Any Workaholics or people with a crazy job or crazy hours?

I am right. there. with. you.

I work about 60 hours a week. My commute to/from work is an hour each way.
I'm in grad school at night. Add six hours of class time, plus six hours of homework time, plus four extra hours of commute time a week.
On top of that, I run a *very* small home based business. Call that a few extra hours a week.

Finding time to work out and make healthy food is not easy.

I'm friending you right now.

Welcome to my life. I have to workout and track my food or else I would be 1,000 pounds. No joke.

I work anywhere from 40-48+ hours a week, but i work from 5am-1pm and I'm a full time student (only for another 12 weeks though!!) I also have a toddler at home and my hubby works opposite hours than me. This means we are both like single parents, and there is little time to get done stuff when it isn't our days off. I do surveillance for a casino and it isn't very "fitness friendly". I sit all day and i am encouraged to not leave the room longer than about 20 min at a time.

You're preaching to the choir, sister. I can completely relate. I work a minimum of 40 hours/week. I am also on call anywhere between 1 and 6 nights per week. I've worked all day, worked all night, and worked all day with no sleep. Finding the time, energy, and motivation to hit the gym when I would MUCH rather be catching up on ZZZs has been my biggest setback to getting fit.

I'm adding you

I may only work eight hours a day, but I also get an hour unpaid lunch and spend three hours in total to and from work everyday. Meaning I'm away from home for twelve hours a day. When I get home, I'm just exhausted. Most days, it's to the point where working out comes after sleep.

I seem to end up working overtime (without pay) a lot and I work 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. It's a little rough to eat normally and still workout!

I work shifts do a 42 hour week.. three weeks of 8.30 - 5.30 then a week of 4.30pm to midnight then on call all weekend so like 6am and 7am starts then the next week (which is this week) 6am - 4.30pm.. So i tend to go gym before work on a normal shift wheni work nights i go pretty much as soon as i get up like 9, 10 am and when i'm working an early week.. like this week.. i tend to struggle to go after work as i'm tired.. i don't see it as any kind of failure just keep on.. I think the three normal weeks help definatley and i prefer not to go to the gym at the weekend as use sat and sunday as my rest days.. All over days are gym days when i can.

It is hard. Especially when your tired. Is your job physcial? I wear an activity monitor watch for days when my job is physical it helps count tha calories burned from being more active like shiftingp rinters around.

2 out of 5 weeks i'm on call.. Also have a husband to cook and clean for, keep fit and have a life lol! We are busy People! :laugh:

normal 40 hrs. but hours are abnormal. 11pm-7am. I also work weekends so social life is some what non-exsistent. It's nice and ideal for hitting the gym. 7am, it's not super busy at my YMCA. It sucks because all my friends have normal work week and hours. When they go out on weekends I can't. When I am off on Mondays and Tuesdays, they can't go out because of work. ) =

I too have crazy work hours I have a standard 9-5, 40 hour work week desk job. Then I have a part-time 12-16 hour retail job, so I am on my feet running around for those 4.5 hours. I worked the part-time job full-time before the desk job and when I got the desk job the retail job really wanted me to stay at least part-time so I did because I am really trying to get out of credit card and student loan debt. Those extra 12-16 hours is typically spread over three days during the week days when I do my 9-5 so I leave the house at 8:30 in the morning and don't get back until 11:00 -11:30 at night.

I def find it hard to find time to head to the gym because on the weekends I have to try to do all the little errands and chores I did not have time for during the week and sometimes I am just plain too tired to walk down to the gym and work out.

Right there with you! I leave my house at 6:45am and after work, commuting, and working out, I don't get home until 9pm. Sometimes later if I have to go to the grocery store of something! It's tough and I'm usually pretty worn out, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right?

I leave my house at 3:30pm for work and get back home at 5:20am, followed by gym and shower and maybe a TV episode of X, in bed by 8am for sleep, only to get up and do it all over again.

FML.
