Work and swimming

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?

  • There are sometimes in life where the reality is that we have to do things that we can't sustain over the long haul.If the duration of these is not too long,fine.The problem is when the unsustainable becomes the norm.Continue that for too long and your body will make you stop. I have to swim,it is not a luxury,it is a very important part of my physical and psychological well being,just like eating,sleeping and breathing. Sure you can take off the 10 lb later,but what if later is in 2 yr and it is 30 lb. If 4000 yd is unworkable and is draining of energy instead of energizing try 1500 three times a week. If you are sitting in a chair 12 hr/day that is unsustainable.
