I pack my own healthy snacks and I  take a daily multivitamin, calcium with vitamin D and fish oil.  When  I'm sick I take extra vitamin c and zinc.  I take whey when I work out  or don't eat enough during the night shift.  I avoid munching on  unhealthy snacks.  
I work at  11pm.  I have 5-6 patients so im always running around hardly sitting  down some days.  I drink one cup coffee no sugar non fat flavor  cream.  I try to drink green tea and i always drink lots of water.
When  im done with work I work out cardio/weight train 3-4x a week.   If i  feel unmotivated i take Jac3d.  I feel like my work outs are efficient I  don't waste time.  I usually feel accomplish.  After working out i take  whey protein.
I usually go to bed  by 1pm.  I avoid eating meals before beds.  That has helped a lot with  my weight loss so far.  I lost 10 lbs in 6 months.  I was plateauing for  3 months so avoiding big meals before dinner has helped me.  
I  have lost weight but I feel like im stuck again.  I admit on my days  off i take a break from exercise and cheat.  I do love food.  Im always  on Yelp trying new places.  Ive come a long way as to portion control  and eating smaller meals.  I know in the food department i need to  bucket down if i wanna lose weight.  I hate that word... Diet.  But I do  believe in being healthy so gotta do what I gotta do right to be  healthy.
I enlist the help of the iPhone app Lose It. I never calorie count and meal plan all I did in the past was just eat healthy and work out. In the 3 days of food journaling so far i never realized how much calories of food i take in. Now I'm trying to be more thoughtful of the foods I'm taking in to nourish my body.
So this will be interesting.  Hope I can loose a little more.
