Day 28: Holidays Can Be a Challenge.

So today flew by at the speed of light and yet felt like about 4 days wrapped into one. This morning we had the privilege of watching our adorable kids find their Easter baskets and eggs. Then we put on our Sunday best and went to church. Next we had family come and visit for an early dinner, and finally we had the tail end of the evening in which we were able to wrap up the days activities and unwind. What a week! And another one is fast approaching. I look forward to seeing what it brings.

I found it really difficult to stay on plan with all of the yummy treats all around me - I am really unsure of how much I had. I think I thought that if I ate one at a time with space in between that they didn't count. The candy will be leaving the building tomorrow, if there is one thing I know for sure about eating healthy it is that you have to set your environment up for success. I am human and as far as I am concerned, will power is a myth. If it is there I will eat it, almost every time. I am already feeling bloated and icky from the "treats" and I hope these feelings will not be spilling over into tomorrow.

Life is so special and beautiful. I hope you found time to cherish some of the people you love today as we did. Gratitude and blessings to you all as you embark upon the potential waiting to be uncovered in this week. We can never know for sure where our journey in this life will lead us - we can only accept the gift of each moment as they come. I am setting intentions for a healthy week full of energy and great eating. Good night all - time for a new week.
