Comments:  Rather late getting started this morning.  Was up late last night and wanted to sleep in.  So glad the kids are off track.  Although they still woke earlier than I would have liked.   I sat and listened to a couple of visualizations from the Gabriel method.  They are doing a 21 day meditation that just started.  You visualize your body working and calling for vibrant foods, visualize yourself the way you want to be.  It is rather empowering!

I track this by completing my measurements every 4 weeks and weighing in weekly. My expectation is to see a decrease of approximately 5 inches per month.

 I am completing my daily trainer workouts, planning my meals, eating as I am hungry and listening to my fullness cues. I get in 10000 steps 6 times a week. I measure my progress with Sunday Morning weigh ins and document it on my blog. I stick to a regular bedtime and use a timer when I am on the computer.  I feel energetic and strong. I Feel good in my own skin.

"Every time you start to eat, check your hunger level.  Ideally, aim for around a level of 3 to begin eating.  If you are at a 5 or above, you are not biologically hungry.  If you are at 2 or lower, you're likely over hungry and at risk for overeating."  Scale and comments taken from the book "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
