    Emergency RN from Canada, here.

    I'm really concerned about maintaining my healthy eating habits and fitness routine when I return from my maternity leave in June.

    I think I will feel like super woman if I can maintain/lose while working shift work :smile:. Especially if I can do so while eating healthy meals, giving needed love and attention to my family, and maintaining a clean home!

    I'm a labor and delivery nurse. I work days this job, so I think that helps a little bit with eating on a more normal schedule. I feel that my job is pretty active, moving epiduralized patients, moving beds, a lot of time on my feet. However, I wear a fitbit and it is eye opening that I'm not hitting the 5 mile goal regularly on my shifts. I have been taking the stairs up and down, offering to be the runner to go get blood, etc. I also pack breakfast, lunch and snacks and prelog them into MFP if possible. Then it is easier to turn down the sweets and snacks that linger in the break room. This week is nurses week so I'm sure there will be some extra temptations!
