. . . and I’m already into excuses, LOL! I ate pretty well today (didn’t go over my alloted points!) but I still have yet to exercise.
Why? I’m still trying to catch up on all the schoolwork that I missed when I had mono last semester. I’m also starting work on the show that I’m stage managing this semester.
So my question to you ladies: do any of you work? And if so, how do you manage to eat healthy and continue to exercise when you have extended hours? I have classes all day, then I somehow find time to eat lunch and supper in between classes and homework, then I have rehearsal until almost midnight. When I get home I crash, then get up in the morning and do it all over again. I don’t even get weekends off - I have lots of work and I have rehearsals too. How do you work the healthy lifestyle in to all that?

You did well today! I work a full time job 3 to 11 so my plan is to exercise in the mornings before my shower. We will see how that works out, my plan is to try and exercise atleast 5 days a week. :good:

Hi Lindsey,
I don’t work and I still have problems keeping to a healthy diet and exercising so I have a lot of admiration for those who work/go to school/college or whatever full time and manage to even think about exercise and healthy food choices.
You didn’t go over your points so like Valerie said you did great today!
Take Care

I ordered my 8 minute workout DVD–I hope it will help.

I work.
I read somewhere that even 15 mins a day, or at a time, adds up.
Do you have time when you have lunch or dinner to go for a walk?
What about taking a break from your studies and doing lifting some weights. The break would be good for your head too. You might be able to concentrate better with a break here and there.
Just some thoughts….

I work fulltime.
I take my lunch and “snacks” to work with me and that helps keep me focused. I keep a box of 100 calorie pack snacks and Special K breakfast bars in my desk for munchies that I can’t resist, and I buy Lean Cuisine meals to keep in the freezer so I don’t “forget” my lunch on the counter.
It doesn’t sound like frozen lunches would work for you unless you had access to a fridge throughout the day, but I would try researching the area you travel in and see if you can map out healthier options for grabbing that meal. Raw veggies in baggies or fruit might be a good option for tiding you over between meals.

Yeah, frozen meals and things like that wouldn’t work to well (unfortunately). And pretty much all the campus food is unhealthy. Sigh . . . at least I get lots of walking in when I walk around campus, up and down the stairs, carrying all my books!
