Weekly Weigh-In -10/31/09
Big surprise this Halloween! My weight is down about 6 lbs. I wish I could say this was because of my hard work and dedication but I’m afraid it’s a side effect of my Crohn’s being mildly active all week. Plus starting last weekend -during my show no less - I developed a cold (no fever, just congestion and coughing -not the flu thank goodness). But that’s on the wane now so I’m doing better with my breathing at least. Stomach really bothered me last night so much so that I had to cancel my plans to attend a friends show, but I’m feeling pretty chipper today.
So now that things have calmed down for me it’s time to re-evaluate my workout. Granted in less than a week I’ll be off to sunny Hawaii (can’t wait) with a stop on the way back to sunny southern California (mecca of the bodybuilding world among other things). I anticipate staying active while on vacation. I’ve been to the hotels I’ll be staying at so I know that they have relatively good gyms. Of course hiking, swiming and maybe even surfing will be the order of the day when my conference is over. So I plan to come back no worse for the so-called layoff.
But, what should I do for the winter? I’m hearing good things about this 5×5 training…maybe I should actually continue with the weight loss and bodyfat reduction. But the urge to finally build arms that stretch the tape past 18" is still there. What to do, what to do?
Suggestions anyone?
