I'm on Day 11...loving the journey.

So my usual bfast is a boiled egg, piece of fruit and a cup of tea...that is usually STONE COLD by the time I remember that I made it, changed a diaper, fed baby some bfast...you get the idea. So today, in honor of enjoying a meal, I set the stage first. Got the baby in her high chair, armed her with fruit slices and bread, and then made myself

It was fun...I enjoyed the crunch

I once took a mindful eating course/class that consisted of holding, looking, listening and eventually holding a single raisin in your mouth for about 20 minutes before you could chew. True story. I got this one! ;)

I'm looking forward to this challenge Travis. I tend to fly through my meal, so today will be interesting.

There is a fantastic essay written by Thich Nhat Hanh called Tangerine Meditation that fits right into today's Yes activity. http://www.whatdoyouthinkmyfriend.com/Treasure/tangerine.html

And, I think that THIS is the ultimate diet plan for America. Mindful of what we eat and Mindful of the eating of it. You recognize not only your belly filling up but your mind filling up, and

We always read your blogs/watch the videos at night …so unfortunately I will be practicing conscious eating tomorrow. Whereas today I ate more like this:

Too funny!! I started reading today's assignment as I'm sitting in a fast-food drive-thru, which seriously happens about once a month. It hit me as comical, because I have definitely become more mindful over the last few years of what food I am actually eating, but here on my mindless day you post this blog.
