You may also enjoy a gondola ride, horseback ride, bike ride, leisurely hike to waterfalls and wildlife viewing.

📝Living the Good Life - Water & No Random Eating
No Random Eating when I _________. (You fill in the blank)
Each day this week plan to catch yourself doing the right thing at least once. You choose one place, activity, event, situation, setting where you usually do eat RANDOMLY. If it is NOT your meal time, or your pre-planned healthy snack time, or a medically necessary snack, then do the right thing, DO NOT eat.
Keep aware of why you are eating. Ask yourself is it meal time, how long since I ate, how long till my next meal, can I wait a little longer till my next meal? You get the idea. Unless you have a medical need to eat while you are watching TV, on the internet, reading, etc. why are you eating?
My personal rule is 'why am I here'? Costco - to shop not to eat samples; Coffee in the church hall - to visit with friends not eat goodies; Theater - to watch the movie not to eat popcorn; Parties or happy hour - I am there to have fun and visit my friends.
No Random Eating - Plan for when you will not randomly eat. Plan for success and know what you will do if you are tempted. In the moment when you are struggling to resist temptation distract yourself immediately. If you are watching TV, shut off the TV go into another room, brush your teeth, go for a walk, play with the dog, clean the bathroom, whatever it takes so you do not carry out your usual activity coupled with a bout of mindless eating. When you are truly not hungry do something else. For instance, if the TV show is so boring you have to eat, find something more interesting to do. Shift your focus to anything but food.
**No Random Eating (NRE) - Plan for when you choose not to randomly eat.
To score 10 points decide what common activity, place, etc. where you will not eat today. It can be a different one each day if you like. If you successfully resist eating in this CHOSEN situation/place score 10 points. Example you walk into the office and you see a box of chocolates and you tell yourself I will not eat these chocolates and you do not eat them. You succeed and you score points!
No Random Eating (NRE) 10 points all or nothing. If you are already doing this all day, you are to be commended, it will be easy for you to contribute points to your team. Daily maximum 10 points. Note - If you chose NRE for your Don’ts you can score both!
