Okay…last one on the book, I promise. But it was just so darn good!

So, the focus on the last section of the book was making this whole “plan” to mindfully eat fit into your life. This…probably the most difficult part. You can think about it all you want…but actually doing…a completely different story. You with me?

It says to make a daily checklist…

Each day you’ll have three goals (each goal amounting to some amount of calorie reduction/better eating). For example. Your goals may be a trade-out (I won’t have dessert unless I workout), or a portion thing (I’ll fill my plate once and not go back for seconds, or I’ll fill half my plate at each meal with veggies and fruits and the other half with my protein and grains), or whatever you see as attainable and sustainable.

Everyday, you’ll fill in this chart at the end of the day…hoping to have 2 of  your 3 checked off…At the end of a 30 day month, you would have 90 opportunities to reduce your caloric intake.

Being a person who loves charts and statistics and all that (sick, i know), I can just imagine how much fun i would have tallying it all up at the end of the week/month.

Now, I’ve been thinking a lot about this system…and need to really nail down my goals. But, I’m going to try it. After all, what can it hurt. Who’s with me on this one??
