I don't have lots of time to type this morning, but wasnted to say that since I have recommitted to ALWAYS sitting down while I eat, I have felt way more mindful of my eating and I have been eating slower. This one is linked so closely to day 3 for me. When I get one, I tend to get the other.
I have eaten lunch at the dining room table two days in a row--something I almost NEVER do when I am home alone. Yesterday, I was headed to the office to web surf or play games while I ate, and I stopped when I got to the DR table and said "No...let's eat here." However, both yesterday and today, I did do a crossword puzzle while I ate so, while I still wasn't eating with no distractions, I think it is a little improvement from sitting in front of the computer or TV.
Goals: 1. Exercise-Cardio: 2-3 walking or DVD cardio workouts per week. 2. Exercise-Weights/Toning: 1-2 weight plus 1 toning workout per week. 3. Food: Increase veggie servings back to where they were. 4. Behavior: Reduce sweets.

I'm bad about this one since all meals at home (if I'm alone) are in front of the TV or PC. I still really enjoy my food and am aware of it as I'm eating it (i.e., not just shoveling it in), but I could be both more mindful and slower.
