I am going to focus on fruits and vegetables today. I ate entirely too much yesterday. I started out well. Almost finished well. Was actually telling myself on the bus ride home, that I needed to resurrect the no food after 7:00 p.m. rule again from last year. It was a good rule. I think I will bring it back, with the understanding that with my schedule, sometimes a small, late night dinner without guilt is allowed!
But last night I was blindsided. I opened the door to my son with his best friend and girlfriend. Really sweet kids. They were watching the Blazers, who at that moment had a ten point lead on the Warriors.
I had planned on grabbing a large glass of water and heading to my room for a bit of piano practice and bedtime with book.
But instead watched the game. My son's friends brought the fixings for tacos and rice. I had a bowl of rice, topped with taco meat and guacamole.
It was an intense, close game. It was a blast to hoot and holler and yell at Curry when he led his team to crush us in overtime. I consoled myself with a chocolate. They had brought me a box as a Mother's Day gift.
But, hey, I only ate one! And it was a stressful game!!
I do not regret it. I spend way too much time alone.
So I will just have a cleansing food day today.
And reinstate the "no food after 7:00 p.m. law.
On that note, time to practice.
I think I will take a walk today before I teach. The weather is too go r gorgeous for words!!
I leave you with these passages from my psalm of the day, Psalm 36:

I leave you with these passages from my psalm of the day, Psalm 36:
Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
6
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
7
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8
They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
9
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
I plan on writing these words on an index card and packing it with me to glance at when the urge to binge strikes!
Happy Tuesday!
