Goals Still Work

The sun rises earlier each day here in the Valley of the Sun.  And while I haven’t been able to change waking up each morning around 4am, I have been trying to reset that! Because it can be aggravating!!  

But I'm learning to deal with it. The harder part is being hungry earlier each day.  I can usually wait until at least 8am to break my fast, but with daylight, my system seems to shout "wake up, gimme some food!!" 

To counter that, after breakfast its 15-20 minutes on the treadmill. 

All of these changes affect my eating/fasting cycle.  Work in visits with mom, and its hard to maintain what works for me.

With the sun rising earlier each day, I am hungry for breakfast at 7.  Which also means I'm ready for lunch by 11, though, so maybe this will work. My main meal of the day is lunch, so after visiting Mom, its yogurt with blueberries, a salad, or a cup of broccoli for dinner.

Taking care of ourselves is important; at the same time, we need to live our lives. Choosing isn't always easy, or perfect. 

We all do the best we can. Just be open to alternatives! Its what I'm having to do. And after having written it down here, I can see that moving things, rearranging things, helps reassure me that my goals can still work within the changes.
