Snacking late at night
If you get up very early (I get up and go to the gym around 5:45 am) then you are too tired to even be up around 9 pm....you will just want to sleep Smile

Trust me, that works.

Having a cup of tea helps too.

Sore Muscles
Hey all! I am really working out hard....and have just started the Atkins Diet. I have lost about 70 pounds in the last 12 months and I have about 35 more to go...I have been in a plateau for quite a while now, and have been frustrated....(about a three month plateau).

So, I have decided to start a new plan and then up my excercise regiem. However, I have been feeling very sore in the muscles lately....

I run on a treadmill about 45 minutes. (alternating running and walking) or I might go on the elliptical trainer or bike or do an at home video AND every other day, I will do weights. I usually work out about 6 days a week. What might I be doing wrong?
