Nice to *see* you again Kari!
Isn't it great that your body is giving you *reminders*...and that you are paying attention!
Do you have a plan for getting that breakfast in before work? Do you keep or reread past posts? I remember when you were thrilled about having breakfast before work...the pretty table setting...how good you felt!

: Have not been here in a while and did
: not make ranch this year. I feel
: all out of sorts. I need to try to
: make a point to get connected
: again. Maybe set up homework for
: myself every night for 30 minutes
: and read and respond.
: Meals have been really light lately
: and I think that has been a major
: issue. I take my breakfast to work
: with me and it sits un eaten or
: half eaten. I eat lunch at work (I
: say eat but I mean pick at it and
: end up throwing most of it out). I
: have the ability to come home for
: lunch but only come home long
: enough to let the dogs out. I need
: to make it a point to stop
: everything and just eat.
: I did not think I was feeling too
: bad. I have been having a little
: bit of an issue concentrating but
: not having any issues with getting
: angry (like in the past) but I
: also don't have any stress at home
: and not much at work. But today I
: noticed that when a coworker sent
: me an email that critiqued
: something I just lost it (thank
: goodness in my office alone behind
: closed doors). But I was able to
: set back and go - "Woa -
: Settle down you are not upset
: about what she wrote. And no you
: don't hate her! Take a look at
: your breakfast sitting there
: uneaten - that is what your issue
: is." My Coworker knows about
: my food. So later that day I
: approached her and said "If I
: come across angry or defensive the
: next several days I apologize. I
: need to get my program back on
: track"
: Today was an eye-opener for me. I
: remember feeling like that every
: day all day long and I don't like
: it. I need to get back into eating
: breakfast before work. Coming home
: and eating lunch at home. Dinners
: are normally good. Still working
: on quality right now. And again my
: journal is no where in site. Back
: to step one. Back to reconnecting.
: So I guess this can count as homework
: for day #1.
