I have had one of the busiest months of my life! My home had water in the basement - which really isn't great having broken wallboard, water to mop, plaster/dirt, etc. strewn through your home gym. I've had to smash out my above-ground pool and run it to the dump.
I've run 5 cubic yards of dirt into the backyard, run many wheelbarrows of sand out, smashed the wrap-around deck that wrapped a non-existant pool.
LOTS of driving to the dump and loading metal, wood, etc. prying of nails, swinging sledgehammers, etc.
Tough to get that time as a dad.
Plus, my job's been demanding investigations into technologies and I've been doing small coding bits on the side, meaning I'm up until 2 am.
TIRED is an understatement. Yet I've been able to keep quality food going down even though I've frequently succumbed to bad eating excuses and when I do they are DOOZIES :( Like yesterday I scarfed 10 donuts. *hangs head in shame*
But here's where YEARS of living well pay off - my physique looks half decent! See, your body chugs along doing what it already knows, like a freight train. It doesn't stop on a dime if things change, sure it starts to slow down but it keeps on going.
People get frustrated when they adopt a healthy lifestyle sometimes - they don't realize the train had been going pell-mell to 'early death' city and they've slowed it down. They expected to see radical transformation in a few weeks. Well, it all depends on how fast you had the train going...
In my case, I had it crusing towards 'good body'-ville. So I got to 'coast' for a while - this is the flip side of that I guess.
My arms are really @#$@ SORE and the tendons are strained from so much wood prying, stone heaving, etc. and sadly there is more to go. Just me you see - my wife is now 2/3rds the way toward the next baby coming. So, you know there is more to life than just training.
On the other hand, I currently REALLY have a reason not to be hitting the gym, but I do NOT have a reason to be slacking on diet. And it's changing today. In fact, it already did :)
