    Count me in! I am the queen of eating and multitasking. I will start to be more mindful around food and in turn I imagine this would help me develop intuitive eating which is a 3-6 month goal for me. I hate tracking and I am trying to learn to listen to my body more!

    3/5

    Eat dinner at table :)
    Meal plan for next day :)
    Log whole day in AM :)
    Min 20 min activity :) Spin class 1 hour

    Still dealing with my skin itching and I'm wondering if it's stress induced eczema. Recent upheaval at work but I thought I was handling it just fine. It's much better than it was but I just feel an intermittent urge to scratch like when I've had mild poison ivy in the past.

    At lunch today I mindfully ate my salad. I noticed what huge bites I was taking and slowed it way down. Turns out I didn't need to eat more than 2/3rds of it. Happy Tuesday

    I'm doing great watching and thinking about what I want to put into my mouth! I noticed I'm making better choices.

    Well, going full blown bipolar dieting with CKD since this might actually benefit me most due to my weird schedule. 5 days high carbs (~300-400g) moderate protein (100-150g), really low fat (20g or so), then 2 transition days back into low carbohydrate diet (high fat, <25g carbohydrate), then 1 week low carbohydrate in a deficit (moderate fat < 100g or so..."bastardized"/bodybuilder Keto with too much protein turning into body fat (sarcasm)).

    At the very least, I know this is going to be fun for a while/learn some new strategies? Eating the same foods for 3 month or longer intervals gets stale/plateaued at times

    Rye- congratulations on your success!

    It's going to be a great day today! I'm going to take Shep for a walk. Swing my kettle bell! Go sit in the hot tub and swim in the swimming pool. Then this evening we have a country western themed pool party! I'll try see if I can do some line dancing!

    Have a great day everyone!

    3/7 I did it!
    Started off the month with a full week with no cheats. none. zero. nada.

    plan it - yep!
    log it - yep!
    eat it - yep!

    Next week will be hard. I was invited to Canyonlands with a friend. I love it down there. I love drinking beer amongst the amazing rock formations. mmmmm beer. None for me this trip. That part will be hard.
