Ha! I woke up this morning with my left foot all inflamed with gout. I will be barly able to walk tonight and can look foward to a week or so of intense pain and throbbing from my foot. I am ready to just quit and give up. I have to say this has me very depressed right now. -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!

Maybe you just need to take it REAL easy for a day or two and hang out on the couch..... Terrible thing to type or even think about I know, but sometimes a little rest IS necessary. And to think that I was in a BLAH mood yesterday for no reason at all...Now I feel kinda bad for being so selfish :o)

I have been resting for a month now .......ho hum I guess I could go home and eat that bag of chips tonight -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!

And depressed?! C'mon, Mutt! Sit back and revel in your accomplishments! You must take care of yourself first. That's what this is all about. Taking a break is not quitting. Give yourself plenty of time to heal and recouperate. You'll come back even more enegized. Now, look into the mirror, do your best Stuart Smalley impression, and use some of that kick-ass motivation that you're so good at dishing out! We're all pullin for ya! TSMD

Do you remember that, Mutt? That is what you told me when I was off for almost two months because of my shoulder. I was soooo ticked because it didn't appear to be getting any better, and I had just started training for my comp. So, listen to your own advice, because you are right!! -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

I guess I just need to wait till the weekend to see, I have medication for it coming to night that should lessen the length and pain involved.

I sometimes get sick for a couple months at a time and i know how much of a bummer it is when you cant workout . Keep your head up!Smile . I know you have it in you!

I did take the meds and drank a lot of water and today it is not as red or sore so maybe i caught it in time..thanks for all the support I really neeeded it! -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!
