Mindful eating

I went to a company-sponsored lunch today about "mindful eating". Sadly, I did not really learn anything I did not already know. The problem, I realize, is that knowing is only so useful. If you know it and ignore it.....how is that useful?

Today was a good day for food. Unfortunately, my workout was not as long or intense as I would have liked, but it was something...and I have a plan for an early morning. I feel good and I am focused and pushing hard.

Weight: 150
Physical Activity: 2 miles walking the dog, 5 miles bike commute, 20 minutes weights.
Calories: 1500

"If you know it and ignore it.....how is that useful?" Love it ... can you picture me full-on ignoring this at a happy hour, hands covering my ears, saying "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA ...." 'Cause I sure can.

I know it's a struggle (because I have similar issues), but I have confidence in you that one day your eating cravings and wine at night wishes will naturally morph into a healthier ability to say "no" more often, just like you so naturally do exercise right now as a daily routine in your life.
