Today I grabbed a cup of hot herbal tea versus my usual sugar free decaff swiss mocha. It is my way of reminding myself I need to heal instead of indulge. I am not quite sure what that means but I want to explore learning this. I believe I see food as a cure all or maybe something I deserve when things go wrong in my life. I don't believe I have ever thought about using food to help heal my mind and my body. I do know my body felt much better when I ate a healthier diet and has not felt great since I went back to the sugary carbs. I am mindful with each sip of tea, the warmth it is putting inside my body, how it is soothing my sore throat and nasal congestion. I am hoping it will help me to get rid of my headache.
 I plan to have a protein bar or drink in an hour and I have a greek yogurt in the fridge that I can eat for a snack. I need to put together a shopping list and go to the grocery store. One step forward...going to keep looking forward.
