    I would definitely food prep. Make a few different entrees/soups to freeze in single serve containers.

    I guess I'm pretty lucky in this regard. I'm single with no kids and I work from home, so I get plenty of sleep. :)

    Ugh, that would be just more time for me to exercise. I don't burn the amount of calories that I used to and I like to eat so.... I'd catch up on more tv on my tablet whilst pacing my apartment.

    I have plenty of time already.
    If I wasn't losing I would look at my logging for inaccuracies in consumption or in calories burned.
    If I had not lost anything at all in a couple of months and was pretty sure about my accuracy logging then I would assume that my calorie goal was too high and recalculate it.

    I'd use the half hour to have a proper lunch break, rather than stuffing a sandwich in my face whilst replying to emails with the other hand, and I'd get some fresh air and stretch my legs. Stress makes me more likely to make calorific food choices, and walking makes me feel much calmer.

    Sleeping.......................because that's when the most fat burned calorie for calorie.

    Doesn't this have diminishing returns though? If you're already sleeping 7-8 hours at night, will you actually burn more calories sleeping an extra hour than being up and about?

    Likewise! In order to have time to get all of my exercise and work outs done on top of everything else, I have to get up at 4:30am several days a week.

    I'd sleep. I'd get some morning cardio in with my hubby. I'd stretch. I'd take a hot bath.
