1) Fighting Daily Crave time; 2) Fitting in Exercise Minutes; and 3) Giving Yourself Props
Instead of pacing around constantly thinking about what I craved for a 3-4PM afternoon snack, alternately fighting the urge or feeling guilty if I gave in--I'd keep my body busy and do those 20 minutes' of exercises I'd set as a goal.
