It's three hours past dinner, not long before bed. Also known as the hour of snacking. There have been days when everything has gone perfectly up to this point only to have a 400 calorie binge just before bed. Is that sparerib in the fridge calling my name? I hate to go to bed hungry. Need to hold out for about another hour.

I'm trying to be consistent about taking care of myself. I have two goals: one is to lower my cholesterol. Part of the plan for lowering cholesterol is to lower my weight. I'm about 24 lbs over my BMI max. I'm lowering my cholesterol by eating heart healthy oils more and lowering saturated fats, trans fats, and also by taking supplements such as niacin, Vitamin C, E, D, B complex.
My second goal is weight loss for its own sake. I want to be down to 190 by June 30 (4.5 months). I want to be in better shape when I go for my annual hike with my sister in August, plus I want to lose the paunch by the time we go to the beach in July. So that's 26 lbs in about 135 days or about 1 lb each 5 days. Not an impossible goal, but one that will take consistent dedication.
Two years ago I lost about 18 lbs over 3 months by tracking my food consistently and also getting out an running. So I know the plan works. The problem is sticking with it, especially after I start to get close to my goal. That's when I tend to "reward" myself, and slack off on the exercise. Pretty soon my weight is creeping up again and I can't find the motivation to do anything about it.
I know that there are two areas that cause me to fail in my weight loss attempts. The first is snacking, usually on the way home from work. I have a long commute and I'm usually hungry, so I want to eat long before I get home for dinner. The best way for me to deal with this is plan ahead. I need a healthy snack to eat at the end of work, so I don't feel like eating on the way home.
The other area is lack of exercise. I can go for a short run on my lunch break most days, if I choose to. That way I'm capable of a longer run on the weekends. Recording the exercise helps, plus keeping it up regularly helps me feel much better.
