The New York winter can be quite hard on the psyche. It isn't so much the cold as it is the length and darkness. Getting out of bed at 6 am when its pitch black and going to lift with several layers of clothing isn't a lot of fun. Also, it is easier to gravitate toward " comfort foods" than a bodybuilding menu. After all, there aren't many opportunities to show off your physique right now, so why bother? Is it really worth all the sacrifices?
In short: yes! Every meal, every rep sets me apart from those who cant do it. It makes me feel good about myself and life as such. Bodybuilding is more than a sport , it is therapy, almost a religion. So keep on training and eating right! Besides, you wont be in shape for a July 4th bash when you start training on Memorial Day.
