my journey to a better me

I’m done beating myself up for the last week. It happened. I am disgusted with myself. I accept that I overate almost every day, and tI accept hat I paid for it with my weekly weigh-in today. Time to move on.

I was on vacation last week. I didn’t go anywhere, but I had a week off of work, and that might have contributed to my lack of structure with eating. At least on days I work, I know that I will eat on plan for at least 15 hours.

Today, I am back to work. This week is not a normal workweek however. I have three overnight shifts in a row. I’ve never done three overnights in a row before. I leave at 530pm and get home at 830am. Problem is, I tend to eat on a normal schedule during the day, and then I want to snack at night because it’s impossible for me to go 15 hours awake without eating. That’s 24 hours of eating. I don’t sleep much at all when I do overnights. You would think I would come home and sleep during the day after, but I physically cannot make myself do that. I try my hardest, but I might get 2 to 3 hours at the very most. That’s about 6-9 hours of sleep between Monday and Thursday. That doesn’t exactly help weighloss either. I am not making excuses. I am just pointing out that this is going to be a big struggle. A challenge. I am ready to kick butt though. It can’t be worse than last week!!!!

Ok … gonna go pack up dinner and healthy snacks for tonight. I’m thinking a Lean Cuisine, an apple, a 60-calorie fat free yogurt, and a 60-calorie sugar free pudding. I need to eat something every couple of hours. It keeps me awake. Those choices shouldn’t top more than 600 calories. That goes okay with what I have already consumed today. I’m back, and I can still meet my goal by the luau. I know I can!!!
