I tried hard to refocus every time my mind wandered. I felt a pain, like the beginning of a headache, at the place that's referred to as the third eye. That space between and slightly above your eyebrows. I didn't know what that was about . . .probably a result of trying too hard to meditate. Trying too hard to make meaning of sensations in the body rather than just being present.
In the world of diet and fitness, I've been breaking my elliptical into 10 minute segments and doing it three times a day. I also bought 3-pound weights which I've been pumping during commercial breaks while I'm watching TV. Food is going well. Since making the fruit rule, I haven't been snacking after 8pm.
I am a perfectionist. It hurts to make mistakes. My fear of making mistakes often prevents me from even trying. I downloaded a coloring book app on my phone, but I find - just like coloring in real life - I have a hard time even opening the app because the fear of "doing it wrong" is overwhelming. I think that makes it even more important for me to get into coloring.
Stay tuned for weigh-in day tomorrow!
