I know I'm not alone in my struggles to keep my hands off the refrigerator door when I'm home alone! I am not even hungry but the temptation... The temptation... The temptation.. Haha.
I've compiled a list of things to do instead of eating that will move me closer to my goals:
1. Work out. Yup, that's right. Positive energy being created instead of eating my weight in carbs until I want to nap! Doing some piyo, yoga, going to a walk, even planking for 60 seconds is enough to get my mind off food.
2. Personal development. I'm always working to better myself and there are so many inspiring books out there! Gets my mind in the right place and refocuses on the positive goals I have set for myself. I'm not much for meditation, so this is as close as I get to my 'happy place'. If I don't feel like reading I'll check out YouTube which is also a hotspot for inspiring videos!
3. Play. I have two adorable pups and a crazy cat who I don't get to spend enough time with. Keeps my heart happy ❤️
4. Clean. My wonderful husband does most of the cleaning in our house. (Luckiest girl in the world!) But there is always more to be done! I am not a cleaner, but I do like doing house projects and rearranging decorations! Keeps the house looking good and my hands out of the cookie jar!
5. Meal prep. So if I can't keep myself out of the kitchen I might as well meal prep for the rest of the week! This is the best way to stay on track and have quick healthy meals and snacks to grab in a hurry. I am currently following the 21 Day Fix which is awesome if you need help planning your meals and staying on track!
If I still want food after all of this, I guess I'll eat an apple
