Rules for Eating

January 2, 2020

I’ve run across a lot of these over the years. One of them was to eat only when sitting at a table. No eating in the car or walking down the street as it tends towards mindless eating. Being seated at a table draws your attention to the meal which is obviously better for you. And I think you’re less likely to eat too much as well. I’m actually going to take this rule up. I rarely eat on the go, except if I get a snack or coffee while I’m out and haven’t eaten much in the first place. :-P Yeah, time to switch that up.

Which brings me to my other rule: eating. Eat a good breakfast, a good lunch, and a good dinner. What does good mean? Eating enough. Right now I’m eating very little at the table and snacking on crap the rest of the time because I’m hungry. Yeah – not so good. So eating is what I’m going to do. And not worry too much about organic vs. canned and that sort of thing – just eating regular meals. I think I’ll need to figure out the disconnect as well so I can re-think what I’m doing.

So, those are my two rules for eating. I just have to focus on putting nutrients in my body so my cells can be happy and keep going. And that’s enough for now.

That sounds like a pretty solid plan. When you do calorie counting, it's amazing how fast those snacks add up :|

I found your blog when I was googling Richard SImmons's "deal a meal." So random! I hope you're doing well. I related to your bio. I am not a mom, but I was a teacher and my blog is called imperfect eating. Unperfect/imperfect, enjoy your 2020.
xo,

Hi Jaclyn! Nice to see you here and thanks for leaving a comment. I found your blog and will be perusing it later - I saw a few things I can definitely relate to - especially the post about when your life is super effing stressful and everything goes out the window. Can so relate! I hope your 2020 is good and come back anytime. :-)
