October Challenege Update and helpful tips

Well the craziness of October has begun and this weekend I feel like I held my own! I know that I wasn't eatin' clean all the time, but the choices I made were healthy and I had fun! So one weekend down and much more fun stuff ahead! I feel like my choice of fresh salads with dressing on the side and some delicious sushi was a good choice for all the eating out I did this weekend. I had a few drinks but nothing crazy! I stuck with my 3 drinks tops rule and that was spread over about 6 hours so really I did well. Now the only thing I need to work on is getting enough SLEEP!

With my new job starting and my upcoming vacay I have been thinking a lot about eating clean on the night shift and eating clean on the road. I know that there are other people who have talked about this on the world wide web so I decided to do some research and find some helpful tips that might come in handy. First I will talk about shift work and see what helpful healthy tips there are out there.

On the subject of eating clean on the night shift...this is what Tosca has to say about it.

A: The great thing about The Eat-Clean Diet is that it can be easily adapted to any lifestyle. Plan to eat five or six meals a day at two- to three-hour intervals. This goes for every day, whether you are working or not, and whatever time you wake up and go to bed.

For example, if you are having your first meal of the day at 3pm, then your next meals would follow at approximately 6pm, 9pm, 12am, and 3am. Just try not to eat within about four hours of your bedtime, whenever that is.

Eat breakfast soon after you wake to start your day feeling energized and get your metabolism humming!
