It's made such an amazing difference in my day to day focus. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the good vibes! They worked! It turns out I made it through the entire day without nibbling a single bite - that has to be some kind of lifetime record for me I think. But I did it! C'est possible!hmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-13315159802092688632008-05-09T12:06:00.000-05:002008-05-09T12:06:00.000-05:00This is a really hard challenge - I'm sending you ...This is a really hard challenge - I'm sending you lots of encouraging vibes to keep going at it! I tried something similar a few months ago, as part of Crunchy's No Waste Challenge, and I found it really difficult. Not multitasking and sitting down while I ate were the hardest things for me. I so enjoy having tea and a snack while reading, or having popcorn while watching one of the few tv shows I watch. <BR/><BR/>I love the meditating though, just love it. I don't do it everyday, but it is something that I really look forward to and am amazed at. Having some time to just sit and be grateful and compassionate is absolutely transformative.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908227916944431265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-42436384664307730342008-05-09T10:10:00.000-05:002008-05-09T10:10:00.000-05:00Good luck, Green Bean!

I got up and gave my doggie her pills in peanut butter. I did NOT lick the spoon. So far so good. Next was breakfast for me. I got out container of pre-peeled citrus and filled a small bowl - no nibbles there. I took out a slice of homemade whole wheat and cut a piece of cheese off my wedge of gouda. A crumb fell off the cheese as I was putting it on the bread before toasting. I put the crumb in my mouth and before I could close, I realized what I did, removed it and put it on the bread to toast. Pshew. Almost blew it there! :) <BR/><BR/>Keep plugging along. We can do it!hmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-64655749183218072792008-05-09T09:21:00.000-05:002008-05-09T09:21:00.000-05:00I'm doing the challenge too - or trying to. It is...I'm doing the challenge too - or trying to. It is so hard to get out of the habit to stuff something in my mouth while making dinner or putting the kids lunches together. I also am so used to multi-tasking - eating while working on the computer and Michael Pollan in IDF says specifically that a desk is not a table. Damn him! I had thought I could convince myself to a way out on that one. Good luck following your rules and wish me luck on mine.Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.com
