Jobs and Eating

[Conan21]

hey guys

What kind of jobs do you have that you guys can get breaks to eat multilple times. My dad really doesn't like he whole weight lifting thing. I just graduated college and hes always telling me this is gonna stop once u get a real job and that they won't put up with it. Its really a blow to hear this cuz w8lifting is so important to me. all my others jobs i was able to work around it a lil but not sure how professional places are.

what did u guys say to your employers to have them cut u some slack.

I'm a computer programmer... I think most office jobs there's not much problem taking 15 minutes to heat up your food and eat every 2-3 hours, I know I have no problem (other than comments from cow-orkers). Meetings sometimes are a problem, I just try and anticipate and time things, or step out during the meeting and grab something quick like a shake.

When there's a will, there's a way.

It's probably the non-professional job, like production work, where it would be a hassle. When I worked in a Steel Mill, there were certain jobs where you couldn't leave until someone relieved you. I wasn't bodybuilding then, but still could've probably timed meals between heats.

How bad do you want it?

Its a simple matter of will , and love for the sport , let me tell ya a little story in my life .

When I was 15 I started working in a machine plant lifting steel drums for trucks ona canvayer belt assemnly line packing brown bag lunches and only getting a 15 minute break 1x per day but all 15 minutes i was eating lol, these mother fuckers gave me a hard time talked shit and made me do more work then i should have my arms and forearms were sore as hell almost everyday but as soon as it was time to punch out i was fucking flying outta there in my stinking sweaty ass work clothes right to the gym throw on a tank and hit the weights , I was fucking 15.

Then my old man told me well if ya dont like working in that machine plant what else can you do and i said construction so after 5 long hard worked yrs i decided i wanted to do concrete work for a bunch of Italians who once again gave me shit and made me do the heavy ass hook drilling on my knees drilling fucking holes in concrete for hook rings Im talking a whole fucking streets worth only taking 2 breaks to eat 2-3 cold chicken breasts the boss fucking pissed me off so many times but i couldnt let it get to me so id kid around and say" well thats all you got for me today" and laugh and hed say "the fucking french to proud to admit the truth" sure he was right i was fucking wooped, i had alot more in me then he bargained for , they all laughed and told me dont think youll be lifting weights today and id agree with them id say yeah i guess your right this jobs takes the life outta me , but little did they know at 6:00pm everyday i was hitting the gym with my 2nd wind and i swear by this it was the strongest ive ever been for my size at that time , it was incredible , the burn, pump and explosiveness , my old man thought i had lost my mind and he was right i did LOL.

I guess its just a matter of will.

im kinda laid off/inbetween jobs now, but at my last few jobs like personal trainer, bank processesor, gym manager, body piercing, I would always bring me a cooler to work with my days worth of food, cold brown rice and chicken SUCKS so i had to cheat a bit and flavor it to death with some good bbq sauce, but besides that it wasnt a big deal just bring enough to snack on throughout the day to stay full, and make it healthy as it gets, if u know ur bringing tons of chicken and usually eat it with high suger bbq sauce just dont bring it! u are forced to work with what u have, pure chicken with no simple carbs.. it sucks for the time being but ur so bored and fustrated atleast in my case that you just end up eating it all anyway...

I lost a ton of weight at an older job as a trainer by just bringing the same food, of brocli, brown rice, plain chicken, and protien powder mixed with water in shaker cup when needed... i just would get hungry or bored and snack on the most healthiest food available all day during work and diet alone would get me real cut up from that approach...

I know what you mean I have recently been promoted at work but being in management and on salary doesnt seem to be all what it is cut up to be. Working 60-70 hrs a week I lost 13lbs the first month. I have lost more weight than when I was doing physical labor due to lack of sleep and nutrition.

Now I am trying to eat again so the weight has stopped comming off thank god and I am back at training and on supps. But going from 205 to about 192 sucks. I am on the road to recovery making to time to eat at work coworkers dont seem to understand though but oh well BB is part of my life not a hobby. MM

...

i just eat whenever i am supposed to...

i also like to use one or two shakes mixed with one solid meal throughout the 8-10hrs i am working...

anytime anyone has ever said anything to me my reply is (and its true)

look i only take about 2 min to drink these shakes...i aint taking 20 5min smoke breaks throughout the day nor am i going 30min over on my lunch hr like the rest of the peole that work here...plus i am the most productive person here, if i wasnt doing what i was supposed to do nobody would have computers to work on and since everyone can work i'm doing my job...

or something to that effect...


sometimes if you tell people up front what the deal is it works out better for you..

my nickname at work is "Snacks" cuz every hour i have to step out to eat...

i'm a trainer at the gym and they don't mind at all... i'm pretty much the only one there who has any clue what a "diet" is

the real strict manager doenst give me a hard time but i can she HATES it when i take a break (and if i'm eating 2 chicken breasts, brocolli, and brown rice i'm only gone 5-7 minutes MAX.... so i'm not milking it either)... but she's out of shape and doesn't exactly look like a trainer... so she just lets me... whatever

when i'm bouncing on the weekends at the club, i'm at the door from 9pm to 2:30 am... i just bring some shakes with me, with olive oil to bump the calorie count up to 600 or so and stick them behind the door, at 11pm and 1:30am i'll pound the shake... then i'm good til i get home at 3am.... then i just eat as many chicken breasts as i can and go to bed

people always talk stupid shit when i'm drinking my shake outside the club but then again, i can just not them in or bounce their skulls of the curb... that shuts 'em up
