How to fit it all in?

Yeller_Sensation

I cook like a frenzied beast on Sundays for the coming week's meals, which means I plan food diaries in advance. Meals are also usually prepared in large batches so I can refrigerate portions.

At the same time, I have a number of meals in a rotation so I won't need to think too hard about what I wanna eat and I don't spend time wandering. It may seem like an OCD chore to others but it's saved me a ton of angst and time in the last 18 months.

Hope this helps. :flowerforyou:

Life was easy when I was unemployed but I just got a temp job. Great news, but how do all you employed people fit in a gym session into your day? I have to be up for the am dog walk at 530 then off to work until 430. Walk the dogs, feed the husband and it's 730. My gym closes at 8 and opens at 6 am.

Any suggestions or do I just suck it up since I won't have extra calories from exercise to eat?

Thanks for the ideas!

I know this is going to sound like excuses. They probably are, and I need to figure it out!!
1. I can't run-bad knees
2. I go to the free gym at my husband's work.
3. Walking the dogs is our time together!

Aww, the joys of Lean Cuisine. Learning to love it! :-)

if you don't want to do something- don't do it.

Clearly working out isn't a big enough priority- which is OKAY. These other things- are more important.

I work 3 jobs- and I leave around 7 AM- don't come home till around 11-1130 many nights.

You find a way- or it isn't important- that's really all there is to that.
