When JFDI Fails

So, I finished week one of my new job.
Do I love it. Yes!
Did I train all week? No.

Why?

Because I don't have time!

I know, Mish's FAVOURITE EXCUSE. Everyone has time. YaddahYaddahYaddah, but my day looks like this.

5.30am - Wakeup
7.00am - Leave for train
9.00am - Arrive at work
5.30pm - Leave work
7.00pm - Get home
9.00pm - Bed
RINSE AND REPEAT

When the effingMcEFF am I supposed to work out? I tried to get up at 4.30am and train. Didn't happen. I tried to get the energy to run after work but I only have 2 hours to eat dinner and do whatever work I have leftover that I need to do at home. If I'm not in bed by 10 at the LATEST I struggle heaps the next day. I can't work out at lunch because I have so much to do that I work through it every day, and I can't see that changing anytime soon.

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TRAIN.

JFDI isn't cutting it. I have no idea what to do, which sucks because since starting 12WBT the best thing I've gotten from it is 100% control over my life and my actions.

So I'm taking it back.

Every day I'm going to get up progressively 10 minutes earlier until I can wake up at 4.30 easily. I'll go out for a run every morning, just gradually lengthen them as I get more time. I will get out of the mindset that if I can't commit to an hour it's not worth trying at all. That's fucking ridiculous.

On Sundays I will start pre-cooking ALL my meals instead of just some so that I don't need to waste time cooking when I get home and I can get more work done and go to bed earlier.

I'm also going to get a PT to work out with on Saturday mornings to make sure I really smash each and every SSS. Since I don't have time to get to the gym I will be able to afford one so no worries there.

I will remember that there are lots of people on the program who have screaming babies to wake them up at night and still smash the early mornings sessions and that I have nobody to look after but myself and have the EASY END OF THE STICK.

I will also remember how far I've come and how I desperately do not want to gain weight, and even more than that, I don't want to lose my fitness. Who would have thought that fitness would become a priority over looks? Times have changed.

I'll update all y'all on Friday with my progress.

Now I'm off to introduce myself on the forums and pass out until another huge day tomorrow. Bring it.
