Alodie Spires 10/26/2016 12:45 PMOops, I checked my actions off for today and it is only noon. Now I have to do them:) -
Alodie Spires 10/24/2016 10:43 AMA bit of a challenge to have meatless meals when travelling. I did have a vegetarian dinner but had small amounts of meat for breakfast and lunch so I could have adequate protein. -
Alodie Spires 10/24/2016 10:40 AMOnly had one meatless meal today. Went to the coast and could not resist a cup of clam chowder. -
Alodie Spires 10/19/2016 8:07 PMDidn't meet the simplicity challenge today but I'm listening to encouraging words while I eat cheese and an apple, and I can still hear the rain outside my window. -
Alodie Spires 10/17/2016 9:51 AMSo far so good. Not much to say at this point. Ah, simplicity even with words. -
Alodie Spires 10/15/2016 9:48 PMSo far it's been easy. I've been enjoying the quiet time during meals and haven't missed the meat so far. I purchased some meat alternatives which I look forward to incorporating into my usual weekday dinners. No issue with turning off my computer today because I never turned it on. -
Alodie Spires 10/13/2016 2:07 PMI have already started to turn off my computer&monitor after I am done using them. It seems I just needed to remind myself to do this - thanks post it note! I have been eating most of my evening meals & a few lunches the past week with no distractions. I have noticed I eat more slowly and chew thoroughly when I am paying attention. I am looking forward to eating more meatless meals and have plans to make a big batch of hearty veggie-mushroom soup - perfect for a rainy evening meal. All ready to start in full tomorrow! -
Alodie Spires 9/27/2016 11:04 AMI am getting an early start on retraining myself with better habits: Yesterday, I ate a vegetarian lunch and dinner. I ate dinner in my backyard listening to the sounds of the neighborhood and enjoying a warm evening. I turned off my computer before going to bed. All is well. -
Alodie Spires 9/23/2016 4:03 PMLooking forward to this challenge. I chose items that I already do often but not all the time and would like to improve on. The most challenging will be eating without distractions and I am curious to see what effects this will have on my appetite & feeling of well being. -
