21 day lunch challenge
I am participating in Vegetarian Times 21 day lunch challenge. I usually already eat healthy for lunch, but this just further lends itself towards my goals for being more mindful of what I'm eating. In addition to eating a healthy lunch, this challenge wants you to get 30 minutes of exercise daily - even if it's just a 30 minute long walk. And also to set aside 10 minutes for meditation/centering yourself.
During these 21 days, I've also decided to be vegetarian. I've been eating entirely too much meat lately, and I need to detox my body from the meat. Again, this is due to my attempts at intuitive eating. I need to get back to a point where I can really tell when my body is actually craving meat.
The eating part is going well. That's the easy part for me. I've been about 75% thus far for exercise, and only 25% for meditation. I would really like to make it a habit to set aside 10 minutes in the middle of the day to center and ground myself. It really makes me much more at peace with the world.
Lunches Thus far (I eat the same thing for lunch sometimes):
Szechuan Black Eyed Pea Salad
Kale Cloeslaw - I used kale rather than collard greens, and I also added orzo to the slaw to make it more filling and passable as a meal.
