I'm starting back on NoS after a successful period this summer - and then letting things fall apart as I studied for the LSATs. I'm just trying to keep things together as I go through the stress of applying to law school. I'm hoping that trying to post each day will at least keep me honest with myself.
Wish me luck!
Melissa's Daily Check In

Re: Melissa's Daily Check In
Yesterday was day 1 - and reasonably successful. Dinner was a bit in stages (we made pancakes and then had veggies and cheese afterwards). Have to work on eating dinner at a single sitting.
Re: Melissa's Daily Check In
Tuesday another night of staged dinners which are quite hard. But I did go to aerobics in the morning.
Wednesday having a hard time sitting down to eat lunch - and ate very, very late.
Thursday am - back to aerobics class. So at least something is going right!
Anyone have any suggestions for making sitting down to meals a priority? Even just doing this vague tracking for a few days, I'm seeing that that's a problem.

Re: Melissa's Daily Check In
With a really busy lifestyle, it's hard. Maybe try one meal at a time? Standardize breakfast, then standardize dinner if you can. Lunch may always be hard to pin down.
It's worthwhile making rituals around meals - like saying grace (even if you aren't religious, it's worth taking a few seconds to just be thankful for what you have), and then eat it mindfully.

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to try the mindfulness idea!
Re: Melissa's Daily Check In
A bit more successful yesterday. I really appreciated Kevin's mindfulness comment - and I'm going to try and incorporate it in the coming days.
Now let's see how the lovely "s" days go.
