Hello Dolly! (hee.) I'm having an okay day. I'm tired because I started reading Brian Wansink's Mindless Eating last night. He's the one who came up with the bottomless soup bowl and the stale popcorn experiments they demonstrated in ICMYT. I couldn't put it down!
I've had problems eating consciously, but that's more because of my husband being out of town and having to try to eat when I'm watching our babies. Seriously, that is one big issue I'm going to continue to have. I can never just sit down and enjoy my meals when I also have to make sure the two kids get fed (I still have to feed the one-year old myself), pick up sippy cups a million times, etc. You'd think that alone would at least force me to slow down my eating, but it usually forces me to shovel it in because I end up feeding them first and then run out of time to eat. Anyway, that's what it's been like this past week. Now that my husband's coming back, I hope that I can slow down more.
I'm in a hopeful mood. I'm so relieved about selling the house. I hate my current job but I'm interviewing for a new one next week (and let me tell you, I'm already able to just let things go at my current job that would normally eat me alive). I get to go away this weekend by myself. I'm just looking forward to being able to breathe deeply and slow down a little.
If I don't get to check in again, I hope everyone has a good weekend!
