We tend to eat more at nights to keep the mind from getting tired. This happens because no matter that we switch our days and nights by either staying up and then getting so tired we sleep, we sleep so much the day we go in at night we won't get that tired and will be tired when we get home. Most people get up in the morning so between 5 and 8 am. Go to work do our daily things. We come home between 4 and 6 pm roughly then go to bed between 10pm and midnight. It all varies on our own personal bedtime and wake time, but those are rough estimates. When we work nights we go to work between 7 and 10 pm and work until 6 and 9 am go home tired and sleep. Some wake up, like me, by 2pm and do stuff, workout etc. or they sleep until 6 pm or even later. They get up with enough time to make something to eat and get ready. Those people sleep more based on their schedule being at night. I can't do that, but I can easily switch between night and day where others are more rooted into their circadian rhythm.
I think the only thing that is messed up is my nutrition. I don't feel I am eating too much, in fact, I don't think I am eating enough. I am close, but I am missing a few things the last couple of days and it's because of my wacky schedule. I hope I can get that nailed down too, but it will take some time. I haven't missed a workout yet and that includes the yoga. The last day I posted was the 10th that was Thursday. Friday I did Cardio Fix and Yoga Fix. Saturday I did Dirty 30 and Yoga Fix. I also did a cheat meal of popcorn and raisinettes at the movies. My dinner was salmon, broccoli and salad with some cottage cheese, so I did really well with that. Sunday I only do Yoga and that is all I did. I also started my night shift routine.
When I came home Monday, I was beat. Exhausted from head to toe and covered in 10 years worth of dust. I just went home and got in bed. I got up around 3pm and did my workout Total Body Cardio Fix and Yoga Fix, which was kind of surprising that my feet were not killing me. They hurt constantly being on them so much. I worked all night last night. I had a much better night last night, but still my dogs were howling when I got home. I did some grocery shopping before I left, but I was still home by 8am. I made my shakes and went to bed. My shake is the only thing that I am not right with. I use it as a recovery drink, and I drank mine this morning and then went to bed. I didn't have a recovery drink after my workout now and I hope I don't feel it later. You get the best benefit of it within the first hour after the workout. I will have to work out this food schedule a bit better.
Ok so for the good news, haha. I have been doing the 21 Day Fix now for a little over 2 weeks. I have 5 days left in this first round and I am down roughly 18 lbs since starting. That is 18 lbs in 16 days. This program works and it works well if you are consistently persistent. Don't give up on yourself. You only need one more step to keep moving forward.
