Oh yeah my options are open as far as dinner. I do that at home most of the time. At work I have access to a microwave. Breakfast is fairly open as well but I normally get hungry but I like for it to be done as soon as possible so I don't eat too soon before going to bed. Thus normally eatting on the drive home.

A typical day of the graveyard shift worker drone. 4:30pm Wake up drink a diet soda and a have a snack of some form. Get ready to run errands or have a typical evening. 9:30pm eat what most would call dinner before getting ready for work 11:30pm start working Generally have another diet soda through the entirety of work. I honestly did the worst food wise during work but I recently switched over to carrying little 90 cal breakfast bars and having about 3 of those during my shift. I try to avoid it but I have a cubicle neighbour who is big on tossing about candy as well. 7:30am Get off work drive home and either do something fast food or similarly bad for "breakfast". once home read web-comics and blogs. 9:30am I try to asleep by this time. Thats about the typical day.

I love the idea of the "Lvl Up" the the logo an info on the back.

.... at least that was the plan I've been trying for almost a decade or so... hasn't worked too well. I was surfing the net all night (I'm a midnight shifter, so that is only half as bad as it sounds.) and I happened upon the site and have been coming back and forth to it all night so, I decided to sign up for the Rebellion!! I've spent the last seven years since the first go at college slowly getting more and more out of shape. I've looked around me recently and I've honestly lost almost all signs of physical conditioning. Its going to be a whole lot of one days but I really like the one day at time philosophy I keep reading about here. Numbers wise I'm a broad framed 5'7'' and currently tipping the scales at almost 285 pounds. Granted I'm not exactly a typical build but that excuse is part of what got me where I am. Im currently shooting for a healthy 185-200 pounds depending the on the exact shape I work myself into (When I was trim and lifting weights I was happy at 215 but, I don't have the time or inclination for that kind of body building anymore.) I've maintained a lot of physical strength but my flexibility and endurance are borderline non-existent. Work out and nerd-cred wise, I love sword fighting. However, with a a lack of participation from the people in my area who are willing to spar (Not much of a Ren-Faire crowd in east Texas, and fewer still that want to sword fight regularly.) I don't get to do it often enough to call it a work out routine. Sadly that may be my biggest reason for getting serious about weight loss. That however gets my to my first list of goals and the end of this long intro post. 1. I want to find myself a group of people to talk to as I work on this (Hopefully got that one covered). 2. Find something physical to do regularly enough that I can call it routine. 3. Find a diet that a living on the run, night shift data entry, sys-admin student, bachelor, renfair nut and purpose general nerd can stick to. Hope to talk to you all more in the future. I'll be the guy posting on the wrong side of the clock and taking it one NIGHT at a time.
