Hi hawkeye

I'm really sorry to hear you have been so sick.

I'm sure once you get back into the gym you will feel soo much better. I always find that when i'm feeling bad and then i go and have a workout it makes me feel so alive and energised.

I'd say you will be pretty sore next week after your time off from training, but they say "no pain no gain".

Hope you feel 100% again soon.

stay positive man. as soon as the moving drama fades away and you get your training back on track im sure you will feel better

[hawkeye]

thanks guys,can't wait 2 get back 2 it.can't beat the feeling of lifting heavy weights.

Hope your over the virus, first couple of trainings will be hard, but I sure you will get back into it in no time.

Healthy body - Healthy mind. I hate it when i miss a gym session, if i miss a few in a row i feal lethargic etc. Who would think that expending energy in the gym actually makes you feel more energised.

^ Wot they sez.

You'll find the lost weight will come back pretty quickly once you get back into it.

got back to the gym today at last,only to catch a bloody cold.NOT HAPPY!!!

[deegee]

hey your not having a good run at the moment, Sorry to hear about the cold, maybe just need time to fully recover. Hang in there

[Pseudonym]

Yep, I'd agree. Don't rush back too soon, take time to recover properly, and keep your protein intake high in the meantime!

...and keep your protein intake high in the meantime!

This is very good advise, not only will it help conserve your hard earned muscle, but i read that high protein intakes will help you to fight your cold faster, not directly obviously but in some form.

thanks guys,will do.
