Worked out 5 days this week. Started out with 30 minutes and 5# weights and finished with 1 hour workouts and 8# weights. Progress! It feels good. Definitely had the sweat going on! Down about 2 pounds. Finding it harder to get the food part under control. It’s harder when I have to work in food intake over my third shift hours. Tried to take small, healthy snacks but they still add up. It’s hard to work 12 hours and not bring anything to eat. Trying not to let the fatigue from lack of sleep factor in. Soldier on. In it for the long haul. There will be some bumps and hills along the way.

third shift is super hard to adapt to. The rest of the world is waking up and you are just going to sleep. It is also the most sleep deprived shift

Aloha, Donna🤙🏼 I joined FS in Aug 2019 and found it can be a great forum for encouragement, support, and tools to find what works to successfully reach weight loss goals. I checked out member profiles and followed those who are consistent, focused, and health minded instead of those who just use FS for a personal diary, popularity contest, or social outlet. You've recommitted to your journey...be encouraged to push through from yellow to green and beyond because YOU deserve your best life! Btw, sounds like you're mindful about work fatigue and the importance of sleep in reaching your weight loss goal😊

DeborahKerr it sure is sleep deprived. I average 6 hrs of sleep per night. It gets tough. It even makes sleeping difficult on my days off.

Acomandr I guess I’ve been on FS for 6 or 7 years now. Like most of the people on here I’ve gone up and down. The thing is we don’t quit. I know I’m not happy when my weight is up there so I keep on working at it. Motivation comes and goes. We learn new things about ourselves and life each day to apply to the journey. Like I said, soldier on— don’t quit. Endure the monotony; relish the victories!

You CAN do this. The best things my trainer gave me were protein, protein, protein. 0.5g per pound of your body weight. And no carbs at evening meal or nighttime snack. For your schedule that would be the last meal before going to bed. Sleep is also super important in our struggle with weight, do whatever it takes to protect sleep time. You've got this.
