The older I get, the less bothered I am about missing gym time.

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.

I like to go backpacking overseas, so I've gone over a month (5-6 weeks) without any training at all but keep active with lots of walking and  still try eat good food.

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

No, I'm actually training all through my vacation weeks. No drinks no nothing. Broccoli and carrots everyday, because it's really worth it in the end.
