 OMGosh, you guys tell me when  you are working so many hours you don't have time to eat or pee how do I find time to workout?  I am so frustrated from this week. I have not eaten "bad" but  have ot eaten the amounts I need to eat during the day and then want to eat a table in the evening.  

I pray this weekend will give me time to get organized for the coming week.

I've been dealing with this too.  My husband suggested I buy a daily planner that is divided into time slots and try to plan the hours in my day to see where I can find time gaps for fitting exercise in.  So I'm going this weekend to buy one and give it a try.

The biggest problems I face are "unplanned" events.  Like tonight.  I babysit my 7 mo. granddaughter at least 3 days a week.  She was here from early this morning and  was suppose to be picked up by 5:30 tonight (their work shifts vary so the hours are all over the place) but  she actually didn't  go home until 11:30 pm.  My plans to exercise had to be readjusted, which drives me crazy since I'm working hard to make exercise a habit. Thankfully I have a loving husband who watched the baby when he got home from work so that I could fit in some exercise. 

Organization is key for me.  I'm definitely a Type A personality and live by my lists!   So here's my plan and maybe it'll help you too....

*Buy a daily planner and make an appointment with myself for exercise every day
*Do "silent" exercises when possible - Heel lifts when standing, Stretching on bathroom breaks, walking during breaks or lunch, etc. 
*Come up with Plan B when Plan A goes out the window
*Have pre-thought out or pre-packaged meals ready to go when time is short.
*Plan snacks and have some ready "To-Go"
*Make breakfast or lunch ahead of time / Take To-Go if necessary
*Use my phone app to log foods if not at home
*EAT Protein First! 
*Never be without a bottle of water - no matter where I am.  Drink, Drink, Drink!
*NEVER GIVE UP!!  TOMORROW WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT!
