Slowing Down

Since I have to be to work so freaking early, it is hard for me to establish daily goals.  Maybe I'll have to establish them the day before.  Even though I did not write them down, I did have mental goals for myself today.

1).  As always:  Don't binge and eat reasonably

2).  Slow down and take a "sip and a breath"

3).  Eat only the food I brought with me to work

So far its another successful day!  When eating lunch today and also dinner tonight I had to consciously remind myself to slow down.  Though I didn't follow the "sip and a breath" after each bite, I slowed down taking sips of water or milk after every few bites.  During dinner, I caught myself on two occasions putting another biteful of food in my mouth before the first biteful was chewed and swallowed.  I was mindful of it and stopped it which is awesome. 

Today's Intake:
Bowl of cereal with blueberries
Turkey and cheese sandwich with alfalfa sprouts and tomato on whole wheat bread
yogurt
apple
beautiful salad including broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, chicken and ranch dressing
cottage cheese.
Freeze pop.
Bowl of fruit (grapes, cherries blueberries)
1/2 serving (6) rice cakes.

That is what is for dinner tonight!

Activity:
About 50 minutes of mild hiking.

So another decent day was had by me.  Hope I can keep on keepin' on.
