I have been quite busy lately............ up till this Monday anyway. This past Sunday I had got married to my wonderful wife and what a glorious day it was!!
But everything that led up to the wedding wasn't anywhere close to being glorious. Things were going wrong the whole week, from hotel reservations for guests, the weather (our wedding was outside), incorrect orders, a stressed fiance (which equals a stressed me) and to top it all of my wallet with all my documents and credit cards was stolen. Needless to say, weddings are tougher to plan than I thought (and I thought it was hard)....
Well, I found my refuge at the gym where I let all my stresses out and got ready for each new day. One thing I always scheduled was a workout. Considering it was a very stressful time I made sure the workouts were a little less intense and had less volume than usual. And another thing, I didn't stick to any program or anything because I just came and did what I felt like doing since there was already too much scheduling going on. This made the training more fun and made me more relaxed.
After the wedding my wife and I went to the beach for four days (a mini honeymoon). This was greatly appreciated since we had a very tough month and we needed a break, I can definitely say that I needed a break from training as well as I have a tendency to push myself too hard.
Starting tomorrow I am back on the schedule and I am back in the weight room and basketball gym working towards my goals. I am also excited about my trip to Boston at the end of the month to train with Eric Cressey (www.ericcressey.com). If you don't know who he is then you need to find out....
To sum up my post.....when life is stressful you still need to do the thing that will get you ahead, take time off when you need it, don't let changes in life make you lose your focus, hang around smarter people than you and you will take steps towards your goals......
