11am - Okay, so I'm one meal and 50 minutes into this new journey, but I needed to document that I actually started. I had a Fruit & Nut Bar and 2 glasses of water (one 16.9 oz water bottle) flavored with Peach Tea Crystal Light. I took the full 15 minutes to eat (okay, it was really only 12 minutes), and I drank all of the water and I tried to think about each bite - the flavors, the texture, the feeling inside as I was eating, etc. - all the things it tells me in the book and the Quick Start Guide. I've re-read chapters 1 - 5 of Habits of Health and I'm going to get started on the workbook pages this time too.
For now, I have so much schoolwork to do and I'm struggling to figure out where to start. I'm on a good path, but just need to nail down and solidify what it is I'm going to be doing the first three weeks of school and then I'll be able to feel better and more prepared. I have this upcoming week to finish it all and then next week the kids are back! Hard to believe the summer is over, teacher training is in full swing and I'm livin' the dream. Cheers to a new journey!
2:00pm - I've just eaten my second meal: Garlic Mashed Potatoes and I'm feeling good. I'm 6 waters in so far and I've only had 2 Diet Dr. Peppers - cans, not actual "drinks" from Circle K. I'm taking this very seriously and being very mindful and slow while I eat. Next meal is at 4:30pm.
