I have done zero training since Sunday. Monday morning I woke up with a slight cold that has persisted. Past experience shows if I try training through something like this, I just get really sick. Next week I have once a year job training that I would prefer to be healthy for. It will be a full week.
Following that, I am going to focus on patterns that keep me healthy and training. The penalty for one heavy day of activity like last Sunday should not be a cold. That is an indicator that I am allowing other areas of my life to generate an unwarranted amount of stress.
Initially I am going to make a point to stop working through lunch and start leaving work on time. I am also going to remove refined grains from the menu, whether eating out or at home. My daily consumption of processed food needs to return to once a week at most.

I get to the stage where training slips away from the forefront of my daily activities as well. You will find a spark that will get you training seriously again, even if you goal is different for a while. What i did see the other day, which i think ill get for christmas, which could help you tick off one or more of your goals, is the new Steve Cotter dvd. Its just about pistols, and pistols progression. You may or may not think its worth the money, $40-$45 on amazon, but it might be just what you need to start train and tick off a few more goals.

Thanks for the follow up guys. I am moving along and healthy, just watching my training take a back seat for awhile. As Elliot says, the spark will come sooner or later.
I'm not prepared to spend money on any lifting DVDs or books at this point. After the Perform Better seminar this past summer, I feel like I need in person training to to really make new things click. Reply to this
