Needed Time off or Just being a Slacker…
Well, since Thanksgiving I have been missing workouts left and right. I went from a strict 7 days in the gym ?(3 lifting days followed by an abs cardio day with no days off) to hitting maybe 4 days a week lifting. Part of me says "enjoy the time off. you busted your ass for 8 months and now give yourself a break" while the other part is saying "stop being a slacker you should be hard bulking so that you come at the same bodyfat % next summer but with 10 lbs added mass".
I fear somewhat that I will let myself get out of the habbit of looking forward to going to the gym, but also it is nice that durring the holiday I am able to spend time with my friends and family without constantly thinking about diet and if I am missing a workout.
The worst part is that with the slacking I have already done I might be clasified as one of the resolution masses come Jan 1 !!!!

Yes, sometimes you need some time to regroup.
I stopped running (almost two months now) to regroup, yes your bones and joints need some rest some time to recover.
Starting tomorrow, I will do basic running. Maybe the most important run before starting any running season.
Man looking pro, you know how to train hard and smart, give yourself a break (from the iron, keep an eye on the food) and you will be all set to start heavy and a smart 2008
