Finally...getting back to it!

After three weeks off, I'm finally getting back into my workouts! I think it was a culmination of things that caused me to take off for so long - stress, burnout, fighting a sinus infection that triggered 24-hour asthma attacks after working out, etc. But last night, I did Step Blast and had only mild asthmatic problems, so I guess my antibiotics are finally kicking the ol' sinus infection in the butt!

It felt good exercising again, but I'll admit, my stamina and muscle mass have taken a minor hit. I'm not starting over at scratch, but I definitely feel challenged and will have to step back to some of the lighter workouts for a little while as I build back up to full speed.
 
I took a little time off myself and have gone back with no problems.
Just when I was catching on to most of the HC DVD's, I got a sick kid and a huge project due!

Did you have to dust off the DVD cases?

I had to take three weeks off as well because of a death in the family that required me to travel out of state. During that time I also came down with some respiratory/sinus infection that seems to be lingering.

I was soooo ready to start my workouts again. I was suprised that I didn't lose anymore conditioning than what I did. I came back doing the same workouts that I did before, but they are fairly challenging right now. I was able to pick right back up and run 5 miles on the treadmill, but had to decrease my pace slightly. I really thought it would be a huge struggle! I haven't tackled Imax 3 yet though. That one will have to wait until I am completely over this sinus thing and can breath normally!

Welcome back to working out!

Good for you. I've actually had very serious medical issues in my family so am coming back after about 7 mos... now that is taking some adjustment.. so 3 weeks you will do fine.
 
If it's any consolation, remember, muscles cells have memory, or at least that's what I've been told. You'll be back to your old self & better in no time!
