I just don't have time to live healthy, between work and school. Beyond preparing meals, what else can I do?

As for your work and school, join the club. I've had a few clients who are full-time single mothers going to night school and working multiple jobs.
It's not an impossible schedule, you are just choosing it to be. Everyone has the same hours in the day. If a woman I know whose husband was recovering from brain surgery could take care of him, teach him how to walk and talk and rehabilitate him, raise her children, work full time, run a part-time coaching practice and lose over 100 pounds (45 kilograms) at the same time, I know you can, too, if you choose.

There are always challenges, the key is to live in the solution. Your suggestion of preparing food is a great one, and a start. The two keys are going to be to find what little time you have during the week and focus on that to prepare meals that are "grab and go" throughout the week (I did this when I was working as a manager at a software firm, going to night school, and running a part-time training business - I'd cook on Sunday and tupperware/bag the meals and just grab them).

The other challenge is to really focus on time management and organization. Take some courses or read a book. If you're like most people, you probably spend at least 5 or 10 minutes in the car each day. That's the perfect time for a book on audio.

You can succeed just by creating 15 - 30 minutes each day. It may seem impossible but let's face it. Rest is important, but at times, it doesn't have to be the main priority. You can cut into 15 or 30 minutes of rest and create that time to manage your coming day. The human body can do amazing things when pushed to reveal it's inner power, and this should not be a condition for the rest of your life, so it's not a permanent solution but one that "rolls with the punches" so to speak.

One of my favorite books related to organization and focus is The Power of Focus: How to Hit Your Business, Personal and Financial Targets with Absolute Certainty by Jack Canfield.
