Motivation while going to college..

Gahhh!!! This post is my exact life. >__< I'm even a third year college student too! (In a very time consuming program!)
What my plan is this semester, is to PLAN my meals every Sunday for the week. I also plan to cook a meal in bulk on Sundays and put it in tupperware for the week so I can have meals ready on the go for lunch. And for dinner try to cook or keep easy meals and snacks in supply in my apartment. I buy fruits & veggies in bulk and snack on them whenever I'm hungry. There are tons of free foods at events and meetings at my school and to combat that I plan on eating beforehand or planning around them.
As far as working out, I am planning my schedule where I wake up early to work out for 30 minutes every morning. It may not seem like much, but it's better than nothing and it'll get me up and going. And as time progresses and it gets easier, I'll probably add more time. I'm also planning on preparing for a run, so I'm going to find some friends to run with (to keep me accountable).
I hope this helps

I hear ya, but here are a few things that I started doing last year that helped me with exercise and homework. If you have a textbook to read, bring it to the gym and plant yourself on an exrcise bike. It might not be the same intense workout that you would hae gotten without the book, but find a steady pace and just let your legs peddle away while you read.
Also while studying, take a 5 minute break every half hour to an hour and do some push ups, crunches, jumping jacks or something of the sort. Its a little break that you know you are going to take anyway, and doing a little exercise will help you be more alert.
Walk eveywhere. Imm close to graduating, but during my sopomore year I was too poor to waste gas driving anywhere but to work. So I walked as often as possible and it was the beginning to my weight loss. See if there bis a coffee shop or better yet a smoothie shop a mile away from campua and make it your new study spot. Walk there, do homework, walk back.
I think one of the most important things is to cut out the fast food! Youlll have more energy and be in a better mood if you are eating right and that will make you more inclined to workout. Be realstic and stock up on simple things like apples and yogurt.
Find a store/restaurant that sells premade sandwhiches and salads. I use to go tof the campus convenience store every other day for lunch and get a sandwhich or salad. It was nice.to have a go to place that I knew would have .something simple for me to grab and I didntt have to worry about ordering off a fast food menu and looking up the.nutrition.info.online.

I'm going into my senior year. I exercise in the morning so I don't have to stress about trying to make it fit in later in the day. Yes, that means i wake up at 5:30 or 6am every day. That also means I don't go out every night of the week and I go to bed at a reasonable time. It's hard being in the college environment with lots of people who like to party all the time, but I value my health and my goals more than that. Choosing to stay in more often and go to bed earlier also means less temptation to make bad food decisions like 2am pizza or Taco Bell. Lol. Me and my friends do like to go out for dinner a lot though too, so I try to suggest places where I can find something decently healthy, like Panera, Chipotle, or Subway.

Anyway, that's what works for me. I'm sure my friends think I'm lame sometimes but I'm sorta over the college party scene and that's fine with me
