    Being that I am starting my one of 6 in a row, I find that I tend to feel all out of whack by the end of the shifts. I then get the pleasure of flipping back around to days. I think that I am getting way to old for flip flops - just saying.

    It is easier to just stay on one...Hopefully it wont be too brutal on you

    I created a "Work" area in my diary. Then I log Breakfast when I get home under breakfast, and dinner. I normally skip lunch. I workout before coming to work most days...sometimes after. Just depends.

    I just log midnight to midnight. Typically have 2 meals a day. Once at work and once at home. Exercise wise I do it while at work when it's not busy. I am able to get away from my desk for 30-40 mins to go walk/jog and 3-4x a week after work I'll hit the gym in the mornings.

    I log on a 24 hour basis. I have my diary set up into 6 4 hour increments.
    8am-12pm
    12pm-4pm
    4pm-8pm
    8pm-12am
    12am-4am
    4am-8am
    I just log my food in whatever time slot I eat it. As long as I stay within my calorie goal for that 24 hours, doesn't matter when I eat it. 24 hours is 24 hours. My diary is open if you need an example.

    As far as when to exercise, do it at a time that you'll stick to. I find it easier to go after work because I'm in too much of a lack of sleep fog to do it before work. Others find it easier to go before work.

    I agree, and being able to see recent posts on my profile. But I did learn how to find all your recent posts.

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/30038662/#Comment_30038662

    So instead of just going to recent posts, I have to type in http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/profile to see recent posts. What a pain. I want my recent posts button back.

    I used to work at a facility that did that. Not sure I could handle working every single weekend with my kiddos at home, though.

    You got that right, and doing a 12 tonight when I normally work 2nds on Sunday, makes it that much slower.

    No comment. Because what I would say would get me suspended by the mods. Jealous.

    Bad night for pets. Still surviving but I don't know for how long. You really shouldn't run over your puppy with the truck. Don't assume he will move. Just get out and get him.

    People can be so thoughtless. I could not do your job. I love animals to much to have to deal with all you have to see.
