worrying is praying for something bad to happen. I commit here to give my worries to The Universe, to be supported by healthy eating, and to concentrate of my blessings.
Today was my first weigh day after seeing a nutritionist last Wednesday. I am down 2 pounds. I'LL TAKE IT....and be grateful :-).
