Day 19: I am choosing food that fuels my body with ease.Remember to check in at each meal, ask yourself before-  how hungry am I? Does this food fuel my body? Is this meal balanced with nutrients for a strong body and mind? How will it make me feel over time? Remember we can choose food that fuels our bodies with ease and joy.During your meal remember to take a moment to be grateful and to take your time… slow down.  When you are ½ way or ¾ of the way finished with your meal, check in again.  Where is your hunger scale at now? Are you still hungry or do you need a minute for your mind to connect with your belly?  I think a lot of the times I think we might over eat on accident, we are in a hurry and just getting through the meal to be on to the next thing. Work, laundry, family, friends, dogs, whatever it may be.  Slow down and check in. :)  Today’s Journal Prompt: What are some meals you enjoy that fuel your body? What are some ways to make choosing nutrient rich foods easier? Are there any new meals you’d like to try to make this week or weekend? Today’s meditation:  Take your time to find a comfortable position, taking a moment to stretch out any areas of your body that are holding tension. Stretch out your neck and shoulders, your back and your hips, your legs, arms, fingers and toes. Unclench your jaw, relax your forehead, close your eyes and take a deep breath in and out.  I am choosing foods that fuel my body with ease I love taking care of my body and mind, giving it what it needs.  I find, create and choose meals that are nutrient rich.
