I’m moving into a new apartment and want to paint an accent wall in my room.. any ideas for what color I should do?

My furniture is white, and I want a color that would look really homey and inviting. Hah, any ideas? I’m having so much trouble picking out a color!

One thing that keeps me on track with my diet is planning my meals ahead of time, usually the night before.

What are some things that help you stay motivated or on the right track towards staying healthy or losing weight?

I need advice, if you guys are willing to give some!

Ok, so. Basically, it has to do with staying healthy while working..

I work this nursing job as a student nurse with a position similar to a nurse tech, or CNA.. I’ll mostly work 12.5 hour shifts and I have to be there at 7 am. So that means, I usually eat breakfast anywhere from 5:30-6:30 (depending on if I’m at home or staying with a friend closer to my job). I eat lunch close to 2 or 2:30, then dinner when I get off work at 7:30.. Sometimes I eat dinner closer to 8:30-9 if I have to drive the hour home. Then I’m too exhausted to work out or exercise, even on my days off! Like, I need at least a full day to recoup before I can even function, and the most I get off is 2-4 days in a row, usually I get 1-2 off though before I have to work again.

I guess my question is this: what can I do to keep myself fit and active while working this job? It sucks the life outta me. And also, what are some good, filling meals to keep me satisfied during the day without going too much over 1200 calories? Are any of you in a similar situation? How do you deal?

Thanks so much for all the help! In advance. Haha. :)
