I had to take 2 weeks off about 2 weeks ago for work reasons, got back into it for a week, then got sick and had another week off last week, and next week I fly away for 3 weeks holiday.

Coach Huang is an inspiration for us older guys - but at the moment I'm as much in need of mental time off as physical. I'm sure I'll be fired up when I get back.

Hardly lose anything and maybe takes just two weeks to get back where I was.
Actually, come back leaner and probably even looking better.
