I'm going out of my F**king mind here...

You don't realize how lucky you are to have desk job where you can SIT all day and not burn yourself out. Working construction would have left you tired, over-trained, not making much progress. As long as your diet/cardio/weights/rest are in order, a desk job w/out having to move much is actually the BEST job to have.

You will want to find discipline/motivation from other aspects of life.

You bring up an excellent point. Actually, one I was thinking about myself.....why are there quite a few construction workers, who very possibly don't eat very much or well for that matter, lift incredibly hard for 8-10 hours a day, everyday, and are pretty friggn' big, strong, and many are shredded.....wouldn't this constitue overtraining?

Sure, some are drunks, skinny, obese, etc....but I know a few that are jacked, and eat maybe 3x a day.......

do consider seeking another position, clearly a desk job really depresses you.

Hell no. I spent way to much time pursuing my degree to walk away. Thanks for your concern though.

To everyone I appreciate your thoughts and advice. I think the key is going to be to pick it up in the morning and get my ass out of bed a bit earlier so I can get some AM work in. I think I just need to get the blood flowing early on and keep the pace untill I get to the iron later in the day. I'm just being a whiner about something I should be appreciative for. I guess i should hit the Midol.

I was in a similar rut at work, sitting behind a PC all day. I work with engineers, these people are boring as fuck! No one talks, nothing but the click click click of keyboards all day. I finally wound up bringing my external hard drive with music on it and now I sit here with one of the ear pieces on to listen to the music and one ear open for phone calls, pages, the boss coming my way, etc..... So try listening to some music, it will help you not feel so depressed and trapped in, makes time go a bit faster too.
