I learned there's a difference between being fit and being a competitor. The level of discipline exponentially grows as a competitor.
Being fit = "I can afford to have sweets because I work out".
Competitors = wait until after the show to satisfy that sweet tooth.
This is no easy feat. 4:30am wake-up 5x a week to commute 40 mins to the gym that's close to your job. A job you work 8-9 hours a day. Therefore, meal prep HAS to happen either in the evening (when you just want to put your feet up and watch TV) or during the weekends. Either way, hours are spent in the kitchen to marinate (healthy food does not have to taste bland), cook, measure/weighed, separated into storage bags or plastic wrapped so you don't take a gazillion tupperware containers on the road, and find room in the freezer. I could haul a big ass lunch bag with the tupperware but I don't want to wash so many dishes at work/home and I'm trying to keep bags to a minimum - I do enough weight lifting at the gym.
For any goal, work hard, and then work harder.
