“Let’s turn on the candles, Mommy,” says my 3 yr. old son at lunch today.  I say, “Good idea!”, but think, ‘You could write for my magazine (if you could write)!’ I recently read a magazine article which suggested lighting a candle at each meal to remind you to slow down, savor your food and feel your body filling up.  When we rush through our meals and/or multitask while we eat, we tend to overeat because our mind does not yet know we are full. If we can be mindful, chew slowly and drink or converse between bites, we may eat less.  That, or send your three year old to the bathroom mid-meal. Ha!I did my Yo Yo workout today. It was really good.  I was dripping sweat again after 15 min. (I wonder what my cool Yoga companions thought of my sweatiness in class today?) I ran about 30 seconds longer than last time at my top speed. Again, I wasn’t bored, and it was easy to follow.  I found that at the beginning of the workout I look forward to the “easy” jogging, but by the end, I look forward to the “easy” hill walk.  I like how the workout keeps changing.  Thanks to ‘Jess’ for posting your review of the workout; I’m glad you liked it!
