oh the cold weather.. - Bodybuilding Discussion on Bodybuilding.net Training Forum

TunaMan · 02-19-2008, 05:15 PM

Ok so I love lifting and all..but I hate running on treadmills, but i can't run outside due to Wisconsin cold weather and snow..it's retarded..and @ my gym there is nothing else or any room to do anything such as jump roping. I have to lose bodyfat..i feel so depressed because i lift and all but i still have high bf..prob around 20%..and i remember when i was running everyday after i was working out i dropped so much bf and now i gained it all back..i weigh about 200 and was 169 at one point..it sucks and feel like shit and i hate school and work then working out..idk

if it's just my hectic schedule that i don't want to do anything anymore but advice would be nice..going for a kinesiology degree for health+fitness management but the classes seem vigorous..chemistry,anatomy etc..along with a part-time job and working out and visiting my gf 45 minutes away from where i live and being with her..DOES ANYONE ELSE GO THROUGH THIS!!??!?! if so i need your sympathy...ASAP..thankyou

Tuna, I feel for you...I really do, but it could be worse. For example, you could be married with 2 kids (ages 3 and 1) full time active duty military with 34 people working for you full-time on a $75 million budget serving over 150,000 military retirees and beneficiaries. Oh and by the way with starting a Masters degree program try and fit in 4 days in the gym. Just a very personal example. Just about everyone on the site is busy so yes we feel for you (at least a little), but don't get discouraged....just train smart. Good luck.

yea man..life sucks..but then again I just know if i never do it my life will mean nothing..therefore just gotta do what you gotta do..blah!

Ross86 · 02-19-2008, 05:52 PM

Yeah, same thing here. Work about 30 hrs/wk + school + school work + making it to the gym...no time. It can be discouraging. Just remember that it's all a slow process...stick with it. The results will come. Dump your girlfriend...that will give you a lot more time!

i think your gunna haveto use a tredmill bud. and maybe get your gf to move closer to you/dump her.

Pitysister · 02-19-2008, 06:16 PM

get rid of the woman

i agree with them.

widdoes2504 · 02-19-2008, 06:22 PM

You will be alright. Just be careful about the girlfriend cause dumping can cause a lot of other problems later on.....

we've been dating for more then a year and a half..and i don't want to go searching for a girl right now..i love her altho i am young and it may be gay to others its just how i am plus she's smart and will be financially set and i'm really close with her parents and family...i just couldn't do it...i'll make ends meet though! thanks for the advice.

Cheer up mate. You've got lots to be happy about. Think more about the positive stuff like you do have a gf that you're close with, you are going to they gym and doing something for yourself, you're able to go to school etc.

Just keep smashin the metal,
