Day 6 & 7 - The Morning Miracle is back on - succeeded both days. Eating plan was basically just eating less, and I'm heading back in the right direction. I've gotten some coaching done, some Toastmasters done.
What the last two day's have really been about, though, is 'trying to control what you can't control'. Because of who may read this blog right now, I can't go into detail, which I hate. Let's just say that something we've been afraid of happening may be happening, but we're not sure, and we have to wait to find out for sure for another week or so. And it's heavy enough that it's strongly affected our mood, our energy, and our choices. In the end, there's nothing about this situation we can truly control, other than, like so many other things in life, our reaction TO it. (A saying, by the way, that has been attributed to everyone from Epictetus to Aldous Huxley to Zig Ziglar to W. Mitchell)
I guess eating bad stuff and seeing bad movies instead of working as hard as I should probably isn't the best reaction. But, as of about 7:30 pm last night, I'm on a roll - getting a lot done, and keeping momentum going.
