Babyshams Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I recently started trying to eat right and get fit and what has always gotten in my way before was night shifts. I work 12 hr shifts at a power plant usually 3 to 4 days in a row. And I always do well until night shifts. Then I get too tired to workout when I get home or a fail to prep my meals properly and resort to fast food and it all spirals out of control from there.But I finally made it through 4 nights of night shift without breaking my diet or exercise routine! The next step making it through my short change weekend, going from 4 12 hr days into 4 12 hr nights with only 24 hours in between. Wish me luck. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tinessael Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Congrats! Night shifts are tough! I also always eat a lot during it. But I've come now to eating a lot, but at least healthy. Boiled eggs and the 1-minute-flaxseed muffin are usually my saviours. Good luck on the next one!

Fenshire Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I work overnight 5 nights a week. I find what works for me is that I usually go to bed as soon as I get home, then I feel like I have a whole day ahead of me when I wake up before I have to go to work. I get in my workouts as soon as I wake up. I'm not sure if that would work for you, but figured I'd shoot some advice your way. It's a tough shift, and HUGE ups to you for gettin' it done!

Gilgamelissa Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 That sounds like it'd be really tough, eating well and exercising with that kind of schedule. Kudos to you!
