7/19 Whole Life Wednesday

We're doing thrusters from the rack today. It's time to get heavy! 
This week's Whole Life Challenge Healthy Lifestyle Challenge is to turn off all forms of media during your meals. The instructions are simple:

1. Do not use your mobile phone, tablet, computer, television, or radio during meals. This means phone calls, texts, email, Google, videos, podcasts, or social media — for work or for play
2. You must do this for all meals — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — to get credit for the day
3. This does not apply to snacks or eating food between meals (e.g. you can snack on nuts while you are on a phone call or surfing the web).
4. You may have non-radio music playing in the room via a stereo, iPhone, etc, but it must be exclusively music.

The Whole Life Challenge folks think this is an important lifestyle practice because. 

"The practices and traditions we have around food can give us energy, connect us to our community, and even define who we are. Our eating practices also have the potential to affect us in negative ways.
​
Given how important eating is to our existence, it’s amazing what short shrift it gets in modern life. It’s never a surprise to see someone triple-tasking – eating, while trying to be with someone at the table, while texting someone else between bites and live conversation.

We eat standing up, settle for fast food, “grab a bite” when we have time, and answer emails while we lunch. We’ve largely disconnected from that which nourishes our body and our soul. And we’re paying the price, both physically and mentally.

This week you will not simply change your “diet.” You will explore a different relationship with food, with your community, and with yourself. You may see what it’s like to have eating play a totally different role. What if meal times were became opportunities to re-energize? To recover? Or to commune, with yourself, with family, or with nature? What if meals were truly the times of nourishment on all levels?

Imagine what it would be like if the time you spent eating fed more needs than just the grumbling in your stomach."
