Last night as I had no sleep, just tossed and turned all night. The reason for this, not stress, no pain, not lack of exercise...I was certainly tired the reason was because I ate junk before I went to bed. This is the number one habit that I need to break. I have to pack my breakfast and lunch everyday before I go to work and I exercise during my lunch hour. When I get home I cook a healthy dinner but then ruin a days hard work by mindlessly eating chips, microwave popcorn and lounging in front of the TV.
My solution to this is simple. I'm not actualy hungry for chips I just eat them because I'm bored and there's nothing else to do. To curb the mindless eating after 7pm I'm going to start reading at night as opposed to watching TV (unless hockey's on) and keeping myself busy with chores that I would usually put off until the weekend.
Hopefully this will cure my light insomnia and help me tip the scale again. I think this one habit is what's keeping me at a plateau; eating approx. 800 calories before bed and not burning it off.
