    ...there aren't enough hours in the day? Well with me, it's literal.

    Here's a breakdown of my weekdays; this is what I do every day, Monday through Friday:

    5:30 am: Get up, feed the cats, clean the litter box, water the plants.
    6:00 am: Go to the gym, run on the elliptical for 1/2 hour
    6:30 am: Get home, take a ten-minute shower
    6:45 am: Wake my fiance, send him to the shower, get dressed, go downstairs and put together our breakfasts and lunches
    7:30 am: Head to work
    8:00 am: Start work (I'm an instrumentation mechanic for a paper mill)
    4:00 pm: Head home
    4:30 pm: Start my strength training (which is different every day of the week)
    5:45 pm: Start cooking supper
    6:30ish pm: Eat supper
    7:00 pm: Wash the dishes and do a load of laundry
    7:30 pm: Do whatever wedding stuff needs to be done today (invites, decorations, calls, reservations, decisions; it never ends)
    8:30 pm: Do whatever chores need to be done today (vacuuming, dusting, putting clothes away, etc etc)
    9:30 pm: Go to bed and pass out cold because I'm completely exhausted.

    Not a second of my day isn't accounted for, and before anyone asks why my fiance isn't helping me with the chores and such, he spends all HIS time studying because he's enrolled in an apprenticeship at work that directly affects his salary and he's given no time during work orders to apply to it. So basically, if he wants his raises, he has to come home after work and study half the night.

    Oh, and all the exercise that takes up a bunch of time? Unless I want to blow up like a balloon, I have to keep doing it, because for some reason even if I eat like a pigeon I have to do tons of exercise to keep from gaining weight.

    It's to the point now where I do stuff like this at work because it's the only time I can steal a few minutes to do something fun. .

    Okay, I think I'm done ranting now.

    Ah but, but, but, you are getting married...

    You are going to feel like a slave if you leave it at that and one day when he has finished all his exams, then ask him to give you a hand.

    It takes:-

    2 seconds to turn on a washing machine
    30 seconds to put a load in it and washing powder
    3 minutes to do the dishes
    5 minutes to clean the bath and shower, wc


    Time to add him into a few things, after all he needs to stretch as well from studying and you need to kick your heels off and lay on the couch and read a book for 10 ..

    In addition no sex? haha, well you say you crash....

    Don't be obsessed with every single day going to the gym and then ever single day, doing strength training, you can take 2 days off and do something for you, including intimacy...

    What's more important? Getting a balance and getting it correct now? Or trying to correct it when it's too late? Or, not being intimate and feeling like your living with a mate? Or..... changing things around a little.

    Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
    It doesn't happen over night
    if truth were to be told.

    Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
    you must believe!

    Time is precious. So - there are a lot of things you can do to have more.

    Making dinner can be simple - 15 minutes, not 45 on most days. Once in a while cook something special. It looks like you do 2 hours of exercise each day. Could you get exercise doing something you enjoy with your spouse - running, biking? Staying in shape is good, but you spend a lot of time at it, maybe not the most valuable thing.

    Skip the fancy wedding. Save your money and time and go on a wonderful honeymoon. Start the marriage happy and relaxed, not tired, stressed and in debt.
