So , all is good . And I better follow Sailor Moon ' s advice so i make it to Prince Mikasaandahalf . <| sep |> I am in the military and we don ' t work set hours . Usually it is 06301730 but often we come in earlier and leave later . So I basically give myself a set of 3 or 4 lifting days and 3 run days to fit in where and when I have time . Sometimes we run as a unit so that I may count as my run . depending on how fast far we go haha . That works for me . If your schedule is full and erratic maybe try to make the workouts , then set the time at the beginning of the week when you will go to the gym and make sure to stick to the plan . As far as nutrition , I just pack a bunch of stuff and eat it through the day .
