I've been really struggling this week with eating better and trying to fit in exercise. I've started a new schedule at school which basically requires me to be busy from 9am-8pm most days at least on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I get up at 7 to get ready and usually end up in bed by 10pm, so I'm struggling to find the time and energy to exercise on these days. Thursdays can sometimes be very long which is normally the day I would not exercise before I had this new schedule. I was thinking of just exercising Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and just let the rest of the days be what they are. What do ya'll think?

    I work 12hr shifts that usually means being out of the house for approx 14hrs (I'm a paramedic, so need to do vehicle and drugs checks before shift start, and regularly get late jobs). I simply don't exercise on those days, I'm afraid. On the plus side, I do get 3 or 4 days off per week as opposed to most peoples' 2 day weekend, so I go running on my days off.
