Renee, working around food is TOUGH!! Can you eat during your shift?? If you wait until 10 PM you'll be STARVING and you'll eat whatever is fast & easy - usually full of carbs! The only way to head that off is to eat a protein based snack BEFORE you get really hungry. Can you eat a handful of nuts or some sunflower seeds or some string cheese while you're on the go?

Summer is coming - will that make things easier for you?? I hope so!

Keep the faith, Renee! As long as we don't give up, we're still in the game!

Hi thanks doe......and yes, it is very hard! working around food. but, I have actually been doing alright....
I have my days however, I mean we do have access to all sorts of food all the time. Like BREAD....... we give italian bread to every table so its there us whenever we want it!
But I have been skipping it.
anyway,
I had a good and bad day, bad, because I did not eat until about 5 oclock when I got to work.
I was honestly so busy, as I was driving to work, I realized that I hadnt eaten!
So I got there and asked the chef to make me a cheese burger no bread.
I ate that and a salad with blu cheese.........
I worked hard last night but rather than eat again when i was done I waited till I got home and had some spinach dip with LC tortillas.......I did have a cookie...... hubby and kids made cookies and they were ont he table whenI got home, I couldnt resisit!

So far today, I have only eaten once again I do plan on eating later again.I have just been so busy, yard work and backyard projects!
So I ate about 4 oclock, I had sausage and peppers and a salad, then I had an atkins ice cream bar........

NOW, exercise, I have not gotten on my treadmill in about a week.
It is so hot now and I have been doping so much outside work and back at work, I dont seem, to have the time!
I am literally so tired.. the next few days will be hell as well!
I am working the next four days and daughter is getting her cast off and I have to chaperone 2 school trips! UGHHHHHHH till tomorrow

I cant even begin to remember all the crap I ate....... but it WAS indeed all CRAP!
thats not the worst part of my weAkend, thursday, I had a seriously bad allergic reaction to what?, I really dont know all I know is I thought I was a goner.
I drank a diet pepsi and a corona one with lime one with ,lemon both of which, I have had before, and had to be rushed to the hospital! then again on friday night, had another reaction but much milder........
anywa, I am up a few pounds and have not expercised in about 2 weeks!

Keep up the good work Renee,

It's ok to slip up now and then, as long as the good days outnumber the bad days. I too, used to semi-unconsciously eat junk all day, junk at work, fast food on the way home, cookies or chips at night...then I'd wonder why I had heartburn all night and couldn't sleep.
Since I've been trying to eat healthier, I notice much less gas, bloating and heartburn. I think eating smaller amounts more frequently is helping...and at night I try to eat minimally close to bedtime.

Good luck on your continued journey!

Renee, today's a new day!

I'm happy to see that you're eating more than once or twice a day. For a while there I was worried about the small amount of food you were eating.

I definitely think you should count your work as your exercise for the day. There is no need to do any other exercise on your workdays. Maybe you can just try to get on the treadmill or take a walk on your days off.

Now that summer is here, is the pace of your life slower? I hope you're finding some time to just sit back and relax and recharge your batteries. No need to try to beat the Energizer bunny - you just can't keep going and going without some down time. Pack up a picnic and take the kids to the park or something!

Hope today is a good one!
