Unless you are trying to become a professional bodybuilder please do not think that the only way to build muscle and stay lean is to live like a bodybuilder. You don’t have to weigh your food, count your calories, spend thousands on supplements monitor your heart during cardio, or carry around cans of tuna "just in case" just stay active, eat clean, and lift hard. You don’t need to be concerned with sleeping too little or sleeping too much, eat a cheeseburger, drink a drank.  Have some fun.  No one will care if you have the best body at the pool if you’re carrying around a cooler full of chicken and flexing in every picture someone takes of you.  I’ve recently started to have more fun and stopped carrying about bodybuilding and switched my goals to staying active, lean, and muscular.  When you have this mindset you don’t get anxious about missing a workout or a meal.  Since then I have noticed no significant negative changes in my body, but I have improved my overall feeling of well being, creativity, energy, re kindled friendships that I would  previously blow off to workout, I’ve also noticed improved flexibility (bc I’m no longer lifting like arnold, but more like an athlete) I do more body weight exercises and have more fun in the gym.  

Basically, if you find yourself depressed and you’re not competing and your ultimate goals is really just to cuddle with girls/boys and look good then you need to break your mind out of that groove and have fun. It’s a lifestyle so LIVE.
