Day 5 task of the Beck Diet Solution was to eat slowly and mindfully. I found out I eat much faster than I thought I did. I was always putting something on my fork before I finished chewing and swallowing like I was afraid the food was going to be taken away or something. I forgot to time how long my meals took - but I still have dinner to go. Also it was weird to eat with the TV off. Eat w/no distractions for a few days then go back to slow and mindful eating w/distractions. I was supposed to change something about the table also to remind me to eat slow but since I don't eat at my table that didn't work for me. I do eat sitting down though. Also the author suggested setting a timer to go off every three minutes to remind me to eat slowly and mindfully but since I didn't have a timer I did not do that. I did my previous days tasks today as well (sitting down to eat, giving myself credit, reading my list of the advantages of losing weight). I went walking but only made it 15 minutes. It was hard to get myself walking today and I ended up getting a cramp in my calf so I stopped after 15 minutes (I hope it wasn't psychosomatic).
I bought some workout DVD's and I plan to start working out again next week at the Y. Getting myself to exercise regularly is the hardest change I have to make. I am good about starting things but sometimes not so good on follow through. I have been great on following through on Atkins (46 days today) and I am going to put the same determination into following through on my exercise routines. I have to be careful not to overload myself w/tasks though. That is usually what stops my plans for self-improvement - I get too much on my plate and get overwhelmed and give up everything. We are having a new recipe tonight -Parmesan Chicken Breasts. I hope it will be good. Have a good night everyone!

I believe that starting up IS the hardest part. The gym I go to has a sign on the door when walking in it says, "The hardest part's over." Get to the Y. Showing up is the hard but once you're there you will do something -whether it's 15 minutes or 50, it's more than you did the day before. I also firmly believe in gentile on yourself in the beginning so you don't give yourself a reason not to go back. I'll be checking in! We have to LOSE the mentality of "I'll stop procrastinating starting tomorrow!"

Thanks for the encouragement. I need to remember what you said. The hardest part is getting there. It should be easier next week because my husband is off work. He might be willing to go w/me. But either way I will go. Tuesday and Thursday to start and then Saturday or Sunday also. I need to remember just to do the best I can. I don't have to do it perfectly. I just need to go do it. Thanks for checking in, too.
