I see what doing a little something everyday can do! I planning on continuing this practice after this challenge is over. Hopefully a new habit has been formed.

Was hard not to watch the Cubs in the World Series which was on the TV while I was eating. But at least I did not read which is my usual challenge as the TV would not be normally turned on at this time. Go Cubs!

finally deleted the bulk of my unread emails. Now just a manageable amount remaining to go through and organize into folders. Yippee! Will do my best to keep up or unsubscribe!

The mindful eating is slipping just a bit.....glanced at some printed material while chewing before I realized it. 

Continuing with the email deletions....I will  get to the point soon where I actually have to read the emails and not just delete them based upon the senders. My arm is getting sore but it is worth it!

On to my next email address for cleanup. I have deleted, many by clicking on each one, over 4,000 emails today and will continue until down to a decent level.

Does cleaning up your email count? I hope so! I'm embarrassed to reveal that I deleted over 6,000 emails! Yes, they accumulate so fast....
down to the basics and unsubscribed to many. Feel so much lighter.

Harder today to comply since the TV was on in the background beyond my control which normally it would not be turned on at that time of day. So although I wasn't watching it, I could hear it and could not help but see it fleetingly. But at least I still did not read while eating.....

Haven't read the paper while eating which was my biggest distraction. Trying to experience the food via smell more and savor it.Can't say I'm eating mindfully quite yet as I still eat too fast. Working on slowing it down.

So far, have not read or watched TV during eating since the challenge began. Some days better than others with the de-cluttering but did major work yesterday and hope to continue at least a little bit everyday and get into the habit.
