I work two jobs with two kids. I am up from six in the morning until two the next morning. I often skip breakfast just because I am chasing them around until they get off to school and daycare then I head to work. Around noon I have a lunch then I get off work at four and run around collecting the kids drop them off for night daycare then head to work at six so now I have missed dinner. I take a break around nine or ten and have a “dinner” but i am so hungry by then I have to force myself not to gorge down a meal. By two o clock when I get off work I am so hungry I cant sleep. And I don’t feel like cooking so snack it is. This 2nd job is new and I was doing so good, but now I can tell my body is storing fat. I don’t blame it lol, any suggestions?
Sorry you havent had a reply as yet. Posting my reply so it bumps back to the top and you might get someone who knows a little more than me.
The way i understand this plan, most things can be done ahead and eating literally 6 small meals a day, allows you to eat on the run. It may take some organising to get you into a routine, but once you are this eating plan should solve all your problems.
VanessaHi, Abel. Hopefully you saw my suggestions when you posted in another topic, but if not, I’m posting here as well.
The best recommendation is to work toward getting your household eating whole foods, so that when you make them meals, you are also making them for yourself – you can eat breakfast with them, and if you fix them lunches or snacks, make an extra set for yourself.
In the Menu Planner, you’ll find many options for eating healthy on-the-run – nuts, seeds, cheeses, fruits, vegetables; you can also take pints of organic milk, or make milkshakes or rich soups that you can pour into 16 oz water bottles; you can also hard-boil eggs the night before, to take with you the next day. On the weekends, you can make some of the muffin recipes, freeze them if needed, and take them on the road with you (like a protein bar, but better). Breads and dairy make a great last meal before sleep, and should tide you over.
When you go through the Menu Planner, be sure to check these items, and the application should make up the appropriate menus for you.I feel so humbled reading abelmedioni entry.Her working day/night would put many in the UK to shame.Day care and night care! I do wish you well in your efforts to lose weight.Do not however beat yourself up over it. You do not need any more stress in your life.Ossie has made plenty of good suggestions for you to try.Also go through your menu planner again and keep it simple.Make the snacks quick and easy.I joined a week ago and am still working on my menus am on the fifth version now. One ounce of dark chocolate will be a good snack for me as I can access 85% from Aldi for £1.09 and there are five small bars in the pack.My menu plan is currently only 78% healthy and I am waiting for a two week clear window to start.Also I have been tracking down some of the flours and will be cooking up some stuff ready such as the brownies. The very best of luck to you.
Hi Abelmedioni, I praise you in all that you joggle in one day. This is only my first day with this program and I’m still reading all the info, but I think the quick meals are best for you. Fruits and veggies are so easy to travel with and peanuts. Keep a kids lunch bag or small cooler with you for cool things like bolied eggs and yogart. If you can do what you do ever day with kids and 2 jobs eating right is just icing on the SWG cake!
