Mindful

So today is day 4. Even though today was not a run day on my program I did run. I am anticipating running into some time issues tomorrow morning as my 15 year old and I have to be out of the house for an event by 6:30. I figured I needed to get the 2 miles in and at least this way I know I did. If I find time tomorrow morning I can still do something without neglecting my miles. Proud of myself for that!
The issue that keeps coming to mind for me today is mindful eating. One of my biggest struggles is eating without thinking and binge (stress) eating. I am not bulimic. I have never binged and purged. But, yes I have certainly binged. I know my triggers and am working on working through the feelings rather than numbing them. Its a difficult one day at a time process. But, I am working. Today's issue is a little different though. I am going out to dinner tonight and then we have barbecues and events the next two days. I like to use my tap and track app on my iPhone. Its hard to find a lot of what non chain restaurants serve. I just have to go in with some guidelines and not eat the whole plate. Then there is tomorrow and Monday. BBQ and parties. I have to really work on being mindful. I don't need the potato chips I just eat them because they are there. I have to stay present. That is hard to do. I just have to remember to keep my goals in mind and keep the potato chips out of my mouth.
