<\/a><\/p>\nI’ve mentioned before that weekends seem to be the hardest time for me to stay on track.\u00a0 And this continues to be true, but I have also discovered that I have a second “hardest time” that I need to battle through every day.<\/p>\n
It’s the dreaded “Evening: 6:00 – 10:00<\/span>” I can stay on track pretty well throughout the day but after supper I get munchie<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 You know what I mean.\u00a0 I just want my mouth to have something to chew… chocolates, popcorn, chips, cookies, etc, etc, etc… And it’s never the healthy food I crave.\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 It’s the stuff that I can’t seem to stop pigging out on.<\/p>\n So, I’ve started drinking herbal tea after supper.\u00a0 (I can’t have caffeine after 4:00 so it has to be something caffeine free or I’ll never get to sleep.)\u00a0 My favorite right now is Peppermint Tea, but I picked up a sample pack the other day to try some new flavors.\u00a0 I’m still working my way through them, but so far none of them top Peppermint for me.\u00a0 The nice thing about tea these days is that it’s nice and warm–which is nice.\u00a0 Especially this past\u00a0 week when we were stuck in the negatives for days!\u00a0 Plus it’s an extra glass of water in my day, which is so much better for me than a handful of chocolates!\u00a0 It usually takes me 10-15 min. to finish a cup and by then I usually have my resolve back or am not quite as hungry anymore.<\/p>\n I’m not generally a tea drinker (I prefer coffee in the mornings) but this has helped me continually get through that dreaded time of day–as I’m hoping it will continue to do!<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve mentioned before that weekends seem to be the hardest time for me to stay on track.\u00a0 And this continues to be true, but I have also discovered that I have a second “hardest time” that I need to battle through every day.
