Depression and gallstones put me out of action for 10 goddamn months (should have been a fortnight but the NHS is the best healthcare provider in the world).

I know that feel. Prepare for DOMS, but after a week, now that you know what happens if you stop going, you'll get addicted and never willingly miss another workout.

Case in point; my gym shut a week for Christmas, and I fell completely off the wagon. I used to be a smoker, and not being able to lift felt exactly like quitting cold turkey; I lost most inhibitions, did nothing productive, sleeping pattern and diet went to shit. Depression and anxiety came back too.

First day back though, I felt like the king of the goddamn world (also I'd just started taking electrolyte supplements so that helped).

Godspeed anon.

holy shit I'm missing doms so much

Luckily I had the consistency to attend to the gym for 2 years and a couple of months straights until this, and I remember the sweet feeling of being unable to wash my hair due to arm's doms or standing out of bed due to my legs killing me.

I'm so looking forward to it.

Also it's weird how just one week of the tracks can pretty much fuck you for a long period of time.

The pain is the mark of sweet, sweet gains.

Well luckily I follow a really strict routine, so once the gym re-opened I got back in to that within a couple of days. Discipline is the key.

Tell you one thing I didn't miss; shitting 3 times a day. Can't wait for my next cut, I'll be rich with not having to buy so much TP.

Damn, I didn't stop the shitting part.

I really couldn't stop eating like I was lifting even though I wasn't

It was starting to show... good thing I'll be back at it

Hah, might be time for a cut then tubs. Might be good actually; once you've cut you can bulk and see the progress.

>doctors told you to stop lifting
you should have just stopped going to the doctor instead

That happened to me when I was 18. I got a chest x-ray when I had a heart palpitation and they thought I had a huge fucking tumor in my right lung. I spent a week coping with the possiblity of death just for them to call me up and say they had dust on the equipment. It's a wild ride.
