OK guys, I've finally been able to get everything done that I am supposed to each day, Protein from food, Protein from drinks, Exercise, Suppliments, and Water. Problem is that my new schedule will in no way work in two weeks when I return to my job. I need you tips and experience. My daily schedule for work goes like this.      5:00 AM Wake up, shower, shave      6:00 AM Eat breakfast      6:30 AM Leave for work (Drive)      8:30 AM Arrive at work.     12:00 Noon Eat Lunch      6:30 PM Leave work      8:30 PM Arrive home and eat      9:00 PM Go to bed So how do I fit in my new WLS requirements so that I can still work? Thanks 

Michael

While it looks like a tough schedule, what are you concerned about? Is it fitting in exercise time? Is it getting 5 meals per day, while your commuting or at work?

As far as exercise, can you walk in the mornings, or at lunch or after work? If you walk after work, will your commute time be shorter if you leave slightly later in the evening after your walking?

  As far as meals, can you carry water/crystal lite in your car as you commute?  If you can snack at work or in your car, do you have trouble with eating low preperation items such as protein bars or an ostrium sticks while at your desk or while driving? Where do you see the conflicts with this schedule and the food/exercise needs your facing?   I have a small stash of low-prep foods at work for meals/ snacks and I have walk quality shoes at work to take advatage of the hour I have for lunch (using 30 minuutes for walking is not hard to fit in, since the food quanity I lunch on is small). I am sure other may have some ideas... Herb

Michael, first, your commute suks! I used to have a 2-hour each way commute when I was in Atlanta, So I feel for you. My solution? I moved…. Was 4 hours each day- 6 day work week… now less than 4 minutes…5 day week… I got around 1264 hours a year back…. a bout 52 days worth of livin’. Now, here’s some ideas to fit your schedule---- 5:00 AM Wake up, shower, shave 6:00 AM Eat breakfast -(get in 20gms protein here and some fiber) …(take Multi-Vitamin and Iron with Breakfast) 6:30 AM Leave for work (Drive) …(drink some water on the way in with your commute) …(drink water with a splash of isopure in it, …and you’ll sneak in another 10gms of protein) 8:30 AM Arrive at work. …(park further from your office door and add in some walking here) …9:00-ish- (pull out a protein bar or an apple or …protein drink [another 15 gms protein] and get in some more nutrition) 12:00 Noon Eat Lunch – (get in 20 to 25 gms protein here) …(after lunch, go for a walk, and have some more water as you start back) …3:30-ish- (pull out another snack, [at least 10gms protein..easy] …and have it right after a calcium supplement- Citri-Cal Creamy Bite) 6:30 PM Leave work …(drink some more water on the way in with your commute) 8:30 PM Arrive home and eat (get in 20 to 25 gms protein here and some fiber) 9:00 PM Go to bed (right before bed, have another Calcium) …9:15- (wild abandoned sex, burn off more calories, ensure excellent sleep.) Through out the day, keep a bottle of water on hand and continue sipping …at every available opportunity. You’ll feel fuller and the hydration ...helps move the fat to glycogen, to the muscles, ...and waste on through and out of the system… Don’t skimp on any of it…. Plan yardwork and activities for the weekend… For additional exercise? * see post above * It is easier than it would seem, It continues getting easier as time goes on… Best Wishes- Dx

"9:00 PM Go to bed (right before bed, have another Calcium) 9:15- (wild abandoned sex, burn off more calories, ensure excellent sleep.)" OK, Dx.  Just so I get this right.... Is that wild, abandoned sex from 9:00 to 9:15?  Or 1 minute of wild, abandonded sex, right at 9:15? I mean, I suppose I could go faster, but how many calories can you really burn off in 1 minute?
