Where do you people find the time to get all this done

[Gutbuster]

We have sessions at my gym from 7:30-9 every weekday so I go there after I get off work (usually 8-5:30 or 6), and 9-10am on saturdays . Some days I get up early to do some biking, crunches, etc before work or I'll do them after I come back from the gym and eat dinner. Theres also a gym where I work so every now and then I use that during my lunch break, although not so often these days since I usually make 5 classes a week. Saturdays and Sundays I try to get a longer run or a solid sprint session in or at least some long cycling sessions. I have a stationary bike in my apartment which is easier on my knees than running and also lets me watch tv or a movie or something while I use it, so that makes it a bit easier to at least get some cardio.

So basically I don't get much free time but I love doing this stuff so I don't mind. The problem I do have is that I do most of my training and such pretty late at night and then eat after that so I usually end up being awake until 1 or 2am and then I have to get up by 6 am at the latest, so I don't get enough sleep during the week. I try to catch up on weekends though and every now and then I take a night off and just crash early.
