I noticed something today. Last weekend I went on two long mountainous bike rides.
They were lots of fun, exhilarating. But it was more mileage and hills than I've been
doing lately. I ate regular big meals and packed peanut butter sandwiches to eat on the bike.

Monday I usually rest, but this week I had an opportunity to swim, so I did. Tuesday I noticed
I ate way more than I needed-5 zucchini oat muffins, another before bed, extra slice of pizza
(made it myself, no whites or sugar), lots of walnut butter and rice cakes. I just observed this
and went "hmmm-I must have overstressed my body. Thank you, dear body, for your strength
and allowing me to do such fun activities."

I woke up today feeling kind of gross, since I ate a lot of this right before bed. In my pre RR life
I would have had diet head and thought I'd better eat less today. But instead I cheerfully made
my big shake for breakfast, had yummy lunch on time. My body and spirit felt so loved and
taken care of. It's like a double image-I still hear the mean voices to cut back or exercise more,
but now they are small voices, not "me."

What an amazing benefit of this program. Also it's a constant delight that I'm able to do all these
activities and not run out of energy in the middle. As Chloe says, Healing is Grand.
