Today's Good Things:
Up and dressed before the children
Woke them with a smile
Bible & journal
Morning walk with the fam
Followed meal plan fairly well until dinner (enter date night)
Worked out some strategy to deal with tough home issues
Today's Not So Good Things:
Children were not so enthusiastic about my fresh start to the day
Tough issues with one dear child
Date night dinner was too hard to resist
Today I started well. I am very glad for that. I'm sad because I can see the transition to get us back on our regular routine is going to be a rough one. Today was hard, dealing with a lot of those emotions and working on behavior that has been let go for too long. Emotionally, I'm drained.
We had a wonderful date night tonight, though. I'm grateful the Lord always gives hope even when we don't even know where to look for it.
Tomorrow I hope to start as strong. I also hope to get in an afternoon walk instead of sitting in my own emotional pity-party. I should have at least walked off those blues.
I also have my first mw appointment tomorrow. I wasn't expecting to go this soon, but I am excited to meet with her and hear more on her thoughts for keeping my blood sugars balanced.
Oh, and starting to think about the Thanksgiving day menu. I want to include my family's favorites, but I want to be cautious about tempting myself with all of those goodies. It will be a challenge, for sure.
