    Meetings all day today, but I am providing Chinese food for my department in honor of my parental units who passed last year. Mom and dad would love to feed everyone and its a nice way to honor their memories.

    I took a day off of the challenge checking in, so I could focus on grading, but I still ate mindfully! I think its becoming a habit even without checking in! Yay!
