    Now that I'm off a stretch I have a night at a speakeasy tomorrow, girls night in Thurs and a bachelorette Saturday. I will fail miserably

    You're already setting yourself up for failure. Think positive, set limits, indulge a little but not like you normally would and only stick to low cal drinks! You can do it!

    Just had to spay a dog with puppies. She wasn't spayed and the owners other dog that was three times her size bred her. She has been trying for 24 hours to pass the puppies and can't. We had to go in and take the puppies. Only three out of 7 lived. I took her uterus while I was in surgery so it can't happen again. Now I need to see if I can get a charity group to pay for it because they have no money.

    Good LORD! That's awful! I am a firm believer in 'Don't litter! Spay and neuter your critters!'

    @oneunfitdad WELCOME!

    @Wildcatmom82 I agree with @pco2 Just think positive and set limits. Also, since I can't stick to low cal drinks, I just dance like crazy for a while to burn some calories. :smiley:

    @sufferlandrian Thank GOODNESS. That is major surgery. Poor mama.

    Hope you get the cost thing straightened out. I know vet bills can be expensive. Do you see other critters besides dogs? Like ferrets?

    I work 6p to 6a. I log whatever my first meal is as breakfast. I usually eat around 1p or 2p. If I eat my dinner after midnight (which happens some nights), I go back to the previous day and log it as dinner. Anything after 3 am gets logged on the next day as a morning snack, it's usually no more than 200-300 calories anyways. I try not to eat after midnight just to maintain some sort of normal routine butsometimes I get the munchies :-)

    For me........I have changed my diary settings to show times of day.....I then log my food in the times I eat them....so my log is accurate to times......I work 4 nights a week, then switch back to "normal" at weekends...so my eating pattern is all over the place....the 4 nights at work I eat a main meal at 1am.....so I log it then......it keeps me on track.......my switch days can be worst....eaten at night.,......then at home the next night....so logging the times stops me eating too much that day.....

    Think my Diary should be public if you want a nosey.......(look at timings not food choices...lol)

    My diary is broken up into times as well. I would go even crazier trying to figure out how to log my breakfast (dinner foods at 3 pm) or my dinner ( breakfast foods at 8 am)! Joys of nightshift

    Pretty much if it has a tail and isn't an ag animal I'll see it. I've worked on snakes, lizards, birds, ferrets, wild cats like Bobcats, wallabies and kangaroos. I don't work on horses, cows and goats.

    What a lot of people on the graveyard shift do is set up their diaries by hours instead of by meals... So if I ate at 1am (which, ironically, I did do!) I'd log it in my diary under "12a to 4a". Similarly when I have lunch in a few, I'll log it under "4a to 8a"

    Well... i work night shifts ocasionally... and yes... i use meals... not hours... my diaries start at 6am (6to9, 9to12, 12to3 and so...) and finish by midnight... so, from midnight to 6 am theres a blank space... we all should be slepping by that time. My respects for all the night shifters... its an ugly schedule but someone has to do it.

    Push it out to four hours at a time instead of three hours and you will make it 24 hours. (12-4, 4-8, 8-12, etc.
