July 2010 - No more snacking after dinner

dewdrop

Day 3 out of 3. I was only off by 5 minutes, but I knew I could do better. So I'll try harder next time .
How's everyone doing?

I made it thru 5 nights in a row and then...I crumbled. Am so annoyed at myself. :explode: Part of it is that I am uncomfortable (neck pain) and can't really exercise and part is just aggravation over my stupidity that I don't eat right and lack self-discipline. I just don't do well when my routine changes. As happy as I am to have kids come home or to socialize, I cannot seem to control myself.
But, I started over last night, so I made it thru my new Day 1. It's something.
Wishing you all a good week.

Gah, I had about 5 blueberries last night... Managed the night before... So Me: 1/Snacks: 1 so far...

To me it sounds like it's You:2/Snacks 0. Unless the blueberries were coated with chocolate and filled with whipped cream.
Glad you joined.

Zaza, I admire how you always get back at this. I also like your honesty - we are only humans .

On vacation this week, just me and my man. But we are eating healthy and running, so I know I'll succeed.

xarra

Me: 3 .Snacks: 0

Well, I did have my dessert (light carte d'or, blueberries and grated 85% chocolate) late last night (around 9.30) but that's 'cause we ate around 9!

Hi-
I made it thru 2 nights in a row. So that's 7 total for me this month. (I am not going to keep track of the evil temptations.)
Thank you dewdrop for your unwavering support. :flowerforyou:

Wow, excellent! Enjoy! :glasses: So your hubs' supportive in this - thumbs up for him.

We had a visitor last night, so I had a small dinner around 10:30. I'll count it due to the circumstances, but if next time's the same, I'll take the point back from me and give it to the snacks. :grumble:

Me: 4 - Late snacks: 0

Stopped eating at 8:30. So it's: Me 5 - Late snacks 0 :drinker:

xarra

I, er, didn't eat tea last night due to falling asleep... And I thought eating at 4am would be bad....

However in my 1st week, I've lost 3.8lb!

So, technically it's me: 4, snacks: 0

zaza54

xarra , very impressive!!
I made it thru last night so I'm back up to 3 nights in a row (8 total for July).

Zaza and Xarra, well done! Keep up the good work.
Rosemary, are you in holiday too? It's not like you to skip a day.
Lorna, looking forward to your numbers, once you're back. Miss ya!

Glad to be part of a such a nice team again :happy:.

Me: 5 Snacks: 0

OK, I had slightly more ice cream than I should... But it was dessert!

We have been eating healthy and exercising, but not necessarily early, so I haven't been beating those late night snackers. But I'll kick their butts when I return on Saturday.

Xarra - Great job. Dessert is a necesity in my household

Zaza - Awesome on the consistency.

Dew, I knew it wouldn't take you any time at all to get back in the game.

Tight, but on time: Me 7 - Late snacks 0

Was on a vacation. Took my grandson with me to our church's yearly family conference. We had a fantastic time, but I did gain 2 lbs, so it's back at it today! It sounds like everyone is doing great!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

I don't know where I am with the snacks so I'll probably start over. Have to think about it a bit. More later

dewdrop

Finished eating around 9, but had 1/2 of peach left which I finished only right before my cut-off time . I so wanted some snack around 11... but I resisted! So it's Me 8 - Late snacks 0

Glad to have you back Rosemary. Are you still on holiday or back to work?

rosemary10

Thanks Dew, worked last night but didn't have time to make a lunch to take in. We ended up ordering out Chinese. I got the hot & sour soup. Then we got busy. Much later I got an EggMcmuffin and coffee after McDonald's switched over to breakfast. (They are open about 24/7 downstairs.) Only poor snacky thing I ate was a small bag of cheetos (my fav). On the way home I went to the Community Center for treadmill walking and got some groceries, then ate lunch. Never went to bed until a nap about 4pm. Got back up a bit after 5pm. The plan is to mow the grass next. Boy is it hot/stuffy here. I'm gonna count Me 2 for last night and tonight. It is all running together for me. Might add the other July days before the vaca later.

Me 2 / Snacks 0

Well, got off the plane at 3 p.m. yesterday and had to run straight to a friend's house who asked me why I wasn't around when she needed me. Needless to say, once I finally got away from there it was already late and didn't even sit down to eat until 30 minutes before my cutoff. So over I went. But I'm back on track today. Going to make my cutoff time 8:45 this week starting tomorrow.

Finished dinner before [q 9, so I am considering to lower my cut-off experimentally - on the exception of the nights when this is not possible for external reasons.
Me 9 - Late snacks 0

Love your profile photo, Lorna - you are so beautiful!
Me 10 - Late snacks 0 (total blackout about when I finished dinner :laugh:)

dewdrop

Dinner time just wasn't my choice, but I will give the point to snacks this time:
Me 10 - Late snacks 1
Not long before I "no more late snack" officially :laugh: (this month was just training).

Thank you Dew.

Thank goodness I set the alarm on my watch as I was going to keep eating and then heard it go off and put down my fork. Tonight, again 8:45.

rosemary10

13 me/6 snacks or something like that.

Dew is right Lorna, That is a sweet photo. :smooched:

Best to everybody for a smash finish to July! :drinker:

17 me/10 snacks

Didn't get to eat until after my cutoff time. Ended up just having a bowl of strawberries, but they aren't sitting well with me this morning.

dewdrop

I won't beat myself up for eating slightly after 9 , so
Me 11 - Late snacks 1

Lorna, feel free to punish the strawberries, but I wouldn't give snacks the satisfaction of getting 1p for that!
Hi, Rosemary :waving hand:

19 me/9 snacks

Alright Dew, you convinced me. I'll take it. This weekend might be a little bit of a challenge as we are going away Friday morning, but three busy days at Bible convention, and NO WORK, so hopefully early to bed for me anyway.

xarra

I failed and had a magnum mini after tea...

rosemary10

Xarra - jump back in there. A little slip up is just a bump in the road; a thing of the past. Today is another new day! :drinker:

LulaB - Hope the strawberries decided to give up on you. Ya want to feel good for the weekend. It sounds like fun.

Hi Dew :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: - Good for you keeping the point. Sometimes dinner is just late. It can't be helped. It's not an unnecessary snack.

Goodnight all :yawn: .
