Today was a very busy day. Normally it would have been very stressful for me and I would have described myself as a chicken with her head cut off. However, today I did something different. I slowed down on each task that I did. I took my time, savored the good in the tasks and therefore, no stress.

I left work later than I ever have before as I wasn’t quite done with all my paperwork and data entry. And it was a messy day, so I needed a shower too. I finished my work and took a nice thorough shower. Slowing down allowed me to fully enjoy what I was doing.

When I got home, I actually had more energy than I normally would have after a busy day. I did self care and made a delicious dinner.

I recently upgraded my calorie tracking app and so I have new features. I linked my Fitbit app and now I get credits for exercise and calories burned. I burn a lot of calories at work so I am excited to see more accurately what I should be eating. Sometimes I’m starving and can eat everything, and other days I’m not really interested in food. I love data and trends so I’m excited for all these new things I can see. I also got a great deal on a lifetime membership so now I can use it forever. I find it’s nice to use to keep myself accountable.

I’m so grateful that we can track foods so easily and see what nutrition is in everything we eat. The world is a marvelous place.
