A very pleasant day so far. Pleasant, but a little odd, I might add!
To begin with, I felt much better upon arising. I am yet again enacting my no eating in the evening rule. I'd like to cut off eating at 7:00 p.m., but with my schedule I would be safer saying 8:00 p.m. That way I don't have to deal with the consuming guilt!
Yesterday I did not eat after 7:00. But I did mix pomegranate juice with sparkling water and a splash of vinegar. I have read for many years that apple cider vinegar has health benefits, including digestion. I have also seen recipes for "shrubs" lately that include fruit syrup and vinegar.
With my complaining tummy, I do seem to crave vinegar, and fermented foods. Like sauerkraut. Pickles. Kimchi.
Anyway, perhaps it was the vinegar drink. Or it was the not eating late. But I woke up feeling better than average!
And as an added bonus, my favorite bus driver picked me up on the way to church. AND the same driver drove me home! We had much pleasant conversation. And I walked home with a spring in my step. (And a blush on my face, I suspect!)
This week I am going to focus on smaller portion sizes, healthy foods - especially whole foods and probiotic foods, stopping eating at night before 8:00 p.m. Continuing to exercise everyday. Focusing on the positive in myself and others. And adding a little fun - enjoying a bit of harmless flirtation does wonders for the self esteem!
Happy Sunday!
