  • Hey @KerrideeRN and @grissy_barria :) i do production laundry for a food company. Me and my husband both work nights together it sucks but he is a supervisor. I take like special k bars and fruit cups because its a pain in my but to bring actual fruit and veggies to work. Do you girls cook before work or eat out every night?
  • its hard for me to cook at home i usually work a 430-1230 shift so when i get home i sleep and wake up at 7 to take my 7 year old to school by the time i drop her off i usually go get breakfast somewhere and go back to sleep till 2 then i eat a snack then pick up my sunshine by 345 so it sucks i never get to cook i usually just take oranges and chips or crackers to work to munch on and occasionally buy more snacks at work

  • I work 12 hour night shifts as a nurse. I bring PB&J sandwichs, bananas, yogurt. We have milk and juice at work so I eat alot of cereal. Sometimes we order out pizza or someone go and gets fast food. Not always good but I do take out 30 minutes of my night to power walk around the hospital. I've gained pounds and im 22 weeks.
  • 8 pounds
  • My husband trys to cook sometimes before work. But we usually end up eatting wawa or chinese food :( i dont know how much weight ive gained but im really tired of fast food! I eat oatmeal at work and i eat special k bars and lots of grape tomatoes! We start work at 5pm and we dont leave until like 2 or 3 am 6days a week ugh i hate my job :( i feel like i dont have a life. Its probably going to be really hard to find a babysitter with the way we work, ive never heard of night shift daycare...it would make life easier if that existed!
