Hi fellas. Not sure if this is the right section to post this, but here goes.

Where shall I start?...

As some of you know I have been training now since June 2005. I moved to Nottingham in November this year.

The problem is that my motivation, since moving to Nottingham I've hot rock bottom, the move took it out of me (only got 72 hours to move into new house and pack)

I have had a cold now for the last two weeks, its speak to my chest now. In addition to the cold I have had no motivation in going to my new gym that I've joined, I haven't been now for three weeks.

I am proud of the results I have achieved, I feel a different person and I look a totally different person, the fat has gone and the muscle has increased.

I've got a new job (I have been out of work previously for three months) in Nottingham, only working 30 hours a week.

I just don't know what to do, I really enjoyed the gym visits, my programme (three workouts) evolved and became very good.

Dunno what to do about the gym....I miss it, was my life. But I don't know where I am going now.

Its December now, I work afternoons and evenings, I get up around 9am, and I dont do anything until i go to work - this is totally different to what I have been doing.

Appreciate your help and thoughts guys.

Once you get back in the gym you'll wonder what all the confusion was about.

Think about the effort you went to in order to get in shape and think how hard it will be to do again if you lose all your gains.

Only you can get yourself training again. You'll only get the same response from people here that you already know within yourself.

Shift work is a bummer mate. I do them. Somedays I'm training at 6am, 7am and sometimes 10am!! Your body seems to not know where it is...

It's all about preperation mate. Get your head on it and you'll be fine.

I was out for 6 months and been back 4 weeks now. Hardest thing EVER getting back into it.

You'll be fine mate.

ure still on cycle mate, so get ure ass down the gym and kick the **** out of it!!!

yea, as the guys say, just get back in there.
i worked night shift for years(6pm-6am), and trained through-out. I got my approx 8 hours kip, good breakfast, went to the gym at 3pm, then i had time to get back home for another meal and prepared my food for work before going back to work at 6pm. Its all about getting your mind set into what you want to achieve!
