Dear Diary,It's day 5 of the cleanse and thgins continue to go well I am okay with getting up at 4:45 am because I feel good as I do the morning routine, feel productive before I leave the house (food prep and my own prep has improved my multitasking) and it's a great start to my day. I am feeling full after each meal, and not the heavy oh my gosh did I just eat ALL of that oh, yeah, I have room for dessert full.I was presented with a tough challenge yesterday at work being at my schools and working around everyone's schedule. I did make sure that I stopped for lunch, but honestly felt rushed to finish so that I could get to a classroom to do an observation for a meeting. It was incredibly frustrating because I was working on a tight timeline and I wanted to maintain the frame of mind to take care of myself. In addition, I was called over to my other school to respond to an emergency and found that after a couple of hours of talking with the parent, teacher, and administration I was in the office looking through the candy dishes! One of my bad habits is that I graze those bowls during and after stressful situations. Diary, you would be so proud, I did not eat anything from those dishes! However, I did realize that I was still stressed after the drive home when I walked through the door and saw the almonds and wanted to eat them and a sandwich and some pizza again, my dearest Diary, I resisted the urge and instead began preparing dinner for the evening. When it was time to sit and eat, I found that I not only felt less stressed, but I was also not as hungry as I thought.It's the little thgins that speak volumes awareness is key!Well, Diary, it's time for kickball and our team's theme tonight is knee socks woohoo! I just sure hope I don't fall on my face when I am up to bat !Until next time,Xoxoxo Natasha
