I dont know what is going on tonight but i'm right there with you guys....I just ate reese pieces :ohwell:

my husband made chocolate chip cookies that have been calling my name all night.

Your on your way!!!

Thanks lynz... Better late then never... Been a little while since I checked the thread, I have just been getting on and logging.... Welcome to all the newcomers. I didn't expect this thread to get so big when I started it... I guess us overnighters needed our own thread. Hope everyone is having a good night.

It is getting big! I always felt so alone at night...now Im not, its great! We need our own website...myfitnesspal, vampire version

I'm new to the site as well. I am a police officer and work all sorts of weird shifts from days, night and mids. Needless to say my body doesn't know whats happening.

Betsy14 I tried the HCG drops and they did work until I started eating again then I gained every ounce back right away plus it was really hard to stick to. I am doing a lot better just by watching what I eat, planning ahead for the week, making the meals on my day off and putting it in the freezer and working out every day.

Every chance I get I do something lunges beside the car when I'm running radar, push-ups on the trunk what ever. It helps me stay awake and I get a little workout in at the same time

Welcome to the thread! I do workouts at work too..mostly lunges and squats, and I have a resistance band here

Hahah LOVE the idea of a vampire edition! I check this thread so much at night, I had no idea how comforting it would be to know that there ARE other people who work this schedule

Oh and Lee and Allie I totally get the food at work thing. A woman made cookies and brought them into work.. It was SO hard for me. Especially because she makes the most amazing cookies you'll ever taste. 10 hours in one room with a huge bin of cookies was just like hell for me. I tried to ignore them but I coudn't and I didn't have just 1, I had 2. Probably 3. I kept going over and breaking off pieces ahah so in the end I probably did eat like 3. I need to come up with a better solution next time. Bringing other food in doesn't work for me. I just eat my food AND the cookie haha.

I'll have to work extra hard at Zumba tomorrow to work it off.

I never really check for support because I feel like I'm in my own boat but how amazing to find this!

I work as bartender and nanny and I'm a student sooo I get about three hours of sleep every morning and random naps when I can't keep my eyes open. Unlike most of you I work nights four times a week but also days five times a week so I'm a day/night scheduled worker.

It's horribly hard to have any energy to workout....how do all of you motivate and get it done?

tabika, you'll def find support here, so welcome!! for me, the best thing is having a schedule, not just for working out but everything. work is set, fine.. i go home, sleep, get up early afternoon, then either work out right away or eat something then work out..then it's done and i have the rest of the time free until later on, when i give myself quiet/nap time before work. granted life isn't perfect and things get mixed around a lot, but as long as you kinda plan out your day, i think you're more willing to make time to get things done.

and yes i did have the ice cream, with sprinkles on break haha.. it was delicious... i'm off friday night, so i'll be able to recover from the first day of TurboFire lol..
