Small Steps
A journey of a thousand miles begins with
a single step.

I started to write that I would be focusing on the basics this week:
- track what I eat
- schedule exercise time in my day
- keep portion sizes reasonable
- eat a good breakfast
- get more fun & play into my day
- go to bed at a reasonable time
And then I began journaling my desired outcome -- back to my healthy BMI of 160# (I've been fluctuating at 3 to 7 pounds over it). I noted that 160# isn't really my desired outcome but getting back to the behaviors and habits (see list above) that make that number possible is what I want. I started with tracking what I eat and asked myself what would that do for me? As I wrote I realized that one of the reasons I overeat is to feel full. And one of the reasons I want to feel full is so that I feel my body; that I connect with my body. And immediately I acknowledged there are much better ways of connecting with my body than by overeating. I could do yoga, meditate, 5 minutes of breathing, get a massage, or any number of things. This week I will be focusing on connecting with my body and playing with all the ways to make that happen.
What will you connect with this week?
