    Not anymore, but I did that at one point... full school and full work loads.
    I knew someone else who was doing most of that... her work wasn't quite full-time and was a single mother!
    I don't know how people do it. I'm not even sure how I did it. :laugh:

    Hello!
    32, working as a lab assistant in the evenings and going to school full time during the day. Sometimes it's tough, but it is do-able! I am soooo looking forward to summer break, no school just work. that is going to be a vacation!!

    I *just* graduated with my Bachelor's in December 2011 (at 31)-- working fulltime and taking at least 15 credits a term (shorter terms = overdrive) at the same time.

    It was so hard.

    I did not have as much time to devote to fitness as I wanted... so here I am now.

    I would often walk during my lunch break and in the mornings with my dog, but I rarely had the time (nor the energy) to do much else.

    I really respect and hand it to those of us who are juggling work with families and schools-- and to attempt to keep our bodies as healthy as possible-- it's not easy.

    feel free to add me-- I can definitely be one who understands the struggles of trying to do it all!

    I'm 35, work full-time and freelance in addition (so I work seven days a week and holidays) and I'm a full-time student at a school an hour away from me, so I get to drive two hours a day in addition. So trust me, I understand! :)

    Thanks to all who added me. It feels good to know that I am not alone, although I feel like it sometimes. Lets do this! :happy:
