Talk about messing a workout routine up!!!

[abolish the weak]

So I took this p/t job to supplement my income. I had to, my side business flopped and my regular job just isnt cutting it. Bills starting to stack up and all, kid on the way, need to take care of business and get things rolling smoothly again, outside of the gym this time. Anyways, its working in a warehouse loading boxes onto trucks. It pays very well for p/t work, and I found out there is a good reason for it. Your moving a million miles an hour all day long, with very few breaks if any. The real kick in the balls though, is lunch is not until 3:00 most days!!! Thats right, your working from 8:30- 3pm with no lunch. And your burning crazy cals. So I ended up taking the week off from the gym until I can get a paycheck and go get a couple boxes of protien bars or something to keep in my pockets, maybe sneak off to the bathroom and eat them or something. The real bitch of it is, if you go take a piss more than a few times/day people start thinking your screwing off or something. So drinking water up the ass is kind of out, I cant be pissing my brains out all day. Welcome to the South, no f' in labor laws really. I'm only going to do it 2-3 days/wk so I'm sort of thinking I could use this as cardio type stuff(trust me, my heart rate is up there), and limit my weights to 3x/wk and possibly get better results in the gym if I play my cards right. At least stay leaner anyways. Anybody ever dealt with designing a workout/diet routine around someones job (or type of job should I say) That is, maybe use the off days from that job as heavier eating days/carbs/weights, and the work days as your diet/cardio day?

Something I do at my job is I drink 1 liter of low fat yogurt on my breaks.. takes me about 3-4 minutes and gives me 35g protein, 100g carbs, 5g fat.
Keeps me going for a while. I shovel snow all day and walk up stairs a lot.

As long as you have a fridge at work or if you have a cooler with you should be able to pull that of?

Work hard for 2 years, become a supervisor, and get as big as you want while other poor saps work

There are weeks in the summer i work close to 90 hrs a week in the SUN all day.. its so hard to workout... you are so beat by the end of the day and the last thing i wanna do is wake up early to hit the gym. On top of that.. i sweat from sun up to sun down and i just lose everything... it sucks.. but i love my line of work.. and i think id rather like my job, then do something i hate like alot of ppl... protien bars on hand is a good idea.... like u said, cardio at work is not a bad thing... atleast its 2-3 days a week and not 5-6!

also.. its better to lose some size, then to not be able to support your family bro!

congrats on the future baby!!
