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 - JANUARY 25, 2016- Log everything I put into my mouth
- Drink tea or water before eating meals, to make sure that I'm truly hungry and not just craving food just because I'm bored or can't think of anything else to keep me occupied
- Meet my calorie goals, and once met, STOP... drink water, realize that I need to learn my limits!
- Mani and Pedi, afterwork!
Had to stay late at work - Optional - get some restorative cardio (if I have time)
too tired

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.

JFt Wednesday
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.0 -

...Commit to yourself, Just For Today, and then have the courage to follow through and your dreams can come true.
I know it for a fact!
"The accountability of posting here keeps me on the straight and narrow.
I can always find excuses in my head, but somehow, they just don't cut it when I see them in black and white on the page."
On holiday for a week. JFT for this week: Make the most of every minute; do lots of exercise; Apres Ski!
