So I'm about to start working full time for the first time in my life (yah i know...about time I entered the REAL WORLD....haha) and i'm getting concerned about finding time to workout, cook, etc (sort of similar to another thread on here).
anyway, what do all of your daily schedules look like? I guess I'm just looking for motivation to see how everyone else fits it in....

I work Monday to Friday and commute an hour to work each day. So my days are full!
Get home from work at 5:30pm, get to gym at around 6ish, finish WO around 7ish and then home for shake, and last meal at 8:30ish. Make lunch for the next day Bed at 12:00 (too late always). Up again at 6am, and do it all over again!
So on Sundays I usually use this afternoon or evening to cook up most of my meals for the week, as it already takes me enough time during the week to pack all my daily meals.
It can be done. Its tiring, and by Friday i am toast. But just plan ahead to make your life easier, and use the weekend to do most of your cooking so you have time to relax during the week too!
Good Luck!

Oh yeah finding a way to manage time does suck.
On weekdays I have classes at 7:40 am-1pm, for 2 mornings I wake up early (5:45 am) to do cardio.
Workouts afterward.
Go home, study or do whatever is necessary on days off work.
I work 4 days a week (usually Thurs/Fri after school to Sat/Sundays [7.5hrs]).
Saturday mornings... volunteer at hospital, go immediately home to eat then go off to work until 10pm.
Basically no time for social fun because I would have to compromise either 1) school/studying 2) work 3) workouts and I'm unwilling to compensate any one of them.
It's rather hectic.

M-F I wake up around 3:50am and get in my preworkout meal. Then I leave for the gym around 4:40 to get there by 5. I usually workout for an hour.
Monday- Class 10-12pm then I go back for a night class at 7-10
Tuesday- Class 12:45-4:30
Wednesday- Class 10-12 and then 1:30-5:20
Thursday- Off from school but I usually work something like 4-10
Friday- same as above.
Saturday- Usually work in the AM... 8-1
Sunday- Usually work at night... 5-close
And I spend all my free time, mostly, doing friggin art work since I'm an art major. Sigh.

Here is a detailed schedule:
Monday: 5:45 AM cardio, 8AM-5PM work, 5PM-8PM class
Tuesday: 5:45 AM cardio, 8AM-5PM work, 5-6:30 lift, homework

Weekday schedule:
5:30 am - Wake up, shower, eat breakfast
6:30 am - Go to work
7:00 am to 3:30 pm - At work (bring myself lunch, and 2 snacks)
4:00 pm - Get home, start workout
5:00-5:30 pm - Finish workout, get in the shower, eat snack
6:00-6:30 pm - Eat dinner
Go to bed by 9 pm
I usually cook big meals (with left-overs) on the weekend, so I don't have to cook as much on the weekdays. My weekends are more open, so I don't really "schedule" anything. I just wake up, workout, eat and run any errands I have.

I used to work 7a-3p and would get to my work out around 3:15p and done w/ it around 4:30p...depending on the workout schedule....
Now, that I am out of work, it does not really matter but I have to face the fact that I may end up w/ a 8-5 job which would really suck. I don't have a clue what to do w/ an hour long lunch...
I am attending a workshop right now which begins at 8:30a, so I went to the gym at 6a to "test" an early morning schedule. I am not sure whether I like, it leaves me wired...and there is no way that I can do HIIT at 7a....

Sleep around 3/4am
Wake up around 9/10am
Every day is something new
I wish I had a regular routine though
Right now it doesn't matter what the results will be.
Whats more important is that you test the waters. You share the story.. you add a different aspect to your recovery..

I get up at 8pm, and I'm at work by 8:45 or 9pm. Work until 6am, go home and take a shower, eat b-fast, and off to the classroom or hospital floor by 7:15 am. I'm there until 2:30, after which I drive home and schedule my patients for the next night. I'm in bed usually by 4pm. Sleep 4 hours (sometimes interrupted my phone calls), and repeat 5 days a week. At least my weekends are free (sometimes). What's ironic is I study patients with sleep disorders !?! At least the sleep I do get is deep, so I do actually get rested. I graduate on March 17, so that will be over soon. I can't wait...

My schedule is different every day so I'll give you yesterday's and today's:
We have 3 kids (16,14,almost 5) and I'm a full time student as well so my schedule is different every day. The weekends are for shopping, cooking my meals for the week and spending time with friends and family. We also clean the house on Saturday usually. My weekdays are very busy.
Yesterday
6:30 wake up/ eat and get my youngest ready for preschool. Then get myself ready for class
8:30 drop off daughter at preschool and head to downtown Chicago for class (I have about 1/1/2 hrs commute in the morning)
11:45 got out of class early and am heading to the gym for my workout
2:00 home from the gym. Check mail/pay bills/eat/ clean up/ start laundry
3:30pm pick up daughter from preschool
5:00 take older daughter to orthodontist and pick up dinner o nthe way home for family
6:30 eat dinner together as a family which we always do
THe rest of the evening is spent on doing homework/studying/making lunches/giving baths/socializing w my husband etc.
Today
7:15 wake up and eat
9:00 work out (youngest daughter comes with me since she's home when I'm home)
12:00 make lunches for daughter and hubby (he comes home for lunch everyday)
Do homework/run errands/ go to Walmart for essentials/ make dinner in the afternoon
6:00 pm We're going out as a family to see a movie and then I'll most likely work on my research for class
