No More Late Night Snacking in 2020 -- September 2020 Challenge

edited December 2024 in Challenges
If you haven't seen this challenge before, let me brief you about it:

We started this thinking: "Looks like I'm self-sabotaging by munching/bingeing after dinner" or "Mhmm... I'm kinda doubling my in-calories at night".

What you have to do to change the way you feel about your eating at night:

- decide what late night snacking means to you (could be either bingeing, if you're inclined to it or simply eating anything at all after a certain time; some may find that having a healthy snack after dinner is perfectly alright and be upset only when they go overboard)

- report in the thread. We post by the formula:
Me: X vs. LNS: Y,
where X is "how many evenings you stuck to it" and Y "the times late night snacks won". You may want to also add a * to the latest number. Feel free to also post streaks of how many days (in a row) you've managed to be free of late night snacking

It's as simple as that. Or as complicated , as you will discover. Nevertheless, the persistence and good results of some of our "old" members (and some people keep coming back) show that the battle is worthwhile!

Have I touched a cord? Then: You are welcome!

    Not a great start to the month - I guess I broke the good habit I had! *sigh* On the upside yesterday I ran for the first time in months (due to all the cycling I usually do) and while I posted a decent time I am sore!!!

    My goal is no snacking after 9pm. If that fails, my “hard line” is not exceeding my daily calorie limit because of it.

    June: 85% 🥈
    July: 84% 🥈
    August: 94% 🥇

    This is so difficult for me. I will try harder. I wake up in the middle of the night hungry. 😆

    Legs are still sore and had some left over cream of mushroom soup. UGH - I feel gross.

    just joined, and all of your experiences are mine! I'm not hungry but my brain hynotizes me to the kitchen.

    Felt OK being back at it, but I need more sleep and maybe a new nutrition plan...

    Yesterday's run was reduced to a speed walk due to a sore thigh from Monday's run. And then I did yard work until dark and today my calf on the other leg is stiff. *le sigh*
