But I'm not here to write about the same old "get healthy for the new year" plan or whine to you about my attempt.
What I'm more concerned for is that when I started looking for something to get me motivated there was nothing that really fit my lifestyle at all. No, sorry to disappoint, I'm not a stripper or some cool undercover CIA agent(although that would be amazing...the latter of course) but I am a shift worker and a shift worker that for the better part of 5 1/2 years has been pulling the graveyard shift.
So lets be honest, the plans that tell me to get more sleep by going to bed by 10, eat better, workout...blah blah blah...the list goes on and on, yeah those are great for everyone else but when your driving into work at 1030pm and leaving to go home when the sun comes up and your only options for lunch(3am) are fast food or the random 24 hr greasy diner....well lets just say its difficult to live a healthy life.
I may not be proud to admit but I have gotten my lunch from a gas station before, because that one also one of my limited options at 3am, I have also gotten weird looks from cashiers at 7am when I'm buying a 6 pack that yes, I was going to start drinking when I got home but it was technically my "friday night", so what if it was a Tuesday morning, JUST SELL ME MY BOOZE AND KEEP YOUR JUDGEMENT!
whew....ok, so here we are. I am going to attempt to figure a way to somehow adjust my lack of normal sleep and crappy food choices into a healthier 2012 by making my own "plan", if you will, that will cater to my not-so-normal lifestyle.
Disclaimer: I know some of you think its pointless with this December bringing on the Zombie Apocalypse and all but humor me will ya
