Well its Monday....

...and I really need to look at how I can better manage my time than I am currently. Its getting tough. I think I am finally seeing why some folks just shut it down completely when life decides to smack 'em upside the head with responsibility, relationships, work, bills, etcetcetcetc. Once your routine gets busted all up its tough making that switch and finding a new schedule. Granted I'm basically working 3rd shift at the moment and putting another 4-5 hours in my other two jobs. So 14 hour days with intermittent sleeping periods really does a number on the body. I think I got a plan its just putting it into practice is the tough part. So anyways think of this blog post as a help in time management or maybe just some insight.

Roughly my morning ends around 8-9am. I get into work anywhere from 1-2am if you're wondering how my morning ends when most of my friends are likely still sleeping. But theres the key to get my training in. I figure thats the go time since I'm still slightly amped up from being at the warehouse all morning so I need to start capitilizing on it before I get legitimately tired. I figure I can squeeze a good hour of training in right there before I crash. Which, if planned right, I can get home, nap, and get about my day. The other option is to just go to bed early like a normal human being would. But sleeping before 7pm is just wrong. Honestly, the more Im doing this the more the thought of a 7pm bed time sounds pretty damn good. Theres another factor into training immediately after work BEFORE I go home. Thats the key phrase; DO NOT GO HOME! For any reason whatsoever. Once I get home Im done. Plopped into my computer chair and its game over for anything physical. So with that I need to have my gear at the ready. Head straight to the gym. And get shit done. Period. I can be tired later.

I figure if I can get that routine going and make it daily I should be able to get back to my old self a little bit. I have to because damn Im getting weak. I've lost a bunch of weight (down 15lbs to about 245) and my strength numbers are showing it. I will say though that my forearms and lower legs are looking sweet. Its just too bad it's just toned out muscle and not legitimate strong muscle tissue that has built up. I figure I can fix that with about a 4-8 week cycle. Probably going to hit a GVT program that I used to do. I'll fill that in more later on.
