I also have to figure out how I’m going to deal with school starting again.  I think I can work out in the mornings. Three times a week, I have to be at campus at 9:30am for class, so I have between 7am and 8:30am to workout and eat.  Those will be running and yoga days.  Tuesdays and Thursdays, I don’t have to be to campus until noon or later.  Those will be weights/ cardio cross-training days.  I’ll bring a healthy lunch in my cooler.  I might have to plan on having Lean Cuisine or something like that for dinner, just so I can get to bed early enough.  I have to get it together during school, because I have many more years of this schedule ahead of me and I can’t keep abusing myself.

I feel guilty about him making separate meals for me, but if I had to make my own meals right now, I wouldn’t have time and would probably not eat at all.  I barely have time to eat anyway. 

How do married people do this without support from their spouses?  Do you just give up?
