I think you are over applying yourself.
Take the time to be a kid and enjoy life. Being an adult sucks!

I understand the pressure you're under. Good luck with everything!

For quick healthy meals you can take with you:
A basic sandwich with high fiber bread and lean meat, a baggie of vegetables (baby carrots?), maybe some string cheese for snacks.
This is something you can put together with pretty much no thought and doesn't require utensils.
Always try to get some protein with your meals and snacks.

Quick and easy workouts to try that require no planning at all:
Blogilates lots of 10 minute or less workouts
BeFit channel free full exercise videos of all kinds, including short ones

All about weight lifting, including good form and full workout plans:

Quick healthy snacks -- depending on how much of a budget you have, of course:

- Prepackaged hummus (single servings) with baby carrots, cut of celery, etc. is delish
- String cheese and an apple (I also have added a boiled egg for a quick lunch)
- Nut butters of any kind and apple slices or other veggie slices
- Prepared fruit salads (buy fruit on the weekend, wash, cut up into individual bowls and carry to school the next day)
- Deli meats, again with fruit or veggies
- Making healthy meals at home and taking leftovers?

For exercising, I like the 30-day shred. It is very effective and you will loose inches, though not necessarily weight. Jillian Michaels has a number of toning programs that are only 30 min long and her Body revolution program has 30 min cardio or toning. I do not have the latter, but heard it is good. I have a stressful job with long hours and I probably would not do workouts if they were longer than 20-30 min.

Foodwise, I would also recommend raw veggies for snacks or hard boiled eggs.

I was just like you as a teenager, in sports, clubs, band, and the valedictorian. Somebody once said to me, "If you spent half as much time on your body as you do on your education, you would be incredibly fit." It stuck with me. If you want it, you'll make time for it.

And I second 30 Day Shred. 25 minutes per day and I saw results in my arms and abs before the 30 days was even up.

Since you are only 16, just pick whatever 'active' activities you find fun. There's no need for formal exercise if that's not a priority - having fun and being active IS a priority at your age. If you like tennis, make it a priority. If you like swim club, do it!

[QUOTE=shcirerf;4598528]While all of your pursuits/activities and goals are admirable, count me as another person who thinks you are doing too much!

Personally, I think you are headed for a major burnout!

/QUOTE]

The phrase if was thinking of is spreading yourself too thinly but above is spot on.

select your goals plan your goals execute your goals. If you cannot achieve all goals in the time allocated you need to reassess your goals.

Health should be at the top of those goals, otherwise whats the point in all the education you hope to achieve if your not able to use it.
