I am very frustrated right now. 2006 has gotten off to a very bad start with my training. December was a tough month for me at work. With my schedule and with the holidays, I reduced my workouts to 2x a week - no sweat, I was going to kick it into high gear in '06.
Between my 3 kids, my wife and myself, at least 2 people in my house have been sick every day this year (either vomiting, diarrhea or fevers). This has meant that I have gotten up in the middle of the night every single night, sometimes for 2-3 hours at a time comforting, cleaning up rooms and doing laundry. I am averaging about 4 hours of sleep per night so far and I haven’t been able to increase my workout frequency yet. I am losing muscle mass too because of the stress and lack of sleep.
I know there are people who are far worse off than me so i shouldn’t complain, but no one else that I know would understand my frustration at quickly losing gains that come painfully slow to me. Anyone else have similar frustrations with life interfering with training?
