So close, but still learning good habits.

Hey guys, I'm molly. I've used this app on & off for a couple years & just recently got it back.
About 2 years ago, I lost 80lbs, but gave up on being healthy & was in a really bad relationship, was depressed, lost my job, had some drug problems & gained back about 60lbs. Over the past year, I've lost those 60lbs again! Which is great! Im definitely trying to ingrain really good habits into my routine, so that I don't gain it all back again.
I'm around 7lbs away from my goal weight, so I'm focusing more on learning to maintain my weight with a steady diet. & I sometimes have issues with not eating enough & I definitely don't drink enough water/ drink too much caffeine.
A few months ago I decided to go vegan, & I love it, but it's so hard to keep things interesting & not just keep eating the same foods over & over! But I find new things to make all the time, & I'm eating a lot more fruits & veggies (which I used to never eat). I've also recently started doing yoga again, which I also love. I do it twice a day, half an hour when I wake up, half an hour before bed.
I work 3rd shift in the produce department at Walmart, & believe it or not, my job is VERY active. I burn nearly as many calories as I would during a work out, so atm I'm not focusing on adding any more cardio to my routine.
Now that I've wrote a whole novel here, lol, I'm just wanting to know if anyone has any good vegan recipes, likes yoga, works 3rd shift, is trying to maintain their weight, or has anything else in common with me so we can talk & swap support/tips/stories. Even if we don't necessarily have anything in common, I'm still open to making friends & supporting each other! If you made it to the end of my book, thanks for reading! Haha, I hope to talk to everyone really soon.
