Here’s how a lack of mindfulness will bite you in the rear, calorically speaking: This morning I was halfway through my traditional Cheerios and frozen blueberries when I noticed how truly excellent they tasted this morning. Upon reflection I realized that instead of swimming in 2% milk, they were immersed in half and half.
I certainly did not intend to pour half and half on my cereal, I just wasn’t paying attention.
The moral of the story is, when preparing breakfast, simply prepare breakfast. One thing at a time.
Carry on. As you were.
