I was in Tokyo for what turned out to be three weeks for work, and I did not work out. However, I did work, drink and eat a lot, which means I've put on about 8 pounds. Crap.
Anyway, so I came back last Saturday, and started hitting the gym again on Tuesday after I'd recovered a bit from the jet lag and spent a nice weekend with the girl. I did a light workout, going about 20% lighter than where I was before I left and not doing as many exercises. For instance, I only did one set of bench and incline for chest rather than my full routine. I also skipped a few exercises, like I did squats and a couple of light lunges, but I didn't do dead lifts. This seemed about perfect because the next day I was able to go in and do some light cardio, and then today I went it and did a slightly more intense lift followed by more intense cardio.
I'll get one more workout tomorrow before I'm off again, this time to Los Angeles for E3, for another week. Hopefully the hotel there will have at least a small gym where I can do some maintenance lifting and exercise. Actually, I just checked the web-site and the hotel has a pretty good gym. So maybe I'll be back here with some better news than this time.
