How to find time to workout and follow diet tips?!
Question: I have a crazy work schedule. I am up at 3 a.m. and return home from work around 5 p.m. (on a good day if no overtime). This means within 2-1/2 hours of returning home, I have to exercise, eat dinner, feed my dogs, shower and relax. Problem, experts say not to eat or exercise within 2 hours of bedtime...what's a girl supposed to do??? I find most fitness / diet/ lifestyle advice only applies to those with a 9 to 5 job / lifestyle....anyone out there care to tackle solutions for those of us who have an atypical work schedule???? Any advice (except the advice of changing jobs, that's not an option) will be appreciated.

Focus on the intensity, not the length, of your workouts. Also combine cardio and strength training. Real life doesn't distinguish between the two.
There are many ways to get a great workout in a short time. Here's an example.
Let's say you have 15 minutes to workout. Pick two exercises (or three if you like). You want a lower body and an upper body exercise. So let's pick squats and push-ups.
In the 15 minutes, do as many rounds of 5 push-ups and 10 squats as you can. Rest as you need to.
A couple of other tips:
1. Always warm-up, even if all you do is some running in place or jumping jacks, you're preparing your body for the intense workout to come.
2. Keep a training journal. One of the key things is to progress your workouts. How can you do that if you don't track them? I like to use a simple composition book . They're durable, inexpensive, the format is flexible and you can keep notes about how you feel in addition to what you do.
I hope this helps you. There are some more ideas for time saving workouts here: http://www.thefitnesslifestyle.com/time-...

The crazy person who said not to do those things before bed didn't live like most of us!!
Ok, don't know if you work in an office or what, but when you stand up from your desk for break time or whatever, do about 5 toe touches before going on with whatever you were going to do. You can break your work out up into small pieces of the day.
Park in the far edge of the parking lot furthest from the door! Walk as fast as you can to the car and back. This really does help!
Exercise before bedtime reenergizes me so I cannot sleep. While feeding the dogs, do toe touches. anything that needs to be carried up stairs, do them one at a time bending and picking up each time. go up stairs as rapidly as you can, but not back down that fast.
Diet is a very nasty dirty 4-letter word!! Adopt a lifestyle food plan. Salad and a small piece of meat for dinner! Real dressing please, not the soury vinegary diet stuff. Use only half what you would have used last week.
There are a lot of stretches you can do from an office chair, use them frequently during the day. You will find they help you to concentrate on the job better as well as help with the weight loss and body toning. My friend uses her exercise ball for a desk chair!!
