12 hour shifts feel so long sometimes...after work blues...

I am so proud of myself! Normally after a LONG 12 hr shift at the hospital, I have no desire to cook or prepare anything. The thought of this group however made my stop at the local fruit stand and grocery store. I made a fresh fruit salad for both work tomorrow and for the house. I cooked up local grown angus ground beef with cremini mushrooms, ref pepper, tomato, garlic scape and onion with a bit of homemade pasta sauce (farmers market) and cooked some whole wheat yolk free noodles. Add some yogurt and I now have all three meals for tomorrow at work. :) 


I still need to work on eating before I leave the house. I wake up at 0500 and have no stomach for anything foodwise. I drink water or tea and that is it until 0930 or 1000 at first coffee break at work.


I will really need to work on portion control and precooking and making my meals for the work week. I will also need to work on figuring out night shifts. Eating is not easy as you don`t have structured breaks like on a day shift so it becomes either none existent eating or constant eating.
