pufferm’s BodyBlog

The other day i was feeling really blah and not caring about  my diet nor going to the gym. So, I got on bodyspace and posted a blog. A few people wrote me and gave me some advice and some encouragement. That really lifted my spirits and got me back in my grove. I am now eating how I should, resting, taking my vitamins, and working out how I need to. I am out here deployed away from home and all of the normal distractions that I normally would so I need to really take advantage of this time to get in the best shape that i can. Thank you to eceryone that supports me and motivates me to want to try harder.

When I first got here to Afghanistan I was so motivated to go to the gym and stay on top of my diet. These last few weeks I haven’t really cared about my diet or the gym and I have just been really tired. Do to the nature of my job being a medic I am on call at all times and it’s frustrating when I am at the gym and we get called in for traumas. Your adrenaline gets going and then I just loose all my energy and want to go to sleep.  Due to the selection of food sometimes I have to eat things that are not what i would normally eat for my training so I have to revert to tuna and protein shakes. That gets old after awhile. I need help!!!! Anyone have any pointers for me to get motovated???
