I'm not posting this for any recognition or anything like that, just as an example of "working with what you've got." The most common thing I hear from clients is "I don't have time." Whether it's to train, to eat, to pin, to sleep, to bones, whatever... So here is a typical day for me.
0330 - Wake
0400 - Arrive at Gym for lifting
0500 - Hit the shower
0530 - Post Workout Nutrition while driving to work
0600 - Get to Work
0900 - 10 oz egg whites (muscle egg), handful of almonds
1130 - Prank Call PoB
1200 - 10 oz egg whites (muscle egg), handful of almonds
1215 - Check SI
1400 - Receive half-naked photos from Manny1656, strictly for tracking progress up to the show
1500 - 10 oz egg whites, BCAAs, 1 cup blueberries
1600 - Yell at someone, fix their mess
1700 - Leave work
1730 - Arrive and gym for cardio
1820 - Leave Gym, call clients
1830 - Get home
1900 - Dinner
1905 - Email clients, do diets, get rejected by the wife
2000 - Bed
Now, that is for a day when I have to work (5 days per week). On my days off I tend to be a bit more relaxed, but that is when I get the bulk of my Helios Nutrition work done (get caught up on emails, finish diets, make calls to partners, etc).
As you can see, on the days I work I literally have zero time to myself. That is a sacrifice that I choose to make for my health and for my goals. I have found the balance in my life by enjoying the days that I can. My days off are indeed full of Helios type things, but I reserve evenings for my wife, and I make sure that I do my fair share of the work.
I do not believe that being this rigid is for everyone, but I have come to realize that for ME PERSONALLY, I must remain extremely disciplined in order to get what I want. I have found that it is entirely too easy for me to fall off the wagon if I don't.
It takes more than one person though. I have the support of my wife and my good friends. While I joke about Manny1656 texting my half-naked photos, the truth is he is my "battle buddy" in all of this. He holds me accountable and I him. I can not overstate the importance of this. When life sucks, and all you want to do is sleep in, eat a pizza, and drink a milkshake you have those comrades beside you pushing you past your breaking point. You emerge much stronger and more disciplined.
