So I’ve realized why I’m not making as much progress as I should have made in 2 months - it’s stress and a constant mind battle.

I work out everyday 5-6 days a week, at 5am, commute 4 hours a day (to and from work) and work in an office. I’m stressed for many reasons 1. difficultly of my job 2. not having a physically active job 3. being alone so much during the day 4. by the time I get home from work it’s time for bed. Stress seems to make me crave more carbs. I’m also stressed because last week was a bad week for me on top of being sick and not being able to work out, I didn’t chose many healthy options for meals. I need to hold firm to cut out the carbs after 3pm and incorporate more cardio - my weight lifting program is fantastic and I’ve seen results in that area!

So I’ve been continuously working out since November 23, 2008 and feel great. For the past week unfortunately due to unforeseen events I only made it to the gym once. I’m going back to the gym this afternoon - Back and chest is on the menu. Tomorrow, monday, is triceps, tuesday abs and biceps, wednesday legs, thursday chest, friday and saturday are cardio at least days. This past week I’ve also felt like I’ve had no energy! This may be for 2 reasons - 1. lack of working out 2. STRESS due to work/life situations.
