Make sure you get some decent quality protein and healthy fats in with your evening meal. That will help with the munchies.
A Honied Broiled Salmon Fillet, or maybe Some Greek Yoghurt with Berries and Honey for dessert?0 -
The weekends are toug and so have the Olympics, watching more than doing sport. I try to do a burst of exercise weekend mornings to help balance the rest of the day and tell myself I earnt it.

My best friend and I are such bad influences on each other. I've been a bit more successful than him but for some reason we can't help but get Coldstone... or hit up a local cupcake shop... After we get a gigantic burrito. It's got to stop!!!0

totally get it!!!! I have the same problem and to fight it, I have posted this quote around the house to remind me NOT to grab something to eat, just because.
The quote is from Jon Gordon, motivational speaker/author and a great guy;
"DISCIPLINE AND GREAT HABITS TURN WHAT YOU WANT INTO WHAT YOU BECOME............"
Love it!!!
Good luck0 -
What I do is I set cheat day every now and then. It helps keep on track and calm my cravings so I don't cheat.0

I had implemented a "free" day every sunday on the weekends, b/c i'm so strict on myself during the week. That was my motivation for every day i was on plan. Man i want an effin cupcake! I will have one on sunday lol.. however i was getting more lax on my weekends and it would end up starting friday.. ending sunday night.. so i think that really killed my losses since i was losing what i gained over the weekend every week.
this weekend was the FIRST weekened that i stayed on plan the entire weekend and was able to successfully log a loss. i think you need something to motivate you to want to do it.. then u do it.. my motivation is my cruise coming up in less than a month.. i decided to go a whole month with no free days.. you can do it.. or just allow for a day to put logging calories and dieting to the side for a break...0 -
Even when I know I'm eating more than I should for the day, I always keep track of exactly how much I'm getting. That way I can adjust the following day or two to even it out. One day recently I went over my goal by about 800 calories, but averaging out over a few days I was right on target.
Or if I know ahead of time that something "big" is coming up (maybe we're having a party at work, or there's a special event coming up at an Italian restaurant), I can adjust a day or two ahead so I don't even need to feel guilty during the event itself because I've already compensated for the cake, ice cream, or lasagna that I'm enjoying now.0 -
I weigh in on a Friday so that whatever happens on the weekend I have some time to try and rectify it - weighing in on a Monday would not be a good idea LOL
I'm trying to go dry for a while - I drink socially a lot. A crazy amount. And I gfigure while I am revved and psyched it would be good to cut out the empty calories. Not forever, ohhhhh no, just for a while. I went for a chinese meal on Saturday and ate myself stupid - I think because I didn't feel bad about it and enjoyed it it meant that Sunday was ok, no guilt and back on it.
Of course I am in the first flush of 'isn't being healthy BRILLIANT!' - ask me the same question when I have been doing this for 6 months+

I kind of have it the other way round. I'm as good as gold at home but struggle in the week in an office full of McDonalds and cake eaters. I'm a trainer so there's always a stash of biscuits talking to me too :-/0
