The Hard Stuff

So I know I talk about my fitness goals a lot and that’s because I am constantly adding to them.  I am sitting here drinking my protein shake.  Two a day, and they are far from good, but with being on the go all the time, I don’t have time to eat 6 meals a day.

My shakes are a great way to get in the calories and protein I need.  I’ve go 3 weeks left and still am not quite at my goal that I set for this year.  I’m close, and have come a long way but not quite there.  It’s going to be close to pull it off, but I am gunning for it with all I have.

Then it will be time to set goals for the next year.  If you are into fitness at all you know that nutrition and diet is probably even more important and way harder than getting in the gym.  The gym is an hour a day and your done.  Diet is day in day out, every minute.

Food prep is key, you’ve got to plan your meals for the week on the weekend, otherwise the craziness of each week will swallow you up and instead of eating clean, you’ll be swinging through the Mcdonalds drive-thru.

So what are some of your goals, either for this or next year?

And in case you are curious what I drink to cram in my cals, it’s a banana, 2 T. peanut butter, 6 T. heavy whipping cream, Jym protein powder, creatine, whole milk, and yogurt.
