Is it possible to work 2 jobs and be healthy??

I never have time to cook, and I hate leftovers, to me they taste disgusting. So I usually end up with something that I can grab fast , like a frozen dinner. Which are horrible for you because of all the salt.

Im really not trying to make up excuses, but it feels like all I do is work, and Im so tired at the end of the day that I would rather sleep then try to push myself thru a workout and only half-*kitten* it.

Frozen dinners amount to someone else's leftovers - prepared food that just needs heating. If you would cook on your day off, you could make your own frozen dinners. I am having pulled pork today that was in the freezer from the crock pot. I often have chili - also usually frozen from a large batch. What I have quoted above IS just an excuse. With an hour's effort on your day off, you could prepare at least one week's worth of entrees. You can do it if you really want to.

So here is my dilema. I work 2 jobs, putting in an average of at least 60 hours a week. I get up at 6am and sometimes I dont get home untill after 10pm . I usually only have 1 day off out of every 14. So my Question is, is it possible to eat healthy on a limited budget with next to zero time to prepare the food?? and when am I suppose to work out? The most common reply that I get to this question is " make the time". How??! I am far to exausted to workout in the mornings and usually in too much of a rush to anyways...and I really do not want to lose an hour of sleep in the mornings. My gym closes at 9, and I do not get off of work untill that time, I can workout at home, but then I am wide awake and even more exausted the next day because I couldnt fall asleep untill 2am. Its a vicious cycle. My one day off, is the only day that I have to do laundry and pick up some groceries, and run any arrands that I cant do during the week. How is it possible to "Make" or "find" the time to workout?

Is there anyone in the same situation as me? What do you do?
And trust me if I could afford to keep a roof over my head I would get rid of the second job. But I cant so that's not an option.

60 hours b/w 2 jobs? Try one job 60+ hours. I'm up at 5 and don't stop till 10pm, if you want it you do it.

i work 84 hours a week and workout an hour and ten minutes 6 days a week...so, yep. no excuses

I did it as a single mom when I worked 90hrs a wk and literally didn't sleep on Sundays. It needs to be the ultimate priority.

Do you have a slow cooker? Throw some boneless skinless chicken breasts in there, take 5 minutes to cube it or shred them, and you've got that to throw into easy meals(salad, stir fry) and to munch on just the chicken for an easy high protein snack.

Also, while working out for 30 minutes at a time would be better, getting 3 -10 minute workouts in throughout the day would be better than nothing and easier to work in. If you're on Pinterest, there's tons of short workout on there for busy people.

Do some HIIT, no more than 10 mins a day will be enough for you right now....surely you can find 10 mins?

I'm in school full time, work full time and have a 6 year old. Some days I get up at 6am and don't get home until 4-5am the next day.

My sleep schedule is crazy, my food schedule is crazy and my gym schedule is crazy.

Sometimes (lately) around finals/midterms, I don't make it to the gym as much as I would like (if at all). It's mostly because I'm stressed and don't feel like I have the time (rather than not actually having time). I still lose weight. It doesn't take as long to cook food as you might think and taking leftovers is sometimes the best option. If you don't like leftovers and aren't willing to occasionally eat things that aren't amazing culinary creations, that will cause you problems. Sometimes, I have an apple/orange at school, one meal in between school and work (usually something easy to re-heat) and a protein bar during work and then cook food when I get home 4am.

There's a saying that losing weight is 70% eating habits and 30% exercise. With as much walking as you get in, you are probably getting in decent exercise each day things like heavy lifting and other exercise takes maybe 3 hours each week. On your day off, you could run errands with a bag of gym clothes and make it a point to stop at the gym, then you only have to find five other days where you could sneak in a half hour to an hour of gym time. However, there are plenty of people who get plenty of exercise and do body weight resistance exercises who are in perfectly good shape and never set foot in the gym. Add in 20 minutes of exercise in the morning before you start getting ready. I think you would be surprised at how easy it is.

If you want to, you will find a way. If you don't want to, you will find a million reasons not to.

I agree with what others have said. I leave the house at 7AM, get to work by 8:15, eat lunch at my desk, leave work at 5:45, get home at 7, and then am ready to pass out by 10:30–11. It leaves me about 3–4 hours to do everything: work out, have dinner, spend time with my family and pets, do housework and chores, etc. I'm on Week 4 of Couch to 5K, so I go for 30–40 minute runs 3x a week, and I do yoga or strength training another 2–3x a week for 20–60 minutes.

I usually work out after work, but when I have plans I do make myself get up at 5 and go for a run. I'm a chronic snooze-hitter, so I set up multiple safeguards: 2–3 iPhone alarms playing rock music, or I have an early-rising family member call or text and keep me accountable.

For everything else, I cope by having a regimented schedule and to-do list. I choose my outfit, pack my lunch, and sometimes even shower the night before. I drink Shakeology, so breakfast is a quick blend or shaker cup away. I eat a lot of salads with Perdue Short Cuts chicken so I can just toss it together, or leftovers from weekend crock pot meals (resign yourself to eating leftovers... seriously, it'll make your life a million times easier), or random rabbit-food combinations (veggies and hummus with almonds, goat cheese and crackers and fruit, etc.).

I'm still working on organizing my household chores (I maintain a 12-room home with three staircases all on my own), but I try to do at least one thing every day, whether it's vacuuming, mopping, dusting, a load of laundry, cleaning the bathroom, scrubbing the stovetop, or doing dishes. My ultimate goal here is to have a weekly schedule with specific tasks every day, but I'm not quite there yet.

It's hard. Super hard. I'm tired a lot. I don't have a lot of time for going out or working on personal goals (like writing my book), but it'll all work out eventually. The point is: there are only 24 hours in a day. Make healthy eating and exercise both priorities and make sure you fit them in, even if you have to make sacrifices elsewhere. And, of course, don't hold yourself to ridiculously high standards--if you need a rest day, take one! But make sure you're putting in 5–6 days of 30+ minutes of exercise before you do.
