    Question: It seems like the general attitude (not from you guys, but I hear it a lot) is that it's harder to lose weight doing night shift, but I've honestly always found it easier, for some reason. What's been your experience?

    Night shift helps me keep from grazing. It's too easy to head over to the fridge or cupboard when I'm at home. At work I pretty well only have access to what I pack with me. The 7-11 is open but there's so many things I can't eat (celiac disease) that it isn't too much of a temptation to go there. The stuff I can buy is also quite a bit more expensive than regular grocery stores. Also I have an active job, so I get more exercise during shift than time off usually.

    Another possibility riffing off of Bex's comment.... Maybe people are forgoing sleep to have more day life. Insufficient sleep will cause weight gain too.
    Edit because of that darn autocorrect!

    I've been really lazy the past week. Packed my gym bag and left my BP meds at home so no workout today :angry:

    I started c25k, immediately threw out my back, then came down with a nasty cold, then had a ridiculous number of complications getting my work and school schedules sorted out last week. So, planning to get back to it this week. Also, looks like I'll be starting work tomorrow! Yay!

    You're not nosy--I didn't even realize I hadn't said! I'll be a security guard at a construction site.

    Haha, good for you! Are you stuck in an office looking at CCTV or are you on foot around the site as well? What's your PPE? Hardhat, steeltoes reflective vest? I always liked the construction sites. Kinda like an obstacle course in the dark, by flashlight.

    I'll be outside, and can walk as much as I want, and do homework! No special protective gear, I think because I'm outside the gate. I might get steel toes boots anyway.

    Some nights it is good to be slow. We are able to catch up on a lot of housekeeping things like going through stuff to see what needs to be sterilized again since it's been awhile.

    Well mine went from uneventful to dead, if you get my meaning. I hate listening to a mother sob bc she found her son deceased... :heartbreak: I don't miss having to take those medical calls one bit.
