Here is a suggestion someone gave me: sit on my balance ball when I am watching TV with my husband for 1-2 hrs each night. This does not take the place of my normal workouts! But at night, I sit and eat when I am bored (or I am tired and eating to stay awake and watch tv!) If I sit on the balance ball, I am watching tv, but still "active" and either bouncing or trying to stay balanced. I don't think about eating as much. REALLY! It works my core and also my thighs. Bouncing helps to get some extra steps on my pedometer! (My husband says it makes him dizzy. Tough!) When the weather isn't so cold, I go take the dog for a 20 minute walk before sitting in from of the tube, which helps. But on nights when it is too cold, sit on your balance ball and not your recliner! You can actually get several thousand steps on your pedometer from bouncing and you feel it in your thighs!

I am great all day with exercise and eating healthy. At night in front of the boob tube is my biggest challenge. So this is just one tool that has helped me. Hope it helps someone else. I also sip herbal tea at night with no caffeine. That also helps.

Anyone else have any suggestions? I am all ears!
