    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[/quote]

    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.
