In the last year I’ve lost appr 30 pounds and am just shy (15 lbs) of my weight goal and am about 2% shy of my BF goal. All was going well until one of my coworkers thought he was Bruce Lee and tried to break a board with his hand. My schedule has gone into a completely opposite schedule- read I went from working evenings and days to working straight graveyards.
I really wasn’t all that worried about it until I was reading about the timing of nutrition in the articles section. So here’s what I’ve been doing, looking to get an okay or advise on changes, since it is a 24 hour schedule I’ll start at midnight and go from there-
Old successful schedule-
0800- coffee- protein shake- gym
1100- tuna salad lunch, yogurt water water water
1300- vegie snack and some green tea
1600- work starts
1800- high protein low carb dinner
2400- bed
rinse and repeat
Now the throw my success out the window 6 weeks in hell schedule-
0600- getting off work grab a nap
0800- protein shake- gym
0930- bed for hopefully 6 solid hours sleep
1530-1730 coffeee, water water water, I’ve noticed I’m really thirsty since starting this schedule
1800- dinner high protein low carb
2200- off to work I go another coffee in hand
0100- cottage cheese or yogurt snack- green tea
0400- lunch? usually tuna and carrots or fruit
So is changing around when I eat what going to have me stop slowly but surely losing the weight? I’ve already noticed my workouts are sluggish and I’m hoping a Spike! in the middle of the night will help that. Not working graveyards is not an option and I’m stuck for 6 weeks at least. I’m so damn close to my fitness goals I don’t really want or mentally need a slide backward right now.
Any help appreciated.
