Fell off the wagon

Post by FeeFee »

.... :cry:
hey guys
I sorta fell off the wagon these past 4-6 weeks. job schedule has changed and I have barely been working out, sometimes just once per week. This week I am only going to get a chance to go to the gym maybe twice. I get home late and have ot be at work veyr early, so no time to work out at home, ro go running or anything. It will be this way until the end of December. eating habits have also suffered as well.

Eating crap for lunch, because I dont have time to prepare anything, and often only getting to eat 1-2 meals per day. On top of that, stress level has escalated due to rpesent duties at work :cry: .

I am sure I have lost all progress and now I am just wondering, what can I do in terms of diet to ensure that I dont balloon out of control by December?

Make easy choices.

Try something like this.

Lunch

Two thin slices of Whole-grain Wheatbread, with sliced Turkey or Chicken. You could add some Almonds here too.

Or you can buy stuff called Turkey Ham, which is very low fat, and use that, again with Amonds if you wish.

You could also accessorise the Sandwiches, so you don't have the same thing, with stuff like Lettuce, or a few other things.

If you're worried about a lack of Veg, you can eat raw stuff like Celery or Carrots as examples, as some Veg are fine raw.

Low Fat Cheese as snacks, as they're a perfect source of Carbs, Proteins, Healthy Fats and Calcium and Vit D.

Those are some useful ideas, you can incorporate, as no real prep is required.

suggestions are this:

food
- make up all your food on the weekends...cook up some casselroles (veg, meat etc), salads or whatever so that you only need to pack and take it with you to work each day...aim for at least 3 meals and than 2 snacks which tyou'll also take with you (yoghurt, raw veg etc)

training
- weekends are your go...do a lower body workout sat and an upper body one on sunday OR a heavy full body day sat and medium to light full body sun OR heavy lower / light upper sat and heavy upper / light lower sun...that way you only need to find 1 day during the week to do something which would be best on a wednesday which could be 10 - 20mins of bodyweight circuits before / after workout or at lunch
