this is the best time for a lot of fruits and veggies so i eat as much as possible and never feel bad. I keep track of what i eat during the day (myfittnesspal app). helps me not go overboard-- i tend to do that.
i'm not a total health nut but because i gain weight by looking at things, I have to be at least conscious. 3 meals a day and the biggest is breakfast. I try not to eat after 8 pm, although weekends are hard. I try to run about 3 miles a day or 30 min of exercise Even if it's a weak 30 min, it is the thought that counts. You never regret doing it but you always regret not doing it! The most important thing is eating. Food increases your metabolism which helps you lose--it's just about eating the right things at the right times.
i'm one to have my ups and downs and all overs and feel the guilt of the late night indulgence, but make a personal platform for yourself so at least it's in the back of your mind. move forward and not backward no matter how slow that is!
days go by -- so make the best of them!
