Absolutely nothing wrong with it. A lot of people use it as an excuse to get out of exercise and also eat loads of chocolate and other treats.

I work 12hour shifts as well rotating 4 days 3 nights from 6 to 6 so I know how you feel. I start my calories from when I wake up in the afternoon and I count my slow release protein shake before bed the next morning as part of the same day.

I have a Spirit commercial grade xtrainer which I've had for over 2 years and is like it was the day I bought it. Fantastic machine and it has Polar HRM technology so syncs well with my Polar FT40 Heart rate monitor. Good choice of programs as well

The only thing I can see is that possibly what you are having for dinner you should be having earlier on in the day for lunch. It is difficult to burn pasta off at night when you are about to go to bed but if you have it say at lunch time you're body can work it off and then have a protein shake at night?
