How do others here get to do their work and good workouts at the same time? I usually train about 4000 yards a day but at the moment I have too much work where I need to concentrate. I often work until early in the morning. I work in animation so my work is always sitting down at my animation desk and computer.
I have to admit that I have a lot of work and if I'd do my swimming now I would get too tired at some point, so I took a break from swimming(and gained 10 lbs during this time:( )
I know I'll lose the weight as soon as I hit the pool again but also I will get less work done because I'll be drained.
How do others do it?

I've been in the opposite mode. I'm currently looking for FT work and have been for quite a while now. However I've kept swimming and training. But since LC Nats I have just lost the will to keep training. Its a downward spiral for me: if I can't afford to go to meets I don't want to train. I just have much more important things to take care of.
Currently I haven't swam in almost 3 weeks and feel horrible. I'm gonna have to start completely from scratch almost (and I'm a Top 10 swimmer). I'm gonna start back Monday and try to swim 3x a week, but I am not planning on competing in 2012 unless I get back working and can have a routine. I just can't get my head to push my heart to train right now.
It sucks, but life throws you curveballs.
