no time for fitness..
I have heard of the freshman 15. They say that most freshman gain weight their first year of college. This is my second year at Triton college and I also have gained some weight. Before starting Triton I always had a gym class in school. I took that for granted. I used to believe that it should be up to the student if they want to take gym class or not. Now my opinion has completely changed. I miss having gym. I was always fit and didn't think I need to exercise. I didn't put on that much weight maybe 10 lb but it still makes a difference. My body doesn't look the same as it used to. I tried going to the gym everyday. I worked part time which made it easier for me to maintain work, school, and going to the gym. Now that I work full time and I'm a full time student I haven't stepped into the gym in 2 months. There is just not enough time in the day. Also my eating habits switched from eating healthy small portions every 3 to 4 hours to eating fast food twice a day and unhealthy snacks at home. I really need to figure out how to balance everything out. I have my school and work pretty much worked out but I am still struggling with putting my health into the equation. I was wondering if anyone has the same problem and some good ideas that can help me out.

First off, kudos to you for working and going to school full time! Here is my 2 cents: If you do or don't cook, use your free time to make meals or buy food that last at least a week. That way you can take your own lunch and get back to eating healthier. Walk to places instead of driving to them if you can. Cut back on the fast food, maybe by having some a few times a month. Hope these tips help. They've worked for me.
