1st world problems

Currently sitting in my room and a little bit hungry. 

I have a strong urge to cook up some stuff but I can’t because family is sleeping and it’d make too much noise.

I can’t wait to move out and have my own space and privacy where I can be loud at 1am or 3am or whatever time I want. And not be kept awake during the day when I need to sleep.

Can’t sleep (hello, #nightshiftproblems) so here I am, snuggled on the couch with a cat, listening to Edge of Seventeen with my honey ginseng tea and Star Wars fanfiction. This is some sort of mood but hell if I can define it!

*wakes up with a headache* Better leave the lights off cause it hurts. *falls back asleep continuously* I can't wake up without the lights on TwT

That awkward moment when you have to be awake for 36+ hours and your calorie count resets at midnight so your first meal of the day is lunch at work at 1am and now it's 12pm, time for the second lunch of the day, and your calories are pretty much all eaten 😐...with at least 8 more hours to go in the day. Any other night shifters have this problem?

The Grazer is at it again...

Grazing again! I wonder how other nightshifters are making it during their shifts.  I am sedentary at my job and between 4-5am I am struggling to keep my eyes open.  I’m just wondering how other people are getting thru their shifts.  I am a sleep tech so my patients (on a good night) are sleeping.  And I wish I could join them. 

I don’t want to move.  I am doing everything I can to keep my eyes open which includes putting food in my mouth, scoring my studies, chatting up my co-worker and putting more food in my mouth.

Grazing

It's been a very long night. I've been grazing all night and it has not been good. Because I'm tired and can barely keep my eyes open. I can't believe how many calories I have eaten. And I wasn't planning to exercise. I can definitely see how this can lead to weight gain. I can definitely see how changes need to be made ASAP...

Happy Saturday

My yesterday was a different day for me due to coming into work for an extra shift. I did get up and walk for 3.22 miles....it took me 50mins.  I am proud of the fact that I got up and moved this body 3 times this week. My scale broke so I have not been able to weigh myself.  I think I am going to wait until my doctor’s appointment next week.  I am interested in seeing if there are any changes from last year. 

This week was better than last week. I’m proud of that.
