Hot Topic: My Arch Nemesis

Meet my arch nemesis: the bedtime snack.

Microwaved pear+cinnamon+1/2 cup  PB Puffins

Delicious, no?

I?ll provide some background info: Yesterday, I took a study break and went to see Inglorious Basterds (which was great, by the way) with my friend. Well, that interfered with my normal afternoon snacktime, so I packed a Luna bar and sucked it up.

I got so into the movie, that I never really wanted the bar, and decided I would just eat a snack after dinner to make up for it.

If you?ve been reading my blog, you know that any disturbance in my schedule really sets me off. I?ve certainly progressed with leaps and bounds in this area of my recovery, but still, it can be mentally unsettling at times.

But I told myself, no matter what, I was not going to talk myself out of having that nighttime snack. Here are a few of the useful thoughts I kept myself strong with:

I also recognize that it was basically the change in routine that made me the most uncomfortable, not the eating part.

Well, I enjoyed that snack, and I did not go to bed with an empty belly, OR a calorie deficit?which is healthy and smart.

A few noteworthy eats?Didn?t think I was going to stray from food blogging completely did you?

Thursday Mid-Morning study snack- 100 calorie pack of Cocoa Roast almonds, mini box of raisins. Great combo!!

Sunday Breakfast- banana oatmeal with Maranatha AB (finally replenished my stash!)+Kroger All Natural PB

Sunday Afternoon study snack- 1/2 cup cheerios, 1/4 cup Fruit&Nut mix

Alright, if you read the captions above each picture, you?ll notice that 2 out of 3 were study snacks. I do indeed have 2 tests Wednesday morning: a Behavioral Neuroscience lab followed by Drugs & Behavior?yikes.

Oh yea, AND I?m going to my sorority?s Arrange a Date party Tuesday night. What? I?m a senior, it?s my LAST date party. Ever.

Enough procrastinating, I?m hitting up the books again?Ciao!!
