Hello sweet friends. How was your week? Last week I tried something different. Less *thinking* about how I should eat and more thinking about life in general. I concentrated on me, which is something I normally don’t do. For instance, I ate good foods when I was hungry, not necessarily because it was breakfast time or lunch time or dinner time. Does that make sense? I still ate meals but I broke them down into mini-meals throughout the day. I always felt full and didn’t crave anything which is a first for me. And a couple of times something weird happened. What you ask? I heard my tummy growling – Oh my! When was the last time you heard your tummy growl? This was such a weird feeling especially since I felt like I was eating all day. But even more amazing – I was down on the scales this week – can I get heck yeah!
So my friends – how was your week?

Oh brother – I do feel your mom with those attacks. Mine get them from time to time too. It’s like walking on egg shells when they visit – shivers. XOXO – Bacon

Eating good foods when you’re physically hungry is foolproof. I’m pretty sure that’s how we were designed to work….

I think you may be right my friend. I wonder why it’s taking me years to figure that out – LOL – June

I really think we are! It’s a daily fight for sure but I think I’m finally getting in the swing of things for sure – especially the cooking part. June

That is great! Do you think the food actually tastes better when you’re tummy-grumblin’ hungry? I have a feeling a good percentage of when I eat isn’t because I have a physical need, it’s more in my head. Good for you on practicing mindful eating 🙂

Oh trust me – it’s hard to ‘listen’ to your body. I’ve been taught 3 meals a day at certain times regardless if your hungry. What can I say – it’s the southern way. So trying to redo this in your head and eat when you need fuel is new for me. BUT, I think I’m finally getting it. June

I have had a great week too. I have been doing a new exercise which doesn’t feel like an exercise cos its fun. I have been doing ” long baton twirling” LOL! Well done to YOU!

Oh my! That sounds like so much fun. Are your batons on fire? LOL – I always love that in talent shows. Too much fun! And you won’t laugh now when I tell you what I’ve been trying to do for exercise – the hula hoop every night for about 15 minutes – can you believe that? June

Hula hooping is a GREAT idea. It has to be fun or it won’t get done!
HaHa! No fire (yet) 😀

Exactly! And this is fun… it’s always fun until someone accidentally gets to close to the edge of the deck and falls off… I’m just sayin – LOL – June
