New Rules

In general, I've been good this holiday stretch. And certainly, I've exercising more. However, before this, I had been struggling with late night snacking/binging (binge-ing?) when Pat would go upstairs to bed first.

Today Pat left for a three-day trip to Northern Indiana, and I don't want to blow it. In fact, I'd LOVE to post a loss right after Thanksgiving! So for the past couple of days I've been noodling on strategies that will keep me from sabotaging/overeating at night while Pat is gone.

Here is my plan:

1. Once the girls are in bed for the night, STAY upstairs! Play on Facebook, shop on line, organize my closet and new dresser, plan for Key West, read, etc. Don't go back downstairs.
   
   
2. Bring a cup of coffee and a glass of water upstairs with me.
   
   
3. Don't go back downstairs!

Any other ideas?
