I decided to make a log to hold myself more accountable in all aspects of my life, but particularly with diet/exercise for the purpose of this forum. Right now I'm a first year resident and thus I at times work multiple weeks in a row (including weekends) without a day off. On typical work days depending on the rotation I'm on I may work anywhere from 6 hours to a more standard 11 hours or at times 14-16 hours. A big problematic factor is I cannot necessarily eat when I want to. There are days where I eat breakfast at 4:30am and do not get a chance to eat again until 3-4pm. I also can at times suffer a lot of stress that is work-related; being busy is not stressful to me but anytime I worry I have made a decision that negatively hurts a patient in some way that can hit me fairly hard. Also, I don't sleep nearly as much as I would like to some nights which also impacts me negatively.
