productive as you have been in the
past, and that you are not quite as
open to going that extra mile for the
company. If you have a spouse, it can
take a strain on your relationship as
they will have to be very
understanding that you are so
focused on reaching your goals that
you might be slightly more irritable.
You might not have the attention
span to pay attention to small details
and help out around the house. That
you might be gone from the house a
little longer because of all the
training you have to do.
It also takes a huge toll on the
immediate personal relationship
with yourself. Your sex drive might
decrease because your body is
exhausted from the training and
caloric deficit. You will not have as
much time to do the activities you
love. You will have to override the
feelings of being tired and wanting to
relax because you have to do cardio.
You will feel alone at times and like
you are depriving yourself of time
with friends and family. You might
also feel like you are being selfish
and you might not like this.
Unfortunately, you are being selfish,
but it is part of the sport. This is why
it is very important to let those
around you know that you love them
and that you value their support.
