My work days are that long because I am a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner that works for a large medical group covering several NICUs in my area. I work a 24 hour shift in whichever NICU I am covering for that day. We see patients, do medical procedures, go to deliveries, admit patients, etc. I am available for the whole 24 hour hours for that day. I do have a call room where I can take down time when I am not busy. Generally work 2 shifts/week. Hahaha you can see why I said it is sometimes difficult for me to post daily

That is crazy, I would be so sleep deprived all the time. I have a had time maintaining sleep in general though. It must be nice to have five days off a week though!0 -
@Italian_Buju It is amazing what a person can get used to LOL. Actually even when I am home I dont sleep more than 4-5 hours a night anyway. The days off make it work. I went into work Thursday morning at 7am...left to go home at 8am Friday and I dont have to go back until Tuesday morning. 0

I earned 8 points yesterday and i have 70 points total
trying for 200 points this month and i will buy myself a new pair of jeans from someplace fancier then walmart. So for January's 16 my goals are:
1. Log and measure all my food
2. Hit my protein goal
3. Stay under my sodium
4. Drink at least 3 of my water bottles worth of water
5. Spend at least. 20 minutes on physical activity
6. Limit myself to 2 diet pepsi today
7. Stay away from carb/junk snacks
8. Go to bed before 11 no electronics.
9. Work on blanket for 1 hour
10. Spend half n hour doing something with my son outside
That sodium gets me every single day, almost triple the recommended amount
