Dec. 6, 2010.
It will be two weeks this wednesday since I lasted lifted. My mouth is finally starting to feel normal again. I had some trouble with the right side of my mouth (dry socket) and had to go back in last Monday but it's feeling better and better each day. I think I'll try and bench tomorrow night to see how the pressure in my mouth is and if all goes well then I'll try to deadlift Wednesday, too.
Last week was really rough for me. A combination of a lot of things (pain, not eating enough, not sleeping well, not training) and unfortunately it got the better of me. Training isn't just about the physical gains, it's just as important my mental state. I get overwhelmed with anxiety/stress, I get more impatient, easily frustrated, and start to feel depressed when I don't train for a while. It's not a good look! So hopefully this is the week I can start pushing myself again!
