My general strategy is to do 3 full body workouts (I'd actually be thrilled with two, but I'll start out ambitious). Most of the exercises I picked came from the book Strength Training for Triathletes (just another way I'm a triathlon poser)
I can do some variation of most of these exercises at home if need be, but I think I am going to try to get to the gym to do most of my training. It's a lot easier to focus on getting in that last rep when you're not thinking about water boiling over on the stove or what someone is doing with your laundry because you left it in the dryer too long.

It took me about 40-45 minutes to do the Sunday workout, which is what I was going for. We'll see how it goes on school/work days, but I have easy dinners planned for tonight and Thursday, and I got all the laundry done last weekend (woot) to give myself some flex time.
Last night's dinner was roasted salmon with potatoes and mushrooms.
I actually tinkered with this a lot because I realized I didn't have the ingredients to make the sauce. Instead I made the salmon with tahini and honey (ala HEAB) and sprinkled the mushrooms with garlic and the sweet potatoes with paprika (and later catsup). It was pretty good, but not great. I'd like to try it again, following the directions this time. It takes awhile to cook, but most of that time is hands-off.
And... oh yeah... that running thing. I'm doing 8mi this morning. My last longer run until the 10k on Sunday.
Have a great Tuesday, all.
