      Back from my week with the grandsons - and see I missed so much on here. I did OK, and thought I would lose weight with playing with a 9 yr old and 6 yr old, but the scale is the same :/ I did go walking everyday, but it was like 18 degrees out!

      Today back in missouri - high today will be in the 50s, so loving this weather.
      so JFT
      Monday, 1/24

      Today is almost over for me, 9pm EST, so for tomorrow I would just like to be aware of when I am satisfied with the amount of food I've eaten. In other words not eating til I'm full. Just satisfied.

      This was from Sunday. Oops. Long day yesterday starting at 4am ending at 11pm but loads of good got done.

      JFT 1/26/16
      - eat lunch for 1-3 minutes with my full attention, no tv, reading, radio
      - my mantra, "eat for how I want to look and feel tomorrow"
      - try not to use all my brain space to considering my weight

      I take off for Colombia in about 20 hours and I'm not sure about the workout, but I'm not going to feel bad if I don't get it done because I will be walking and hiking around so much while we're there.

      Make it a great Tuesday everyone!

      I did set a timer (I know, dorky) and gave my lunch my full attention and it was really nice. Everything seemed technicolor. I didn't realize I'd been dampening my experience so much with other distractions. Will be doing this again for sure tomorrow.

      1. Figure out what to do regarding possible new house and try not to stress about it. Can't get a consistent number for closing costs (like $5000 swing worse). rates are significantly lower than we are being offered and our credit is not that bad (I think, having trouble getting a straight answer). We have to make an appointment to get our questions answered. Loan officer never picks up her phone or answers all of our questions despite being provided in a bulleted fashion. okay enough ranting.

      So glad to get back to JFT!! Miss you all!

      Drink 9 cups of water
      Walk 45 mins
      Talk myself into going to gym -either yoga or weights.
      Pretrack as much as possible.
      Plan dinners for next 4 nights.
      Clean out some clutter in home.
      Call a good friend & my mom.
      Keep listening to podcast "Tips from the scale".
      Early to bed-9:30

      I have to set smaller goals. 40 lbs is overwhelming. I'm going to try for 5 lb increments.
      How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
