Y’all have heard of that thing recovering addicts get called withdrawals right? So it turns out that if an athlete gets used to a certain routine, you can get a similar outcome. Okay, maybe not everyone has this but I definitely do, and it sucks! Now this wouldn’t be a problem if my club owned it’s own gym. But we don’t. So since we have to deal with the parent teacher conferences at the school we normally use for practice is in use… Which means we don’t have half of our practices this week! I mean what is that?!
That’s bullshit, that’s what that is! (Pardon my French, but I’m sure you can understand my frustration here.)

Back to my point, withdrawals from lack of exercise. You might have absolutely no idea what I mean, I’m talking about: cramps in muscles that are expecting a workout, decreased appetite, and the worst in my opinion, laziness. When there’s not something that you are required to do, you don’t want to do anything at all. In many cases if I don’t go to practice, I will procrastinate on my homework by watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. I find myself slugging around with the most physical activity being my thumbs either texting or pathetically using the Xbox controller, neither ever requiring more than my wrists to move. As you can probably guess, it’s pretty sad.
To make matters worse, after next week, my club is off for Christmas break. Now most of you don’t know my family, (I hope) but we like to eat. I mean we REALLY like to eat, which is why we work out so much. So that’s how I’ll be spending the break: food, Netflix, food, hopefully play a bit, and more food. NOT a good recipe without a guaranteed practice in case any of you were wondering. My advice? Don’t follow my examples, and if you must… Know when you go back, it will be Hell.
