The early morning drive and the daily stress of work overload combined with inactivity, bad eatingon- the-go habits and lack of sleep can lead to an erratic sleep pattern that could last forever. None of us want that, but in a world that expects more from us as each day passes, we tend live each day in devotion to our work instead of ourselves. I'm not saying you should pack in your job and take a permanent vacation. I'm saying that, chances are, it wouldn't hurt to reevaluate your daily regime.

Weight gain is normally given plenty of support from other willing bystanders on our daily routines, such as the workplace vending machine, the fast food restaurant on the way home and the longgone friend named "exercise."

Exercise doesn't have to be a burden or time restraint. A timemanaged program balanced with cardio and resistance-training modalities can help prevent you from completely falling into the job excuse trap. Thirty-minute power walks and some plyometics such as push-ups, crunches and lunges will do wonders for your metabolism and relieve some stress.

The sneaky vending machine may always seem to be very persuasive, but you have probably given it all the ammunition it needs to invite you in for a calorie-glazed snack of fat gain. Chances are you missed breakfast, and your workload probably postponed a healthpacked meal. A meal replacement shake or a protein bar can be the perfect nutritious meal to have during the day when you are on the go. They are also handy when you are commuting to and from work where unhealthy cravings can be at an ultimate high!

You know your work and health regime better than anyone else. Honestly ask yourself if your job or school schedule is putting on the pounds. If so, it's time to reconstruct your weekly routine. Besides, a healthy mind and body typically aids employees in their pursuits for promotions!
