Lots of friends and cookouts and activity. It made it hard to be wise with my choices and I saw an embarrassing lack of will power on my part. It's like will power is a muscle. Once you haven't used it for a while it grows very weak.
I'm feeling bloated and sluggish. My nights with baby have been very difficult, so I keep thinking its the lack of sleep. But, my food choices have been rather lazy and I think that's a big factor as well. The last two days have been better. I'm focusing on fruits and vegies to clean my system out a bit. I'm also learning and trying to make some kind of plan for eating to get my gall bladder healthy. It's still creating some pain and issues so I guess the Lord finally found the perfect way to get me to let go of the pizza, chips, and ice cream that I've always enjoyed with my husband. So far, I've found that my greek yogurt with frozen fruit replaces the ice cream well. Peanuts and even carrot sticks give me something to crunch in place of the chips. But, my pizza. I'm just going to miss pizza so much.
Slept in long today, thanks to my wonderful husband. Had a large apple for breakfast. I'm still getting used to the fact that I can eat so much fruit now and first thing in the day. The GD diet had my brain wired a different direction, so when I reach for a piece of fruit, I tend to feel like it's a bad choice. Reprogramming.
Off to enjoy lunch with the fam and hopefully get a house project done for the day.
