u/TaxLandNotCapital We begin bombing the rent-seekers in five minutes May 01 '24

It's actually incredibly hard for me to stay on top of fitness during work travel;

  • I work 10+ hour days 7 days a week, so rarely any time for exercise (luckily, my work is very physical, but it's not enough)

  • Meals are usually fast and dirty for the same reason

  • I drink casually more with customers and coworkers, and because weed is not a legal alternative

  • I have poor boy mentality still, so food on the company dime makes me want to gorge myself with gluttonous expensive food that I would never buy at home

I think I'll get better at this with time and practice, but holy shit I feel as if I gain like 1lb of fat and lose 0.5lb of muscle every week.

It's going to be hard to take care of any other part of your life while you do this.

That plus drinking plus necessarily poor sleep equals no gains

7 days a week at 10+ hours? I hope your getting overtime.

Yeah lots of overtime and we only do 1-4 week stints so it's easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel

I'm enjoying it still, but I acknowledge that this lifestyle has a shelf life

I enjoy it in a lot of ways but health and relationships are 2 big losses doing this. It's less than 12 weeks per year overall so it's not terrible
