I have put it off long enough!!! I am sitting here at work eating all kinds of crappy food and feeling miserable. I have registered to run a 1/2 marathon in November and I need to pull my head out of my butt and get myself together.
I did SB several years ago and lost 40lbs. I felt and looked great. I am going to the gym these days but desperately need to incorporate the food aspect into my fitness program.
My biggest hurdle (other than my lack of motivation) is that I'm a night-shift worker. Does anyone have tips on how to manage SB on night-shift?
So...When I wake up tonight to go to work, Phase 1 begins. Day 1 won't be so bad but, luckily, I have the next 4 days off to feel like crap. I know that the first week is the hardest so I figured this would be a great time to start when I'm away from the food temptations at work.
I'm glad to have found this resource and can't wait to hear all the tips and motivating people doing SB. |

there have been other posts from night-shifters along the way. you could try a search perhaps (use "night and shift" without the quotes perhaps?).
But in general, the key is to still try to stick to a schedule of 3 meals and 3 snacks spaced every 2-3 hours apart and use the P1 foods lists and the meal planning template (both linked into the P1 FAQ thread by Kimboroni) to guide your meal and snack choices and combinations. The basics don't really change, just when you eat and how you configure it moves around into less "traditional" time slots for you and you may have to pack more to take with you than some of us. Think outside the box a bit and you'll probably find workable solutions! :) Good luck! |
