Shakes > bars every day of the week. The only bar I have every once in a while is the bigger Detour bar. But hell even if they didnt have all that crap in them, they are still $3 a pop. WAAAYYY to expensive.

My desk is full of food and so is my tool box. I have a little mini foreman grill I cook everything from eggs to chicken and steak on it. Here is what I can see in my desk right now 8 cans tuna in water, smoke flavor, dried onions, garlic, oatmeal, canned chicken (rinse it really good way to much salt) Natty Peanut butter, almonds, walnuts, tons of vits and minerals and that is just my desk My big roll around tool box has a mini fridge in it that is full of steak, frozen fish fillets, chicken, broccoli, field greens, eggs,cottage cheese, water and some other crap. It is really easier for me to stay on a strict diet when I work then when I am home because I have it all right here. Be creative bring groceries to work. Do what Grinder did cook it up bag it and label it. I thought that was a great way to do it.

thats hardcore right there.....

something i can see myself doing in the future

I also don't ever remember saying, "Im giving up on my diet and working out."

I never said that. But, it just seems like instead of committing 100% to bettering your body & health, it feels like there are obstacles that come up all the time, that really shouldn't be that difficult to maneuver. We all have busy jobs and home lives. Yet, we MAKE the time to eat. We plan our days out according to when we need to eat. We ask ourselves: "Where will I be at this time so I can eat this meal, or if I am mobile, when will I actually consume it? In the car, etc" If you're 30 minutes past a meal, that's no big deal.

Secondly, state labor laws REQUIRE that you get two 15 minute breaks during an 8 hour day, AND at least 30 minutes for lunch. I understand you are grateful for your opportunity. However, it is unlawful for your employer to make what seems to be sort of threatening behavior IF you do take a lunch break. So, take it upon yourself to Google gyms in the area, or just go for a run outside. The "hopefully you won't have time to run" response, could actually be deemed as a labor law violation. If you are hourly or salary, they cannot force you not to take a lunch. I would just get up during the day and leave for an hour. It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission, so if they have a problem with it, then they need to come up with alternative times for you to take a break. You're already working at least a 50 hr work week, so please explain to me why you can't take an hour for lunch.
