I work from 4 PM 3 AM Monday to Friday , then every other week 210 PM when my work requires OT . Its a struggle but I ' ve found that preparing for the day is what kept me going also note that this isn ' t always consistent as sometimes I get too busytired and forget 1 . Bring the gym bag with me . After work I change my clothes either at the gym or before leaving the office . It forces me to actually go to the gym since I already have the clothesshoes . 2 . Try to have at least one full meal from home . My workplace has a lot of vending machines so its very tempting to have a bag of chips and bottle of soda . I make sure to bring a big lunch that I can split into two so that I ' m not as inclined to go to the vending machines when I ' m feeling peckish . 3 . Have rest days . The first attempt of being healthy I burned myself out by going to the gym every single day and limiting my calorie intake . Take your time and if you have days when you don ' t feel like eating good or working out , take it as a rest day and start again tomorrow . Hope this helps !
