    Stressed a little today - would like to take tomorrow off from work for a mental health day but I work at an hourly rate so anytime I don't work, I don't get paid. I used all my PTO earlier when I went to Atlanta to visit my brother his wife, and my two nephews. The younger nephew Jaxon was on America's Funniest Home Videos this past weekend. Although I have seen the clip several times, I still laugh and smile. I skipped the ice cream tonight but had some crackers and peanut butter instead after my cut-off time. Tomorrow is another chance to succeed!

    Peace,
    Jeff :/

    There's enough nights left this month that I think I can beat LNS. I am already looking forward to next month's challenge.

    I am logging early today. I know I will not do any late night snacking tonight so I'm claiming the victory.

    A lot of times when I think I am hungry, I'm actually needing a nap. A short nap (20-30 minutes) puts things back into perspective. I mistakenly think that if I eat something, I'll have more energy. In fact, if I just power nap or meditate, my so called hunger is gone and I feel rested, ready to take on my activities for the evening.

    WE CAN DO THIS!!! B)

    Peace,
    Jeff

    No excuses, staying strong! Just wanted a snack! My trick: I take a big old glass of water to bed with me and sip during the nite...I think someone else mentioned that too. That and being tired after a good workout with my trainer

    Yes I agree this isn't easy. Just to think, my wife thinks there is no benefit to me being stubborn and compulsive.

    My twins made cupcakes after school and tonight at 7:30 (half an hour after my cut off time), I was in the kitchen and took a spoon and had a nice taste of the icing...and then I noticed the time!!!!! My son said that if I'm going to mess up I should be doing it with something better than a spoonful of icing. He's cheering on my husband for some reason and thinks it's great that my husband has 0 LNS. Next month I'm going for zero!!!

    LNS 5*

    I woke up in the middle of the night to find that my partner wasn't in bed. So I went to check on :D him and discovered that he was eating something because he woke up and couldn't fall asleep. Without thinking, I immediately grabbed something to eat also. Then it started, I had a little bit of this and that, then before I knew it, I had eaten a whole gob of calories and I wasn't even hungry. I logged it all with this morning's breakfast so I know I have to put in some extra exercise to make up for it.

    I need to "Stop and Think" before I just start eating. Maybe if I log it first, I will have second thoughts about eating. In fact, I know if I pre-log all my meals for the day (including snacks), I'm more likely to stick to the game plan for that day. Something to work on...

    It's a beautiful day today in Vail, AZ so I am going to do some work outside in the yard. Just to be out in the fresh air is rejuvenating in itself.

    Have a super day today, everyone! And stay STRONG!

    Peace,
    Jeff

    Weekends are definitely the toughest for me. I just did the grocery shopping this morning and have more free time in my day. Prelogging and keeping active are my saving grace.

    Even though LNS has pulled into the lead, I don't feel bad about it. The last three nights, there was no mindless junk food snacking, the food had purpose! Two nights were healthy snacks to satisfy actual hunger (I have a 3 month old, and don't want to mess with my milk supply). The third was social - went to a friend's house and had some fruit salad and a delicious passion fruit dessert he made. I enjoyed it thoroughly!

    I am still confident that I will win the month!

    I did it again last night - woke up in the middle of the night and went crazy eating. I still measured all that I ate and knew at some point that this wasn't going to be good. I wrote everything down but I need to log it on MFP at the time I'm doing it - that should put on the brakes after a few entries. One session of LNS does not define me and I'll do better today and tonight!

    Finish the month strong, everyone! :)

    Peace,
    Jeff
