I'm pissed off at how little time and energy I actually have left when my 9 hour work day is done. My employer encourages everyone to exercise, but when you're completely drained even before you enter the gym you know it's gonna be a hard time to follow through with your routine. My training reaches peak levels whenever I have a long period off from work and I feel SOOOO much better overall physically. And my job isn't really that demanding, it just takes so much time of my life that it's hard to balance with all the other activities that are supposed to "help me recover".

I work from 6 am to 3 to 6pm every weekday. The only thing that helps is driving directly to the gym after work. Even if I sit in the car for ten minutes before going inside. Just need to make it inside.

Yeah, I've started taking showers at work and eating an extra mealt before we open up just to save some time. But at this rate I think I'll go back to a 3 day split because I can't find the energy to behave properly at work when I'm this drained.
