So, for whatever reason I keep seeming to hover around the 155-158 range. I'm blaming this on the fact that I'm at school, often exhausted and 1) don't go to the gym and 2) don't stay at the gym as long as I should. Couple that with the penchant my program-mates have for eating out (But it's Weeeeendsday! Come to margarita night!) and you can see where the LBs are coming from.
It's frustrating to stick to a diet and workout routine. I think I'm going to spend a large amount of time scheduling out my weeks this coming weekend. This time to this time do _____________, for dinner, here's an option.
Most of my cravings and fallbacks happen after I get home. So if anyone has alternatives to late night snacking, I would greatly appreciate the share!
Oatmeal can be one of your best friends. I mean plain oatmeal. There are lots of variations you can do on it and it is pretty filling/low cal. Celery can be good as well since you get a lot of crunch/chewing time out of it. Anything you add to it will downgrade the snacking value of it. You could use some peanut butter but I would put down a measured amount on a plate/bowl so you have to ration it out rather than mindlessly scooping it up.
ReplyDeleteAlso take a look at why you are eating. Are you hungry? Are you eating b/c it is sitting out and are bored? Or are you actually thirsty. If you are thirsty it can actually make you feel hungry. Life is cruel like that.
