HAHA!!!! How awesome... Ya know what I do after I get done working out late at night? I uh, watch tv. Loads of fun there. :rolleyes:
What kind of graveyard job do you have? Is it at least something that makes your time go by fast? I work overnights 2 days a week... cakest(not QUITE sure thats a word) job EVER! I read, watch tv, yep. I like it, lol...

3 Days a week I work day shifts (6:30am - 2:30pm) and then thursday and friday I work over night. Mon and Tues this week I was just covering for one of hte other girls who needed a couple of nights off. I'm a pharmacy tech at a hospital here in town. Normally I get to do my tv watching at the gym - they have it rigged so you can tune a radio in to a certain channel and hear the program. It's been so long since I've been awake at this time of night and not working that I have no idea what'll be on when I get there.
 
I have blue screen - when you turn on my tv, that's all I get, a blue screen.
No cable, no basic, nothing!

Thank goodness for netflix!

Hope you have a good day tomorrow :D
 
Thanks, M!

Went to the gym, spent about 2 hours there. Then went and spent 3.5 hours or so blowing $40 on nickel video poker and had something to eat. Came home.

I'm fixing to go take a shower and get some of the smoke smell off, then crawl in bed. It's 5, not too early, I don't think. At least this way I might not sleep until 5pm.
 
LOL I used to live about 150 miles from Reno and we went there often. Your post so reminded me of those days! Have good sleep!!:D
 
Sounds like you had a fun night girl! I don't think I could do the graveyard thing....just thinking about you staying up all night long working out and gambling made me yawn!!! haha

I don't do it very often. Not only do I not have enough money to loose on a regular basis (and I never win), but sitting alone infront of those machines scare me. There are enough people with addictions in my family, including one gambling addiction, that I know I've inherited at least some of that. So all I took was the $40 I planned to play, and enough for something to eat.

LOL. I'm ok if I keep moving. Since I don't do the stay up all night thing on an every day basis, it does sometimes kick my butt.

Thanks! I hope you do, too.

Ok, for breakfast:
1.5 slices white bread (no choice)
About 3 ounces of sliced turkey (white meat)
1/2 cup of mashed potatoes
1/2-3/4 cup of turkey gravy.

Lunch:
3/4 cup Special K Carb Lifestyle
3/4 cup 1% milk

So far I'm at 517 calories.

Last night at the gym I did 30 mintues on the eliptical and 28 minutes on the bike (had to watch the last of Leno's monologue) and burned 745.6 calories, according to Spark! Woo Hoo!!

Today is my regular weigh day, but I didn't do it since I haven't been to the gym on this side of midnight. And now it's too late in the day to do it and get accurate results, so I'll do it tomorrow morning when I go to the gym after I get off work.

Howdy Tx,
Switching breakfast with lunch? Did you feel fuller
I thought about that after watching a story on discovery health
channel on this lady lost a ton of weight by having dinner for
breakfast breakfast for lunch and lunch for dinner and she would
eat at 5-6 am and not eat after 2pm so she had all her meals in
before 2pm that would be very hard concidering I stay up late.
Keep up the great work have a nice day,Tammy

Actually, that's just the way it happened today. I wasn't sure until halfway through my bowl of cereal (out of laziness not wanting to make anything else) how much I had eaten late last night while I was trying to stay awake, so I figured until I'd had the chance to plug it into Spark, cereal was safe.
 
Ok, I went out and got some walking in. 1.8 miles in 37 minutes. Not keeping up with M2M or T2, but not bad for me. That 37 minutes, though, includes one quick stop at the 7-11 for a bottle of water and a bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper. I couldn't have been in the store for more than 2 minutes.

I'm too stupid at the moment to tell how many minutes/mile that was, but I estimated it was a 21 minute mile (since Spark jumps from 19 to 21) and they tell me that was 185 calories. I think it was more, because the last half was uphill and against the wind! LOL
 
BTW, did I mention that that 1.8 mile/37 minute walk was done (comfortably!) in those size 14 jeans that were too snug to wear when I bought them on New Year's Eve???

YEEEHHHAAAWWWW!

LOL. Sorry.
 
Yeah Sparks walking counter thing drives me crazy. But I just go by what they say anyway - I figure, it evens out on the days that I don't work as hard. ;) Yay for walking!!! :D:D:D
 
I had to have a sandwhich. I don't know if it was the walk or what, but I was staaaaarving! So...

2 slices low cal wheat bread
1 tbsp (give or take a pinch) Miracle Whip Light
2 oz turkey breast (98% FF)
1 slice cheddar cheese
100 calorie pack Nacho Cheese Doritos.

So, with the apple I had before my walk, that brings me up to just over 900 calories. Still room for a light supper before work.
 
Sandwiches aren't bad if you're smart with them. You did great! Have a great day!
 
i love Sandwiches :D
I eat them most days for lunch lol :D
Bread makes a nice filling snack before bed as well when im hungry and its relatively low cal :D
 
Howdy TX,
