Super Bowl Sunday... and I'll be stuck @ work... :((

Boo to having to work alone! :)) I am an ER nurse and usually work by myself the last 4 hrs of my shift in triage which is why I turn to the message boards and crystal light energy! I love coffee, but I only love it if it is so sweet it could cause diabetes so I try to avoid it. lolol The key to night shift is self-control…

Some friends from work and I switch up workout programs and share them in a locker at the hospital's gym (ie: Brazilian Butt Lift, Slim in 6, and P90X). I usually workout immediately after work and try to be in bed by 10am to get 6 hrs of sleep. Since some of us have different schedules even on our days off we meet up…

:smile: Would love to be in Maui!! It's 4:30am here and time is dragging! I pull 84 hours over an 8 night span, but the benefit is 6 nights in a row off. The last two shifts are the hardest. One more night to go after tonight is over!! Can't wait! lol :smile:

Friend request sent! :smile:

Hi, I didn't check your diaries, but I thought I would share some things that I did to help get my weight loss jump-started, so to speak. I am one of those people, that anything "white" (ex. white bread, white rice, potatoes, pasta, etc.) and sugar causes me to gain weight like crazy. I have done the south beach diet twice…

Thanks for posting this topic!! I never thought to ask on here, but I have been struggling to find a good sports bra! So tired of having either the uniboob or ones that allow flopping around! I have gotten some great suggestions from this thread!! Thank you!!

I totally understand how you feel! I try to stay awake all the time when shifting off for a stretch. I usually crash in the afternoon and end up frustrated when I wake up b/c I have missed spending time with my husband (he works days). I try to rationalize staying up by thinking how I don't want to "lose" a day off.…

Southern Sweet Tea, Crown Royal, any white breads, and cereals that have loads of sugar.

I'm about to try the brazillian butt lift! Can't wait for it to be delivered! :) I must say that when I was in great shape and went to the gym I liked Body Pump @ Gold's...so much fun! Now, the program is out on DVD! It is by Les Mills and called Pump! I did not enjoy, nor complete insanity due to it being too hard on the…

I changed my food diary to have only one section called "my foods" simply b/c my life doesn't fit around breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I work 7p-7a in ER. I consider the start of my day when I wake up whether it be 2,4,5pm and the end of my day when I go to bed (8,9,10am). I bring light and quick meals (some prepared in…

Just an FYI for anyone: I bought Insanity and sold it to someone else. It was definitely not for me. It is a lot of football-training moves (going from standing to being down in push-up position, back to standing...) which is great if you are in somewhat good shape, but hard on the knees/joints if you are pretty…

I have ALWAYS been a procrastinator which has driven me to poor food choices. I completely understand not being able to eat on some nights working 7p-7a. Hope this helps you with some food/preparation ideas: I usually plan to eat right before work (ex. grilled chicken, turkey burger (no bun) b/c we hit the ground running.…
