Mindful Eating and Intake Diary Works!!

Posted on October 22, 2015

Day 3 of my Change of diet- Been eating multiflax multigrain cereals for breakfast with almond milk

Salads for lunch, broiled chicken 3x4" with veggies for dinner ! The most important thing is water, water, water, chewing food slowly, eating only to satisfy hunger not eating to get full . Then daily food intake diary!! Loosing weight takes discipline :)

Mindful Eating reminders: WHAT, WHEN AND WHY YOU ARE EATING. - Determine your emotions: are you bored, sad or really hungry? Listen to your body.- Appreciate your food. Think of those people who harvested it, how it was prepared, what's in the food. Arrange it nicely in your plate. Use your favorite china.- Be present when you are eating. Avoid distractions. Chew your food slowly. Take at least 28-30 seconds chewing before you swallow.DAY 4 : My R foot was hurting during our Cha-cha practice last night, my L knee was sore all day. My plantar fascists, tendonitis and bone spur is also acting up on my L foot. setbacks are part of the challenge. What's important is you continue to focus on your goal and how to reach it!And I love this quote: " YOUR ONLY LIMIT IS YOU"

Keep up the good work. This new (to me) way of eating/cooking takes a lot of work! I really an apple pie for breakfast in a jar recipe. I add chia seeds for extra fiber. Just take a canning jar and put 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 +cup water (if adding chia), a little sweetener like maple syrup (I use sugar free "fake" maple syrup, cinnamon! (to taste), and chopped apples. Leave in fridge overnight. In the morning I zap mine for 2 min in 1 min intervals (to make sure it doesn't overflow.) Remove , add milk (almond or whatever) to consistency you like, Add a few broken walnuts, stir and enjoy. ...making myself hungry for oatmeal. lol

You do, wonderful :> I never heard of LaBlast before today. I don't think its in our area of Indiana. There are Zumba's which look fun but I wouldn't last 2 minutes . Just need to start walking regular to start with. May have to check out LaBlast dvd's also.
