Life has been such a blur for the past week!

I went to the gym maybe once or twice last week and I went last night. My goal for the week is to go to the gym atleast 4x.
 
I know what you mean when you say the weeks are a blur!
One thing that helps me is to sit down and map out my week. I usually do this on Sunday night. I plan out my meals and also my workouts for the whole week, with pretty much every detail. This really seems to help when the weeks get a little hectic.

I would agree with the other poster that you are probably undereating on some of your days. In order to stay in balance your meals should consist of a protien, carb, and healthy fat. This will keep you satisfied and keep you from scavenging at the end of the day (Trust me been there done that!).

One other thing I noticed was that one day for lunch you "didnt have time" Skipping meals is definately a way to sabotage all of your hard work!! Make sure you eat something, which is definately better than nothing!
 
Thanks jenkerr1 for your kind words. Finals are finally over for me now I can relax for a week before the summer term begins, lol.

You're right - planning HELPS alot. I think I will begin doing that. it saves me time and stress.

I know that I undereat on some days, I'm trying to imrpove though.

I agree with the previous comments - if you can get yourself a regular schedule where you always work out at a certain time/eat at a certain time I think your body will perform better.

It's hard to do this being that I'm a college student and have a part time job. But, I might just have to wake up at 5am to work out every morning like I did in high school. gotta sacrifice something!
 
I've been to the gym 3x already this week. very proud of myself for that. trying to make it atleast 5x. it would be great if I could do if 6x. we'll see.

Yesterday I cooked two diff. meals. lol. white rice & peas with grilled chicken for the family, and brown rice & peas with grilled chicken for myself. some of the brown rice, peas, and chicken is left over so that will be my lunch today.
