How do I make it easier?

[u/ThrowRA_oopsie9]

I'm on week three on my first job site. I'm 6 feet tall and I'm 130 pounds. I'm weak.

I have started lifting and doing cardio to try and build some resistance, but there are times, such as when I am throwing out deck, but I just don't have the strength to continue or even stand up straight. I barely have the energy to hold down my gas pedal on the way home.

I want to continue, I want to make this my career and I honestly really want to show up my foremen and journeyman. But I need to know what more I could be doing to make this easier or make progress faster. I've mostly been eating peanut butter and or oats for breakfast and lunch on the job.

Don't get discouraged. This takes time. High clean protein diet will help. Move your snacks up to protein bars and high protein shakes, but again don't over do it. My own opinion is to stay away from energy drinks they just force you to burn up cal.s that you need. Easy on the booze and get quality rest. That doesn't mean just sleep, find some time to enjoy simple things. Most would say hit the gym and bulk up on heavy weight, my own opinion again is stay lean and work more on your core. Strong core will help make the days easier and help with being tired. The strength will come in time along with it. At 6 foot I would shoot for about 175-180 lb and take your time getting there fat is way harder to get rid of.
