Week 4 Team Challenge - Mindful Eating
This is in response to a few of us stress/emotional eaters. This is when we are beginning to or in the middle of feeling out of control. It’s important to keep in mind that the cookie or chips we eat in these times doesn’t take away from the good choices you made through the day. A few suggestions to help us emotionally get past it:
1. Choose to eat without guilt
2. Allow them
3. Forgive immediately
Options or suggestions to choose from:
1. Eat a larger breakfast and lunch
2. Think about making choices as Good, Better and Best. If in the moment you really need something sweet or salty. If the 70% chocolate will help the craving then choose that without the guilt because you’ve made a Better choice.
3. Commit to drinking water (maybe flavoured water)/coffee or tea when we feel hungry. Wait 10 minutes and see if it passes.
Let the team know what option you are going to work on!
Mindful Estong Challenge
I'm going to commit to drinking coffee/tea when I feel not hungry but wanting to just munch on something.
I just read this after I ate a bite size chocolate. I didn't eat it mindfully. This time I'll try and make a drink than think it needs to be eaten with something.2 -

Tuesday check in
Calories under
Exercise weights, bike, elliptical
Nothing exciting to report. I'm watching my nephew and didn't eat one of the chocolate chip pancakes, I brought my own food. Haven't cooked anything new but bought tofu on sale for the first time, I'm not sure yet what I'll do with it but have enough dinners to explore recipes for now.2 -
On track, but haven't been checking in. My goal for July is going to be to check in regularly.
Saturday - almost stuck to the plan - morning workout, salad for dinner, two beers. But then it fell apart at my parents house - three glasses of wine and two pieces of pizza.
Sunday - took a rest day - my body needed it. Food was logged and under calorie goal.
Monday - ropes course workout. Food was logged and under calorie goal.
Tuesday - so far so good - 4 mile run this morning, workout group this evening, food is so far on track.3 -

Hey @KatMary - Here are two of my favorite tofu recipes, in case it helps you consider options. I am not attached to your being interested in either, but I happened to have just eaten Savory Baked Tofu as part of my lunch!
