Stress it taking a toll on my workouts
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!

That is a very difficult schedule, Cait, but the fact that you understand it will make you successful with your fitness goals!
