Making time
I have read on several different blogs and forum posts where people say they don’t have time to eat 5-6 times a day or that there is no way that they could eat that often at work. What blows me away about this is that there are plenty of people out there who manage to take their fifteen minutes every hour or two for a smoke break. It also takes about the same amount of time to make a cup of coffee as it does to make up a quick protein shake. Why is it that we have no problem making time to support our bad habits but we have such a hard time making time for our new healthy habits?
Anyway, just a thought, feel free to share yours.

I’ve said the same thing time and again. Most people get a 15 minute break about mid morning, and another one mid afternoon. Just bring a meal replacement bar to chow down on instead of that Snicker’s you were going to buy at the vending machine.
Shoot, my old workout partner used to bring whole foods to eat, just nuke it and chow down. If you want to lose, you’ll find a way.
Great blog

It’s just an excuse for not "wanting" to do it. During the school year, I often eat in the 5 minute passing period between classes or the last couple of minutes of class while walking around the classroom checking student work and answering questions, eating my oatmeal and egg whites (prepared in advance w/oatmeal kept warm in a thermos)…when you have the desire, you can find a way.
