Morning Chat
How does my stomach feel – settled, upset, gaseous, calm? Consider and note what I ate in the past 24 hours.
After going to bed sick last night (so much so that I thought I may be having an allergic reaction), today I feel much better. I can sense that my body and I are more in tune, and I really notice how each thing I eat affects me.

How does my body feel, in particular my head (clear, heavy, agitated)? What is my energy level like?
With the events in Japan going on, my head still feels a little chaotic. I think some meditation will help with that. My energy is improving, but I am still a little sluggish–but I could chalk that up to it being a lazy Sunday, too. 🙂

Evening Chat
What was my energy level like today?
Energy was great today, especially in the evening. Instead of feeling tired, I was able to do more–laundry, get my lunch ready for tomorrow, and find time to read and blog. Amazing!

Did I eat anything that produced unfavorable results or favorable ones?
The tangerine kept me full longer than I expected, and the 2T. of peanut butter is completely sufficient–I am realizing that I don’t need much food to keep me full. Eating the tofu dinner definitely helped me stay energized instead of feeling sick or lethargic.

Overall – how do I FEEL?
One week in, and I am feeling great! I have so much more clarity and I am starting to see the lift in energy. I love doing the yoga, and I look forward to a deeper practice this week.
