Anyone else been slacking due to the holidays?

[kidkoala]

I've noticed that my training hasn't been consistent from the stress from the holidays and work in general. Hell, I'm still trying to melt that Turkey away.

Hell, I work everyday in a fucking MALL. This time of year really sucks for me. Still getting to the gym 4 days a week. Not killing the weights though.

Just getting there and getting a solid workout in is an accomplishment this time of year.

I have yet to miss a workout this holiday seasone. Also I am trainning just as hard as ever.

 

[smokingunz00]

fuck the holidays, just another day, compared to the gym and lifting.....come on now, keep it up, if you worked so hard at it, why stop now....

 

[DangerousGrounds]

yes I have shoulder injury and taking a break from long cycle over spring, summer, and part of fall. Good time to let receptor clear out before doing another long cycle in Feb I'm hoping.

what holidays?

 

[DangerousGrounds]

I'm opposite most people work out hard in winter and quit spring and look like shit comes summer time. I have never been one to bulk always maintain weight 240lb give or take 15lbs and low body fat yr round.

The gyms are also more crowded in winter (not in summer) so I let my body rest as old injuries get worse in cold weather and try to hit gym a few times a week to maintain gains and have a set of dumbbell's at home.

I try to peak-out around July and after when its hot and your shirt can be taken off, not when bundled up in winter clothing.
just me..

what holidays?

(except the gym is usually closed for X-mas )

 

[JP@Ironology]

I personally take a week off or a little more at or around Xmas and new years. It is the one time of the year when I usually rest and catchup with family and friends. Although, I end up scheming my next plan for the upcoming training year.

Yeah, I have to give my little family atleast one week out the year, lol.

From Halloween thru Thanksgiving to Christmas and even NYE has always been my "weak point" in terms of diet, weights, and cardio.

This year I made a promise to myself that I wasn't going to force myself to play "catch up" for Spring, as I always do.

I'm not saying I've been as loyal as I would have liked in regards to diet and cardio. But, I have gotten some of the best gains in my life over the past 3 months. I figure, that's something of a positive in comparison to years past.

My training hasn't suffered, but it's so hard to get in there on these cold "winter" (not even here yet!) days and get those cardio sweats in. With my mass gains I've made, it'll be that much easier in the upcoming months when I feel it's time.

 

[Konstantis]

last couple weeks have been shit for me...i seem to be losing weight..but my workouts dont feel as repititious...i seem slacking i was doing relaly good for a while, wtf?

 

[Ripped2Shreds]

My diet's been suffering, waiting til after new year's to get back on track. Still working out.

 

[Delinquent]

I haven't worked out in 3 weeks. My motivation is at 0% right now. Mainly due to my fucked up head and not the holiday season.

 

[Big_Dippin]

My training has definately slacked and my eating has been out of control the last few weeks.

 

[newpump]

I'm on my 2nd month off, I'm gaining weight like a muther, and I feel FAT . Good news is that my back is healing, I have had a long term herniated disk problem - it feels GREAT now. I figure I'll give the ol back till just after new years, THEN HIT THE GYM HARD AGAIN AND NOT LOOK BACK

 

[trial0r]

I'm in the same boat. However, now I'm finished with my classes until Jan. 13th. So, I usually look forward to Christmas break because I actually have more time for the gym. Maily because I don't have to study for a month.
