I totally sympathize! I work 12 hour days, with an hour travel each way, so I get no time to go to the gym. I can control what I am eating pretty well, but by the time my days off roll around, it feels like so long since I have been to the gym, that it's almost like starting all over.

I'm a big fan of my protein oatmeal. 1 tbsp slivered almonds 1 tsp ground flax 1 tsp whole flax 1/8 cup porridge oats 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk Throw it all in a coffee cup at work, zap it in the microwave until its nice and thick and creamy, and...yummy breakfast, no mess no fuss :)
