I've just completed 1 week of my exercise schedule (I'm not attempting to follow the nutrition schedule since it's not possible for me to follow it, eating in a mess as I do). I must say that it feels GREAT! I have to thank the community on this site for providing great motivation and inspiration for me. I used to work out fairly regularly till about a year back when I stopped it, becoming lazy after a long vacation. And restarting it had been difficult - I used to make excuses, seeking examples from people around me who never worked out and were in pathetic state of fitness. And though I didn't put on any weight during this phase, I certainly started feeling less energetic, which was depressing. After discovering this site and going through many posts and profiles, I started feeling inspired. I told myself, hey, it's possible to be busy and still be able to work out. I've started working out thrice a week at home for the time being, plus the 12 week ab exercises. And it feels FANTASTIC to be back on track. Thanks again.

Why cant you use the nutrition program -------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.

FatsoLogic Posts: 28 Joined: 2002/07/14	2002/07/22, 11:49 AM Hey folks, no. I really can't manage to go buy things I want to eat - I'm working something like 20 hrs a day, 7 days a week. So the only option I have is to eat what they provide in the mess.

Even stockbrokers don't put in that many hours and their jobs are considered high stress. Be careful! Just like weight training, you're overtraining yourself with your job... -------------- _Robert_ Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

FatsoLogic Posts: 28 Joined: 2002/07/14	2002/07/24, 03:14 PM Actually I'm in a Neurosurgery training programme as a senior resident, and that's a real demanding job. Till I finish this course, i.e. for next 1 year, things are going to be pretty much the same. After that, of course, things will ease down a bit - depending on how much I want to work, but the coming year is probably going to be worse. I'm just about managing to find time to eat whatever I can get my hands on, and have restarted working out for last 1 week.
ischjli Posts: 408 Joined: 2002/03/13	2002/07/24, 04:41 PM Oh, only neurosurgery. Whew, I thought it was something REALLY hard. Well, after a few years of getting inside peoples heads you should be able to buy your own gym and eat and workout as much as you like. Good luck. PS. Will you give an FT discount when you start practicing. Definately a good way to whip up some business!! j/k (hope I won't need it)

FatsoLogic Posts: 28 Joined: 2002/07/14	2002/07/25, 03:11 PM HA....HA....HA.... ischjli! You give me fresh hope in life. With the thought of being able to buy my own gym and eat and workout as much as I like, I can certainly go on for next one year. Oh, and I sure do hope you'd never need to avail yourself of a neurosurgeon's services, discount or no discount. It's not the pleasantest (if I'm allowed to use such a word) experience in a patient's life!!!!
ischjli Posts: 408 Joined: 2002/03/13	2002/07/25, 03:32 PM Well, I had the opportunity to hang out with a couple of med students in residency last weekend. The salarys they were talking about making were in the neighborhood of 150k - 300k per year. Not too shaby! So, you should be able to do whatever you want provided you invest wisely (hell even if you don't invest all that wisely!). Amazing though, neurosurgery. Wow. Hang in there. Don't become one of your own patient's! -------------- Ischjli "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -- T. S. Elliot
