I was SUPER exhausted all day today. Not sure, but I suspect I may be catching my son's cold. My normal urges to push on in the name of productivity kicked in, and I was able to take care of some things in the morning, but by afternoon I thought I might pass out. And so I did. I parked myself on the couch and did not move until I felt better. It worked! Who would have thunk that surrendering (not pushing) would work.
When I feel a bug trying to take over my system my usual response is to deny it. I truly think if I don't say it out loud that it won't happen. I force my way through my life until I simply can't go on any longer. Guess what happens? I end up on the couch for 3-5 days unable to do anything. Yeah, that's super productive. This strategy is really not working for me. Time for a change. Time to appreciate my body's infinite wisdom and surrender to her messages.
So on the couch I rested. Unapologetically. Albeit with the slight discomfort of knowing there were things on my list not being crossed off. I just kept telling myself, "No worries, they'll be there tomorrow. And if not? Awesome."
Here is what I ate today...pay no attention to the junk food on the bottom.
Breakfast:
1/2 Pkg Oatmeal with a splash of cream
1/2 banana
1.5 eggs
Coffee with.....yup, more creamer
By the way the creamer is soy based not dairy, just thought I should mention that.
Lunch:
Turkey Sammy on GF bread (which was sort of like eating a cardboard sandwich)
Tortilla chips
2 gummy army men
1 handful of pistachios
I was starving by the time I ate which made me want to grab just about anything thing in site, real bread looks especially good when I am in that state, but I resisted with pure will.
Dinner:
Chicken and Rice Stew
Junk Food Attack:
Kettle cooked salt and vinegar chips (Not sure how many, but these are good because they hurt if you have too many! Eating the whole bag would be too painful, not that I have a tendancy to do such a thing)
More GF German Chocolate Cake, yay!
