So.....................
February and my attempt at only eating mindfully was a bit of a bust, thus I am again using this as a health goal for this month again. This is an area that I obviously need to work on. My goal this month is to not only aim to eat more mindfully but dissociate computer/TV = food for me. EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK! Got my work cut out for me.I know though that when I kick this habit (even if it takes all year) my health will be dramatically improved.
It can sometimes be easier to focus on DOING something then NOT DOING something. With this in mind my other goal for March is to adequatly hydrate myself. I do not drink enough anything, let alone water, for health not to mention a nursing mommas health.
March Health Goals:
1) Drink minimum of 3L of fluid with a minimum of 2L coming from water or herbal teas
2) Limit Mindless eating
a) no eating while watching TV, engaged on computer or reading
b) aim to limit eating while standing/driving/working in kitchen as it can lead to mindlessness
3) Limit Sugar
a) Limit high sugar foods to 1x/week
b) Be aware and avoid added sugars in most food
Here is my Journey:
Day 1:
Tracked my fluids today and had to get a few extra glasses of water to reach my goal. Accomplished this b/c I planned for it. No TV eating ect...but then again I was away for the evening and that tends to be my downfall time.
Day 2:
Was doing so well on all accounts....then I put the Littlest Man to bed and my hand were free...and I wanted to fill them with food. I marginally caved and made myself a english muffin with this raspberry honey we got at the farmers market today (YUM!). I was well aware I was being weak...but instead of saying 'What the Hell' and giving up - which would have happened in February - I stopped the show I was watching when I took a bite and mindfully ate each and every bite. So I would call this a successful stepping stone.
