My body need proper nutrition to handle a large number of work hours in an optimal way. My first cue will be a diet plan, and I am definitly going to make it as easy as possible. 

Couple of guidelines will be:

1. Flour gtfo. 
2. processed sugar gtfo.
---
3. berries, fruit, fresh pressed juice, hello.
4. whole rice, real bread made with the real healthy stuff (clearly need to expand my english vocabulary, and do some research on nutrition), hello.
5. Find some healthy snacks (berries, fruit, nuts...), any ideas?
--------
6. Eat the same thing every day, except for a cheat day. And by that I mean one day a week where I still eat healthy, but can eat more, and different food, than in the diet plan.

Drinking is out, at least untill christmas eve. And sleeping is in. Eight hours of shut-eye, getting up at nine every morning. Which means one thing: Nightynight!

Nice! I love seeing this kind of stuff here. We will all bug you if you don't stick with it, so don't let us down.

Till now I have been living from day to day with no set schedule, except for the obligation that my occupation is. I am able to support myself trough my occupation, but no more. I'm not quite sure what to make of myself. I spent some time in the army, and loved/hated every moment of it, but I'm not quite sure that is what I want to do. 

For the time being I am doing a single subject, so I at least have the possibility of getting back into the educational system; and I have three more to go, so for the sign-up in January I'll do two more. I cannot stay stuck in this zone for ever. 

I will still take on one day at the time, but will plan a rough outline on a weekly basis, and plan my days on a daily basis - the evening before. 

Next up is my goals untill summer 2014.

For a change to happen there has to be something to stretch for. There is always more to be done. None the less it is good to have a goal or three. 

Come June 2014, two defined changes will have happened:

; I will love work. I kind of do already, but I have a lot more to go on, and I can get even more focused. This will mean that I will be done with my exams in the subjects I need to get into uni. I may not go to uni, but I will have the possibility. It also means I will have gotten some wealth - I am looking into buying some real estate. 
; I will have gotten back to my "good place" regarding fitness/health. My preference, my default, will be exercise and a healthy diet. This will probably happen sooner than later, but still; it's one of my goals.

So the personal changes will be loving work and prefering what is good for my body.
The more measureable things wil be my exams, my wealth and my body.

Next up is my workout schedule, and some thoughts on my work schedule.

Glad I partially inspired you to do this!! Good luck mate, make sure to keep us updated.

Workouts.

I am currently doing two programs. One for strength, and one for endurance. After I got out of the army I became a couch potato. So I chose a program with a fitting name, to get back into running shape: Couch to 5k. For strength I am doing stronglifts 5x5.

Went to the gym, and for a run, yesterday. A kick start. 

I will be posting on my progress.

I have a job in which I often need to work after hours, so at times, there will be lots of work that needs to be done before I can leave for home. This needs a work-around.

To work around this in my schedule I'll extend every shift with 2 1/2 hours in my plans, and plan from there. I'll need to include my workouts, bulks of time for making and consuming food, time for study, and time for reading. If I get out of work on time or before the 2 1/2 hours are up, I'll simply start earlier on planned tasks, and fill any time left with my studies.

My shifts change every month, so I'll give a real life example in a future post, but I won't give a fully detail of every day for you guys – I need that time for my studies.

I did some thinking regarding time consumption, at it'll look roughly like;

Out of 168 hours:

56 hours are spent sleeping

38 hours are spent at my regular job

21 hours are spent studying

12 hours are spent working out

7 hours are spent commuting

14 hours are spent making and consuming food

4 hours are spent cleaning my home, showering; stuff like that

2 hours are spent on bank/budget and stuff like that

7 hours are spent reading before going to sleep

That leaves 7 hours. They will act as a buffer. I might need them for work, study, or I will use them for movies or time with friends. I'm also allowing myself «pull» 4 hours out of my sleep schedule every week. I'll just mention the opposite gender, and not explain in further detail.

Now this is a regular week. I do love traveling. I do love hiking. I do celebrate the holidays with family. So this is an outline. This timetable is possible 90% of my time. 

Any thoughts?
