Strong and Fit: Lose Fat, Build Muscle

A few days back I wrote about getting re-focused on my training. 

Guess what?  It hasn't really happened.  I'm still managing to get in the gym a couple of times a week, and I'm starting a new strength training cycle.  But this is turning out to be one of the busiest months of ministry (for those who don't know me, I'm a missionary/campus minister).  I've been traveling, will travel again soon, and have a really busy speaking schedule.  I won't be able to train at all from July 18th--July 25th. 

I have two options here:
1.  I can get all bent out of shape and worry about my lack of training, or . . .
2. I can just accept the fact that I'm really busy and get back on track by late July or August.

I'm choosing option #2.  I hope all of my fellow fitness enthusiast will approach things the same way.  You have to be flexible, and there is life outside of the gym.

I see guys (on fitness forums, etc) that get nuerotic and think taking a week off is going to turn them into the blob.  It won't--I've learned this from experience.
