My Schedule Now

I have been thinking a lot about my lifestyle. I have a pretty set schedule and the way I do things which is pretty toxic to my body.

2:30 a.m. wake up (3 days a week)
5:30 a.m. wake up (2 days a week)

3 a.m. or 6 a.m. breakfast usually consisting of two pieces of toast / two eggos / two of something!

4 a.m. or 7 a.m. start work

6 a.m. or 9 a.m. -- snack time which is usually a granola bar

9 a.m. or 11 a.m. -- lunch time -- my early shift is either a bagel or a donut ... my late shift is usually a sub or fried chicken, sometimes chinese

12:30 p.m. go home if I work at 4 a.m. and I usually have lunch at this point which can be anything under the sun from a sandwhich to french fries etc

When I get out at 12:30 p.m. I usually take a nap because I am exhausted from work! I usually sleep until 4 - 5 p.m.

5 p.m. or 6 p.m. is when we usually have dinner depending on when DH gets out work

8 p.m. snack time which is usually something sweet and very unhealthy like ice cream

9 p.m. or 10 p.m. bed time

I leave very little room for exercise in my daily routine and I eat more meals than necessary with my 4 a.m. shift because I am essentially "awake" from 2:30am until 9pm (even though I take a nap)...


The foods I eat during the day aren't the healthiest either as you can see from what I described above. I am usually hungry again by 6a.m. because the toast does not fill me and hold me over. The granola bar does help until I can get to my lunch time but then I eat crap. It's hard to make healthy good at work because we don't have a kitchen assessable. I really need to bring my lunch in order to have a healthier meal at those times.

My dinners aren't terrible and usually include a couple of veggies etc but I don't get enough fruit into my diet. I am not sure why but it doesn't seem appealing to me. I just can't bring myself to gnaw on an apple. I know these would hold me over longer and not be too many calories...

Oh the changes that need to be made...
