Thanks goodness my trainer and I did my pinches today, because my will power in the evenings combines with the scale that won’t budge was getting me a bit discouraged.

I’m down in every measurement and I’m not veering off track too much, so that keeps me hopeful.

I keep trying new tools to help myself stay on track. Since my motivation is high in the morning and I struggle at night, I made a list of things to look at and help me evaluate my choices at night.

Five Tips for Staying Motivated During the Nighttime Hours

1. Remember the Goal: don’t allow set backs, it makes more work, it ruins my hard work during the day, it delays reaching my goal…

3. Distraction: track daily food, plan tomorrow, create/add to a vision board…
4. Incompatible behaviors: paint nails, brush teeth, put on lotion…
5. Smart Choices: choose whole foods, sip something and take more time…

Those are my plans for success.

What are your tools for getting past the nighttime temptations? Do you struggle as well?
