Ok good news is, i completed eating mindfully!!! Every bite, lick and taste was eaten sitting down, without distraction, except for dinner. We had DH"s Mr. Hottie Friend over for dinner, so i made my famous pork roast, potato, broccoli, corn and multi grain croissants. Not to mention Super Fun Salad lol
Anyways i stayed within my points (omg what a light food day i had lol) and it was quite delish:)
I ate mindfully.
I wrote out my Response Card "Do It Anyway". I have one on the fridge. One on the treadmill. One in my cards that will be in my bag at all times.
I read my reasons for wanting to lose weight this morning, and just now (after dinner so i don't munch anymore)
Whew, a good Beck Day, a good W.W. day ..a good Lisa day!!

Day One and Day Two
Day One was an easy one. Pick a diet, and then a back up diet for when and if that one gets boring, I plateau etc. So I chose Weight Watchers Flex Program and then Weight Watchers Core Program for down the road.
Day Two will be interesting. Every single bite, lick and taste of food must be eaten sitting down. Mindfully. With no book, magazine, no computer, no music, no tv. Heck one of the meals says no company LOL!! Now, I already did this once last week, but i'll do it again Sunday just to make sure i'm doing this right and not skipping any steps.
I also need to make my own Response Cards so out come the infamous index cards and markers lol!!
Here's to a Mindful Day!!

Beck Diet Introduction
Hi there!!
I've started this blog to help me in my weight loss program. I am currently following Weight Watchers, both online and with meetings. I find I am learning alot more "this time around" then I ever have before. Things like exactly what to eat, what a portion is, how many points different foods actually are, the amount of exercise I need to lose weight...All very important stuff.
As I was reading different threads, I noticed alot of talk about the Beck Diet Book. "geez, yet another diet" i thought to myself. "Hmph. Wonder if Oprah is screaming that this is The Answer as well"...Then I really started reading this threads and it got me thinking. I know what to do physically. I know what to do when it comes to the nutrition side of things. But what about my worst enemy?? My mind. The one that nags at me to have a cigarette 24/7 even though I quit almost 2 years ago. The one that talks me out of going to yoga classes, back to school, on the treadmill. How am I ever going to conquer and shape up the largest muscle in my body?
So I am giving it a try. I have both the hard cover book and the workbook (a bit of overkill but i thought you needed one to have the other so i ordered both lol!!)
To be perfectly honest I bought them a couple of weeks ago. Started last week. And got hung up on the first take in the hard cover book, making Advantage Cards. Otherwise known as the list of reasons you want to lose weight (see side bar for the list). I don't know why that one was so hard. I got hung up on needing 3x5 cards. I let it pass for a day, two, three..then my friend Jennie msn'd me :
J: "did you go get those cards yet?"
me: no
J: why not?
me: i got busy, i got on the treadmill and now im all sweaty and stinky and will have to take a shower and get dressed etc etc Its no big deal i'll go tomorrow
J: no. go now. right now. call me from the car.
me: LOL are you INSANE!! Even you wouldnt want me going out like this right now (she's my fashionista)
J: put on a cap. Go. Now. I'm calling you.
And sure enough, for some odd reason i'll never understand, i put on a cap and went out to the car. All stinky, and smelly and Jennie called, and i went to biz depot and got pretty index cards and a holder.
And they sat in a bag with my Beck Books for a few days. But now my desk is clean, and organized, and my books, cards, sticky notes, pen and pencil are beside me. I'm ready. Let's do this.
