Hi que_66
I'm new to the forum but I know EXACTLY how you feel. I hate to say it but I think it's the turning 40 thing. I magically gained 15 lbs what seems overnight 3 and half years ago when I turned 40. I do have a desk job but I don't think that was it. Your body adapts to daily routines so fast that even though I was walking to and from work ( total of 60 minutes, and I'm a fast walker), I still gained. In February of this year I finally to take back the time that was MINE. felt a little guilty at first but at least I've managed to shed 18 lbs and I feel much better. I don't usually have time to work out until after dinner and finish up at around 10pm but I sleep WAY better and I'm a much better person for it. Is there no way you can slip in at least a half hour for yourself. Maybe a circuit one day and then cardio the next.
Chin up I know it's hard but you should really try and find a way.

I’m trying to eat healthy and make sensible choices, I still track everything that goes in my mouth but the lack of a controlled, deliberate exercise regimen clearly shows. I weigh the same but my clothes are tighter and I look “squishy.” The fat isn’t going anywhere and I think I’m loosing muscle instead.
Working 2 jobs doesn’t leave a lot of time for anything but sleeping and playing catch up and I can’t give up any more sleep because I don’t get enough of that now. Getting 6 hrs or less every nite is starting to show.
I’ve even asked a few friends about how I could tweak my routine so that I’m maximizing my time in-between jobs to get normal stuff taken care of (laundry, cleaning, etc.) I’m tweaked out.
You’d think that the constant activity at job 2 would be sufficient to burn the calories that I’m taking in but it isn’t. (I’m still running 10-12x bodyweight for my calorie range & I take Sesapure, CB & Glucorell religiously.) Yes, I’m active the entire time I’m at job 2 and I even try to break a sweat every day that I work but I’m here to tell you that just being “more active” and not working out deliberately and not lifting just isn’t freakin working for me. I wish I knew how to get paid to exercise.
I miss exercising.
I miss muscle soreness.
I miss my quiet time or my “me” time that lifting provided.
I don’t like being squishy.
Obviously this wasn’t the plan I had for myself at age 40.
Is there anything you can do to make time for the things you miss? Anything? 
)For right now the finances just aren't there AND to top it off I smacked myself in the face and my front tooth is loose now so I'll probably have to go to the dentist soon. I have sh*t for luck. I refuse to give up.
and the truck got worked on and isn't currently leaking any fuel.
