Thinking ahead to 2012 goals

In 2012, I would like to be able to:

1. Complete a 5k. I'm planning on doing one in March.
2. Do a pull-up.
3. Do a split.
4. Find a way to eat somewhat less haphazardly - plan more, go nuts less.
5. At the very least, every day go for a walk or ride the bike to nowhere.

I have a few challenges, though. I have to be at work too early to do anything in the morning, and I'm starting a second job 3x week that will give me 3 10-hour days. Feeding myself during the day and getting food-prep made easy those days is going to be super important. Otherwise, I know I'll stop at the store on the way home and shove a candy bar down my face.

So, I'd need to make sure that I can get a good breakfast (that can be eaten in about 10 minutes at 7:20 a.m.), split lunch into a meal for my lunch break (I usually get to sit down with my food around 11:45), have a healthy snack I can eat in the car from Job A to Job B (2:30ish), and a dinner that won't be too hard to put together when I get home so I can be eating by 7.

Also, this presents an interesting challenge in that I need to find the time to exercise.
