Motivation Monday
Q: What is the most important thing you personally do to stay motivated? - Jane
A: Personally it's all about P.M.A. - Positive Mental Attitude. I constantly surround myself with inspirational and positive messaging. I wear t-shirts and necklaces with positive quotes. I have inspiration on my cell phone, on my computer screen. I constantly remind myself and my family - glass half full tastes better than a glass half empty! Even on my worst and laziest days - I'll listen to an inspirational song or look at inspirational quotes and bring myself back to the P.M.A.
Q: Does eating after 8 p.m. (or late at night) cause you to gain weight? - Andrea
A: No - eating at any time of day is fine depending on your lifestyle, daily schedule, etc. It's really about how much you eat everyday -too many calories end up being stored as fat. However, the reason most diets tell you to NOT eat at night is because that is when the majority of people consume the most calories for reasons other than hunger. Typically in the evening people are more vulnerable to exhaustion, boredom and emotions. Also - it's the time of day that folks veggie out in front of the TV mindlessly consuming junk food. Also - if you eat too much at night, you may end up skipping breakfast due to lack of hunger or guilt and begin a cycle of poor eating habits.
