I used to work out regularly at the gym ! and not gonna lie since i started working the 12 hour shifts honestly it became reallllyyyyy HARD to go to the gym I was 129 lbs when I graduated and my weight sky rocketed to 167 lbs!! recently what I have been doing though is the turbo fire program and I have been taking shakeology to its been doing wonders for me! My weight has reduced to 150 lbs and I am only on week 6! I feel a whole lot different to, my clothes are LITERALLY falling off! . My energy level has sky rocketed I am much more productive at work and find it easier to focus! I got my stuff from http://www.beachbodycoach.com/jackya I believe. Its been great so far + they have an amazing support group & i have a one on one coach that is available 24/7. it makes me keep up with the routines! Im just glad I finally stopped wasting money on gym membership that I barely have time to go to :o/ the fitness program is a bit pricey but I ended up saving so much more money than the monthly membership price I was paying at my gym! and that shakeology stuff is just MAGIC!

When I worked 3 12's I found it was much easier to keep up an exercise plan than now when I am working 5 8's

I am also a runner. I think any change in schedule, especially if it is accompanied by a change in job can throw off a running habit. THe thing is to kind of do it, and start slowly back into it. Even if I felt really tired, I wold do like 2 miles. anyone can do 2 miles (runners that is, for someone just starting out 2 miles is a different story). As I increased into it, I found I wanted to do it more and missed it more.

The other option of course is to join a class. OR if you are buddies with your co-workers, you could all get together in someones garage and to Jillian michaels Shred, or Insanity (I love insanity). etc. Personally though I think I would try to avoid having everything with co-workers....
