5/7/2013 Spark Coach Challenge

Well, the Spark Coach challenge for today is to not eat after 7 pm. Wow! Do they really know how to hit me below the belt! I almost always have an evening snack. I don't eat a lot of protein in the evening, because it is suppose to be better to eat a small carbohydrate snack. If I have the calories left, I do eat a small snack. The bad part is that is when my sweet tooth wants to be satisfied!! Usually a non-fat candy or my dark chocolate...if I have fat left for the day. This is the only way I can keep it to one sweet treat a day. If I eat sweets during the day...then I crave them all day long. If I wait until evening, I can have one serving and then be satisfied. There are times when I will have some fruit. It will either be fresh, if I have it. Frozen or canned is my next options.

So, since I don't blog in the evening I decided to blog now and I will have to report if I was able to not eat after 7 pm tomorrow.

I did take 2 walks today and did a load of laundry at my friends where I have to go up and down her stairs several times. Good exercise. What Coach Nicole would call NEAT exercise. Basically it is exercise that doesn't count as a work out, but adds to your movement for the day. (Let me know if I am wrong about that!! Pretty sure that is what she meant by that.)

So have a great day. Hope you have sunshine and warmth in your neck of the woods!!
