tommishuck Posts: 59 Joined: 2003/05/05	2004/01/29, 11:30 AM I'm going back to school and need some help with getting some workouts in and getting some meal ideas. week #1- 6:00am-wake for work, eat, shower, etc. 7:00am-start work 4:00pm-leave work 5:00pm- start school 10:00pm-leave school 10:30pm-tell wife and kids good night and sleep week #2 6:00am-4:00pm-same as week #1 5:00pm-8:00pm-School(Mon,Wend,Fri@home and study, Tues, thur @ school) 8:30-home week #3 6:00-4:00-same as week 1 NO SCHOOL All day I do not have access to a microwave or a stove, so I can not have hot meals. I have been doing a lot of salads and sandwhiches. I need some new ideas if anyone has any. I'm really hurting on protein. are there foods high in protein that are good cold other then tuna and lunch meat? With my work outs, week 1-almost impossiable to get sleep required and workout at the same time...or is it? week2 and 3 I think I'll be okay. I'm open to any ideas or suggetions that anyone has. thanks in advance...

They only take a minute to make, they taste good and they are inexpensive (compared to protien bars) -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

I usually spend most of Sunday making my meals for the rest of the week (though I've usually finished eating it by Wednesday - gotta work on that...LOL). Put it in some ziploc bags or containers, throw it in a cooler, and you're off. -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead! Chaos, Panic, Disorder.... Yes, my work here is done!
