The evenings are definitely the hardest for me.
I think it's because after dinner I know I'm done eating for the day... and that's a little bit of a sad thought. Since being on this diet, I've been going to bed a lot earlier. Even if I'm not that tired, I tell myself that I need to put a little heart on the calendar ending a successful day, and just go to bed. That seems to do the trick. Plus, I have the added benefit of being on a better sleeping schedule, since I used to go to bed around 1am. But still, I hope that I can get to the point where I have more self control in the evenings, and I don't have to send myself to bed every night ;)
Day 3 was a success. I had eggs and an apple for breakfast. My snack was a couple tangerines. Lunch was turkey meatballs with veggies, and for dinner I had a greek salad at the spicy pickle. And now I'm sending myself to bed :)
Are you a night time eater?
How do keep yourself from undoing your whole day?

Yes...I am a night eater...using the bulk of my calories in the evenings. I know that is not good.
Quick question...How are your calories on the 17 Day Diet? I know the program suggests 17 minutes of exercise, but I am not willing to give up my workouts. Do you consume enough calories to get through a good workout?
I love eating at night. But when I'm trying to eat better or lose a little weight - I stop eating after 7pm. I always think, whatever I eat is going to sit in my stomach without being burned off while I sleep.
Plus it makes me that more excited for Breakfast. Which should be the biggest meal of the day.
Good luck!! You look great!
:)
Jessica- I haven't been counting my calories, but I'd say it's around 1200. I would suggest starting out slow and working your way up, depending on how you feel.
Thanks Cathy! I try to not eat past 7:30pm. and yes- it makes me super stoked about breakfast! ;)
