So I accidentally found a great way to stop evening overeating...
It's spring break here, and a busy week at work for DH. So the only time I've been able to get to the gym is in the evenings, 6:30-8:30 (the only childcare time when they take kids over 5).
It's been awesome! I've had to change how I eat dinner - now I have a mini-dinner around 4:30, and then another mini meal after the gym. I'm also not feeling the same bored/need to snack in the late evenings. I'm making healthier choices and am not as hungry.
I'm also sleeping better.
If I had known how well this works, I would have switched my workout times years ago!

Re: So I accidentally found a great way to stop evening overeating...
When I read the subject, I saw "overheating". I was so confused when I read your post. lol!
Glad to hear you found something that works for you! A friend of mine does something similar for her evening work outs.

Lol, I read it as "to stop overreacting" And I thought, "I overreact, but I wonder what this is in reference to?
To the OP, I agree, that is a great way to curve night time snacking!!
It's a GIRL!

yep overreacting here too!
I like night workouts too, and agree I am less likely to "bored eat" after.
I wish I could do that b/c I think it would help with my night snacking as well.
Alas, if I work out past 6, I'm up sooooo late.
Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!
