Hey, thanks for asking! I was kinda hoping you or Will would respond.
Anyway:
Time of day: Usually before dinner, late-afternoon early-evening. I would like to work out eariler, but I can't deal with shaking/tembling all day.
Intensity/Form: Just the basic interval training button on my treadmill. I go for an hour, it ends up being a distance of about 5 miles. I usually warm up for about 5 minutes, stretch, then get more intense.
Gym: Been out of the gym since about January. Combination of sickness and depression. Actually, the other way around. Sickness caused depression. I feel a lot better now though!

'Cept for the shakes.
Diet: Um, pretty plain. Kashi cereal in the mornings with milk (soy). Lunch is usually tinned tuna, with a spinach salad (with tomato, onion, peppers, etc) and some crackers. Mid morning/afternoon snacks: yogurt, apples, peice of cheese, boiled egg whites or another small can of tuna . It doesn't sound like much, but I am eating enough, I feel full during the day, and aim for about 1500 calories. What to eat after my workout is always a toughy. I'm trying to do like my old trainer said and eat something sweet, but it's kinda disheartening to eat chocolate right after I spent the last hour sweating and working out hard. Dinner is along the same vein as lunch - most often some steamed veggies and 4-5 ounces of chicken or fish - maybe some rice or baked potato if I really want it. I tend to like a lot of repetition in my diet, so I'm unsure if this is where I'm going wrong?
I always try to eat 20 minutes or so before I exercise. I take a Multi-vitamin. Get lots of sleep.
I hope it's not something stupidly obvious that I'm doing wrong.
Edit: Wanted to add recently found a super - fun mold problem all over my apartment, so any health issues I'm having might be attributed to that. Not sure. Pretty pissed about the mold though, as that's whats likely caused my prolonged colds/ear-infections/coughs all winter.
