@UTMom81 How was the chicken chili? That recipe sounds great! (Also, the app has been super weird and wonky about updating and entering recipes all week - or at least for me!)

Week 2 Team Challenge - Mindful Eating
Mindful eating is something I was practicing a few months ago and I have lost track of it. As the infographic says - learning to eat well is more of a marathon than a sprint. For me, eating mindfully means slowing down around mealtimes, paying attention to when my body tells me I am full and alternatively when I am hungry. Have a look at the image and pick a few things that resonate with you and start building them into your daily habits. Feel free to share with the team.
@UTMom81 - check out #2!!

Exercise: 33 min spinning, 16 min treadmill, 35 min yoga; may still go out for a short walk, too

@sunshineplace - I am so sorry to hear you are not feeling well, and glad to hear you are taking care of yourself!
@digger61 - Wow! What a day, step-wise!
@Kres567 - So great that you are noticing how you use food when stressed, and that the urge passes. I hope that the external stress abates soon.
@UTMom81 - So impressive! I love Costco, too. I have been using the "maybe someone sneeded on this food" defense. ;-)

The chicken chili looks good, although a little thinner broth than I like. We are having it for Monday night's dinner, so I'll let you know. I will admit though that I added a can of condensed cream of chicken soup to it after it was done last night. So that will add a few calories to each serving. I'll have to figure out how much.

Sunday Check-in
(I have a really backwards sleep schedule guys, I'm always gonna be late except for weigh-ins, I hope you understand)
Calories: on-target
Water: under
Exercise: none, kinda sore
Monday goals:
☐ shop & meal prep, something different than last week, perhaps healthier too
☐ water, as usual
☐ find an easy work out video & do it, so I can do something when it's too cold/icy out to go for a walk
Had a bad, emotional day yesterday, I was tempted to binge but I stopped myself after I knew I'd met my calorie target. Sometimes you just need to cry it out/go to bed, so that's what I did, and I feel a little better today. Still not feeling 100% but I'm proud of myself for not letting it derail me.5 -

I have now lost 100 pounds. A year ago in February, I weighed in on MFP at 265. Woohoo! 🎉🎉5 -
Wow! I just looked at the Week 2 Winners! 🎉🎉🎉
Way to go @dee_toronto ! Over 4% in a week is amazing!
@sunshineplace -- 5 pounds and over 3% loss -- so fabulous!

@BoldBerry - Your dealing with your emotional day is so inspiring.
FYI -- Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home videos on YouTube keep it pretty simple, if you have not tried them. My kiddo likes them, too. https://www.youtube.com/user/walkathomemedia2 -

👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉 Congrats @AustinRuadhain. Can you share what are the top 2-3 things you’ve been doing that has helped you reach this goal??1 -

Hi @Kres567 ,
Thank you!
And -- sure! Top 2 things (this will be so boring, but it's true):
1. Weigh and log all food and drink. I won't know what's working or not working about what I am eating if I don't log it.
2. Meal planning and preparation. This included learning some simple meals that are healthy and easy, so I always have a healthy option.
And on a related note -- I LOVE your Mindful Eating infographic!3 -
Sunday check in
Calories-over
Water-on track
Exercise-rest day
Goal for today is to try to do a small rub and take a power class at the gym3 -

Sunday Check In
A little late but I was watching the Australian Open tennis before bed (I love tennis).
Calories: I must have been under because my weight is down a bit this morning
Exercise: 30 minute power walk workout on the treadmill. Over 11k steps
Water: under
Goals for today:
1. Eat mindfully. If I’m hungry eat what I planned. When I get full, stop. If I’m not hungry wait until I am.
2. Eat according to what I’ve entered in my journal
3. Drink 3 big Starbucks cups at work and then continue at home
4. Walk at lunch2 -

Two things I must get more consistent with.
Question for you (and everyone else) - do you weigh and track raw veggies you eat through the day? I know I should but that’s the one food group I get lazy with - I cut them up and just throw them in a container. I figure I’m doing so good by eating them so isn’t that enough??2 -
@Kres567 -- The calories in raw veggies are so low that I can see not worrying about them, and it's great that you are eating them!
I do weigh everything, but I also have max one snack a day. Not so say that everyone needs to do that, but I was eating a lot out of emotions or for pleasure rather than because I was actually hungry. I figured that I went without snacks as a kid -- I grew up with 3 square meals a day, don't snack, you'll ruin your dinner -- and thought I would try eating more at mealtimes if I needed (esp. more fat). So these days, I have one snack at about 4 -- almost always apple slices and walnuts (fiber and fat and yummy fruit sweetness).
I am also trying to make sure I have at least 13 hours between dinner and breakfast. Anyone else find this kind of thing useful?
