What's on your menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

it depends on the instructor, but yes - I've been to some Aqua Zumba classes that are much more intense than regular water aerobics classes. The water resistance that comes with water fitness classes (not just Aqua Zumba) supposedly gives you a better workout than you think you're getting...

dangit I just deleted my post on accident!!

I had a whole thing written out!

anyway...the weather in Northeastern Illinois is pretty much the same as Canada lol...ice storm last night but thankfully it's not the kind that froze in a solid sheet but more like pellets so it wasn't slippery this morning.

QOTD: my snacking is always worst at night...that is when ALL my cravings happen and I have no self control...so I just made myself the same rule about not eating after 7pm. I can be 100% on plan all day and at 9:00 I decide to just forget all the rules and eat whatever I want...no good!! Last night I had a cup of hot tea and ordered a bunch of different flavors on Amazon so I am going to make that my new late night snack!
Nipping it in the bud before it becomes my downfall!

B: 1 big cup of coffee w/ 1/3 vanilla premier...finished that on my way to work and stoped and Dunkin for a large iced coffee...won't eat anything probably til lunch
L: crab stuffed flounder w/mixed veggies
S: L&F greek yogurt, maybe a Pear- I brought it just in case but may not want it.
D: Cheesy Ranch chicken cauliflower & broccoli bake

Have a great day everyone!

In the past have you planned for your evening snack? That has always been key for me - if I didn't have a plan for it, I would go crazy, but when I had it logged in MFP, I could stick to it.

Just another strategy thought if the eating after 7pm doesn't work for you.

I have tried planning for the late snack but I often still end up eating more than I should. It's a slippery slope...
I think I am just one of those "All or nothing" type people. I don't have a lot of gray area when it comes to my eating, and I know myself well enough to determine that if I just say NO eating after 7pm and make it a hard rule, I will be more likely to succeed.

Figuring out what works for YOU is the most important thing! I love that this thread gives us lots of ideas to try and strategies to go to when the times get tough. Fingers crossed for the no food after 7pm rule!

I am an all or nothing person as well. No eating after 7 PM works for me and then I just focus on getting more no calorie liquids in.

I suspect that a high percentage of us here on OH are all of nothing types. We tend to be perfectionists. A little of this is good, but it can easily work against us. For instance, I spent years chalking up a dieting day as ruined if I had a cookie, and so I figured I would just start over fresh the next day. Then I ate the entire bag or box of cookies, "to ensure they wouldn't be there to tempt me the next day". Lather, rinse, repeat for years! All or Nothing can be a slippery slope when misapplied.

Good Morning! Our weather has been all over the place too. Highs near 70 degrees a few weeks ago, rain last week, and now we have freeze warnings.

As soon as I get a freezer again, I'm going to try the artichoke poppers. I hope I can find them here!
