K.I.S.S.
I eat faster and do not chew as well when I am putting things in my body that I do not really want in me. Now that is absolutely silly. Why eat it if I do not want it in me? Is eating it any faster going to make it better or less distasteful? Heck no! That just will make be feel sluggish with the slow digestion. You would think I would know better. Well I just read a blog about accountability and getting on. Good idea! No need to stick with the negative thoughts, just move on and try, try and try again.
Things have actually been quite stressful the last couple of days, but all in all I am handling things fairly well. Sometimes these experiences just need to awaken us to a new perspective, a new path and great growth. I am glad I gave myself a few free days on the weekend to be free with my diet. Not eating so ideal, but certainly fairly all right….just a bit too much. Tomorrow is a new beginning of a new week though I will be starting anew for supper tonight. Slow and steady. Did some strength training today though I went a little easy on some of the arm exercises since my left wrist is a little sore. Not a biggie. It is an old injury so I just did what I could.
Enjoyed the farmer’s market yesterday though there was only one herb that looked good to me. Chocolate mint! It smelled so good and it was calling my name. I also purchased some fiddleheads which we threw out after learning a bit more about them. Plus they did not look so fine after having spent some time in a plastic bag. Picked up some dense breads which I already cut thin and froze. And I found some lovely tomatoes, red and green peppers - nightshade veggies and I will enjoy! Ha! AND THE CUCUMBERS…YUM! Should have left the chocolaty haystacks there, but didn’t. So good. Little more balance with the protein , carbs and fats as my body likes and still liking the plant based foods. I am having some lemon dill salmon thought tonight with a big salad.
This week……
No added sugar and just eating well. Working out as I should with variety. Keeping It Simple is the Solution for me this week!
Sounds like a great plan Jennifer!

Ya know, I think I am doing the same thing with foods I know I shouldn’t be having. Swallowing without chewing that great just so I can shove another bite in my mouth. I would think that I would want to slow down and savor it because I don’t get to eat it, but no. Maybe learning to regulate that would help me be able to have a little bit of something “bad” and still stay on track. Eating half a burget instead of binging on the whole thing as fast as I can. Thanks for opening my eyes a little to the fact that I do that too
Oh, the foods that you write about sound delicious! Although I don’t know what fiddleheads are and never seen a chocolate mint (is it a variety of regular mint? I love the regular, fresh, in my tea - ah:)
It just sounds fun and enjoyable:)
Do you exercise at home or in a club?
I need to up my consistency in this department.
