Hello! Maintaining and Working Two Jobs

theoneandonlybrookie

Hi Everybody!

I've been using My Fitness Pal for quite a well without utilizing any of the Community features. MFP is a fantastic tool. It's time to come out of hiding and connect.

My story: I was very thin until I unexpectedly got pregnant with twins my first semester of graduate school. Actually, I struggled with eating enough and exercising too much all through high school and college. When I got pregnant, I went on bed rest for 8 weeks and gained 85 lbs with them and it took me two years to take it off using the pay site Calorie King. I successfully finished my master's degree and maintained my weight by recording everything for 5 years and running and then decided to have a third (and final!) baby in 2009. I gained 65 with her and once again lost it all with Calorie King.

Now I'm just in maintenance mode for the rest of my life...

I record what I eat almost everyday.

I still run 4 times per week and lift 2 or 3 times per week.

Right now, my biggest challenge is that I'm working full-time as a librarian and also as a cocktail waitress 4 to 5 nights per week to earn some extra cash. Often I only sleep 3 or 4 hours. The second job is great because I get to put my kids to bed but it definitely puts a hurtin' on my workouts.

Anyway, nice to meet everybody.
